opt-out link for your use to remove your information from their email list.
Furthermore, if you wish us not to share your email address or other
personally identifiable information you may contact us by email at

Surveys or Contests
On occasion we provide hosting customers with the opportunity to participate
in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request
certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice
whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information
typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address),
and demographic information (such as zip code).
If the contest or survey requires, permits or is otherwise related to the
submission by you to us of any story, artwork, photograph or other such
material this information and/or material may be used to select a winner
and/or tabulate survey results. In addition, we may use any such submission
pursuant to the relevant portion of our Terms of Service to display to other
hosting customers or non-hosting customers whether or not in conjunction
with information from our advertisers or partners.

In addition to the registration information set forth above, Chime Host also
records and tracks your IP address, and browser type for purposes of
security, maintaining the web site and ensuring the best possible user
experience. This non-personally identifiable information is also tabulated
in the aggregate for purposes of determining broad demographic usage
information and on occasion is shared with third-parties to provide more
relevant services and advertisements to hosting customers. We do not link
aggregate user data with personally identifiable information.
