Personally Identifiable Information

We collect personally identifiable information, including your name, postal address, telephone number and e-mail address. Sargento only collects your personally identifiable information when you provide it voluntarily, such as when you register at this Web site or sign up for special promotions. You are not required to register in order to visit this Web site or access most content, including Recipe Central. However, by registering, you will have access to certain additional features, such as “My Recipe Box” and our money-saving e-mail promotions. We do not collect personally identifiable information automatically, but we may combine non-personal information collected through cookies, such as the pages you regularly visit on this Web site, with your previously submitted personally identifiable information. Among other uses, we use personally identifiable information to improve our promotional efforts, to analyze Web site use, to improve our Web site, and to deliver customized content based on the information you’ve provided and your activities on this Web site.

Personally Identifiable Information is Collected in These Areas:

• Site Registration
• Monthly E-Mail Newsletter Sign-Up
• Special Promotional Offers
• Sweepstakes and Contests
• Talk To Us

Aggregate Information

We also collect non-personally identifiable or aggregate information, such as how many consumers visit the site, what pages are accessed and which browsers or operating systems are used. We collect aggregate information automatically and primarily use it to provide an enhanced online experience for visitors.
Aggregate information generally is collected using “cookie” technology. A “cookie” is a small data file which is stored in a single directory on the hard drive of your computer.
Cookies help us identify site features and items of interest to you, so we can provide more of what you want. Cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information and cannot profile your system or collect information from your hard drive.
The “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers should tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies or how to disable cookies.
But remember, cookies allow you to take advantage of all the features on the Sargento Web site, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.

How We Use Your Information

In the “Contact Us” section of our site, we ask for personally identifiable information such as your name, postal address, e-mail address or phone number if you have a request, question or comment about a Sargento product, offer or recipe. We don’t use that personally identifiable information for any purpose other than responding to the message you’ve sent unless we have your permission.
If you request to be put on our postal or e-mail mailing lists, we will notify you of special promotions, including our monthly e-mail flyer.
