In addition, USA Prizes™ reserves the right to release current or past member information in the event USA Prizes™ 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 USA Prizes™ is sold or acquired, or when USA Prizes™ 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 USA Prizes™, in its sole discretion, determines the disclosure to be appropriate. To the extent that customer credit card-specific information is collected by USA Prizes™ 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, USA Prizes™ 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.

USA Prizes™ does not endorse, nor is USA Prizes™ responsible for the accuracy of, the Privacy Policies and/or Terms and Conditions of each of the Advertisers on the USA Prizes™ Website.

USA Prizes™ delivers to your web browser many of the advertisements you see when you use the Website. However, USA Prizes™ 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 USA Prizes™ 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, USA Prizes™ only authorizes our third-party ad servers to employ anonymous cookies for ad delivery and anonymous targeting. To USA Prizes's knowledge, the third-party ad servers do not collect, nor does USA Prizes™ give them access, to any personally identifying information about you. In addition, USA Prizes™ uses third-party service provider partners to employ anonymous cookies for accounting and data integrity purposes.

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

Currently, we have relationships with the following third party service providers 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 and/or third-party service providers in the future.
