PHILIPPINES Activities
and Updates
We use e-mail addresses to fulfill requests for services. Mailing
addresses are used only for delivery of prizes. Occasionally,
we share your personal information (e.g., e-mail address) with
a third party sponsor, co-sponsor, or other reputable third
party that provides products or services that may be of interest
to you |
| Operational
Uses |
|
We
may also use your personal information for
other purposes such as "Operational
Uses." For example, we may use your
information to send you administrative communications
either about your account with us or about
features of our website, including any changes
to this Privacy Policy.
We occasionally employ other companies to perform services
necessary to our internal operations. For example, we
have partnered with other companies to personalize our
web pages, process credit card transactions, analyze
customers' interaction with our website, and process
consumer surveys. We also provide
postal addresses to the various courier services for
delivery purposes. While providing their services,
these companies may access your personally identifying
information. These companies have agreed to securely
store and maintain the personal information received
from us. |
|
| Aggregate
Information |
|
| Finally,
we may take your personally identifiable
information and make it non-personally identifiable.
We do this either by combining it with information
about other individuals (aggregating your
information with information about other
individuals), or by removing characteristics
(e.g., your name) that make the information
personally identifiable to you. This process
is known as de-personalizing your information.
Given the non-personal nature of this information,
no restrictions apply under this Privacy
Policy on our right to de-personalize your
personal information. We may use de-personalized
information in any way and share it with
third parties without your consent. |
|
| Business
Information |
|
| For
practical reasons, we treat personal information
submitted to us in a business capacity different
from information we receive in a non-business
capacity. Personal information submitted
to us in a business capacity (e.g. resumes,
event sponsorship, etc.) may be shared with
third parties, depending on the nature of
the inquiry. |
|
| Purchase
or Sale of Businesses |
|
From
time to time, we may purchase a business
or sell one or more of our businesses and
your personally identifiable information
may be transferred as a part of the purchase
or sale. If we purchase a
business, the personally identifiable information received
with that business would be treated in
accordance with this Privacy Policy, if it is practicable
and permissible to do so. If we sell a business, we will
include provisions in the selling contract requiring
the purchaser to treat your personally identifiable information
in the same way required by this Privacy Policy (including
any amendments to this Privacy Policy). The provisions
of this paragraph will also apply if we are sold as part
of bankruptcy proceedings.
Disclosures Required By Law and Disclosures to Help Protect
the Security and Safety of Our Website and Others
We will disclose personal information when we believe
in good faith that disclosure is required by law (e.g.,
court order or subpoena) or help enforce:
- our Terms of Use, contest, sweepstakes, promotions,
or game rules;
- protect your safety or security, including the safety
and security of your property; or
- protect the safety and security of our website or third
parties. |

technical, administrative, and physical security

methods. But, despite our best efforts, no security
measure is ever perfect or impenetrable. |
