How Does GambleShark Collect
Information?
Your IP Address
Your
IP address is a unique identifier we use to help diagnose
problems with our server and to administer our Website
tracking. We also use your IP address to help identify you,
and to gather broad, demographic information.
Cookies
GambleShark uses a feature on your
Internet Web browser called a "cookie." A cookie is a small
piece of information stored on your hard drive. It assigns a
unique identification number to your computer and helps us
maintain your preferences between visits to provide a
personalized experience for you.
GambleShark uses
cookies to tell us whether or not you have visited our Website
before. We also collect non-personally identifiable
information, such as anonymous session numbers, with them.
What About Personal Information? Do
You Collect That?
GambleShark does not
house or collect any personal information about you unless you
knowingly and willingly provide it.
Membership Registration
GambleShark has a registration
process through which you voluntarily sign up to access the
members-only features of our Website. During the registration
process, we ask for your name, email address, how you got to
know us, your age range and your ZIP code. Also, to make sure
that nobody else can access our members-only features using
your name or identity, we ask that you create a unique
username with a password.
Newsletter Subscription
When you subscribe to our
FREE newsletters, we ask for an email address to send them to.
You may opt out of receiving future mailings or cancel your
subscription(s) at any time. (See the subscribe/unsubscribe
section below.)
Contests and Promotions
When you enter a contest
or take part in a promotion, we may ask for your name, mailing
address and email address. Should a third party sponsor the
contest or promotion, that party will have access to this
information. We need this information in order to notify our
winners and, when applicable, ship the winners' prizes.
Does GambleShark
Ever Share Information with Other
