Introduction
Your privacy is important to us. Butterball, LLC (“Butterball”) has developed and implemented this Privacy Policy to address your concerns about how your personal information is collected, maintained and used by Butterball®. This Privacy Policy sets forth how we collect, store, and use the personal information you provide through any of the websites operated by us, including the website you are currently visiting. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy before you submit any personal information on our websites. Please also review our Privacy Policy from time to time as we may update or change this Privacy Policy at any time for any reason without notice to you. By using this website, you signify your assent to all of the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions of Use. If you do not agree with any term of this Privacy Policy or the Terms and Conditions of Use, please do not use this website or submit any personal information.
This Butterball Internet Privacy Policy is currently applicable only to our United States customers and visitors to our website. As we develop websites for international audiences, they will feature their own additional rules and practices, which are fully consistent with this statement, and which may be modified as needed for particular products and services, or to conform to local laws or customs around the world.
Types of Information Collected
We do not ask you to provide any personal information to simply browse our websites. If you wish, however, to participate in some of the features and services the Butterball websites may offer, we may ask you to provide certain personal and/or demographic information. Personal information (as used in this Privacy Policy) means any information that can be used to personally identify you or contact you online or offline. For example, this information may include your name, mailing address, e-mail address, or phone number (“personally identifiable information”), as well as other non-personally identifiable information or demographic information such as your age, gender, habits, or preferences when such information is tied to your personally identifiable information (collectively, “personal information”). We do not collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it to us.
How Personal Information Is Used
We may use personal information to communicate directly with visitors and users, such as to respond to inquiries, to inform users and visitors when they have won a contest, to fulfill a request for an online newsletter or other online subscription service, to enforce the legal terms that govern your use of our sites, or to offer additional information about other products, programs, services, promotions, or offers that may be of interest if you have given us permission to do so.
If you choose to submit content for publication (e.g., posting a recipe, review, or photograph or posting to a blog or a discussion board), we may publish your screen name and other information you have provided to us. The information we collect in connection with our online forums and communities is used to provide an interactive experience. We use this information to facilitate participation in these online forums and communities and, from time to time, to offer you products, programs, or services.
If you choose to participate in a contest, sweepstakes, or promotion, we may use your name and likeness for purposes of advertising and trade without further compensation, unless prohibited by law. In addition, we may use your personal information from the entry form for internal marketing analyses and to provide you with information from time to time about other products, programs, services, promotions, or offers that may be of interest if you.
We do not rent, sell, or otherwise share personal information with third parties unless we have notified you that we intend to do so and have provided you with an opportunity to opt in by giving us permission to do so. However, we may have to disclose personal information without your consent in response to legal requests such as court orders, subpoenas, and specific requests from law enforcement agencies. Notwithstanding the above, we reserve the right to transfer any information, including personal information, in the event all or a portion of the business or assets of Butterball are sold or transferred. In that event, we will use reasonable efforts to require that the transferee use this personal information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.
We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our sites, to deliver more relevant marketing messages and advertisements, and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this information to analyze usage of our sites, as well as to offer you products, programs, or services.
Cookies and Other Software
We may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to improve the use and functionality of our websites. A cookie is a small data file sent to your browser from a Web server to be stored on your hard drive that allows easier access the next time the same page is visited. We use cookies for several purposes, such as to recognize visitors to our websites, to determine the number of unique visitors to our websites, to ascertain which site pages they visit, and to store information from forms you fill out to create a user profile so that you do not have to re-enter the information each time you visit. Your browser likely can be set to notify you whenever a cookie is received so that you can decide whether to accept it, but your ability to use this site may be impaired if you do not accept cookies from us. The “help” segment of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to configure your browser to not accept new cookies, how to have the browser inform you when you receive a new cookie, and how to erase cookies from your hard drive.
A web beacon is an electronic image, also known as a pixel tag or a clear GIF. Web beacons can recognize certain types of information about a visitor to a site page, such as a visitor's IP address, a description of the page where the web beacon is placed, and the time, date, and length of a page view. You may render some web beacons unusable by rejecting their associated cookies.
Opting Out
If you do not wish to receive future offers, notices, text messages, emails, or other mailings from Butterball, please follow the "opt-out" instructions that are generally located at the bottom of any emails from Butterball to you or edit your profile and preferences by logging into Butterball.com. You can also "opt-out" or "unsubscribe" at any time by writing to Butterball Consumer Affairs at Butterball, LLC, P.O. Box 1547, Kings Mountain, NC 28086. Be sure to provide your name, email and postal address and specific information about the Butterball information or subscription(s) that you no longer wish to receive. Please allow a few days for Butterball to process your request. If you "opt out" of receiving further promotional materials or notices, the only communications you will receive from Butterball will be about transactions that you initiate. By opting-out, residual information may nonetheless remain in our database and other records, which may not be permanently deleted.
Children’s Online Privacy
We take the issue of children’s online privacy seriously and we do not specifically collect personal information about children under the age of 13. Children under the age of 13 should not submit any personal information to Butterball, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 online. On our websites, users are told that they must be 13 years of age or older before submitting personal information to Butterball and mechanisms are in place to prevent children from submitting personal information to Butterball. If we determine upon collection that a user is under 13, we will not use or maintain his or her personal information. However, in certain circumstances, we may keep a record of such information (in accordance with the rest of this Privacy Policy and applicable law) for certain safety, security, liability, and other purposes permitted under applicable law.
We may offer children fun and entertaining features on the Butterball websites, such as games and screen savers, which do not require children to provide any personal information to enjoy. In using these features, however, Butterball may collect certain nonpersonal information from children by using cookies, as described in more detail above.
Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Non-U.S. Visitors
We have no intention of collecting personal information from non-U.S. visitors through our websites. This Privacy Policy is intended to meet the laws and requirements of the United States, which may not necessarily be consistent with or as comprehensive as the laws and regulations of your home country. If you are located outside of the United States, please be advised that any information you provide to us will be transferred to the United States and that by submitting information, you explicitly authorize its transfer.
Third-Party Websites
We cannot control and are not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of any third party websites, including any and all linked sites or third-party sites referenced in our websites. We have no control over the privacy practices or the content of such websites, and we recommend that you carefully review the privacy policy of each website that you visit.
Updates
We reserve the right to make changes to our Privacy Policy from time to time for any reason. Such changes, modifications, additions, or deletions shall be effective immediately upon posting unless otherwise indicated. We have no duty or obligation to inform prior visitors that changes have been made, regardless of the scope and importance of the changes. We encourage you to periodically check back and review this policy so that you always know what information we collect, how we use it, and to whom we disclose it. Your continued use of this website after such changes are posted will be deemed to constitute your agreement to and acceptance of such changes.
