What Personally Identifiable Information of yours is collected

Information collected online is often defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable:

• "Anonymous Information" refers to information that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. For instance, we may know that 10,000 people visit this Privacy Policy today, but we do not necessarily know their names, where they live, or their date of birth.
• "Personally Identifiable Information" or "PII" refers to information that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name, phone number, or postal address.

The amount of Personally Identifiable Information that you choose to disclose to us is completely up to you. In our effort to provide personalization, we may at times ask you to submit information such as your name or email address, or to share your interests and hobbies with us. The type of information may include:

• Information you provide when registering to receive goods or services from one or more of our partners.
• Information you provide when entering into a contest, sweepstakes or promotion sponsored by VinnsWorld and/or one of our partners.
• Information you provide when filling out a user survey.
• Information you provide if you contact customer service.
• Data related to the areas of VinnsWorld that you visit and how often you visit those areas. This includes co-branded sections of VinnsWorld that are part of our overall service.

You never have to answer any questions, and you can decline this exchange of information at any time. However, if you should choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with some of the services dependent upon the collection of this information.
When you surf the Internet, your Internet browser (such as Netscape Navigator(r) or Microsoft Internet Explorer) automatically transmits some information to VinnsWorld every time you access content on one of our websites. Examples of such information include the URL of the Web page you were just on (known as the "Refer"), the IP (or Internet Protocol) address of the computer you are using, or the browser version you are using to access our website. All of this information may be collected by VinnsWorld and used to help improve our offerings to you.

We use third-party advertising cookies to serve some of the ads that appear when you visit our Website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Websites to provide advertisements about goods or services that may be of interest to you.

How the information is used

We use the personal information you supply us, to enhance our services, fulfill your requests for products, programs, or services, personalize your experience and provide you or permit others to provide you with special offers we think you will find valuable. We also use other information obtained from user website traffic patterns to better provide you with a personalized experience and special advertising offers and promotions. We view personalized advertising as beneficial to our users.

VinnsWorld uses the information described above to do, among other things, the following:

• Send PII about VinnsWorld and its website features, prizes and special offers, unless you have opted out of receiving these types of communications.
• Send you advertising from third parties including selected and trusted VinnsWorld partners, unless you have opted out of receiving these types of communications.
• Provide your PII to selected third parties unless you have opted not to permit such sharing.
• Provide you with advertising and other promotional offers that we believe will be of interest to you.
• Contact users for feedback regarding VinnsWorld and VinnsWorld's partners via email surveys.

Unless you have opted out of receiving special offers, emails or other communications from selected third parties, we also may provide a report to our advertiser which tells them who responded to a particular offer. For example, we might send you an email, launch a new window within your internet browser, or send you other advertisements in electronic form which offer you a discount on a particular good or service. If you click on that e-mail or advertisement or accept an offer or discount contained therein, we may provide the advertiser with the information necessary to provide you with that discount or offer.

VinnsWorld may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information to appropriate governmental authorities. If requested by law enforcement or judicial authorities, we will provide this information upon receipt of the appropriate documentation. VinnsWorld may also provide information to law enforcement to protect its property and the health and safety of individual as permitted by statute.

Other companies that place advertising on our website may collect information about you when you view or click on their advertising or content through the use of cookies (using the same techniques as described above). Due to the way the Internet technically operates, we cannot control this collection of information. As the consumer you should contact these advertisers or content providers that place information on the VinnsWorld Website directly if you have any questions about their use of the information they potentially collect.

Information that you provide while using products such as VinnsWorld Chat is available for all to see. Discretion should be used in entering Personally Identifiable Information within such forums, as it may be collected by third parties. It is potentially available for distribution to third parties - most obviously law-enforcement agencies acting under subpoena power, per the terms of this section of our Privacy Policy.

With whom the information may be shared

In general, VinnsWorld does not disclose your personally identifiable information to any third party without first providing you with an opportunity to opt out, except in special situations described below, such as to comply with the law or administer the website. Unless you have opted out, VinnsWorld may make your personally identifiable information available to selected companies. You can elect to opt-out at anytime by selecting to do so on the VinnsWorld Home Page. You can also elect not to use certain services or participate in certain promotions if you do not want your information shared with the third parties who are sponsoring or administering such promotions. In the event of VinnsWorld being transferred or sold to another entity, VinnsWorld may transfer personally identifiable information to the acquiring entity. If, as a result of such a business transition, your personally identifiable information will be used in a materially different manner, you will be given choice consistent with our policy regarding notification of changes.

VinnsWorld may disclose your personally identifiable information if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, a subpoena, or other legal process. VinnsWorld may also disclose personally identifiable information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service or to protect the safety of our users and the public or under confidentiality agreements with certain third parties which assist us in developing, operating and maintaining Vinns.

What happens when you leave VinnsWorld to go to other websites

VinnsWorld does not control the information collection and distribution policies on Internet domains other than those internet domains that are under the control of VinnsWorld itself. When you are on the VinnsWorld Website, you may be directed to other websites that are beyond our control. For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement, the "click" may take you off the VinnsWorld Website site. These other websites may independently collect data, solicit personal information, or send their own cookies to you. VinnsWorld is not responsible for any use of the information including click-stream data, that you may create when using such third party websites.

What choices are available to you regarding collection, use, and distribution of personal information

You can always choose whether or not to disclose personally identifiable information and that choice will not prevent you from using the VinnsWorld Website. Please note, however if you should choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with some of the services dependent upon the collection of this information.

You can choose at anytime to opt out of receiving emails from VinnsWorld or from having your personally identifiable information shared with selected companies. If you want to opt out, you can do so by logging on to the VinnsWorld Home Page. If you elect to "unsubscribe" we will not, as applicable, share your personal information with third parties or send you emails. However, we may continue to use your personal information for internal purposes, to enhance your user experience or as necessary to administer the website or comply with applicable law.

We reserve the right to send a one-time registration confirmation email, and infrequent Service Alert messages to users to inform them of specific changes that may impact their ability to use a service. And finally, we also reserve the right to contact you if compelled to do so as part of a legal proceeding or if there has been a violation of our Terms of Service. VinnsWorld is retaining these rights because in limited cases we feel that we may need the right to contact you as a matter of law or regarding matters which will be important to you. These rights do not allow us to contact you to market a new or existing service if you have asked us not to do so, and issuance of these types of communications are rare.
