PRIVACY POLICY FOR INTUWIN.COM/SCRATCH

Welcome to the Intuwin.com/Scratch ("We," "Us," "Our") website ("site"), property of Intuwin LLC. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") covers how We use and treat information collected and received through the use of this site and/or the Sweepstakes by users ("You"). Upon reading this Policy, You will know what this site's privacy practices are, including:

  1. What personally identifiable information is collected from You through Your use of this site and how this is done;
  2. Who collects Your information;
  3. How Your information will be used;
  4. With whom the information may be shared or disseminated, under what circumstances this can occur, and what type of information is shared;
  5. The type of security measures that are in place, if any, to protect against the loss, misuse, or unintentional destruction of Your information;
  6. How You can access and correct any inaccuracies in the information provided by You, when appropriate; and
  7. Who to contact if You have any questions regarding this Policy and Our practices regarding the collection and use of Your information.
  1. General Privacy Considerations

    As a general matter, We take reasonable precautions to protect Your privacy, when appropriate, depending upon the information to be protected. We cannot and do not, however, guarantee absolute privacy. This Policy only applies to information that We collect from this site and does not apply to information that We may collect in any other forums or by other methods. This Policy also does not apply to any other websites for which We may provide links. Please consult the appropriate policy of that site if You have any questions about its privacy practices.
  2. What Information We Collect and How We Do It

    Information can generally be collected in two ways: (1) Information that is knowingly and voluntarily input and sent by You; and (2) information that is collected automatically. Mere use and viewing of this site does not require You to input any "personally identifiable information" in response to particular prompts or fields. If, however, You decide to use the features on this site and enter the Sweepstakes, You will be required to input certain "personally identifiable information" at various times. In addition, as described below, this site automatically collects some information from You when You use it. We use the term "personally identifiable information" to mean any type of information that could be used to identify or be readily associated with You, the user of this site. Examples of personally identifiable information include, but are not limited to, Your name, address, telephone number, gender, date of birth, and e-mail address, or any combination thereof.
    1. Information Provided Voluntarily

      There are several ways whereby You can provide information voluntarily. For example, when You register to use this site or collect Your Sweepstakes prize, You will be required to provide certain data to Us in response to particular fields. This could include information such as: Your name, address, gender, date of birth, e-mail address, phone number, and other data. If You do not provide this information, or fail to provide current, accurate, and truthful information, You may be unable to use this site effectively and/or collect any Sweepstakes prize to which You may be entitled.

      If You use this site to provide “Scratch Cards” or Scratch Card links to others via e-mail who then enter the Sweepstakes, We do not collect and store these e-mail addresses. If, however, a recipient of your e-mail enters the Sweepstakes, wins, and collects a prize, or otherwise decides to use Our site, We would obtain that individual’s personally identifiable information when he/she registers at Our site.

      The transmission of an e-mail or other communication voluntarily initiated by You to Us can also transmit personally identifiable information about You. For example, if You include Your name, telephone number, and other information somewhere in the body of the e-mail (or in an attachment), this information is personally identifiable. It is no different then sending a letter to someone which contains this information. You should not send personally identifiable information via unencrypted e-mail, particularly information which You deem to be sensitive or confidential. Also, even if You do not provide any personally identifiable information in Your e-mail, Your e-mail address itself may contain personally identifiable information in certain instances, i.e., “JohnDSmith@Yahoo.com” versus “JDS@Yahoo.com.”
    2. Information Collected Automatically

      The automatic collection of information refers to information collected from You that does not require You to intentionally provide information in response to particular prompts or fields. For example, a site can use "cookies." A cookie is a small text file placed automatically on Your computer's web browser that is used to recognize users who have previously visited the site. The information in the cookie is transmitted back to the website's computer. In general, these cookies are either persistent, and may reside and be stored on Your computer after You last accessed the site (or until You delete or otherwise dispose of them), or temporary.

      A site may use temporary cookies called "session cookies," which are stored for a single user session with the site and are deleted as soon as the user's browser is shut down. We may use, and reserve the right to use, persistent cookies on Our site to store Your user credentials. We may also use cookies when You log-in so You can access other portions of Our site. In many instances, You may not be aware that a cookie is being placed on Your computer. If You want to know when this occurs or prevent it from happening, You can adjust the settings on Your web browser. Please be aware, however, that blocking the use of cookies could affect Your ability to use this site.

      We automatically collect Your "internet protocol" ("IP") address. An IP address is a unique series of numbers that identifies each computer connected to the internet. An IP address can be used to provide information such as the date and time of a user's visit, the availability of requested files, the popularity of various site functions, and the amount of information transmitted to each user from a site. Presently, We use Your IP address to address the frequency of Your visits to this site and to determine the frequency with which certain pages and functions of the site are accessed. This will allow Us to improve the site's functionality and to determine which features generate the most interest. As a particular computer is identified, rather than identifying a particular user, no personally identifiable information is disclosed.

      We will not routinely attempt to match Your particular IP address to any personally identifiable information that You may provide to Us on Your own, except in certain situations. For example, in instances where We, in Our sole discretion, suspect or determine that the site is being used for any unacceptable, inappropriate, or illegal purposes, information relating to Your use of this site may be disclosed to other parties as We deem appropriate. Such information may also be disclosed pursuant to any authorized law enforcement investigation, regardless of whether it was initiated by Us or by another party, or through other authorized legal process initiated by a third party.
  3. Who Collects Your Information

    As noted above, We collect certain information from You. However, as noted in Section 8, We use a third party service provider, Media Temple, to host and administer Our site. All information provided by You to Us is processed by Media Temple and stored, in large part, in its servers and on other media. While Media Temple does not solicit this information from You, it does passively collect Your information due to its hosting activities and may, in certain circumstances, disclose and make use of it. Please see Section 8 for more information.
  4. How We Use and/or Disseminate Your Personally Identifiable Information

    We may, in Our sole discretion, sell, license, or allow access to certain personally identifiable information We collect from You when using this site and/or entering the Sweepstakes to one or more third parties who may then use it for their own purposes. Also, once personally identifiable information is collected through Your use of this site, regardless of how often You use it, We will make certain uses of it for Our own internal, administrative, and promotional purposes. In addition, as stated in Our Official Rules, We may use some of Your information for publicity purposes if you are a winner of any prize in the Sweepstakes.

    As stated in more detail in the Terms and Conditions of Use ("TCU"), it is Your responsibility to ensure that You use this site responsibly and in accordance with Our Unacceptable Use and Content Policy ("Use and Content Policy") in the TCU. If We receive a complaint or otherwise learn that You are using the site inappropriately or posting content in violation of the Use and Content Policy, whether intentionally or not, We may access Your personally identifiable and other information to determine, in Our sole discretion, the validity and substance of such a complaint.

    If We, in Our sole discretion, deem the complaint to have merit or if it requires further investigation, personally identifiable information relating to Your use of this site may be disclosed to other parties as We deem appropriate. Such information may also be disclosed pursuant to any authorized law enforcement investigation or other legal process, regardless of whether it was initiated by Us or another party. For example, if We receive a subpoena or court order, We may be required to disclose the information. We may also take other remedial actions with respect to Your use or content, as described in the TCU. We may also access Your information if You contact Us and give Us permission to do so.

    If You contact Us via e-mail or letter regarding the site and We are not the appropriate party regarding the subject of Your inquiry, We may, in Our sole discretion, forward and disclose Your communication to the appropriate party for the matters referred to therein. This could include Our service provider, for example.
  5. Web Site Security

    We do not use encryption in any area of this site. Certain areas of this site, however, are only accessible by password and are not available to the general public. You are responsible for selecting and maintaining the confidentiality of Your password and account information. Sharing of Your password and account information is at Your own risk.
  6. Accessing Your Information

    If You provide personally identifiable information to Us and the information is incorrect or needs to be updated, You will need to re-register at Our site. Please note, however, that if You re-register, any incorrect or outdated information will remain on Our system.
  7. Children's Information

    We do not actively market, target, or direct Our efforts to, or knowingly collect personally identifiable information from, children under the age of thirteen (13) years.
  8. Third Party Service Providers

    As stated in Section 3, We contract with a third party service provider, Media Temple, to host this site. We provide third party service providers with Our information so that it may perform its services according to the terms of Our agreement with them. We do not purposely or knowingly disclose Your personally identifiable information to third party service providers unless We are required to do so. Media Temple, however, may also have access to Your personally identifiable information and may disclose it to third parties in certain circumstances. We do not control and are not responsible for Media Temple's conduct and for any disclosures that it may make. If You have any questions about Media Temple’s privacy practices, You may contact the company through its website: www.MediaTemple.net. Please note that by visiting the Media Temple site, a persistent or temporary cookie may be placed on Your web browser which could be used to analyze Your usage of that particular site.
  9. Policy Revisions

    You will be notified via Our website if this Policy is amended or modified. Any use of the site after the date of notification shall be deemed acceptance of the amended or modified Policy and all terms and conditions therein, whether it relates to Your personally identifiable information or not.
