A user can enter a TLN contest through our website TLNTV.com. On the online entry form, we ask for personal information such as your name and address. This personal information is used for the purpose of awarding contest prizes, tracking compliance with the official rules and regulations and for internal feedback purposes.
TLN only uses a contest winner’s name (and photograph) after receiving prior written consent from the winner and the appropriate release forms are fully completed (by a parent/guardian for those under the age of 18) and returned to TLN. TLN uses a third party company to draw winners’ names, contact winners and send prizing to you. The information collected by this company is solely for the purpose of the contest fulfillment.
All contest and stored information received from our visitors remains the exclusive property of TLN and is not sold or distributed. Contest entry names and information are only seen by TLN and TLN’s contest fulfillment house.
Occasionally visitors are invited to voluntarily answer survey questions that may be used in conjunction with sponsors/business partners. Be assured that in these survey situations, only general (not personal) information such as gender, age and postal code is collected. The information collected ensures that visitors remain anonymous.
With TLN.com membership, users will have the option to receive email newsletters from TLN.com. The newsletter will be sent out periodically and provide program updates, information on special events, new contests, and TLN Host messages.
