What Information Is Collected?

1. Your Personal Information:
During normal Website(s) usage, you can visit our site without communicating any
personal information. However, to make use of certain features on our site, such

newsletters, users may need to register with the Stornoway website(s). As part
of this voluntary registration, Stornoway may request contact information (such

by entering a chat room or bulletin board, or by entering a contest that is
posted on our website(s), you will be consenting to the collection, use and
distribution of your personal information by Stornoway for the purposes of
running the contest and/or for distribution to sponsors who manage the contests
and for purposes of marketing (for example the sponsor may directly contact the
contestant to promote products and services) and/or distribution to third
parties who may participate in chat rooms and bulletin boards on the website(s).
You are under no obligation to provide us with this personal information and can
access and enjoy many parts of the Stornoway website(s) without providing us any
personal information. However, for clarity, please understand that by
