However, where California residents opt-out from permitting their personal information to be shared, such individuals may still receive selected offers directly from Advertiser's Reward Network™, in accordance with the law. In addition, Advertiser's Reward Network™ reserves the right to release current or past member information in the event Advertiser's Reward Network™ believes that the membership is being or has been used in violation of the Rules or to commit unlawful acts, if the information is subpoenaed, if Advertiser's Reward Network™ is sold or acquired, or when Advertiser's Reward Network™ deems it necessary or appropriate. By agreeing to these terms, you hereby consent to disclosure of any record or communication to any third party when Advertiser's Reward Network™, in its sole discretion, determines the disclosure to be appropriate. To the extent that customer credit card-specific information is collected by Advertiser's Reward Network™ and any of its affiliates and/or subsidiaries, said information will be kept in confidence and will not be shared with any third parties (other than consumer credit agencies) without the customer's prior informed consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Advertiser's Reward Network™ and its affiliates and subsidiaries reserve the right to share with third parties the fact that they have credit card information on file for specific customers but they will not share this credit card information with third parties without the customer's prior informed consent.

Advertiser's Reward Network™ shares Website usage information about visitors to our Website, who have received targeted promotional campaigns, with Advertisers for the purpose of formatting future campaigns and upgrading visitor information used in reporting statistics. For this purpose, we and our Advertisers track some of the pages that you visit on our Website through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs).

Advertiser's Reward Network™ does not endorse, nor is Advertiser's Reward Network™ responsible for the accuracy of, the Privacy Policies and/or Terms and Conditions of each of the Advertisers on the Advertiser's Reward Network™ Website. The entities which advertise and/or place banner ads on the Advertiser's Reward Network™ Website including, but not limited to, co-registration Advertisers, are independent third parties and are not affiliated with Advertiser's Reward Network™.

Advertiser's Reward Network™ delivers to your web browser many of the advertisements you see when you use the Website. However, Advertiser's Reward Network™ also allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within and/or on the Website. Because your web browser must request these advertising banners from the ad networks' servers, these companies can send their own cookies to your cookie file, just as if you had requested a web page from the Website. Please note that if an advertiser asks Advertiser's Reward Network™ to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, men ages 18-34) or audience segment (for example, men ages 13-24 who have viewed sports content) and you respond to that ad, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. However, Advertiser's Reward Network™ only authorizes our third-party ad servers to employ anonymous cookies for ad delivery and anonymous targeting. To Advertiser's Reward Network's knowledge, the third-party ad servers do not collect, nor does Advertiser's Reward Network™ give them access, to any personally identifying information about you.

If you want to prevent a third-party ad server from sending and reading cookies on your computer, currently you must visit each ad network's website individually and opt out (if they offer this capability).

Currently, we have relationships with and/or may display the following third party ad server networks (click to visit their website). In addition, we may at some point engage other third-party ad servers in the future.
