Privacy Policy
This site is owned, operated and/or
administered by Million Dollar Media (“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.
Children’s 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
Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”)
California Residents – Your California Privacy Rights
(As provided by California Civil Code
Section 1798.83).
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.
If you are a California resident, you
may make a request for the disclosures described above or make a request to
delete personal information we collected from you, by contacting us at:

This form is intended only for consumers as defined under the California
Consumer Privacy Act.
Consumers are natural persons who reside in California. Million Dollar Media
will not respond to requests from any individuals who are not consumers or
authorized agents as defined under the CCPA.
Changes to this policy.

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.
