Melon 1 asks you to provide Personally Identifiable Information in various places throughout the Melon 1 website. Some of these areas where the collection of such information takes place are listed below:
- Surveys and Polls – Melon 1 offers online surveys and questionnaires that ask users for opinions on various issues and/or other information. Occasionally, we may request demographic information (like zip code, age or gender) when you answer a survey. Such surveys are completely voluntary.
- Sweepstakes and Contests – We offer sweepstakes, contests and giveaways throughout our website. We typically ask you for your email address and/or phone number (to notify you if you’ve won, or not). We also ask for first and last names, and sometimes post office addresses in order to verify the entrant’s identity. In some situations, we need additional information as part of the entry process, such as a prize selection choice.
