PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: March 15,
2008
GoodFoodBusiness.com
strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet
technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail
address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of
this privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email
address to any unauthorized third party. Period.
How we gather
information from users
How we collect and
store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities
in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For
example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for
access to certain portions of our site or request certain features,
such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide
information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message
boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like
most Web sites, GoodFoodBusiness.com also collects information
automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be
transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your
Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you
and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie
may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to
re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the
number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while
visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also
gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can
choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your
browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable
to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter
your user name and password, and we may not be able to customize the
site's features according to your preferences.
What we do with the
information we collect
Like other Web
publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver
more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy
and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information
(information that does not personally identify you) may be used in
many ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage
patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help
enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited
most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may
occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners.
Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable
Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally
Identifiable Information collected on GoodFoodBusiness.com to
communicate with you about your registration and customization
preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and
products offered by GoodFoodBusiness.com and other topics we think you
might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable
Information collected by GoodFoodBusiness.com may also be used for
other purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration
of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with you.
Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation
of our site (our Web hosting service for example) may access such
information. We will use your information only as permitted by law. In
addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we
may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In
such transactions, user information may be among the transferred
assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court
order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do
so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to
us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with
notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites,
linked sites and advertisements
GoodFoodBusiness.com
expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect the
privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including
our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers
accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data
collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit to
our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a
GoodFoodBusiness.com page, certain content that is actually created or
hosted by a third party. Also, through GoodFoodBusiness.com you may be
introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features,
contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. GoodFoodBusiness.com
is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties.
You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third
parties when providing information on a feature or page operated by a
third party.
While on our site, our
advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may place and
read cookies on your browser or use web beacons or other technology to
attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information
about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third
parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to
determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before.
Other features available on our site may offer services operated by
third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather
information. GoodFoodBusiness.com does not control the use of this
technology by third parties or the resulting information, and is not
responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be
aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable
Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can
be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by third parties
without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from
other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the
control of GoodFoodBusiness.com and this policy.

Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted by
