presumably include information such as residential address, personal e-mail address,
telephone number, identification numbers, age, income, ethnic origin, gender, marital
status, religion, education, medical information, and financial history. Personal
Information would also include opinions, evaluations and comments.

collect Personal Information and in these situations we will do so in accordance

(for example, product preferences). Personal Information from contest entries will
