EveryFreeGift.com may also use personal information for any marketing and survey purpose on behalf of itself and its affiliates and subsidiaries.

Further, EveryFreeGift.com may disclose personal information to other companies in connection with marketing efforts including but not limited to direct marketing, which may have no relationship to EveryFreeGift.com. Finally, if EveryFreeGift.com or any of its assets are acquired by or merged with another entity, member information will be one of the transferred assets.

Additionally, EveryFreeGift.com will use or disclose your personal information under the following circumstances: (1) in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; (2) in the event you violate or breach an agreement with EveryFreeGift.com; (3) we believe you will harm the property or rights of EveryFreeGift.com or those of EveryFreeGift.com's other customers, (4) we believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of EveryFreeGift.com's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law, or (5) personal information may also be shared with or sold to any successor to, or purchaser of, part or all of the assets of EveryFreeGift.com.

why even bother with a privacy policy if you are going to put in this line:

So basically, they say they will use your e-mail address (and any other personal info) in any way they see fit. The real question is why people would fall for that crap.
