COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION
We may collect some or all of the following information from you when you visit
our website:
1) personally-identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us,
such as your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address;
2) Information volunteered by you, such as survey information and/or information
in connection with contest registrations; and/or
3) Aggregate and non-personal information identifying the Web pages that consumers
access or visit.
The type of information we collect from you will depend on the web pages you
access at our site. For example, you can visit our website and learn about
our products without providing personally-identifiable information. However, you
may be required to provide us with personal information when ordering products
from our site, registering on the site, entering our contests or promotions, completing
our surveys and questionnaires, using our “Tell a Friend” feature on our website,
or using our recipe boxes on our site. Some of these uses are described in
more detail below.
Orders—If you purchase a product from us, we request
certain personally-identifiable information from you on our order form. You must
provide contact information (such as name, e-mail, and shipping address) and financial
information (such as credit card number, expiration date). We use this information
for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing
an order, we will use this information to contact you.
Registration—You may choose to register on our
site. The information requested during the registration process includes personally-identifiable
information such as your name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number. We use this information to monitor site traffic, send e-mail newsletters and personalize
the site.
Surveys or Contests—We may provide you the opportunity
to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we
will request certain personally-identifiable information from you. Participation
in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice
whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically
includes contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information
(such as zip code) and will also include information contained in your contest entry
and/or survey response.
Refer-A-Friend—This site may, from time to time, include
a “Refer-A-Friend” application that makes it easy for you to forward information
from our site to friends or family by e-mail. If you choose to tell a friend
about our site, we will ask you for your friend’s name and e-mail address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time e-mail inviting him or her to visit
the site. We do not store this information except for the sole purpose of
sending this one-time e-mail.
A SPECIAL NOTE TO PARENTS: We respect the privacy
of all of our online users, especially children. We do not intend to collect personally-identifiable
information from children under 13. Our policy is intended to adhere to the Children's
Advertising Review Unit (CARU) privacy guidelines and the Children’s Online Privacy
Protection Act (COPPA). We encourage parents to monitor, supervise, and join
their children in online activities.
SHARING OF INFORMATION
Personally-identifiable Information—We will not share
personally-identifiable information with third parties, unless you have consented. Below are some examples of relationships or situations involving sharing personal

for marketing purposes. We may use a third-party service provider to conduct these
surveys. We may also share survey response with third parties for commercial purposes. We will not share the personally-identifiable information you provide through a
survey with other third parties unless you give your prior consent.

provide our online customer e-mail list and other personally-identifiable information
