COLLECTING AND USING PERSONAL INFORMATION

Information is collected from you when you register to enter the ShingoSweepstakes.com contest. We need to collect this personal information from you in order to process and fulfill your online sweepstakes entries. Choosing not to provide us with all of your personal information will limit our ability to deliver your prize.

We may also use the personal data we collect for systems administration, troubleshooting purposes, reporting aggregate data to marketing partners, marketing our products and services, informing you about future contests and promotions, and contacting you about related offers from third parties.

We also automatically collect information such as your IP address and the site that referred you to ours. All data acquired via the website is stored indefinitely. Because of the nature of the Internet, data may pass through any country and any jurisdiction, including jurisdictions where privacy laws may be different and less protective than those of your home jurisdiction.

Unless you opt-out of receiving promotional materials, we may send you information by email or postal mail to the address you provided. From time to time we may notify you of special promotions, new products, contests, or services, or other information from third parties that may interest you. You may also receive notifications of promotions, new products, or additional services from our third-party sponsors and associates. If you would like to opt out of receiving correspondence from ShingoSweepstakes.com, please send your request to unsubscribe@shingosweepstakes.com.

We may share your personal information with our third-party sponsors, unless you opt-out of this service. Our third party sponsors may use your information to contact you about other relevant promotions, products, and services you may be interested in. ShingoSweepstakes.com also reserves the right to share your information with these third parties, in order to fulfill your prize, provide related services, or when it is necessary to comply with legal processes, respond to claims, or protect the rights, property, or safety of our company.

ShingoSweepstakes.com may use cookies to give you a more personalized sweepstakes contest website.

If you do not want cookies saved to your system, you may change your browser's settings so that your computer does not accept them. If cooknies are disabled, however, you may experience technical problems with our website, and you may not be able to enter our contests and promotions.

OUTSIDE LINKS

ShingoSweepstakes.com may contain links to other websites. These websites may include the contests' sponsors, affiliates, and other related third parties. ShingoSweepstakes.com does not control any of these third-party websites, and we are therefore not responsible for these sites' use of your personal information. When you visit a linked third-party website, you should become familiar with the privacy practices of that website.

CHILDREN'S ONLINE PRIVACY

In order to protect the privacy of children on the Internet, we will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 without the prior written consent of a parent or guardian. If we learn that a contest entrant is actually under the age of 13, we will make every effort to delete all personal information for this person from our database, as our site is intended for adults 18 years of age or older. Our contest, furthermore, is only open to those who are 18 or older.

We may occasionally change content and features found on ShingoSweepstakes.com. Because of this, we may change our privacy policies at any time, so that our policies reflect our site revisions. We suggest you revisit our privacy policy on occasion to ensure you are familiar with our practices.

The current privacy policy replaces all previous notices we may have provided about our information practices. We reserve the right to revise and modify this policy at any time without notice and to apply these changes in policy to information previously collected, where permissible. We will notify you of changes by posting the policy changes to the Privacy Policy page of the ShingoSweepstakes.com website. This privacy policy was last updated on October 15, 2007.
