How We Collect Information
The Company gathers information in the following ways:

Cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. The Company uses cookies only to enable users to be routed properly through our site. We also provide links to external advertisers and marketing Partner companies; these sites may choose to use cookies to better promote their products and services. These advertisers and marketing partner companies have their own privacy procedures and policies that are not controlled by the Company.

We encourage our users to be aware of the individual privacy policies of every web site that the user contacts.

Clear Gif's (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
The Company may also use a software technology called clear gif's (Web Beacons or Web Bugs), that help us determine what content on our site is most effective. Clear gif's are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gif's to our customers' personally identifiable information.

We also use clear gif's in our HTML-based emails so that we know which emails have been opened. We use this information to monitor the effectiveness of our email campaigns and to validate our results to our marketing partners.

Log Files
Log files are also used to track and monitor traffic patterns on our site. They are not used to track or monitor personally identifiable information.

Tell-A-Friend
Users may forward the email address of another person who may also be interested in this particular offer. The information is used only to forward the information to that person and is not retained for any other purpose.

User Feedback/Inquiries
Users may contact the Company with any feedback, questions or comments. The Company uses contact information only to respond to the feedback.

Other Circumstances
Subsequent to this promotion, the Company may sponsor sweepstakes, contests or other events for which we need to collect and retain personally identifiable information. The Company may co-sponsor such events with other companies.

Information We Share
All information provided to the Company by the users of this site may be used to support our suppression, validation and enhancement services to other marketing companies, advertising agencies, compilers and data companies.

As an example, opt-out information may be shared with other marketing partners so that those users opting out of further offers are suppressed from the partner's mailings or promotions, as well as our own. In addition to complying with our users' preferences, it simply makes good business sense to mail only to those customers who have indicated a desire to receive such mailings.

The Company's business model includes participating in affiliate network programs and other co-marketing partnerships to promote our site. We reserve the right to share with 3rd parties the information we collect on this site for any purpose.

Use of Information
This Privacy Policy applies to consumers that have submitted their email address through our affiliate network program and other co-marketing partnerships to promote our site. We may share the personal information that you supply to us with other third party businesses to bring selected opportunities (offers) to our members via direct mail, email, SMS, and telemarketing. These businesses mayinclude providers of direct marketing services and applications, including lookup and reference, data enhancement, suppression and validation and email marketing.

SMS Offering and Opt-out Rights
By completing or submitting a registration form or partial registration form you are consenting to receive SMS, wireless or other mobile offering to your cell phone. You understand that your wireless carrier's standard charges and rates apply to these messages. For SMS text messages, you may remove your information by replying  "STOP", "END", or "QUIT" to the SMS text message you have received and we will remove your personal information within 10 days of receiving such request.
