All Idaho collects information in several ways.

Some personal information is gathered when you register. During registration, All Idaho asks for your name, email address, birth date, gender, zip code, occupation and personal information. 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 All Idaho - you are given a user ID and are able to take full advantage of All Idaho's... features. 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 All Idaho and/or any partners; when you make a purchase using All Idaho; when you sign up for a web site; and when you report a problem with one of our sites or services. If you contact All Idaho we may keep a record of that correspondence. All Idaho also occasionally asks users to complete surveys that we use for research purposes. Wherever All Idaho collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.

What are cookies and how does All Idaho use them?

As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, All Idaho 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 All Idaho 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) Estimate our audience size. Each browser accessing All Idaho 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.
(2) Track your progress and number of entries in some of our promotions, sweepstakes and contests. When a All Idaho-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.
(3) Measure certain traffic patterns, which areas of All Idaho's site 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 All Idaho a better one. We may use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you and other users may see on our site.

How does All Idaho use my information?

All Idaho'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, All Idaho is able to deliver more relevant advertisements and content, and hence better service, to you. In our role of delivering targeted advertisements, All Idaho plays the middleman. Advertisers give us an advertisement and tell us the type of audience they want to reach (for example, males over 35 years old). All Idaho takes the advertisement and displays it to users meeting that criteria. In this process, the advertiser never has access to individual account information. Only All Idaho has access to individuals' accounts. This kind of advertisement targeting is done with banner ads, if ever. You will only receive special offers via email from All Idaho if you have indicated in your account preferences that you would like to receive them. You can change your account preferences at any time.

All Idaho 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. All Idaho may share this aggregated data with advertisers or business partners.

Who is collecting information?

When you are on a All Idaho site and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with All Idaho alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise. If data is being collected and/or maintained by any company other than All Idaho, 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 All Idaho may be sponsored by companies other than All Idaho or may be cosponsored by All Idaho 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. Please be aware that All Idaho 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 All Idaho are not covered by this privacy statement.

With whom does All Idaho share my information?

As a general rule, All Idaho 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. The following describes some of the ways that your information may be disclosed.

Business Partners & Sponsors: All Idaho may disclose your personal information to business partners or sponsors, but this is specifically described to you prior to data collection or prior to transferring the data. Details of shared use can be found in specific Terms of Service or Use Agreements, and sweepstakes and promotions rules. Some or all data collected during a All Idaho promotion may be shared with a sponsor. If personally identifying data about you will be shared, we will tell you before we collect or transfer the data. Many promotions offer opportunities to request additional information from sponsors. By requesting more information, you give All Idaho permission to transfer your personal information to the sponsor so they can fulfill your request. 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.

What are my choices regarding collection, use, and distribution of my information?

All Idaho may, from time to time, send you email regarding our products and services. In addition, if you indicated upon registration that you are interested in receiving offers or information from All Idaho and our partners, we may occasionally send you direct mail about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. Only All Idaho 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 All Idaho Account Information to no longer receive such offers and mailings. You will need your All Idaho ID and Password in order to access your All Idaho Account Information.

On some types of All Idaho 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 automatically receive promotion-related email, unless you choose the no-email option that some promotions offer. 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 All Idaho services that require registration in order to participate.
