Vital Media, Inc. (“Company”) respects your right to privacy. We are committed to protecting your privacy. Your continued use of our website and your submission of any information to us indicate that you have read, understand and agree to our Privacy Policy.
What Information Do We Collect And How Do We Protect It?
This information may also include any other personal information or unique preference information you choose to provide us. Other Forms and Sharing The "List a Sweep" page on MyFreeSweeps presents a registration form for the submission of sweepstakes to MyFreeSweeps. Webmasters can register their respective sweepstakes with MyFreeSweeps for consideration and placement on the site if accepted. Apart from the information provided to the sponsors that you personally select (and their agents), MyFreeSweeps.com will never sell, rent or in any way share your information with third parties unless: i) we are required to do so by judicial or other governmental order or ii) as may be required by statute or iii) in the event that you win a prize through a sweepstakes posted on MyFreeSweeps.com. If you win a prize, we will ask your permission to place your name on MyFreeSweeps.com’s winners page. You are under no obligation to allow us to use your name in such a way. The choice to do so is entirely yours as we believe that whenever possible you should be in complete control of your personal information. Although we do our best to screen each of the sponsors on our website, we cannot guarantee that the sponsors won’t use your information in ways that you or we may not agree with, including junk mail and even phone solicitations. The main reason some Web sites offer sweepstakes is to build a mailing list for marketing purposes. You should be aware that many of the sweepstakes you enter will add your name to their e-mail list and send you promotional materials. This means, for example, that if you enter a golf vacation sweepstakes, the company sponsoring the sweep will likely market golf related products to you. They may even be sponsoring the sweep just to develop a mailing list of people interested in golf that they will then sell to other companies. In that situation, you may then receive offers from those other companies. You will have the option to unsubscribe from these materials. Some of our sweepstakes sponsors may be members of the NAI Network. Please click here for additional information. At no time are you ever required to purchase anything to enter into any of the sweepstakes at MyFreeSweeps.com. As a part of our business, we are paid by the sponsors who advertise their sweeps on our site. In some instances, we may receive, either directly or indirectly, a portion of the revenue a sweepstakes sponsor derives from marketing to those who enter their sweepstakes or selling the mailing list they develop. Our site contains links to other sites. Please note that these other sites may have privacy policies that differ from that of MyFreeSweeps.com and we cannot exercise any control over what they do with any personal information you choose to provide them with. Tell-A-Friend If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for your friend’s email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. MyFreeSweeps stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at privacy@myfreesweeps.com to request that we remove this information from our database. Change/Modify MyFreeSweeps.com gives users the options of changing and modifying information previously provided. To do so, visit www.MyFreeSweeps.com and login to your account. On this page you will find all of the contact information that you submitted at time of your registration. After changing the necessary fields, click on the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page. If you provide information and wish in the future that we stop using this information, just send your request to privacy@myfreesweeps.com. Choice/Opt-out We provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information. For example, if you purchase a product/service but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material, you can indicate your preference on the order form. If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by emailing us at privacy@myfreesweeps.com. We offer an opportunity to opt-out of certain communications on your MyFreeSweeps Preferences page, or you may contact us Vital Media Inc. Other Information Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies. See “Third Party Advertisers.” This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by MyFreeSweeps.com only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers. See the “Third Party Advertisers” section. Our Web site uses both session and persistent "cookie" technology to keep track of your portfolio and to make the entire site easier to use. When you register we create a cookie that stores your username, password and ID number. Having the cookie gives you the option to save your password so you don't have to enter it each time you login to MyFreeSweeps.com. The ID number represents the unique record of your MyFreeSweeps.com account and it is impossible to access your MyFreeSweeps.com Personal Portfolio without it. This is typical of how Web sites keep track of your personal information and make sure that it stays private. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site. Most browsers allow you to accept or disable cookies. If your browser is set to disable or reject cookies you will not be able to use MyFreeSweeps.com. If you are having trouble accessing your MyFreeSweeps.com Personal Portfolio, the first thing to check is to make sure your browser is set to accept cookies. While different versions of different browsers all work differently, the following guide may prove helpful: For Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 click on "View" or and select Internet Options. Then click on the Advanced tab. Scroll down until you find Cookies. Under Cookies are three options: Always accept cookies, Prompt before accepting cookies, and Disable all cookie use. Either of the first two options will allow you to use MyFreeSweeps.com. For Netscape Navigator 4.7 click on "Edit," then "Preferences," then "Advanced." Click on the button that says "Accept all cookies." You can help keep your MyFreeSweeps.com information private by not sharing your password with anyone. It's also recommended that you chose a password that would be hard to guess. Examples of poor passwords include the name of a family member or pet. If you really want to keep your MyFreeSweeps.com information private, you probably won't want to use the auto-login feature. Finally, you can change your password anytime you like by using the "Save Changes" button as described above. MyFreeSweeps.com maintains relationships with outside service providers for some of the products and services offered through our site. The information these providers make available may be presented in a "framed" format, where the MyFreeSweeps.com border will surround the pages served by the service providers, or by directly linking the user to the vendors' sites. In either case, the service provider is prominently identified. Please be aware that any information you provide on those framed pages is provided directly to those service providers and is subject to their security and privacy policies. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these outside service providers because their privacy practices may differ from ours. This site has online as well as offline security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may or may not include all of the following information: internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider(ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site, diagnose problems with our server and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Please feel free to e-mail any questions to privacy@myfreesweeps.com. If you are unable to contact us by e-mail, our address is Notification of Changes This policy may be revised over time as new features are added to the website. We will post those changes prominently so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone. Please check this site for information about revisions to our privacy policy. If we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner materially different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify you via e-mail. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner. However, if you have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated your account, then you will not be contacted, nor will your personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our web site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also e-mail users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected. We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Web site.
