may perform statistical analyses of user behaviour and characteristics
in order to measure interest in the use of the various areas of the site

Additionally, users should be aware that
when they voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information (e.g.
user name, e-mail address) on any bulletin boards or chat areas of the
Gamble-Index.com sites, that information, along with any substantive
information disclosed in the user's communication, can be collected and
correlated and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited

the control of Gamble-Index.com.
Users also should be aware that
non-personal information and data may be automatically collected through
the standard operation of Gamble-Index.com's internet servers or through

to recognise repeat users, facilitate the user's ongoing access to and
use of the site, track usage, follow site behaviour and compile
aggregate data that will allow content improvements and targeted
advertising.

Upon request, Gamble-Index.com will allow
any user to "opt out" of further promotional contacts at any time.
Additionally upon request, Gamble-Index.com will use reasonable efforts
to allow users to update/correct personal information previously
submitted which the user states is erroneous to the extent such
activities will not compromise privacy or security interests. Also, upon
a user's request, Gamble-Index.com will use commercially reasonable
efforts functionally to delete the user and his or her personal
information from its database; however, it may be impossible to delete a
user's entry without some residual information because of backups and
records of deletions.

policy at any time by notifying users of the existence of a new privacy
statement. This statement and the policies outlined herein are not
