Kinds of Information We Collect from Our Visitors
The personally identifiable information we collect is used to facilitate entry into our Editor's Choice contests.

We may use information in the file we maintain about a visitor to resolve disputes and troubleshoot problems.
Disclosure of Your Information
We respect the privacy of our visitors and, therefore, we will not sell or otherwise intentionally release any of our visitors' personal information to any third party.
