Why does AT need my birth date for prizes? [Vague privacy policy]

Hi,

Why does AT want everyone's birth date for the prize giveaways? Why not just ask for age?

The site's privacy policy doesn't define "confidentially" (meaning who is privy to the info - just the webmaster? The webmaster dept? The entire AT staff? AT and its "selected partners"?)

What happens to everyone's emails once a particular giveaway is over - are they all deleted or archived? If archived, for how long? Is it sold, rented, etc to a 3rd party?

(There's also a few typos on the p.p.)

Thx.


Moved to PFI.

You're on a free forum which is giving away free prizes and you're complaining about having to give them information. LOL

Valid point. But I am still curious on who has access to the information I give.

PS - I don't see any problem with giving my DOB. Just want to know who is asking for it.
