Privacy Policy
ACH Food Companies,
Inc. ("we," "us," "our") respects your privacy and is committed to
protecting your personally identifiable information. We have adopted
this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to explain what information may
be collected on this site ("Site") and how such information may be used
and/or shared with others. This Privacy Policy applies solely to
information collected through this Site and its e-commerce component and
not through any other sources. This Privacy Policy is subject to the
terms and conditions posted on this Site ("Terms of Use"). Please return
to this Site and review this Privacy Policy from time to time, as it may
be amended without notice. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be
effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy on
this Site. Your use of the Site constitutes your agreement to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Privacy Policy.
YOUR INFORMATION AND HOW WE USE IT
This Site collects two kinds of information: (1) information
that personally identifies you (such as your name and e-mail address);
and (2) information that does not personally identify you (such as the
number of users who log on to the Site on a daily basis). As a general
policy, no personally identifiable information is automatically
collected from your visit to this Site. However, in certain
circumstances, you may be asked to provide us with some specific
information about yourself in order to use specific features on the
Site, such as sweepstakes, contests, surveys and other promotions. Such
information may include contact information (such as your name and/or
e-mail address), and other information as we may require. The personally
identifiable information you submit will be used to carry out your
requests and respond to your inquiries. To accomplish this, we may share
your personally identifiable information with third parties who
represent that they will provide the same level privacy protection as
ACH Food Companies, Inc. has stated herein, that perform functions on
our behalf (or on behalf of our partners), such as companies or
individuals that deliver merchandise, participate in our promotions,
administer our promotions, provide marketing or promotional assistance,
analyze data or provide customer service (but such information will be
shared only to the extent they need such information to perform their
functions). Your personally identifiable information may also be used by
us or shared with our parent, subsidiaries and affiliates to provide you
with product information, and promotional and other offers. You may
always direct us (by contacting us at the address listed below) not to
share your personally identifiable information with these parties or not
to use your personally identifiable information to provide you with such
information or offers. We may also use your information as otherwise
disclosed at the point where such information is collected or in any
additional terms and conditions applicable to the particular feature of
the Site. Except as provided herein, your personally identifiable
information will not be provided to any third parties without prior
approval from you.
From time to
time, we may collect non-personally identifiable information from
you through the standard operation of our servers. Such information
can include the type of browser being used (e.g., Netscape
Navigator, Internet Explorer), the operating system you are using
(e.g., Windows 95, Windows 98, Macintosh), the domain name of your
Internet service provider (e.g., America Online, Compuserve), and
the number of users that visit a specific page on the Site and the
character and duration of such visits. This information may be used
to help analyze site traffic and improve our services. We may also
aggregate such information to create statistical data and share it
with potential advertisers, partners, affiliates and other third
parties. At no point, however, will the aggregated information
personally identify you.
We reserve the
right to disclose any personally identifiable or non-personally
identifiable information if we are required to do so by law or if we
reasonably believe that such action is necessary in order to: (a)
fulfill a government request; (b) conform with the requirements of
the law or to comply with legal process served on us; (c) to protect
or defend the legal rights or property of ACH Food Companies, Inc.,
this Site, or its users; or (d) in an emergency to protect the
health and safety of this Site’s users or the general public.
CHILDREN
UNDER 13
This Site is
operated in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection
Act. We do not request children under the age of 13 to provide more
personally identifiable information than is reasonably necessary to
participate in an activity on the Site. For example, with respect to
sweepstakes, we only request children’s e-mail addresses to allow
them to participate. In any event, Children under the age of 13
should not provide any personally identifiable information on the
Site without the knowledge and permission of a parent or guardian.
If (at the point where a user’s personally identifiable information
is collected) we determine that such user is under the age of 13,
the personally identifiable information provided by such user will
not be used or maintained without the consent of his/her parent or
guardian. In certain circumstances, we may require children under
the age of 13 to provide us with the contact information for their
parent or legal guardian. We will use this information (i) to notify
such parents or legal guardians of their children’s participation in
an activity on the Site and of our privacy practices, and/or (ii) to
seek consent to their children’s participation in an activity on the
Site. Without his/her parent’s or legal guardian’s permission, a
child under the age of 13 may not be able to participate in certain
activities.
IP ADDRESS
An IP address
is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever
you're surfing the Web. Web servers, the big computers that "serve
up" Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP
address. We collect IP addresses for purposes of system
administration, to report aggregate information to our partners, and
to track the use of the Site. When visitors request pages from the
Site, our servers log the visitors' IP addresses. It is not our
practice to link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable,
which means that a visitor's session will be logged, but the visitor
remains anonymous to us. However, we reserve the right to use IP
addresses to identify a visitor only when we feel it is necessary to
enforce compliance with the Site's policies or to protect our
service or customers, the Site, or others.
COOKIES
"Cookies" are
small text files from a Web site that are stored on your hard drive.
These small text files make using a Web site more convenient by
saving your passwords and preferences for you. Cookies themselves do
not contain any personally identifiable information. We may analyze
the information derived from these cookies and match such
information with data provided by you or another party. We may
provide our analysis and certain non-personally identifiable
information to potential partners, advertisers (who may use this
information to provide advertisements tailored to your interests) or
other third parties, but we will not disclose any personally
identifiable information, except as provided in this Privacy Policy.
Also, we may
allow third parties that serve advertisements on our Site (including
our promotion partners) to place and access cookies on your
computer, but they will not be able to access our cookies. The use
of cookies by such third parties are not subject to our Privacy
Policy, but are subject to their own respective privacy policies.
You can have
the option of deciding whether or not to accept a cookie by
resetting your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is being sent
to your hard drive. You may also delete a cookie manually from your
hard drive. Please note, however, that some parts of this Site will
not function properly or will be considerably slower if you refuse
to accept a cookie or choose to disable your cookies settings.
KEEPING
YOUR INFORMATION SECURE
We have
reasonable and appropriate security measures in place to protect
against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our
control. Please be advised, however, that while we strive to protect
your personally identifiable information and privacy, we cannot
guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or
transmit to us online and cannot be responsible for the theft,
destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your personally
identifiable information.
TRANSFER OF
ASSETS
As we continue
to develop our business, we may sell or purchase assets. If another
entity acquires us or all or substantially all of our assets,
personally identifiable information, non-personally identifiable
information, and any other information that we have collected about
the users of the Site will be transferred to such entity as one of
the transferred assets. Also, if any bankruptcy or reorganization
proceeding is brought by or against us, all such information may be
considered an asset of ours and as such may be sold or transferred
to third parties.
OTHER SITES
This Site may
contain links to other web sites that we do not control or maintain.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by these
other web sites. We encourage you to note when you leave this Site
and to read the privacy statements of such other web sites before
submitting any personally identifiable information. In addition,
this Site may link to web sites owned or operated by third parties.
Please note that the other third party web sites are subject to the
privacy policies posted on those sites.
