4. Types of Data We Collect. "Personal Data" means data that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data. "Deidentified Data" means data that cannot reasonably identify, relate to, describe, be capable of being associated with, or be linked, directly or indirectly, to a particular consumer. Deidentified Data does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual persons. We collect Personal Data and Deidentified Data, as described below.

4.1. Information You Provide to Us.

• We may collect Personal Data from you, such as your first and last name, e-mail address, and password when you create an account to log in to our network (" Account ").
• If you use our Services on your mobile device we may collect your phone number and the unique device id number.
• If you tell us where you are (e.g., by allowing your mobile device to send us your location), we may store and use that information to provide you with location-based information and advertising. If you want to deactivate this feature, you can disable on your mobile device the ability of our Services to receive location-based information.
• Certain Services may require our collection of your phone number. We may associate that phone number with your mobile device identification information.
• When you order products or services through our Services, we will collect all information necessary to complete the transaction, including your name, credit card information, billing information and shipping information. When you submit credit card numbers, we encrypt that information using industry standard technology.

• If you participate in a sweepstakes, contest or giveaway offered via our Services, we may ask you for your e-mail address and/or telephone number (e.g., to notify you if you’ve won, comply with relevant law, etc.). We may also ask for first and last names, and sometimes post office addresses to verify your identity. In some situations we may need additional information as a part of the entry process, such as a prize selection choice. These sweepstakes and contests are voluntary. You should read the rules for each sweepstakes and contest that you enter.

By proceeding, you are allowing the Services to access your information and you are agreeing to Facebook’s or other SNS’s Terms of Use in your use of the Services. Conversely, if you are not currently registered as a user of the Services, and you click on "Sign in" using Facebook or another SNS that we support, you will first be asked to enter your Facebook or SNS credentials and then be given the option to register for the Services. In this case, we may receive information from Facebook or another SNS to make it easier for you to create an Account with us and show our relevant content to your Facebook or SNS friends. Once you register with us and connect with Facebook or another SNS, you will be able to automatically post recent activity back to Facebook or the other SNS.

Your rights in connection with personal data.
