We may also use it to inform you of changes to our website and services so that you can use them in the most effective manner.

Your information may use for some other purposes, including but not limited to website administration, troubleshooting, administration of any sweepstakes and contests, and other communications.  Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (e.g. our web hosting service) may access such information.  We will use your information only as permitted by law.
