Information Collection and Use
Quality Home Foods is the sole owner of the information collected
on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information
to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.
Quality Home Foods collects information from our users at several
different points on our web site.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no
way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our
site. In most cases, when the user closes their browser, the cookie
simply terminates. The user controls and therefore may reject a
cookie. When rejecting a cookie, the user may still browse our site,
the only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some
areas of our site. For example, the user may not be able to place
a Reorder, or participate in any of our Sweepstakes or Contests
that take place. Cookies can also enable us to track and target
the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information
for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable
information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners
and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information
that can identify any individual person.
We use an outside credit card processing company to bill users
for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store
or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
We partner with another party to provide specific services. When
the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other
contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide
these services.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information
except for the purpose of providing services.
Links
This web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware
that we at Quality Home Foods are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware
when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each
and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by
this web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact
information such as name and email address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via
surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests
is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether
or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include
contact information (such as name, address, phone and email), and
demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information
will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information
will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and
satisfaction of this site.
Security
This web site takes every precaution to protect our users’
information. When users submit sensitive information via the web
site, your information is protected both online and off-line.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online,
we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line.
All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information
mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who
need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our
billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted
access to personally identifiable information. ALL employees are
kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
Special Offers
Established members will occasionally receive information on products,
services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the
privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these
types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such
as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we
will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that
user’s personal data provided to us. This can usually be done
by emailing our Customer Support department at service@qualityhomefoods.com.
Choice/Opt-out
When necessary, our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’
of having their information used for purposes not directly related
to our web site.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional
materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications
by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email
us at service@qualityhomefoods.com.
Users of our site are always notified when their information is
being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users
can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with
services that require an outside party, or not.
Quality Home Foods Privacy Policy Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
on our web site so our users are always aware of what information
we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose
it.
