Personal Information may include: (i) Contact Data (such as a User's name, mailing and e-mail addresses); (ii) Financial Data (such as a User's account or credit card number); and (iii) Demographic Data (such as a User's zip code and gender). If a User communicates with Information Resources by e-mail or otherwise completes online forms or surveys, any information provided in such communication may be collected as Personal Information.

2. Uses of Information Collected

Information Resources uses Contact Data to send Users information about Information Resources or our products or services, promotional material from selected partners, or to contact Users when necessary. Information Resources uses User's Financial Data to verify User's qualifications for certain products or services and to bill User for products and services. Information Resources may use Service Data and Reports on an aggregate basis for such purposes as Information Resources deems appropriate. By using the Site, User consents to the collection and use of User's Personal Information and Service Data and Reports by Information Resources as described in this Privacy Policy.

3. User Choice Regarding Collection, Use and Distribution of Personal Information
