What is a Personal Information?
Personal information is information about you that uniquely identifies you as an individual. Your name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number are all examples of personal information. However, the name, address and telephone number of an individual that appears in a telephone directory that is available to the public (where such an individual can refuse to have such information appear in such directory) does not fall under the scope of “personal information” as it is publicly available information. Also, in some circumstances, some of this information may qualify as business information which is not covered by this Statement.
Collection of Personal Information
We do not automatically gather any personal information from users of Eatintact Websites. Personal information is only obtained online if you supply it voluntarily, usually through contacting us via e-mail, applying online for a contest, answering online surveys, submitting a posting to a blog, or forum, or reviewing or registering for services. You are not required to supply personal information to view the content of any Eatintact website. You should also be aware that when you share personal information in public areas of Eatintact Websites, this information may be seen and used by other users. We urge you to exercise good judgment when sharing personal information in these areas.
If you decide not to provide us with personal information online, no material consequences will result, although you may be unable to participate in certain promotions, receive product information, or use portions of EatintactWebsite that require personalized information or applications. EatintactWebsites provides users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us at the point where we request contact information about you.

We may use software that receives and records the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer that has contacted EatintactWebsites. We make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting EatintactWebsites.
We may also use service providers to serve third parties advertisements on EatintactWebsites or Eatintactadvertisements on other websites. In serving advertisements, these providers may place cookies on your browser computer and may collect certain anonymous information about your visits to other websites or on EatintactWebsites. This information may include browser type, IP address, domain name and the name of the web page from which you entered such websites, web activity and time of day. This information is used by these third parties to better understand and optimize the online advertising campaigns.
From time to time, we analyze traffic and use EatintactWebsites to determine which features and services people like and do not like so that we can improve what we do. We prepare aggregated user statistics or information summaries in order to describe our services to third parties such as prospective business partners and advertisers and for other lawful purposes.
Use and Sharing of Personal Information
We will generally collect and use personal information to administer our contests, promotions, surveys, reward programs and other services, to understand our customers’ responses, needs and preferences, and to generally manage our business.

Personal information may be shared with our agents or contractors in connection with services that they perform for us. Our written agreements with such agents and contractors ensure that personal information can only be used for the purposes for which it was shared with them and that they handle the personal information in accordance with this Statement. Some of our agents and contractors are located outside of USA and, as such, are subject to foreign laws, including laws that may require disclosure of personal information to government agencies in those countries.
