We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site, and to help identify you. Your IP address is also used to gather broad demographic information, and for other purposes.

Our Site uses cookies to make sure you don't see the same ad repeatedly. We also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, and to save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site, and for other purposes. We also use Cookies to track your progress and number of entries in some of our promotions, sweepstakes and contests. When a Searchhawk-hosted promotion uses cookies, the information written to the cookie indicates the player's progress through the promotion, and may be used to track entries, submissions, and status in prize drawings. We also collect cookies to measure certain traffic patterns. We use this research to understand how our users' habits are similar or different from one another so that we can make each new experience on Searchhawk a better one. We may use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you and other users will see on our sites.

Advertising networks that serve ads onto Searchhawk may also use their own cookies. We may use from time to time, an outside ad company to display ads on our site. These ads may contain cookies. While we use cookies in other parts of our Web site, cookies received with banner ads are collected by our ad company, and we do not have access to this information. Some customer data is shared with the advertising companies.

Searchhawk works with a third party that serves ads to this site. To find out more about how manages the privacy of information in conjunction with serving ads on this site, please go to

Our site's registration and survey forms requires users to give us contact information (like their name, email, gender, occupation, industry and personal interests.), and demographic information (like their zip code, age, or income level). The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to tailor the site to your needs . Once you register your information is stored in our database for our records.

In addition to registration we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you enter a sweepstakes, contest or promotion sponsored by Searchhawk and/or our many partners. Whenever you make a contact to Searchhawk, either fillout out our online forms, or sending emails directly, we may keep it for reference. From time to time, you may be offered the opportunity to receive materials or special offers from third parties. If you opt-in to receive information from these third parties, Searchhawk will (with your permission) share your name and email address with them. Contact information is also used to get in touch with the customer when necessary, to share with other companies who may want to contact our customers, and for other purposes. In our role of delivering targeted advertisements, Searchhawk plays the middleman. Advertisers give us an advertisement and tell us the type of audience they want to reach (for example, males over 35 years old). Searchhawk takes the advertisement and displays it to users meeting that criteria. In this process, the advertiser never has access to individual account information. Only Searchhawk has access to individuals' accounts. This kind of advertisement targeting is done with banner ads as well as promotional email through Searchhawk. You will only receive special offers via email from Searchhawk if you have indicated in your account preferences that you would like to receive them. You can change your account preferences at any time.

Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.

Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site.
This information is shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis. We use this data to tailor our visitor's experience at our site showing them content that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences. Promotions that run on Searchhawk may be sponsored by companies other than Searchhawk or may be cosponsored by Searchhawk and another company. Some or all data collected during a promotion may be shared with the sponsor. If data will be shared, you will be notified prior to the time of data collection or transfer. You can decide not to participate in the promotion if you don't want your data to be shared. Currently, most Searchhawk promotions are limited to US or North American residents.
