These Providers may also collect information.
You may be asked to provide information that personally identifies you or allows 556 Apps and/or its Providers to contact you.

You may be asked for information, which is not considered PII, such as a zip/postal code and/or country of origin. As a registered subscriber or user, you may be able to download software, enter contests, order e-mail newsletters or participate in additional services. In addition to the PII obtained at registration, you may be asked for information at other times, such as when you make a purchase or register for a service on or through the 556 Apps Sites, when you submit a listing for a web site, or when you report a problem with one of our sites or services. However, whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for example on message boards, through email, or in chat areas – that information can be collected and used by others.
In addition to the information that you may proactively provide or voluntarily disclose, your mere use of the 556 Apps Sites may result in the assignment of unique identifying numbers and/or codes which may be used to allow 556 Apps and its Providers and others who assist 556 Apps in the support of the 556 Apps Sites and the products and services offered on the 556 Apps Sites, including advertisers, to track a user’s web browsing movements across the internet and not just on the 556 Apps sites.

At such times, 556 Apps may disclose your PII to sponsors of the Special Program, and we may or may not describe this to you prior to transferring the data. Special Programs may also be subject to additional or different terms, or may be shared or used in a slightly different way.

Why We Want to Know. It’s important for us to know our users. We deliver valuable products and services, we can accomplish this through the use of Providers, such as advertisers, to produce the income we need to operate the free areas of the 556 Apps Sites. Providers are like most businesses in that they want something in return for the money they spend advertising on the 556 Apps Sites. They may want to know how many people will see their ad, and how often. The advertising companies may use information (including or not including PII) about your visits to this and other web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. These companies may also employ, among other things, Cookies, Web Beacons, Flash Shared Objects, HTML5 Local Storage and/or HTML5 Mini Databases in furtherance of their services to 556 Apps.
Vendors and Third Party Providers. To make the 556 Apps Sites more valuable to our customers and our visitors, we may offer some products, services or features in conjunction with Providers. Many wireless products, for example, may be made available through cooperative arrangements with Providers who offer specialized products, information or services that work well with 556 Apps Sites, products and services. In some instances, our Providers may have the same access to your PII as we do. Their use of the information will be subject to the terms of their respective privacy policies or statements, which you may find on their websites.
