19. How We Use Information
The personal information you provide is used to customise your Programme experience. For example, we can offer the Point-earning opportunities that best fit the profile of each member. We will use your information to provide you with suitable opportunities to earn Points on the web site and through specific Big Blue Publishing email offers and also for the internal administration of your account. Information is also used to fulfil Point spending requests.
We may do research and provide reports on our users' demographics, interests and behaviour based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion or from surveys. This research only relates to groups in general and will never identify you individually. We may share these general statistics with advertisers or partners to enable them to better provide offers to members in their areas of interest.
We may for storage and aggregation purposes need to send your personal information internationally, including to countries outside the European Economic Area. For example, your information may be stored in a Big Blue Publishing computer centre in the USA. However, any information stored outside the UK will not be disclosed to any other party.

20. How We Share Information
We do not sell or rent your information to anyone. Your personal information will not be released to any third party without your express permission except in special circumstances such as when the law requires it or under the circumstances described below.
In order to provide you with a wide choice of Point-earning and Point-spending opportunities, it is necessary for us to share some of your personal information with partner companies. Partner companies participating in the Programme may require certain limited information to ensure that a Point transaction is appropriately reflected in your account.
Partner companies may also collect additional information through surveys and forms for their own marketing purposes. When you provide information while visiting partner sites, it's the partner site that collects your personal information. The information practices of these partner companies, advertisers and web sites linked to Big Blue Publishing Programme are not covered by this privacy policy. Please note that the privacy policies of partner sites may differ from those of the Programme.
We may share our group statistical research and reports with advertisers or partners (see point 19 - How We Use Information).
Occasionally, third parties are utilised for the purpose of data verification and supplementation. For example, we may check that members are living at the address they give by verifying the information provided by members against information available for that purpose from other sources (e.g. electoral rolls). We may, also, target offers to you by comparing your information with other statistics to determine whether an offer is likely to be relevant to you. When third parties are employed for these purposes, the confidentiality of your personal information is maintained in strict conformity with this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Such third parties will agree to maintain the confidentiality and protection of your personal information, at all times during and after providing services.

The information requested from members includes basic contact information (name, address, email), general statistics (age, gender) and various interests and preferences (fashion, restaurants, travel, etc.).
When you log on to the web site, our server automatically recognizes you by a "cookie." This ensures that only you can access your own personal information. It also allows us to accurately credit your account with Points and directs you to earning and spending opportunities that are most relevant to your interests. No information about your visit to our site or any other participating sites is ever stored.

- the referrer (where you came from)
- the requested document (the page you're looking at)
- your browser type (e.g. Netscape 4.0)
- platform-dependent information (e.g. Win 95)
None of this information is stored on any individual who does not register.
How We Use Information
The information provided is used to customise the experience of each member. For example, we can offer the Point-earning opportunities that best fit the profile of each member.

Companies participating in the Programme may collect and use information to ensure that a Point transaction is appropriately reflected in your account. These companies may also collect additional information through surveys and forms for their own marketing purposes.

Your personal information will not be released to any third party without your express permission. For example, a member may request his or her name and address be provided to an advertiser in order to facilitate an order placed through the Programme.
Other data shared with advertisers is in anonymous group statistical form only. This allows advertisers to participate more effectively in the system by providing offers targeted to the interests of our various member groups. For example, an advertiser may be notified that 10,000 members have expressed an interest in receiving offers relating to windsurfing.
Third Party Data Practices
Occasionally, third parties are utilised for the purpose of data verification and supplementation. Example: We may receive census data files in order to determine the percentage of residents in a select area who own their own homes. We employ these processes to provide members with offers and content that best meets their specific interests. When third parties are employed for such purposes, confidentiality of members' personal information is maintained in strict conformity with the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
