relating directly to you. From time to time, we may collect
additional personal information about you.
2.
Aggregate Information: data gathered from a conglomerate of
sources to give us an overall picture of the industry, trends
or statistics and does not reveal the identity of the individuals
who shared it. This information is used primarily for marketing

has been rejected. We may use this information to send electronic
newsletters periodically.

and/or content any member has made available on the 241Hits.com

information allows us to perform statistical analysis on trends

non-personal information available to select third party partners.

for our partners. This information provides valuable assistance
to our advertiser and sponsors to promote and market their
products and services. 241Hits.com may contact you in the
future with offers it feels may be of interest to you.
We
will gather IP addresses in the form of aggregations for system
administration purposes and to gather demographic information.
