limited to, their browser type (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer),
operating system (e.g., Windows or Macintosh), IP address, and the domain

information, which may be combined with visitors' personal information and
shared with our marketing partners, advertisers, and other third parties. We
may also use cookies for other purposes, including, but not limited to,

Survey, Order Form, Registration Pages.
We collect information from individuals when an individual voluntarily
completes an order form, a Company survey, or a registration page online or
by means of online order forms or registration pages operated by third
parties (collectively, a "Survey"). (As used herein, "online" means using
the Internet and related technologies.) In the Surveys, the Company or the
third party (the "Third Party") may ask an individual to provide various
information, which may include his or her name, email address, street
address, zip code, telephone numbers, cell phone numbers and carriers, birth
date, age, gender, salary range, education, marital status, occupation,
employment information, personal and online interests, and such other
information as may be requested from time to time (together, "Survey
Information"). Completing a Survey is completely voluntary, and individuals
are under no obligation to provide Survey Information to the Company or
Third Party, but an individual may receive incentives from the Company or a
Third Party in exchange for providing Survey Information, including but not
limited to software programs, screensavers, sweepstakes entries etc.
Co-Registration Partners.
The Company collects information from subscribers when an individual provides
information to a third party, and the individual subsequently is given the
opportunity to subscribe to The Company's email marketing lists. Such
subscriptions are provided at no cost to the individual. When acquiring
subscribers through the "co-registration" process, the Company seeks
assurances from the Third Party that the Third Party has provided a
conspicuous option for the individual to choose not to become a subscriber
of Company's lists and that a hyperlink to this privacy policy is available
for each individual to read before deciding to become a subscriber of
Company's lists.
Other Information.
The Company may request personal information on other occasions, including (1) when an
individual makes a claim for a prize or seeks to redeem an incentive offered
by the Company or by a third party; (2) when an individual requests
assistance through Company’s customer service department; and (3) when an
individual voluntarily subscribes to a Company service or newsletter
(together, "Other Information").
Outside Information.
The Company may receive, store and disseminate information about individuals from third
parties ("Outside Information").
No Information Collected from Children.
The Company does not intentionally collect personal information from children
who are younger than age 13. The Company therefore has no such information
to disclose to third parties or to use.
