Personal Information. Your personal information and the contents of all of your online communications on or through the website may be accessed and monitored as necessary to operate the websites and provide our services and content.  When you use the websites, we may collect the following types of information from you: contact information, demographic and profile information, and survey responses. In addition, if you correspond with us by e-mail, we may retain the content of your e-mail messages, your e-mail address, and our responses.  You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information (for example, your user name or e-mail address) via comments, messages, postings, or in other public areas of the websites, that information can be collected and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties.  These activities are beyond our control.

How We Use Your Information. Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy or as required by law, we will not disclose, sell, rent, share, trade or give away any of your personal information. We use the personal data we collect to communicate with you, to tailor your experience at the websites, to show you content that we think you might be interested in, and to display the content according to your preferences.  We share aggregated demographic and profile data with advertisers, and we share your registration information with our sponsors, partners, and advertisers. In addition, we may share personal information about you with third parties when we engage them to perform services on our behalf, including maintenance services, hosting, data storage, security, analytics and data analysis, payment processing, marketing, email and text message distribution, customer service, providing certain interactive tools, and conducting surveys.  We will disclose information about individual users to governmental or judicial authorities, law enforcement agencies, or other individuals or entities when required to do so in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes.  Finally, we may share information to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected illegal activities or fraud, or to enforce this Privacy Policy and other policies, terms, conditions, and guidelines published on the websites.

We may also provide social media features on the website that enable you to share personal information with your social networks and to interact with the websites.  Depending on the features, your use of these features may result in the collection or sharing of personal information about you.
