THE DATABASE GROUP PRIVACY STATEMENT
The Choice Privileges Mall program ("Program") is a secure web environment where members ("Members") of the
Program can earn points ("Points") for shopping online at participating merchants (e-retailers) on
the web. The Program is managed and operated by The DataBase Group ("DBG"). Individuals who
login with their Choice Privileges account information and make a qualifying purchase are
considered to be signed up in the Program and are hereafter referred to as "Members".
The DataBase Group is a team of dedicated technology professionals that develop data enabled
websites for consumers and businesses. DBG takes privacy and security very seriously. We know that
these issues are critical to making the Program a success. DBG operates the Program in compliance
with all known legislation and uses industry accepted privacy practices to maintain Members
privacy. You may feel confident that DBG has taken steps to insure the privacy of Members using this
site. DBG will not treat information in ways dissimilar from what is outlined or disclosed in this
statement.
THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT
As part of the sign-in process we will ask you for your:
- • Choice Privileges Online Profile Username
- • Choice Privileges Online Profile Password
Your Choice Privileges Username and Password, and any other fields, noted as such, are required
fields. This information is necessary to successfully track your purchases and credit Points for
qualifying purchases.
DBG uses return email addresses to answer the emails we receive. Your return email address is not
used for any other purpose and is not shared with outside parties.
DBG USE OF CHOICE PRIVILEGES ACCOUNT INFORMATION
Information on the Member activities is collected and accumulated in order to process awards and to
continually improve the Program and Program offerings. This information is used in the process of
posting Points to a Member's account and is transmitted to Choice Privileges specifically for this
purpose. We do not sell your name or other private information to third parties.
ACCESS TO INFORMATION
Any personal information supplied to DBG by Members is kept confidential and will not be disclosed
except as permitted by express consent of the Member or as required by law. DBG will not disclose
information about Members to third parties unless:
- • The Member has given DBG express consent to do so, or

DBG may provide aggregated statistics to third parties or participating merchants but only if this

USE OF COOKIES
CHOICE PRIVILEGES MALL PROGRAM COOKIES
Members register in the Program and may be presented with the option of accepting a DBG Loyalty
"remember me" program cookie. This cookie facilitates the Members' ability to eliminate the need to
enter their Choice Privileges account information each time they visit the site. Cookies are small
text files stored on the Member's computer and are used by DBG for identification and to display and
process points earned in the Program. This cookie is used for no other purpose by DBG. If you elect
to not accept a cookie from the DBG Loyalty servers then the Program will require you to enter your
Choice Privileges account information each time you wish to start a Choice Privileges Mall points-eligible
shopping session at a participating merchant.
MERCHANT AND NETWORK COOKIES
As part of the Shopping process it is necessary for DBG to be able to track your purchases in order
to successfully post the Points for your Qualifying Purchases in the Program. This tracking function
is performed using cookies both from our Affiliate Networks and from many of the merchants in the
Program. Though the Program does not require a cookie to be placed on your machine from our systems,
it is a required step in order for you to successfully shop and receive points for your
transactions.
PARTICIPATING MERCHANTS
DBG reminds Members and visitors of our website that we provide additional links to merchants and
additional resources we find useful. These links will lead you to sites operated with different
privacy practices. DBG wants to caution our visitors and Members that they must take the
responsibility of reviewing the other websites' privacy policies, as we have no control over
information that is submitted by Members to these third parties. Participating merchants may collect
additional information to ensure an award transaction is tracked and reported including the use of
cookies. DBG has no access or controls over the usage of these cookies or the collection and
dissemination of additional information collected by the merchant.
CHILDREN ON CHOICE PRIVILEGES MALL WEBSITE
The Program is not directed to children, nor do we believe that it will be of interest to
children. DBG will not collect or store any personably identifiable information from persons or
individuals known to be under the Age of 13. If you believe that a child has submitted information
to the Program and you would like that information removed, please send a written request for
removal to:

responsibility to ensure that all of the information you used to

posting Points to your Choice Privileges account, we may not be able
to contact you to correct an error if the information we have is
incorrect or incomplete.
