Information is used by Corrupt Interactive in identifying information that may
be of interest to its Players. A Player's e-mail address will be used by Corrupt
Interactive Inc. to contact that Player about Player-selected interests and
prizes. TopShift.com does not use Player information for purposes unrelated to
the services offered by Corrupt Interactive Inc. unless otherwise requested by
its members.
The "Refer A Friend" option authorizes us to send an email to your
friends. Your friends will not receive any other e-mail from TopShift.com or
Corrupt Interactive Inc. not relating to that promotion. Additionally broadcast
e-mails are occasionally sent to our Players to keep our Players aware of our
promotions, prizes, and sponsor offers. In addition, Corrupt Interactive Inc.

The Use of Cookies
and Clear GIFs
As an important and
necessary part of providing customizable and personalized services to our
Players, TopShift.com and Corrupt Interactive Inc. uses cookies to store and
sometimes track information about Players. A cookie is a small amount of data
that is sent to a Player's browser from a Web server and stored on a Player's
computer hard drive. Areas of TopShift.com’s and
Corrupt Interactive Inc. affiliate Web Sites where Players are prompted to
login or that are customizable require acceptance of cookies. Cookies are also
used to help TopShift.com track the response to messages sent to Players on
behalf of marketers so that TopShift.com and Corrupt Interactive Inc.can monitor and report campaign results to the marketer
and track response history. In addition, banner advertisements are displayed on
our Web Sites, which may contain cookies. While TopShift.com and Corrupt
Interactive Inc. use cookies in other parts of our Web Sites, the cookies
received with banner ads are collected by our advertising partners, and TopShift.com
and Corrupt Interactive Inc. does not have access to this information. With
respect to cookies, you have a choice. By modifying your browser preferences,
you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set,
or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies, you will be
unable to use those TopShift.com and Corrupt Interactive Inc. services that
require the use of cookies in order to participate.
TopShift.com and
Corrupt Interactive Inc. also use a common technology known as a clear gif or
action tags on the Web Site and in e-mail communications with Players. A clear
gif (standing for "graphic interface format") is a small graphic
image that is 1x1 pixel that TopShift.com and Corrupt
Interactive Inc. place on a page of the Web Site. TopShift.com and Corrupt
Interactive Inc. may also occasionally place clear gifs in e-mail messages that
it sends to Players. Clear gifs provide TopShift.com and Corrupt Interactive Inc.
with important information about how Players use the Web Site and respond to
e-mail messages. This helps TopShift.com and Corrupt Interactive Inc. to better
track certain promotions and understand the effectiveness of its outreach to
Players. TopShift.com and Corrupt Interactive Inc. may also allow its
advertisers and Partners the ability to use clear gifs on the Web Site solely
to track Players who link from their respective sites to this Site, though this
ability to track such activity does not allow these entities access any
Player's personal information to which they are not otherwise entitled.
