In addition to ferrerousa.com, Ferrero U.S.A., Inc. (“Ferrero”, “we” or us”) operates several web sites to inform consumers about our brands, specifically tictacusa.com, ferrerochocolatesusa.com and nutellausa.com (the “Site”). Out of concern for every visitor's privacy, we want you to know what information we may collect and why. The following policy discloses our practices for the collection and use of information solely in connection with the Site. By using or accessing the Site, you signify your assent to our Privacy Policy.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THE SITE. THIS SITE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF USE.
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL AND NON PERSONAL INFORMATION
When using the Site, in order to utilize some of the services you may be asked to provide, or you may choose to upload, certain personally identifiable information about yourself ("PII"). Personal Information can include your name, email address, physical address, and telephone number.
If you choose not to disclose PII, you can still enjoy other areas of the Site without supplying any PII.
In addition, we may also collect non-personally identifiable information, such as your usage of the Service, IP host address, pages viewed, browser type, personal computer setting and other data, and may aggregate any information collected in a manner which does not identify any individual ("Non-PII"). In this connection we may use information files called cookies that your browser stores on your computer. It is possible to reset your browser so that it notifies you of an incoming cookie or refuses to accept it.
INFORMATION USAGE:
We do not sell your Personal Information to third parties or mass marketers. For example, we will not sell another company your name or email address. Unless you consent to the disclosure of your PII, only we and our affiliates, our technical consultants, third party auditors and other third parties who make our Site available, enhance its functionality, or provide associated services, have access to this information.
Please note that we reserve the right to and may disclose PII about you in response to (a) requests from local, state or federal law enforcement officials; (b) any judicial, administrative or similar proceeding or order, such as subpoena; (c) if required by law; or (d) to investigate suspected fraud, harassment, physical threats, or other violations of any law, rule or regulation, the Site rules or policies, or the rights of third parties or to investigate any suspected conduct which we deem improper. Please also note that we do reserve the right to transfer your personally identifiable information and other information to our successors in business and purchasers of Site assets.
FORWARD TO A FRIEND (SEND–TO-A-FRIEND)
We may give you the opportunity to tell your friends about features on our Site. If you take advantage of our Forward to a Friend or E-Card option, we may ask you for your friends' and your first name and e-mail address. We use the information you provide only to transmit the e-mail you requested we forward. We do not endorse the email’s content in any way and will not be held liable or responsible for its content.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Some of the activities on our Site may provide links to other sites. While we do our best to send you only to sites that are compatible with the image of our brands, we can't make any guarantees about the content of linked sites because sites and addresses may change without prior notice. As soon as we become aware of such changes, we will of course remove links that no longer meet our approval.
PROTECTION FOR CHILDREN
We have no intention of collecting personal information from children under the age of 13. When we become aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected without such child’s parent or guardian’s consent, we will use all reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database. |
SECURITY PRACTICES
The security of your PII is very important to us. We have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect. However, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and us or information stored on the Service or our servers, will be completely free from unauthorized access by third parties such as hackers and your use of the Service demonstrates your assumption of this risk.
United States of America
The Site is maintained in the United States of America. By using the Site, you authorize the export of PII to the USA and its storage and use as specified in this policy.
This statement is updated periodically. If you have questions or concerns about Privacy on our Web sites, please contact us at Ferrero U.S.A., Inc. at 600 Cottontail Lane, Somerset, NJ 08873.
