Registration
Anyone who participates in Scoring Drive will be asked to register
for a Username and Password. We use customer contact information from this
registration form to send the user information about our company and
promotional material from some of our partners. The customer's contact
information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary for customer
service reasons. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out

We use your IP address to help diagnose
problems with our server, and to administer our Web site.
Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that certain
Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain
information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've
visited. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information
you supply yourself. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to
the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site.
A cookie can't read data off your hard disk
or read cookie files created by other sites. This random number lets us keep
track of "how many" times customers are doing specific things - like
visiting our site each month - without really knowing who those customers are.
After you've entered your member ID and password during a session on our
service, we save that information so you don't have to re-enter it repeatedly
during that session
Users should be aware that Scoring Drive cannot control the use of
cookies or the resulting information by third parties hosting data for Scoring Drive. If a
user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a
simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the
cookie feature; however, users should note that cookies may be necessary to
provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized delivery of
information) available on Scoring
Drive.
Our registration form will also ask visitors for
their email address and demographic information. Demographic and profile data
is also collected at our site. We use this data to tailor our visitor's
experience at our site, showing them content and promotional offers that we
think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to
their preferences.
We may use contact data from our surveys to
send the user information about our company and promotional material from Scoring Drive or
some of our partners. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the
choice/opt-out section below
We use contact data from Scoring Drive to send users information

which a third party sponsor will host a contest and collect user information.
In those cases, we urge users to review the privacy statement of the third
party site. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the

Use of Information
All of the information we collect, both what
you tell us and what we collect through the use of cookies, is
"aggregated" - meaning that the information from many users is
grouped together in a way that does not disclose the personal information of
any particular user. We may use this aggregated information to evaluate which
products and services are successful and which ones are not, and in order to
evaluate which new services we should make available on our Web site. Scoring
Drive will not disclose any information about any individual user except to
comply with applicable law or valid legal process.
There may be cases in which some of your
personal information may be used by Scoring
Drive to target e-commerce promotions and
telemarketing activities. In addition, it may be shared with third parties who
assist Scoring Drive in producing its Web sites or provide a service to Scoring
Drive' users
