Information Collected From the Registration Form
Our registration form requires users to provide contact information
(name, postal address, and email address). We collect and use that
information for such purposes as customer contact and verification.
In addition, some information provided on the registration form
is optional in that it is not necessary in order for us to deliver
services. As a result, you determine whether to submit such optional
information.
Information Collected by “Cookies”
In addition to our registration forms, our site uses “cookies” to
save your user name so that you do not have to go through the complete
registration process each time you visit our web site. We also use
“cookies” to track usage and traffic patterns. In addition, we use
“cookies” to help us to personalize your experience with our web
site and assist us in informing you of goods and services that are
most relevant to you. We offer you the option of accepting or declining
“cookies” since our web site will continue to work properly if you
choose not to accept “cookies.” The “Help” icon of the toolbar on
most software web browsers provides information about how to prevent
your computer from accepting new “cookies,” how to have your computer
notify you when a new “cookie” is added, or how to disable “cookies.”

Contact information will be used by us and our affiliated companies
to provide a personalized experience to you.

is an important part of our business. Your contact information may

marital status, social security number, birth date, etc.) will be
held in confidence and not disclosed to any third party without
your express permission or pursuant to a court order.

notice box.
In addition, we offer you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving
information and communications from unaffiliated third parties and
we also give you the option of removing your contact information
from our database. If you wish to do so, you can e-mail a request
to customerservice@sweepstakesclearinghouse.com.
