registration pages operated by third parties (collectively, a
"Survey"). (As used herein, "online" means using the

information, which may include his or her name, email address, street address,
zip code, telephone numbers, cell phone numbers and carriers, birth date, age,

for providing Survey Information, including but not limited to software
programs, screensavers, sweepstakes entries etc.

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.

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
