instances where andiland.com and a partner jointly promote the Services,
andiland.com may provide the partner certain personal information, such as the
name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to the Services as a
result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and the
partner to assess the results of the promotion. In this instance, personal
information may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. andiland.com
may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal
information Members provide during registration (such as the total number, but
not the names, of Members). As explained in more detail below, we may use this
aggregated and non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear
on the Services.
