D. Promotions. We may ask you for Personal Information at other times, including, but not limited to, when you enter contests or promotions sponsored by Download4U.net or our advertisers. If you choose to
enter contests or promotions sponsored by an advertiser third party, the Personal Information you provide will be subject to the privacy policy of the third party sponsor. We encourage you to check the applicable
third party policy before providing any Personal Information.
E. Surveys and User Research. Download4U.net conducts email and web-delivered surveys from time to time, as well as instant polls, to gather information about our users. Taking these surveys and polls is
entirely optional. You have no obligation to respond to them. We share only the aggregate results of these surveys, not Personal Information, with our advertisers and partners to help them better understand our
services and monitor the reach of their advertising or other offerings on our service. We also use some of the Personal Information that you provide in these surveys to help us understand your interests and to make
the Download4U.net site more useful to you.
F. Use of Cookies. On the Internet, a "cookie" is a piece of information (a file) that a Web site transfers to a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. The use of cookies is common on the
Internet. The process we use to track use of the Download4U.net site involves session cookies. We use cookies to recognize users who have already registered for the Download4U.net site, allowing those users to speed
up their future activities on the site. Cookies also enable us to measure aggregate (total) usage and traffic to the Download4U.net site and to specific offerings. This aids us in producing content that best meets
our users' preferences. In order to implement new services, we may use other types of cookies as well. We also may use cookies to understand better what parts of the Download4U.net site you like best.

deliver a product or service you ordered.
H. Sharing Non-Personal Information. Download4U.net may share information that is not Personal Information -- meaning non-personal, aggregate, or summary, information regarding our users -- with other
third parties not mentioned in this Policy. This kind of information does not identify you individually.
I. Merger or Acquisition. In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or the sale of Download4U.net, Download4U.net may transfer your Personal
Information to a third party as a part of such merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale.
J. Legal Authorities. We may also disclose Personal Information in cases when we reasonably believe that it is necessary to identify someone who may be violating Download4U.net policies or the
Download4U.net site's User Agreements or other terms of use, or who may be a threat to Download4U.net or third party rights, property, or personal safety. The Download4U.net site may disclose Personal Information to
comply with valid legal process such as a duly issued search warrant, subpoena or court order.

theDownload4U.net site. Such sites are operated by external, third-party service providers. Some of these sites will have their own separate membership processes and privacy policies. We do not control sites that
are operated by others and are not responsible for the information practices of these sites. Other sites may set their own cookies, collect data or solicit personal information. It is always a good idea to check the
privacy policy and terms of use of any site before offering any of your Personal Information. We do not share your Personal Information with these independent web sites.
