Thank you for visiting the website located at
www.SweepsTalk.com or for visiting another
website that links to and utilizes this Privacy Policy (all platforms collectively referred to
as the "Site"). This Privacy Policy describes the ways in which
Company collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you access the Site.
By accessing, viewing, downloading, or otherwise using the Site, you consent to the
collection, use, and disclosure of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy, now
and as amended or modified by us.
Information Collected by Company
Company gathers information that you submit to us and information that is collected
automatically about your usage of the Site.
Information You Submit to Company
We collect information that you provide when you use the Site. This can include, but is
not limited to, your: (a) e-mail address; (b) full name; (c) company name; (d) date of
birth; (e) password; (f) mailing address; and (g) credit card information.
Information Collected Automatically About Your Usage of the Site
As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in
log files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type,
internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp,
and/or clickstream data. We may combine this automatically collected log information
with other information we collect about you. We do this to improve services we offer
you, to improve marketing, analytics, or site functionality.
When you visit the Site, we or our third-party service providers may use a "Cookie" – a
small, text-only file that we save to your hard drive – or similar technologies to
automatically collect and store non-personally-identifiable information about your usage
of the Site such as your IP address, your browser type, the links and items you click on,
ad impressions on your web browser, and the web pages you visit. Cookies enhance your
experience at the Site, and are in many instances necessary for the provision of services
to you. For example, we use Cookies to store your password so you don’t have to enter it
more than once, and to recognize you if you return to the Site using the same web
browser.
If you do not want the Site to collect this information through Cookies, you may set your
web browser to reject Cookies from the Site, or to inform you when a Cookie has been
sent to your computer and provide you with the opportunity to refuse that Cookie. Each
web browser is different, so please check your browser’s “Help” menu to learn how to
change your Cookie preferences. Please be advised that where you disable or reject
Cookies, you may not be able to use or experience the full functionality of the Site.
Other technologies such as beacons, tags and scripts are used by Company and our
partners (such as marketing partners, data partners, analytics, financial, testing,
optimization, and others), affiliates, or analytics or service providers (such as data
providers, customer support, marketing, analytics, business development, affiliate, and
other). These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking
users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user
base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these
companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.
Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on our site or to display
advertising based upon your Web browsing activity use LSOs such as HTML 5 or Flash
to collect and store information. Various browsers may offer their own management tools
for removing HTML5 LSOs.
Behavioral Targeting / Re-Targeting
We partner with third party ad networks to either display advertising on our Site and/or to
manage our advertising on other sites. Our ad network partner uses Cookies and Web
beacons to collect non-personal information about your activities on this and other Web
sites to provide you targeted advertising based upon your interests.
We also may aggregate, anonymize, or merge any of the information we collect through
the Site or elsewhere for these purposes, except as expressly stated otherwise in this
Privacy Policy.
Sharing of Information Collected by the Site
We may share the information we collect from you with third parties for the following
purposes:
(i) with affiliates and service providers who work on our behalf including, but not
limited to: credit card processing companies to process your payments for goods and
services and to verify that your credit card account is valid and active; e-mail service
providers to send out e-mails on our behalf; sales partners to sell you our services; data
partners to process data on our behalf (e.g., by removing duplicate information from user
lists, by analyzing data); and marketing partners who may market our products to you on
our behalf and provide analysis of such marketing efforts. These affiliates and service
providers will have access to your information as needed to perform their functions on
our behalf but we do not permit them to use your information for other purposes. In
addition, apart from the circumstances described above, we will not share your credit
card information with any third parties without your prior informed consent, although
notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to share with third parties the fact that
we have credit card information about you on file;
(ii) other than Sensitive Information (defined as a credit card number, financial
account number, Social Security number, driver’s license number, or credit score), with

applications, including lookup and reference, data enhancement, suppression, and
validation vendors; (b) e-mail marketers; (c) telemarketers (where permitted by
applicable law); (d) text-message-based marketers (where permitted by applicable law);
(e) direct marketers; and (f) online advertising networks. While Company strongly

Company is not responsible for their information practices, which are governed by their
respective privacy policies, which may differ from this Privacy Policy;
(iii) to any acquiring entity in connection with any sale, merger, consolidation, change
in control, transfer of substantial assets, reorganization, or liquidation of Company;

of their respective members, officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, co-
branders, content licensors, suppliers, contractors, attorneys, and other partners, such as
to enforce or apply this Privacy Policy, the Terms and Conditions, and other applicable
Company agreements and policies; and/or
(vi) to protect the rights, property, or safety of you or others (e.g., by exchanging
information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection purposes, by
providing information to law enforcement where we believe the Site is being or has been
used to commit unlawful acts).
