This website is owned and operated by Neel-Schaffer MDOT MULTIPLAN.
Here at Neel-Schaffer MDOT MULTIPLAN,
we recognize that many visitors to our site are concerned about the information
they provide to us, and how we treat that information. So we've developed this
Privacy Policy to address those concerns. This Policy relates only to our online
information collection and use practices. We may update this Policy from time
to time, so please check in occasionally.
Types of Information We Collect
At our site, we collect both personally-identifiable information and
aggregate
information. Personally-identifiable information relates to an individual
consumer
- e.g., name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card
number,
etc. We only collect personally-identifiable information from individuals who
provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly, such as by registering at our site,
or by providing name and address information to enter a promotion. We don't
require you to register or provide this information to us in order to view
our site or have access to much of its content.
Aggregate information relates to such things as how many consumers visit
the
site, which pages they access, what they download, the type of web browser
and operating system you use, the name of your Internet Service Provider
(e.g.,
America Online), and so on. When you visit our site, we automatically collect
this information ,and combine it with similar information collected about all
other visitors. By collecting this information, we learn how to best tailor our
website to our visitors.
How Information is Collected
As we noted above, personally-identifiable information is collected from you
directly and with your knowledge. Thus, when you register on the site, we
collect
the information you provide. When you enter a promotion, we collect the
information
needed for you to participate and for us to fulfill our obligations to you.
When you use our Recipe Ratings function, we collect whatever information
you
submit. When you e-mail us, we collect the e-mail address you supply, so that
we can respond.
We also collect aggregate, non-personal information on an ongoing basis
when
you view our website or our interactive advertisements. The collection of this
non-personal information is done either through "cookie" technology or
with "web
beacons" (also called 'single-pixel gifs'), as explained below.
Cookies
Like many companies, we use "cookie" technology on and off of our
website.
Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual's
hard drive for purpose of keeping records. They enhance your online
experience
by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular site. The
cookies do not contain any personally-identifiable information and cannot
profile your system or collect information from your hard drive.
When you view our website or interactive advertisements, we may place
a "cookie" on
your computer. Temporary cookies are used for purposes such as counting
the
number of visits to our sites. These temporary cookies are eliminated when
you exit your browser. A permanent cookie may also be stored on your
computer
by your browser. When you log in, this type of cookie tells us whether you've
visited us before or if you are a new visitor. The cookie doesn't obtain
any personal information about you or provide us with any way to contact
you, and the cookie doesn't extract any information from your computer. We
do use the cookie to help us identify site features in which
you have the greatest interest, so that we can provide more of what you may
want.
The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to
prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser
notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies
altogether.
Remember, though, that cookies allow you to take full advantage of all of
Neel-Schaffer MDOT MULTIPLAN's newest website features, and we
recommend that you leave them
turned on.
Web Beacons
Web beacons are Internet instrumentation that helps us to determine, for
instance, whether a page has been viewed. When you ask us to send you
information
on a promotion or newsletter, we may use web beacons to determine how
many
of the e-mails we sent were actually opened. In general, any electronic
image
viewed as part of a web page, including a banner ad, can act as a web
beacon.
How We Use Your Personal Information
If you specifically agreed to follow-up contacts by us or asked to be put
on our mailing list when you registered, we may contact you from time to
time.
For example, we may send you marketing or promotion materials; we may
respond
to your comments or requests for information; or we may contact you if
needed
in the course of processing a product or service you requested through our
website.
We also use personal information about you to improve our marketing and
promotional
efforts; to statistically analyze website usage; and to improve our features
and content. We may also use your personal information to deliver content
that
is customized to your interests as we best understand them from the
information
you've provided to us and your activities on the site.
We do not collect personal information automatically, but we may combine
non-personal
information collected automatically (through cookies) with your previously
submitted personal information.
Neel-Schaffer MDOT MULTIPLAN's primary goal in collecting personal
information is to give you
a meaningful and customized experience while you are using our websites.
Data Sharing and Transfer
We do not sell, transfer, or disclose the personally-identifiable information
we gather at our websites to third parties without your prior consent. There
are only two exceptions to this rule: (1) We will disclose information in cases
where we believe in good faith that it is necessary to prevent a crime or an
injury to ourselves or third parties; and (2) We disclose information to third
parties who provide support services to us, as described above.
There may be times when we share aggregate information about our
visitors
(for example, the percentage of male and female visitors to our site) with
advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other third parties in an effort
to customize or enhance the content and advertising of our site for our users.
We may also aggregate data from web log files (such as your web browser,
operating
system, pages visited, etc.) to understand how users navigate the site and
what features are most popular.
Links to Other Sites
Neel-Schaffer MDOT MULTIPLAN does its best to make sure that every link
on our website sends
you and/or your kids to a safe place on the Internet. However, websites and
addresses change quickly, and Neel-Schaffer MDOT MULTIPLAN cannot
guarantee the content of every
site to which we provide a link. In addition, different websites have different
privacy policies. You should always check the privacy policy of the specific
site you're visiting to understand your rights.
Choice and Control
You are ultimately in control of the personally-identifiable information you
provide to us on our site. For example, you can always change your
preference
for follow-up contacts just by e-mailing the Online Team at the address listed
below or by changing the information in Your Profile section of the site. Or,
if you prefer, you can cancel your registration altogether and we will take
prompt steps to remove your personally-identifiable information from our
database.
E-mail the Online team at the address listed below if you wish to take this
action.
Important Note to Kids
Before providing your name, address, e-mail address, or any other
personal
information to anyone on the Internet, be sure to ask your parents if it's
OK.
