ShoppingClubUSA.com will also require your name, date of birth, address, home phone, zip code, country, mother’s maiden name and gender in order to provide the Service, although this information may not necessarily be collected by ShoppingClubUSA.com upon completion of the registration process. Additionally, ShoppingClubUSA.com may request, but does not require, your credit card number and/or social security number, as well as personal interests in order to better provide the Service. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to customize your experience and the Service that you receive. As always, you can simply view the Site without registering for a membership or subscribing to portions of the Service without being required to provide any personal information, except that which is necessary to accommodate your request. II. What are cookies and how does ShoppingClubUSA.com use them? As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, ShoppingClubUSA.com uses cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Any Site which asks you to log-in or that are customizable require that you accept cookies. Generally, ShoppingClubUSA.com uses cookies to: (1) Remind us of who you are and to access your account information (stored on our computers) in order to deliver to you a better and more personalized service. This cookie is set when you register or "Login" and is modified when you "Customize" or "Logout" of our services. ShoppingClubUSA.com also uses cookies to store your zip code and other information you have submitted for other services, such as displaying your local weather. (2) Estimate our audience size. Each browser accessing ShoppingClubUSA.com is given a unique cookie which is then used to determine the extent of repeat usage, usage by a registered user versus by an unregistered user, and to help target advertisements based on user interests and behavior. (3) Assist affiliates and merchants associated with ShoppingClubUSA.com to track visits to and usiness at their sites and stores, and to process the items in your shopping basket. This information collected by cookies is sometimes called "clickstream" or "click trail" and may also describe which pages you have seen in each merchant's store. (4) Measure certain traffic patterns, for example areas of ShoppingClubUSA.com's network of Sites you have visited, and your visiting patterns in the aggregate. We use this research to understand how our users' habits are similar or different from one another so that we can make each new experience on a ShoppingClubUSA.com Site a better one. We may use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you and other users will see on our sites. Advertisers that serve ads onto ShoppingClubUSA.com may also use their own cookies. ShoppingClubUSA.com also collects IP addresses for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. In addition, ShoppingClubUSA.com Mail includes IP addresses in outgoing mail message headers. III. How does ShoppingClubUSA.com use my information? ShoppingClubUSA.com's primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience on our network of Sites and through our partners. This includes personalization services, interactive communications, online shopping and many other types of services, most of which are completely free to you. In order to provide services free of charge, we display advertisements and encourage your participation in opt-in mailings. By knowing a little about you, ShoppingClubUSA.com is able to deliver more relevant advertisements and content and hence better service, to you. In our role of delivering targeted advertisements, ShoppingClubUSA.com plays the middleman. Advertisers give us an advertisement and tell us the type of audience they want to reach (for example, males over 35 years old). ShoppingClubUSA.com takes the advertisement and displays it to users meeting that criteria. In this process, the advertiser never has access to individual user information. In other cases, this information may be shared with ShoppingClubUSA.com's affiliates and trusted partners in order to deliver advertisements and e-mail offers. This kind of advertisement targeting is done with banner ads as well as promotional email through ShoppingClubUSA.com, its affiliates and trusted business partners. You will only receive special offers via email from ShoppingClubUSA.com, its affiliates and trusted business partners if you have indicated in your account preferences, or at some other time, that you would like to receive them. ShoppingClubUSA.com does research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion, from our server log files or from surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. ShoppingClubUSA.com may share this aggregated data with advertisers or business partners. As ShoppingClubUSA.com develops, we may buy other businesses or their assets or sell our business assets. Customer information is generally one of the business assets involved in such transactions. Thus, in the event that ShoppingClubUSA.com or all of its assets are acquired, customer information, including any visitor information collected through the Site or the Service, would be one of the transferred assets. ShoppingClubUSA.com reserves the right to disclose collected information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contract or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) ShoppingClubUSA.com’s rights or property, other visitors, subscribers, members or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. ShoppingClubUSA.com also reserves the right to disclose visitor, member or subscriber information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it. IV. Who is collecting information? When you are on a Site and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with ShoppingClubUSA.com alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise in this Privacy Policy or in an offer form or registration form that you may be asked to complete as part of utilizing the Service. For example, certain information like name, e-mail address, and address, as well as your responses to survey questions, may be shared with affiliates and trusted business partners to better provide the Service and to provide you with timely e-mail offers or products that interest you. Additionally, some Services, like ShoppingClubUSA.com Wireless, are offered in conjunction with a partner company.
