INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE.
Personally Identifiable Information
At various locations on our Site, such as when you register,
subscribe, contact us, or participate in promotions or Interactive
Areas (“Interactive Areas” include chat rooms, bulletin boards, message
boards or auditoriums, article or blog comment areas, SMS text
messaging, mobile alerts, and mobile e-mail updates), we may request
that you supply us with personally identifiable information (e.g.,
name, e-mail address, postal addresses, home, work and/or mobile
telephone number, birth date, gender and/or credit card
information). We may survey visitors about various topics,
including local restaurant picks, food preferences, travel experiences,
favorite products and how we can improve our Site and services.
Response to our surveys is entirely voluntary. We may also
provide you with an opportunity to learn more information about
carefully selected companies who we think can offer you services and
products of interest to you. If you do not want your personally
identifiable information collected, please do not submit it to us.
When you do provide us with personally identifiable information, we
may use that information to better understand your needs and how we can
improve our Site, restaurants, service offerings, products, and your
browsing experience in order to provide you with information, marketing
and advertising tailored to your specific interests and
preferences. We may also use that information to contact you, for
example, to answer a question or respond to a comment you have
submitted, request feedback, distribute our newsletters, notify the
winner(s) of any promotions sponsored by us or conducted through the
Site and allow participation in Interactive Areas. In addition,
we may use your personal information to keep you up to date on the
latest product and event announcements, restaurant openings, special
events, book signings, appearances and for communicating other
information we think you would like to hear about.
Consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of
1998, we do not knowingly request or accept personal information from
children under the age of thirteen (13) without
verifiable consent. If we learn that personally identifiable
information of persons under thirteen (13) years of age has been
collected on the Site, we will take the appropriate steps to delete
this information.
Non- Personally Identifiable Information
In some cases, when you visit our Site, we may also collect
information that is non-personally identifiable information or
information that, by itself, cannot be used to identify or contact
you. Examples of this type of information include the type of
Internet browser or computer operating system you use, demographic
information (your age, gender, income, education, profession, zip code,
etc.), the date and time you visited our Site, the pages you accessed,
the name of the website from which you linked to our Site and other
anonymous data involving your use of our Site. We also may ask
for additional information (e.g., your favorite foods, brands
and interests) which you have the option not to provide. This
policy in no way restricts or limits our collection and use of
aggregate information and we may use and share this information to
analyze trends, to gather broad demographic information for aggregate
use and for marketing and promotional purposes. This information
is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
Cookies, Web Beacons & Similar Technologies
We may use “cookies” – small pieces of data or text files that are
stored on your computer tied to information about you. This
information will help us enhance your experience on the Site (e.g.,
the option of saving your username and password for the Site by
placing a cookie on your personal computer). Cookies can store
non-personally identifiable information, such as what websites, pages,
or advertisements your browser has accessed and may be tied to the
personal information you knowingly choose to provide to us.
Cookies help establish a user session and allow our server to
correctly provide site users with the appropriate information,
advertisements and services. We use both persistent and session
cookies. Session cookies exist only for as long as your browser
remains open. When the session ends, the browser is closed and
the cookies go away. Persistent cookies, in contrast, last from
visit to visit. Persistent cookies are saved on a visitor’s
computer by the browser and do not go away when you exit your
browser. We may use both types of cookies to enable us to collect
aggregate information on the usage patterns of our Site, such as what
areas of the Site are visited most often, so we can tailor our Site to
user preferences.
Some of our advertisers may occasionally serve you cookies as
well. We do not have control over cookies placed by
advertisers. We may also use advertising service vendors to help
present advertisements on the Site. These vendors may use cookies, web
beacons, or similar technologies to serve you advertisements tailored
to interests you have shown by browsing on this and other websites you
have visited, to determine whether you have seen a particular
advertisement before and to avoid sending you duplicate
advertisements. In doing so, these vendors may collect
non-personal information from you (see above for more
information). The use of cookies, web beacons, or similar
technologies by these advertising service vendors is subject to their
own privacy policies, not ours, and Service Provider disclaims all
liability in connection therewith. If you do not want the
benefits of these advertising cookies, you may be able to opt-out by
visiting http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
Most Internet browsers can be set to refuse to accept cookies,
although this may affect your Internet experience. You can also
erase cookies that are already on your computer, block all cookies or
receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your
browser instructions or “help” screen to learn more about these
functions.
We may use “web beacons” (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags,
single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, 1-by-1 GIFs, and web
bugs) - tiny graphic files placed on a Web page which send a signal when
a user has visited that page - allowing the Site to collect standard
access information, such as time and date of a page view, and a
description of the page on which the web beacon resides. We use
web beacons to help manage the effectiveness of our online advertising
and to gather access information, such as counting the users who have
visited those pages and compiling aggregated statistics about Site
usage.
E-MAIL COMMUNICATIONS.
When you provide us with your e-mail address when you subscribe to
our e-mail list or electronic newsletter, we may share your e-mail with
certain third parties that we believe may be of interest to you.
We may use e-mail addresses to occasionally deliver information
relevant to you, such as special events, benefits, newsletters,
promotions, surveys and notification of other noteworthy news
items. If you send us an e-mail with questions or comments, we
may use the personal information you provide to respond to your
questions or comments, and we may save your questions or comments for
future reference. However, we will provide you with the option to
change your preferences and “opt-out” of receiving those
communications. You may request at any time that we not e-mail
you in the future by clicking the “unsubscribe” link which is included
at the bottom of any e-mail communication that you receive from us and
hitting send, or by contracting us at unsubscribe@lexiestarrrecipes.com.
When contacting us by e-mail, please insert “UNSUBSCRIBE” in the
subject line and the body of the message. If you unsubscribe, you
should assume that your request has been received and is being
processed. Please allow ten (10) business days from when the
request was received to complete the removal of your e-mail address from
our database as some of our promotions may have been in process before
submitting such request we will make reasonable efforts to discontinue
these e-mail communications as soon as practicable.
CERTAIN THIRD PARTY TRANSACTIONS.
We may disclose personal information to our affiliates,
subsidiaries, partners, contractors and permitted agents who assist us
in providing services in connection with this Site and our
business. For example, when you shop for certain Lexie Starr Recipes products on this Site, you will be redirected to the
lexiekitchen.com
website. Lexiekitchen.com is hosted by a third party and any
information you provide while on the website (signing up for
newsletters and/or purchasing products) will be governed by its privacy
statement (please see the section entitled “Third Party Websites” below
for more information). In addition, we also allow access to our
database by third parties we engage to assist us in providing you
certain other services. We may hire a company to facilitate our
online services or conduct surveys on our behalf. In these
instances, we may need to share your personal information. We
require these companies use your personal information only to provide
that particular product or service and do not authorize them to use
your personal information for any other reason. In addition, if
some or all of the assets of our business are sold to a third party,
such third party will be entitled to use the information disclosed by
users of our Site. Both the personal and non-personal information
that we or other third parties have collected may be transferred as
part of the transaction.
INFORMATION SHARING.
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need
to disclose information as required by law, rule or regulation or where
we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to protect
its rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, as
requested by a governmental or law enforcement authority or other
legal process. This includes exchanging information with other
companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk
reduction. In addition, we reserve the right to use or disclose
non-personal information in any way we see fit.
THIRD PARTY WEBSITES.
Our Site contains links to other websites. Please be aware
that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites
and we do not promote or endorse any such other websites. We
encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site and to read the
privacy statements of every website that collects personally
identifiable information. This Policy applies solely to
information collected by our Site and does not cover information
collected elsewhere, including without limitation on websites linked to
from the Site.
SECURITY.
Our Site has taken reasonable security measures in place to protect
against the loss, misuse and alteration of information under our
control. We safeguard the security of the data you send us with
physical, electronic, and other procedures. However, it is not
possible to guarantee the security or integrity of information
disclosed online. As no data transmission over the Internet is
completely secure, we urge you to take every precaution to protect your
personal data when you are on the Internet. Because no physical
or electronic security is impenetrable, by using the Site, you agree to
assume all risks in connection with the information sent to us or
collected by us when using the Site.
CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS.
Pursuant to California Civil Code section 1798.83, a California
resident who has provided personal information to a business with whom
he/she has established a business relationship has the right to request
from that business certain information regarding whether the business
has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third
parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business
has made such a disclosure of personal information, the business is
required to provide a list of all third parties to whom such personal
information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a
list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed,
upon receipt of a request by a California resident. However,
under the law, a business is not required to provide the
above-described lists if the business adopts and discloses to the
public (in its privacy policy) a policy of not disclosing personal
information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless
the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, as long as
the business maintains and discloses this policy. Rather, the
business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or
her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a
cost free means to exercise that right. As described in our Privacy Policy,
Lexie Starr Recipes does not disclose such personal information to any
third party for its direct marketing purposes without consent.
