We may use the personal information you supply us to enhance the Click IT service, personalize your experience and provide you with special offers we think you will find valuable. We may also use other information obtained from user site traffic patterns to better provide you with a personalized experience and special advertising offers and promotions. We view personalized advertising and promotions as beneficial to our users.
When using personal information in connection with sweepstakes, contests and other promotions the information will be used to notify you if you are a winner, prize delivery and to ensure that we Comply with the applicable laws.

Provide you with advertising and other promotional offers that we believe will be of interest to you.
Contact users for feedback regarding Click IT and Click IT\’s partners via email surveys.
We may also use the information we collect to develop aggregated summary reports for our advertisers or partners. Such an aggregated report might, for example, be “25,000 people clicked on this link and of those people, 50% participated in a contest and were above the age of 25.” We provide this information to assist our advertisers or partners in determining how to promote their products. We do not tell our advertisers or partners who it was that saw or clicked on their advertisements or icons unless you have told us this is acceptable.
Unless you have opted out of receiving special offers or emails from selected third parties, we may also provide a report to our advertiser or partner which tells them who responded to a particular offer. For example, we might send you an email which offers you a discount on a particular item or service. If you click on that e-mail or accept an offer or discount contained in it, we may provide the advertiser or partner with the information necessary to provide you with that discount.
Click IT may use publicly available consumer data to enhance the service we provide you and to present you with special advertising offers and promotions. In cases where Click IT obtains publicly available consumer data Click IT DOES NOT disclose your personally identifiable information to the party providing us with this data. Under confidentiality agreements which will not permit reuse or disclosure, Click IT may match your user information with third party data. We may sometimes do this in order to help determine whether a particular offer or promotion will be of interest to our users.

What are cookies and how are they used by Click IT?
As a standard practice, Click IT may assign a random number or other identifier to each user for anonymously tracking content preferences and traffic patterns. This identifier is kept in a file on your Computer called a “cookie.” “Cookies” may also allow Click IT to keep track of how often users are using specific areas of our site or simply visiting our site.
Click IT does not require users to accept “cookies” in order to enjoy the site. You can set your browser to reject “cookies”, or to notify you when Click IT or another Company sends you a cookie. If you have questions about how to change your browser\’s “cookie” settings, please contact the software manufacturer.
What happens when you leave Click IT websites to go to other sites?
When you are on a Click IT website or portal, you may leave our site to visit other sites that are beyond our control. For example, if you “click” on a banner advertisement, or click on a partners or advertiser’s icon or link, the “click” may take you off the Click IT site. These other sites may independently collect data, solicit personal information, or send their own cookies to you. Click IT is not responsible for any use of the information including click-stream data that you may create when using such 3rd party sites.
Click IT may also offer its users access to “co-branded” services that are jointly provided by Click IT and selected Companies. These co-branded services will contain Click IT branding, but may not be hosted by Click IT. You may notice that you are on a co-branded site if the pages say, for example, “provided by”, or if you are asked to subscribe for any service or provide additional information. In such cases, if you use the co-branded service, Click IT may be entitled to receive information about what you do when using that service. If you elect to provide additional personal information using a co-branded service, the information you provide may be shared or jointly retained by the provider of that service in accordance with that provider\’s privacy policies and terms of service. Again, we encourage you to read the privacy polices of these other Companies/sites and to contact these Companies/sites directly if you have any questions about their use of this information.
Who has access to your personally identifiable information?
If you share your Computer or use a Computer that is accessed by the general public (a University, library, etc…), remember to sign off and close your browser window when you have finished your session. This will help to ensure that others cannot access your personal information.
