CoastClick.Com collects information in several ways from different parts of our network of web sites.
Some personal information is gathered when you register. During registration, CoastClick.Com asks for your name, email address, physical address and zip code. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to customize your experience. Once you register you are no longer anonymous to CoastClick.Com - you are given a CoastClick.Com ID and are able to take full advantage of CoastClick.Com's many offerings.
In addition to registration we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you enter a sweepstakes, contest or promotion sponsored by CoastClick.Com and/or our many partners; when you make a purchase using CoastClick.Com Shopping; when you make lodging arrangements using CoastClick.Com Reservations; when you post a CoastClick.Com Classified ad; when you submit a listing for a web site; and when you report a problem with one of our sites or services. If you contact CoastClick.Com we may keep a record of that correspondence. CoastClick.Com also occasionally asks users to complete surveys that we use for research purposes. Wherever CoastClick.Com collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.
As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, CoastClick.Com uses cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. All sites on CoastClick.Com where you are prompted to log-in or that are customizable require that you accept cookies. (See "What are my choices regarding collection, use and distribution of my information?" for more information on cookies.)
Generally, we use cookies to:
(1) Remind us of who you are and to access your account information (stored on our computers) in order to deliver to you a better and more personalized service. This cookie is set when you register or "Sign In" and is modified when you "Sign Out" of our services. CoastClick.Com also uses cookies to store your zip code for other services, such as Yellow Pages.
(2) Estimate our audience size. Each browser accessing CoastClick.Com is given a unique cookie which is then used to determine the extent of repeat usage, usage by a registered user versus by an unregistered user, and to help target advertisements based on user interests and behavior.
(3) Assist merchants in CoastClick.Com Stores to track visits to and business at their stores, and to process the items in your shopping basket. This information collected by cookies is sometimes called "clickstream" or "click trail" and may also describe which pages you have seen in each merchant's store.
(4) Track your progress and number of entries in some of our promotions, sweepstakes and contests. When a CoastClick.Com-hosted promotion uses cookies, the information written to the cookie indicates the player's progress through the promotion, and may be used to track entries, submissions, and status in prize drawings.
(5) Measure certain traffic patterns, which areas of CoastClick.Com's network of web sites you have visited, and your visiting patterns in the aggregate. We use this research to understand how our users' habits are similar or different from one another so that we can make each new experience on CoastClick.Com a better one. We may use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you and other users will see on our sites.
Advertising networks that serve ads onto CoastClick.Com may also use their own cookies.
CoastClick.Com also collects IP addresses for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers.
CoastClick.Com's primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience on our network of sites. This includes personalization services, interactive communications, online shopping and many other types of services, most of which are completely free to you. In order to provide services free of charge, we display advertisements. By knowing a little about you, CoastClick.Com is able to deliver more relevant advertisements and content, and hence better service, to you.
CoastClick.Com does research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion, from our server log files or from surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. CoastClick.Com may share this aggregated data with advertisers or business partners.
When you are on a CoastClick.Com site and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with CoastClick.Com alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise. For example, some CoastClick.Com services, like CoastClick.Com Reservations, are offered in conjunction with a partner company. In order to provide this co-branded service to you, it is necessary for us to share your personal information with our partner company. If data is being collected and/or maintained by any company other than CoastClick.Com, you will be notified prior to the time of the data collection or transfer. If you do not want your data to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer by not using that particular service.
Promotions that run on CoastClick.Com may be sponsored by companies other than CoastClick.Com or may be cosponsored by CoastClick.Com and another company. Some or all data collected during a promotion may be shared with the sponsor. If data will be shared, you will be notified prior to the time of data collection or transfer. You can decide not to participate in the promotion if you don't want your data to be shared. Currently, most CoastClick.Com promotions are limited to US or North American residents.
Please be aware that CoastClick.Com advertisers or web sites that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of those web sites linked to CoastClick.Com are not covered by this privacy statement.
As a general rule, CoastClick.Com will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. Please see the Terms of Service or Use Agreements for each of our products and services for more detailed information about how your personal information may be shared.

Many promotions offer opportunities to request additional information from sponsors.

In many instances, only your email address will be shared. If more information will be shared with the sponsor, you will be notified prior to the transfer.

Only CoastClick.Com (or agents working on behalf of CoastClick.Com and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings and only if you indicated that you do not object to these offers. If you do not want to receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal information. Or, at any time you can easily edit your CoastClick.Com Account Information to no longer receive such offers and mailings. You will need your CoastClick.Com ID and Password in order to access your CoastClick.Com Account Information.
On some types of CoastClick.Com promotions, we will ask for your email address in order to update you on your score, entries, and status in prize drawings.

Your CoastClick.Com Account Information and CoastClick.Com Profile are password-protected so that you and only you have access to this personal information. You may edit your CoastClick.Com Account Information by using your CoastClick.Com ID and password.
We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. CoastClick.Com will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. Also remember to sign out of your CoastClick.Com account and close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.
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, CoastClick.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.
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 account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
