often these surveys and polls are sponsored by or associated
with LearningLinkAsia advertisers and partners.

code, age or gender). Most information obtained through
surveys and polls is aggregated and used internally or
shared with advertisers and partners only in the aggregated
form. In the event personally identifiable information is
requested as part of surveys or polls about any LearningLinkAsia
member or subscriber, such personally identifiable
information is never provided to third parties without your
consent. In these instances you may expressly choose to
receive information from a sponsor, in which case your

answers may be added to your member profile (so that we can
better provide you with content, ads and offers that are
most appropriate for you).

websites. We cannot be responsible for the privacy practices

supplied services and tools you may be required to provide
personally identifiable information to the advertisers and
partners whose tools and services you have chosen to
interact with. Each advertiser and partner will request
different information from you.

with advertisers and partners on an aggregated basis and in
these instances your permission will not be requested since

contractually require all such third party advertisers and
partners to agree not to use any non-personally identifiable

advertisers, partners or sponsors use information about you,
we urge you to contact them directly.
