On the second page of the member registration process, you may request to receive weekly e-mails from webMillion.com to notify you about winning numbers that were drawn for the past week's contests as well as all contests you have not entered prior to the closing of each individual contest. webMillion.com uses your e-mail address to contact you regarding these specifically requested notifications.

By joining webMillion.com, you will receive special offers and promotional e-mails.
By joining webMillion.com, you will receive special offers and promotional e-mails. These offers and promotions can be tailored to your interests on the second page of the registration process. These e-mails offer third-party information but are distributed via webMillion. webMillion.com uses your e-mail address to contact you regarding these specifically requested notifications and does not distribute your information to the sponsors who provide you with the promotions and offers. Please be aware that if you choose to respond to any of these promotions or offers, the sponsor of the promotion or offer to which you respond may receive or collect your information. Accordingly, if you choose to respond to any of these promotions or offers, we encourage you to review the privacy policy and procedures of the sponsor. After you have registered at webMillion.com, you may go to Your Account to opt out of these special offers.
When you receive special offers sent by third-party sponsors:
On the third page of the member registration process, a list of third-party sponsors' promotions are available to you under Member Special Offers. webMillion.com passes the information you provided to those sponsors checked on the page so that they may contact you. If you do not wish to take advantage of the special offer or promotion from a sponsor, please make sure that the box next to the sponsor's name is unchecked. If you do choose to take advantage of a sponsor's offer or promotion, please go to the respective sites of such third party sponsor to modify or manage the offers you request. Because these offers are extended to you by someone other than webMillion, you can modify those accounts at the respective sites of those third-party sponsors. In addition, we encourage you to visit and review their privacy policies and procedures.
During the registration process, and at certain times during any member user session, we may present you with additional offers from third party service providers. Some offers are optional and typically presented as "yes/accept or no/decline" questions. A checked response or yes/no button selection indicates your preference. Certain offers may be presented with a pre-checked preference/selection. If you do not deselect (opt-out) the checked boxes on our join form then we may transfer your profile information to that third party service provider. Our third party service providers have their own terms and conditions and privacy policies. We suggest that you visit their sites and review their terms and conditions and privacy policies before you "opt-in" to any offer. We may share, rent, or sell personally-identifying information you provide us to THIRD PARTIES
When you play webMillion Extra Entry Extravaganza:
By playing webMillion Extra Entry Extravaganza, you may receive special offers and promotional e-mails from our sponsors. When you play Extra Entry Extravaganza the answers you give and your member data will be shared in aggregate and on an individual basis with the sponsoring advertisers. By sharing this information we can better match our members needs with advertisers and enhance member experiences with meaningful offers.
Some advertisements displayed via pop-up windows will present offers to you. If you select the offer, your personally identifiable information will be passed to these advertisers so they may communicate the offer to you. These advertisements may be delineated from other advertisements that do not collect personally identifiable information by this statement:
"If you accept this offer, your information will be forwarded to the sponsor. Please read our privacy policy for more details."
We work to ensure that you are aware when your personal information is being released beyond webMillion.com. We will only share your information with your consent (outlined in the aforementioned ways) or where mandated by law.
Ways We Use Non-personally Identifiable Information
Non-personally identifiable information includes data such as age, gender and state or country of residence. webMillion.com derives its revenue from advertising and direct marketing. To provide advertisers, media and other third parties an accurate general description of our members, we may tally and average non-personally identifiable information such as age, gender and state or country of residence.
For example: Thanks to the information submitted by our members during the registration process, we are able to tell potential advertisers that 65 percent of our membership base is female and more than 75 percent of them live in the United States.
Below is a detailed list of ways we gather and use the non-personally identifiable information.
Registration:
When you register at webMillion.com, you will be asked to include your age and gender. This information, as mentioned above, allows us to provide a general description of our members.
Fun Polls and other promotions:
WebMillion.com features a Fun Poll on its index page. This poll is occasionally used to gather aggregate information to help us improve our site. For example, the Fun Poll helped us determine that more than 93 percent of the members who entered the Fun Poll wanted webMillion.com to expand its Trivia! Contest.
Other promotions help us gather aggregate information to learn more about webMillion.com members as a whole. For example, webMillion.com featured a dream-trip contest that asked members to answer a series of marketing questions. Among those listed were questions regarding online shopping patterns, general Internet use and household size. Personal information is not distributed.
