WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We collect two kinds of information related to you: (a) Personally Identifiable Information
(“PII”); and (b) Non-Personally Identifiable Information (“Non-PII”).
(a) Personally Identifiable Information: PII includes any information that identifies
you as person. We collect your PII when you choose to register with us or when you
choose to participate in an interactive feature of our Sites such as a review, survey or
promotion. You may: (a) provide your name, mail/shipping address, email address, credit
card number and phone number when registering with our Sites or in connection with a
contest entry; (b) provide certain demographic information about you (e.g., age, gender,
shopping interests and preferences, etc.) when participating in a survey or poll; or (c) post
a general comment and/or recommendation on our Sites.
(b) Non-Personally Identifiable Information: Non-PII is any information that does
not identify you as a person including PII which has been rendered anonymous. We obtain
non-PII either separately or together with your PII as described above. We collect certain
non-PII from you when you access our Sites including IP addresses and information relating
to your browser, operating system, ISP, the third party website from which your visit
originated and how you use our Sites such as the web pages you visit, and the duration of
your visits.
II.
HOW WE USE & SHARE THE INFORMATION COLLECTED
PII and Non-PII is used to provide, or improve, our Sites and Services to you and to carry
out your requests, respond to your inquiries, better serve you and understand your needs,
or is used in other ways naturally associated with the circumstances in which you provided
the information.
We may disclose PII and Non-PII to:
(1) our third party service providers who perform functions on our behalf in
connection with the operation of the Sites or Services e.g., providers who host and
manage data, process credit card orders, deliver our merchandise, etc;
(2) participating sponsors to a program or promotion you enter through our Sites or
Services;
(3)our parent company, subsidiaries or other affiliated companies (“ affiliated
companies”) for operational, marketing and promotional purposes;
(4) co-promotional partners and others with whom we have marketing or other
relationships ;
(5) participating merchants where you consent at the time you submit PII to us
when using the interactive features of our Sites such as surveys and reviews
concerning our participating merchants; and
(6) our other users where you choose to publicly post reviews, comments or other
information relating to products or services, communicate with other users via public
forums (e.g., forums, message boards, bulletin boards, etc.).
In addition, we use non-PII to help analyze site traffic, understand customer needs and
trends, carry out targeted promotional activities (see “Preference Based Advertising”
below). We may use your non-PII by itself or aggregate it with information we have
obtained from others to produce research reports and other information and data about
online shopping for participating merchants and other customers, as well as media and
other interested parties.
III.
COOKIES AND PREFERENCE BASED ADVERTISING
(a) Cookies and Web Beacons: We and the third parties we authorize automatically
receive and store certain types of non-PII whenever you interact with us by using “cookies”
and analogous technology. “Cookies” are small files that are placed on your computer or
your internet browser memory to enable the owner of the cookie to recognize your browser
and to provide convenience and other features to you. So, for example, our cookies may
allow us to show you the past products you have searched for on our Sites. It is important
to note that the cookies that we use, or permit others to use, do not contain and
are not tied to PII about you.
You may be able to direct your internet browser not to allow cookies and you can typically
delete existing cookies from your computer at any time. Please note, however, some
elements of our Sites will not function properly or be available to you.
(b) Preference Based Advertising: We also work with and permit certain third
parties, including advertising networks and website analysis firms, to place cookies on
your computer/browser when you visit our Sites. These third party cookies are used to
gather non-PII about your activities on our Sites and third party sites to serve you with
advertisements while you are on third party sites (“Third-Party Ads”). If you do not wish to
participate in this activity, please click here and email us to opt-out
Some important notes: (1) the opt-out tools for Third-Party Ads include all the advertising
networks that Build My Buzz works with, but also many that Build My Buzz does
not work with; (2) opting out of Our Ads does not automatically serve as an opt-out from
Third-Party Ads – the same is true the other way around. To opt-out of Our Ads and Third-
Party Ads, you must use each respective opt-out tool above; (3) the opt-out tools for both
Our Ads and Third-Party Ads rely on cookies to ensure that your non-PII is not used for
online advertising purposes (“Opt-out Cookies”). Therefore, i f you buy a new computer,
change web browsers or delete these Opt-out Cookies from your computer, you will need
to perform the relevant opt-out tasks again; and (4) the features of your internet browser
and/or certain add-on software may allow you to block or limit the use of cookies for
preference based advertising and other purposes. We cannot, however, promise that our
Sites will work well or be compatible with these alternative methods of blocking or limiting
the use of cookies.

technology to protect your data. Please be advised, however, that while we strive
to protect your PII, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information
you disclose or transmit to us online and are not responsible for the theft, destruction,
or inadvertent disclosure of your PII. In the unfortunate event that your personally
identifiable information is compromised, we will notify you by e-mail to the last e-mail
address you have provided us as soon as feasible under the circumstances (delays in
notification may occur while we take necessary measures to determine the scope of the
breach and restore reasonable integrity to the system, as well as for the legitimate needs of
law enforcement if notification would impede a criminal investigation.)
