Information Sharing

We may share aggregated non-personal information with third parties outside of Publishers Clearing House and Blingo.

For example, we may disclose how frequently the average user visits this Web site or which other query words are most often used with the query word "camera." We will release specific personal information about you if required to do so in order to comply with any valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

Confidentiality & Security

We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities. When you submit personal information (such as your mailing address) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Cookies

Upon your first visit to this Web site, we send a "cookie" to your computer. A cookie is a piece of data that identifies you as a unique user. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

Cookies make it possible for the Web site to award prizes without requiring you to register. We also use cookies to improve the quality of our service, to monitor our site traffic, and to automatically sign-in registered users. We will not disclose cookies to third parties except as required by a valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. If you have set your browser to refuse cookies you will not be able to automatically qualify for prizes (although you will still get your search results).
