This Privacy Policy sets forth how we collect, store, and use the personal information you provide through any of the Web sites operated by us, including the Web site you are currently visiting. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy before you submit any personal information on our Web sites. 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 Web site, 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 Web site or submit any personal information.
Types of Information Collected
We do not ask you to provide any personal information to simply browse our Web sites. If you wish, however, to participate in some of the features and services the Butterball Web sites 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.
Cookies and Other Software
We may use cookies to improve the use and functionality of our Web sites. 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. This site may use cookies 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. We may use software that enables us to count visitors to our Web sites in order to gauge traffic to our Web sites and that informs us whether a visitor is new to our Web site or has previously visited the Web site.
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, 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. We never 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, although 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.
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 Web sites, 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 Web sites, 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 small text files known as cookies. We use cookies for several purposes, such as to recognize visitors to our Web sites, to determine the number of unique visitors to our Web sites, and to ascertain which site pages they visit. You are always free to decline cookies, but in doing so your child may not be able to use certain features on our Web sites. 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.
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.

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.
