1. Information Erationalnews.com Gathers and Tracks
Erationalnews.com gathers personally identifiable and other information about users (such as name, postal address, email address, gender, date of birth, interests, other demographic information, etc.) from our Network Partners and our affiliates. This information is typically obtained by our partners' sites in connection with a user's registration on a particular site. Erationalnews.com receives only information about users who have voluntarily agreed to receive offers from third party marketers such as Erationalnews.com and its subsidiaries. The information gathered enables us and our customers to better tailor offers to these individuals.
2. Use of Information
