necessary for us to share your personal

information?
If you express interest in receiving offers
or information from ellsinore.com and our
partners, we may occasionally send you
e-mail or postal mail about products and
services that we feel may be of interest to
you. Only ellsinore.com (or agents working
on behalf of ellsinore.com and under
confidentiality agreements) will send you
these direct mailings and only if you
indicated that you do not object to these
offers.
At any time you can easily unsubscribe
from ellsinore.com's mailing list and no
longer receive such offers and mailings.
On some types of ellsinore.com
promotions, we will ask for your email
address in order to update you on your
score, entries, and status in prize
drawings. When you participate in these
types of promotions, you may automatically
receive promotion-related email.
Occasionally these promotion-related email
messages may include targeted
advertisements.
You also have choices with respect to
cookies. By modifying your browser
preferences, you have the choice to accept
all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is
set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose
to reject all cookies you will be unable to
use those ellsinore.com services that
require the use of cookies in order to

ellsinore.com does not sell or rent user
information to anyone. We will notify you at
the time of data collection or transfer if
your data will be shared with a third party
and you will always have the option of not
permitting the transfer. If you do not wish
to allow your data to be shared, you can
choose not to use a particular service or
not to participate in certain promotions or
contests.
7. How does ellsinore.com protect my
personal financial information?
Keeping your personal financial information
private is vitally important to us. As with
all personal information, ellsinore.com will
never rent or sell your personal financial
information. Knowing that you use certain
services or features may help us to offer
you better and more relevant content and
advertisements. But as with all personally
identifiable information, we do not make
this available to any third parties without
your permission.
Please note that there may be places on
the ellsinore.com's Web site where
you can transmit credit card information in
order to complete a purchase transaction or
for verification purposes. Any time we ask
for a credit card number we transmit that
credit card number in an encrypted format.
We use industry-standard, SSL (secure socket
layer) encryption.
8. What security precautions are in place
to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration
of my information?
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the
Internet can be guaranteed to be 100%
secure. As a result, while we strive to
protect your personal information,
ellsinore.com cannot ensure or warrant the
security of any information you transmit to
us or from our online products or services,
and you do so at your own risk. Once we
receive your transmission, we make our best
effort to ensure its security on our
systems.
9. What about children's privacy?
Naturally, the safety of children is very
important to us. Children should always ask
a parent for permission before sending
personal information to ellsinore.com, or to
anyone online for that matter. ellsinore.com
does not share personal information about
users under the age of 18 with third parties
and we do not sell or rent personal
information about any of our users,
regardless of age. In addition,
ellsinore.com will not send any direct email
offers to users who indicate they are under
the age of 18 without first obtaining their
parents' permission.
10. What else should I know about my
privacy?
Please keep in mind that whenever you
voluntarily disclose personal information
online - for example on message boards,
through email, or in chat areas - that
information can be collected and used by
others. In short, if you post personal
information online that is accessible to the
public, you may receive unsolicited messages
from other parties in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible
for maintaining the secrecy of your
passwords and/or any registration
information. Please be careful and
responsible whenever you're online.
