Personally identifiable information is only collected when you provide this information to us voluntarily. You can amend, modify, delete or access your personal information that we collect about you at any time.

Non-identifiable information includes anonymous aggregated information such as the type of browser you are using or your computer’s operating system.

Why We Collect Personal Information

We collect personal information so that you can: (i) enter contests; (ii) participate in our website activities (such as submitting and/or recording videos, participating in blogs and posting comments and opinions); and (iii) receive any newsletters or special offers when you “opt-in” to receive such information or offers.

The purpose of our collection of information is so that we can: (i) administer contests (select entrants and determine prize winners); (ii) response to your questions or comments: (iii) run chat rooms and discussion boards; and (iv) keep aggregate information on website use.

We will only keep your information for the length of time that is reasonable (for instance, so long as necessary to administer the contest in a reasonable fashion). If we have answered a question or concern appropriately, then we will destroy any personal information collected from you after dealing with your concern.
