an e-commerce partner in the case of a Purchase. If

third parties who provide certain services such as processing of credit

otherwise

requirements
of you, including, except where prohibited by law, allowing the
sponsor(s) of
the promotion to use your name, voice or likeness in advertising or
marketing
associated with the promotion. If
you make a
purchase or enter a promotion (such as a sweepstakes) in which COMPANY
is
participating on a third party's website (or through some other means
or
medium), we will collect your information from the third party only if
you opt-in
to receive additional communications from us, or we are required to
fulfill
some function in relation to your activity (e.g., to send your order or
deliver
a prize). If

these cases, the COMPANY will apply this policy to any personally
identifiable
information. VII. Information About

information

information
of a friend, or your friend provides personally identifiable

advertising, limiting multiple responses and registrations,
facilitating your

your browser instructions, "Help" screen, or similar such resource to

provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling

and
invisible to the user, but, in general, any electronic image viewed as

the
Website or to monitor how our users navigate the Website, and the

will not knowingly collect, maintain, or disclose any personally
identifiable
information from a child under 13 without first obtaining consent from
that

submitted his or her personally identifiable information without your
permission or consent, COMPANY will make reasonable efforts to remove
the

stated
above in “Personally
Identifiable Information That We Collect - Special Promotions and

later decide that you do not want that third party to use your
