We also sometimes receive updated delivery and address information from our partners or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver products, services, or communications more easily.
Our Use of Your Information.
We use information in the file we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on MyFreshEgg.com. By visiting our site, you agree that we may use personally identifiable information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to analyze site usage, improve our content and product offerings, and customize MyFreshEgg.com's content, layout, and services.
Does MYFRESHEGG.COM Disclose the Information It Receives?
As a matter of current policy, we do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information about you to any third party. Except as otherwise noted in this policy, MyFreshEgg.com only discloses user information in aggregate form to its partners. For example, we might tell a marketing partner how many users visited this site over a period of time, but we will never tell them who it was that saw or clicked on their offer, unless that user has given us permission to do so. However, the following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable information may be disclosed.
Business Partners and Selected Vendors We Do Not Control.
We work closely with certain business partners, carefully selected vendors and other service providers to provide you with access to their promotions, contests, product offerings or services. We may share our data, including personally identifiable information about you, with these business partners or selected vendors, and they may use this information to offer you products and/or services that may be of interest to you. To the extent hyperlinks or banner advertisements incorporating hyperlinks are utilized on this site to access third party sites, users should be aware that these third party web sites are not controlled by MyFreshEgg.com and, therefore, are not subject to this privacy policy. We recommend that users check the privacy policies of these individual sites to see how their personal information will be utilized. If you choose to access the third party sites, disclose information to third parties, place orders from the third parties, and/or grant them permission to collect information about you, then their use of your information is governed by their applicable privacy policies. To prevent our disclosure of your personally identifiable information to one of these third parties, you can choose not to use their services or order their products. Because we do not control the privacy practices of these third parties, you should evaluate their practices before deciding to use their services or place orders with them for their products.
Agents.
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, performing credit checks and approvals, processing credit card payments, collecting on delinquent accounts and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Business Transfers.
As we continue to develop our business, we might buy the online and/or off-line retail operations of others. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that MyFreshEgg.com or substantially all of its assets are acquired by or transferred to another entity, customer information would likely be one of the transferred assets.
Government and Legal Disclosures of Your Information.
We may disclose information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we believe necessary in connection with an investigation of illegal activity that may expose you or us to legal liability. In addition, if you have purchased services from us on extended payment terms, it may be necessary for us to file certain information about you with state or local government offices to perfect our security interest in the products so purchased, or to provide certain information about you to collection agencies in the event of non-payment or a payment dispute.
Links to and from Other Web Sites.
MyFreshEgg.com offers links to other Web sites, which have their own policies regarding privacy. In addition, you may have linked to MyFreshEgg.com through another site, such as by means of a banner advertisement for MyFreshEgg.com on that other site. In such cases, the site you linked from may have collected information about you. Please refer to the privacy policies on those sites to see how they collect and use this information.
What Choices Do You Have?
You can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of other MyFreshEgg.com features. MyFreshEgg.com does not currently offer the ability to delete, correct or change the information collected through your use of the MyFreshEgg.com website.
Electronic Newsletters and E-Mails
MyFreshEgg.com, in conjunction with various partners, offers or may offer free electronic newsletters as a service to our users. In addition, MyFreshEgg.com may periodically send you information and product or service promotions via e-mail.
Security
MyFreshEgg.com uses industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information, including "firewalls" and Secure Socket Layers (SSL). MyFreshEgg.com treats data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the company. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your computer.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
MyFreshEgg.com encourages parents and guardians to be familiar with the web sites that their children visit. The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") regulates the means by which web site operators collect and use personal information from children under 13, pursuant to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (the "Act").
