Privacy
Policy
This site is owned, operated and/or administered
by Million Dollar Media, LLC (“MDM”).
MDM’s privacy policy covers the collection, use and dissemination of
personal information that may be collected
through this website, through your participation in the contest, promotion or
sweepstakes, your registration for any club, or when you contact MDM. This
policy outlines our treatment of personally identifiable information we collect
on behalf of our clients, sponsors and for our own use. Please
take a moment to read the following to learn more about our information
practices, including what type of information is gathered, how the information
is used and for what purposes, to whom we disclose the information, and how we
safeguard your personal information.
Why we
collect information.
MDM is a company that primarily assists our
clients, sponsors and other businesses (“sponsor(s)”) operate contests, sweepstakes
and promotions ("Contests"), which includes among other areas, the
administration of contests executed through websites. Such Contests gather personally identifiable
information from those individuals who choose to enter or participate in a particular
Contest, through MDM’s proprietary online technology and other offline methods
of entry, and anonymous data regarding the Contest itself. MDM collects such personally identifiable
information solely for the use of the sponsor(s) and the operation of the Contest.
How we use the information collected.
If you enter a contest, sweepstakes or promotion
on any website managed or administered by MDM, we will ask you to provide
information about yourself (such as your name, address, phone number, date of
birth, and valid email address, along with any other optional information as
requested from the contest sponsor(s)). Among other things, we will need this
information to verify your eligibility, ensure compliance with the Official
Rules of the contest, notify potential winners, coordinate shipping or delivery
of any prize awards, responding to your inquiries,
customizing your experience, improving our contests, and/or communicating with
you. This information will also be
used for marketing purposes by any and all related sponsor(s) or other participating parties,
including to alert you of future promotions held by any participating sponsor(s), promote special offers,
products, features, sales or services of sponsor(s), and other marketing analysis.
We will share this information with any and all sponsor(s) of the contest; and such sponsor(s) will be identified in the official
rules of the contest. We may also share this information with other third-party
service providers that are involved with or provide assistance in the
administration of the contest, such as by conducting drawings, contacting participants,
and/or delivering prizes. If you do not
want to provide the requested information or have the information provided to sponsor(s) or other third-party service
providers, please do not enter the contest.
MDM does not sell your information to any unrelated third parties, who
have not sponsored or are not involved in the administration or execution of
the Contest.
MDM strictly limits access to personally
identifiable information within its organization, and except as noted above, data
is never shared outside of the company for any reason whatsoever (with the
exception of its clients, appropriate governmental or legal requests). Personally identifiable information collected
from different Contests is never shared with anyone other than the sponsor(s) on
whose behalf the information was collected.
Personally identifiable information collected by MDM on behalf of sponsor(s)
belongs solely to the sponsor(s) and will be used solely in accordance with each
particular sponsor(s) Privacy Policy.
An individual's desire to "opt-out" of
receiving marketing or other information from a sponsor will be handled in accordance
with a particular sponsor’s Privacy Policy.
MDM instructs its clients and sponsors to use the data which MDM
collects on its behalf in accordance with generally accepted privacy standards
for both offline and online data, which includes an "opt-out" method
for individuals who have provided personally identifiable information. Ultimately, however, MDM is not responsible
for data collected on behalf of its clients or sponsors when such data is in
its client's or sponsor’s possession.
What
information we collect.
The information we collect helps us personalize and continually
improve our contest websites, as well as offers, information, content, and
communication regarding products and services from related sponsor(s). Here are the types of information we gather.
Automatic
Information:
Our servers automatically collect certain
non-personally identifying information, such as your computer’s IP address, the
type of browser in use, and pages viewed when you visit our Sites. We use this
information to understand how visitors navigate through our Sites, participate
in the Contest, use sponsors’ products, to enhance your experience while using
our Sites, and to make the materials we post as valuable to visitors as
possible. Such information may be linked to personally identifiable
information.
Information
You Give Us:
We
receive and store any information you enter during contest registration, account
creation or any information you voluntarily provide us in any other way,
including opt-in question responses.
Million
Dollar Media’s Online Promotion
Technology.
MDM’s proprietary Promotion technology has the
ability to collect data other than personally identifiable information for any
of the Promotions it operates online. MDM may collect information about your
computer configuration, such as your browser type, operating system, or ISP
domain name. MDM may collect information
about the site you last visited prior to the Contest or about your activity
during your visit to the Contest site.
This information may be used by MDM to administer the technical and
operational aspects of this site, and may include using your IP address to help
diagnose problems with our server. Your
IP address may also be used to gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use. MDM may use a cookie, a piece of data stored on the user's hard
drive containing information about the user, to assist in performing some or
all of these activities and also to limit your ability to play a Contest more
times than allowed. You can set your
browser to accept all, some, or no cookies.
If you set your browser to reject all cookies, you may be limited in
your ability to access some, or all aspects of a particular Contest. MDM may also use other technologies to help us
understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our visitors
are going, how much time they spend there, assist in the return visit and
log-in process for entrants, and other uses.
Our
clients, sponsors or other 3rd party partners will often employ the
use of a “click-through URL” linked to content on their website. When a
participant clicks one of these URLs, they may pass through a web server before
arriving at the destination web page. We may track this click-through data to
help determine general interest and measure the effectiveness of communications
and the website content.
Security of personal information.
MDM takes its privacy obligations both to its
clients, sponsors and to individuals who enter its Contests very
seriously. The security and confidentiality of
your information is extremely important to us.
We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security
measures to try to protect collected information from unauthorized access and
improper use. From time to time, we
review our security procedures in order to consider appropriate new technology
and methods.
MDM shall make all reasonable efforts
to comply with this privacy policy; however, this policy should not be
construed as a contractual undertaking and MDM cannot warrant the security of
any information that you transmit to us.
Please be aware that, despite our best efforts, no security measures are
perfect or impenetrable and by transmitting personal information over the
internet to us, you are accepting any risks associated with doing so. In addition, you are responsible for taking
appropriate measures to protect and secure all passwords, log-on or membership
identification information and account information.
Intended Audience.
MDM websites are intended for United
States audiences over the age of 13. All
of our services are operated in accordance with the laws of the United
States. We make no representation that
any service or product offered by MDM is operated in accordance with the laws
or governed by other nations. Please be
aware that any personal information you transfer to us will be transferred to
the U.S and is subject to U.S. law. We
will reject or delete any personally identifiable information that we believe
in good faith to be inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
Unless otherwise specifically indicated,
contests, sweepstakes and promotions and/or other websites administered by MDM
are not available to anyone under the age of thirteen (13). Although persons of all ages may
be allowed to visit our websites or participate in activities that do not
require the collection of personal information, we do not knowingly or
intentionally collect personal information from children under the age of
13. Except for the limited circumstances
listed above and below, we will automatically reject and delete the
registration or entry of any person we believe in good faith to be underage. Any false or fraudulent registration or entry
from a minor will be deemed to be ineligible and will disqualify the minor from
the receipt of a prize, benefit, or other participation. Except to meet Federal
regulations, as required by applicable laws, or other regulatory and legal
purposes, we will not knowingly use, store, or disclose any child's personal
information to a third party without prior parental consent.
Special Note about Children.
Whenever MDM does operate a Promotion on behalf
of its clients which collect personally identifiable information from children
under the age of thirteen (13), MDM and its clients comply fully with all
aspects of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") in
the operation of the Promotion, in the collection of the information itself and
in the subsequent use of the data collected. Personally identifiable information will not
be collected from children under the age of thirteen (13) without parental
consent in compliance with the COPPA guidelines.
Links to other websites.
MDM websites will often contain links
to other client or sponsor websites and products. MDM is not responsible for the privacy
practices or the content of such websites or products. Please visit the privacy policies of these
third party sites in order to understand their privacy policies and data
collection practices. MDM has no
liability for these third party sites, their policies or actions.
California Residents – Your California Privacy
Rights (As provided by California Civil Code Section
1798.83).
As of
January 1, 2005, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits
individuals who are California residents to request certain information
regarding disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct
marketing purposes. A California resident who has provided personal information to a
business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal,
family, or household purposes ("California customer") is entitled to
request information about whether the business has disclosed personal
information to any third parties for the third parties' direct marketing
purposes. In general, if the business
has made such a disclosure of personal information, upon receipt of a request
by a California customer, the business is required to provide a list of all
third parties to whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding
calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that
were disclosed. However, under the law,
a business is not required to provide the above-described lists if the business
adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy policy) a policy of not
disclosing customer's personal information to third parties for their direct
marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the
disclosure, as long as the business maintains and discloses this policy. Rather, the business may comply with the law
by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of personal
information and providing a cost free means to exercise that right. To make such a request, please see address below
for contacting MDM.
Changes
to this policy.
We may
revise or make material changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time to
keep it up to date with MDM’s current policies, practices, products, technologies,
services and web pages. MDM reserves the
right to revise, change or modify this policy at any time for any reason. “Updated" may be used to alert users to
recent changes and to the date of the last update. We also post FAQ’s from time
to time on specific contest websites.
