PRIVACY POLICY

TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

CONTEST & SWEEPSTAKES

Our site sometimes includes notices of promotions we are conducting, and we may permit you to enter electronically in some cases. If that occurs, we will use the information you provide for the purpose of conducting the promotion (e.g., to contact you if you’re a winner). Within a reasonable time after the conclusion of the promotion, the personal information will be deleted from our database, unless you’ve agreed to permit us to keep it and use it to contact you again.

QUESTIONNAIRES & SURVEYS

We may occasionally ask visitors to complete surveys and opinion polls about their attitudes and interests. Surveys help us to understand your needs. If sample answers to surveys are posted on the website site, no personally identifiable information will be included. If you participate in one of our surveys, you can be assured that we do not maintain any personal information about you in our databases as a result of the survey.

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.

When you use our Recipe function, we collect whatever information you submit, whether it’s in the form comments that explain your opinions about a recipe or how to prepare it. Please remember that when you post your comments they are publicly available, so you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose anything personal about yourself. We will not display comments that include personally identifying information.

In the e-mail section of our site, we ask for some personally-identifiable information, such as your name and phone number. We use this information only if we need to contact you directly because our attempts to contact you by e-mail were unsuccessful. We don’t use your e-mail address for any purpose other than responding to the message you’ve sent, unless we have your permission.

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. This customized content may include such things as recipes, banners, product information, and promotions. We do not collect personal information automatically, but we may combine non-personal information collected automatically with your previously submitted personal information.

THIRD PARTIES WHO PROVIDE SUPPORT SERVICES TO KEMPS LLC

In the course of doing business, we employ other companies and individuals to perform a variety of functions on our behalf. For example, we hire agencies to help administer consumer promotions, to analyze data, to fulfill orders you place, and to provide customer service. These agents may have access to personal information if it is needed to perform their functions for Kemps; however, they are prohibited from using it for other purposes and they are required to maintain the information in confidence.

DATA SHARING & 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

Kemps LLC 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 Kemps LLC 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 & 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 calling our 1-800 number as mentioned on the About Kemps.

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.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY POLICY

Some portions of our website are directed in whole or in part to kids under 13. In these areas of our website, our conduct is governed by federal law and regulations that address children’s online privacy, as well as by the guidelines of the Children’s Advertising Review Unit (CARU), a part of the Council of Better Business Bureaus.

We do not directly collect personally identifiable information from kids under 13 in the child-directed areas of our website, except as permitted by federal regulations and CARU guidelines. We do sometimes offer promotions in these areas of our website, such as a sweepstakes or contest. In those cases, we may permit the child to enter by submitting a first name and e-mail address only, along with the name and e-mail address of his/her parent. We then would notify the parent about the child’s entry, and offer the parent an opportunity to withdraw the entry and remove the submitted information from our database. If the parent permits the child’s participation in the promotion and the child wins, we contact the parent (not the child) for further personal information needed for any prize delivery. We do not use the child’s personal information for any purpose other than completion of the promotion, and we do not share the information with third parties (other than support service companies as described above), unless we’ve explicitly said so in the notice to parents. We delete both the child’s and the parent’s personal information from our database within a reasonable time after the conclusion of these promotions, unless the parent has given permission for us to retain the information in our files.

Under federal law, websites directed to children under 13 are prohibited from conditioning a child’s participation in an activity on the child’s disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary to engage in the activity. We comply fully with this requirement.

Upon proper identification, any parent can review any personal information we have collected from their child, if we are still maintaining the information in our operational database. They may also request that the information be deleted from our database, and refuse to permit further collection or use of their child’s information. If you are a parent and wish to exercise these rights, please contact Kemps LLC as described below.
