1. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Personally identifiable information or personal information is defined as information that identifies you, as an individual, and includes your name, home address, home telephone number, and e-mail address.

We only collect personally identifiable information about you after you have specifically and knowingly provided such information to us. By voluntarily providing this information to us at various points when using our Site, including, sending us a comment or suggestion, entering a chatroom or bulletin board, or entering a contest that is posted on our Site, you will be consenting to the collection and use of your personal information by us for that online activity. You are under no obligation to provide us with this information and can access many aspects of the Site without providing us any personal information.

2. THE PURPOSE OF OUR COLLECTING INFORMATION FROM YOU

If you participate in an online activity, your personal information will only be used for the purposes of that online activity, unless you otherwise provide us with your consent. For example, we will collect and use personal information for the following purposes:

  • To process Dream Home ticket sales.
  • To respond to your questions, or comments you forward to us.
  • To run chatrooms, bulletin boards or other areas of interaction with other members.
  • To keep aggregate information on Site use.

3. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will not sell or rent your personal information to any other party without your consent. However, we may disclose your personal information in the circumstances set out below.

If you have purchased a Dream Home Ticket, your name and city of residence may be published by us or one of the sponsors. Please check the lottery rules for details.

We may also be required by law to disclose personal information without your consent in the event of emergency situations or when required by government or other legal authority.

Please be advised that when you voluntarily disclose information on the bulletin boards or in the forum or chat areas of our Site, your personal and other information disclosed in your communication shall become public information and can be collected and used by other parties. We cannot control what third parties in the bulletin board or chatroom do with your personal information.

This information includes; your IP address, a number automatically assigned your computer when you visit the Site; your Internet Service Provider; and your Web Browser.

One way we use this non-personal information is as a diagnostic and administrative tool for identifying system problems and administering the Site. From time to time we use cookies on this Site. Cookies are small text files that your web browser leaves on your hard drive to recognize you as a repeat user of our Site. If you do not want cookies to be used, you should adjust your web browsers security settings.

We collect personal and non-personal information in a non-identifying, anonymous and aggregate form to enhance our Site design, to share with advertisers and for statistical purposes. These statistics and reports will contain only aggregated and no personally identifiable information.
