If you Send us an e-mail: You may choose to provide us with Personal Information when you communicate with us by e-mail or within a Site with a comment or question. In these cases, we use the Personal Information you provide to respond to your request and/or improve our service to you.
If You sign up or Participate in Site Surveys: A Site may offer you the option to add your name and e-mail address to a distribution list for information about new products and services, special offers, and other marketing opportunities. A Site may also require your comments or offer opportunities to participate in surveys and questionnaires from time to time. We use the information you provide in surveys and questionnaires to help us design and build better products, customize your experience, and provide advice and purchase recommendations. We will not add your name and e-mail address to such a list or require you to participate in surveys and questionnaires unless you affirmatively or voluntarily permit us to do so. If you choose to be added to a distribution, you may remove your name and e-mail address at any time as described for that particular distribution.
Research Data: For certain Sites, we may conduct research on the demographics, interests, and behavior of our users based on information you provided us from surveys, questionnaires, and/or from our server log files. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed in aggregated form to avoid identifying personal information related to any individual.
To review invitation e-mails: We may contact you by e-mail to invite you to review any services and/or products you have received from us to collect your comments to improve our services and products (the “Purpose”).
