optional personal information that you voluntarily provide to us. Following are examples of the types
of information that we collect:
Your IP address.
We use your IP address to administer our site and help diagnose problems with our server. Your IP address
also is used to help identify you.
Cookies. A cookie is a small data file that certain sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can
track information such as a user ID and the various pages that you have visited. We use secure cookies to personalize the information
that is delivered to you and for internal aggregate reporting to enhance our site. We also may use ad agencies to place advertising,
such as banner ads, on our site. Such advertising may contain cookies that collect information for the ad agency. We will not have
access to this information nor will we be able to control the use of this information.
Registration forms. As part of the registration process you will be asked to provide your e-mail address and a password.
We may use this contact data to send you information and ideas relating to your stated personal preferences.
Idea Rating System. An important feature of our site is our idea rating system, which allows visitors to give a rating to
ideas on our site. As part of the rating process, we will ask users to rate ideas that they read. The ratings that you give to
ideas are private and will not be revealed to anyone. We will aggregate ratings given to each idea for the purpose of identifying
those ideas that are most popular with our community.
Use of Personal Information
The information that we collect allows us to enhance and improve
our site and the services offered by our site. Specific uses of collected information include:
Personalization of features and services. Based upon the
personal preferences and viewing habits of users, we may send content and information to users that we think may
interest them. For example, if a user registers to be alerted for a particular category on our site, we will send them content and
information related to that category.
Aggregated Information. All of the information that we collect
is aggregated, which means that information is grouped together in a way that does not disclose the personal information of
any one particular individual. Aggregated information may be provided to our affiliates or advertisers. We may produce aggregated
reports for advertisers identifying, for example, the number of users that visit our site or different areas of our site, the
number of users that clicked on an advertisement or the number of users that read a particular idea. This aggregated information
will not include personally identifiable information about you or your use of our site.

Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information and use
technology such as encryption, access control procedures, firewalls and physical security. We urge you to use a password to
protect your account from unauthorized access by others. If others, including family or household members, access and use the
Site through your password, you are responsible for the actions of those individuals.
Children's Privacy
This site contains ideas and other content that may be of
interest to children. We do not restrict the use of our site to users over the age of 18 nor do we ask the age of our users.
As a result, we may collect information from users under the age of 18 without prior parental consent or parental notification.
Thus, we ask children to obtain the consent of their parent or guardian before providing us with personally identifiable information.
Other Situations in which Personal Information may be Disclosed
We may store and disclose Personal Information allowed or required by
applicable law or when deemed advisable by us. This means that we may make disclosures that are necessary or advisable
