demographic information (occupation). Contact information
will be used to forward promotional information (if
the user has specifically agreed/opted in to receive
such information), to notify the winners and award
prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes
of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction
of this site.

regulatory and security environment, we may be forced
to disclose individually identifiable information

necessary by contract, legal process, or the technical
operation of the service.
