SCCL offers contests and sweepstakes in which we request certain personal information.

The information gathered in the entry form is used to verify the entrants identity, to send the entrant an email notification that their entry has been received, and to contact winners and/or prize recipients.
Because the rules and terms of each contest can vary, all information about each contest is clearly posted during the event. All contests and sweepstakes are conducted in full accordance with NZ laws.

SCCL does break down overall usage statistics according to a users domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every users browser).
