Competitions and surveys
From time to time we may provide you the opportunity to take part in competitions or surveys on our website. If you participate, we will request certain Personal Information from you. Participation in these surveys or competitions is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address). Your personally identifiable information may be used to contact you for winner notification, prize delivery confirmation or other related purposes. We may ask your permission to allow us to post publicly some of your information on the website, such as on a winner’s page, in the event you win a competition or sweepstakes. Except as required by applicable law, we will not post your information without your permission. We may decide to use a third party service provider to conduct these competitions or surveys. Any such company will be prohibited from using our users’ Personal Information for any other purpose unless you give your consent. The name of any such company will be visible on any page where you are invited to part with your information or views. We will never share the personally identifiable information you provide through a competition or survey with other third parties unless we give you prior notice and choice. In those cases where we are not the operator or host of the competition or sweepstake, we have no control over the information collected and accordingly urge you to review the advertiser’s or sponsor’s privacy policy applicable to the competition or sweepstakes before participating.
