Personal Information

The only way the sponsor receives your information is if you fill out a monthly drawing form. If you do not participate in a drawing then there is no collection of personal data. This is the only portion of the website that collects any personal data, and it is only through you entering data in the monthly drawing form. By entering personal data in the monthly drawing form you are giving the Statesboro Business Magazine permission to forward that personal information to the contest sponsors. The data is not used in any other way or given to any entity other than the drawing sponsor for that particular month.

We may also maintain a weekly newsletter. The only information we store is your e-mail address. It is not given out, traded or sold to any 3rd party. We only maintain the e-mail address list so that we can send the newsletter each week. Rest assured no one else has access to this data.
