We don’t require you to register or provide personal information to view our Site or access much of its content. However, you may be required to provide certain personal information to create a Site account, use certain features, or receive certain offers. For example, when you participate in certain interactive features on our Site, such as product ratings and reviews, you may also provide us with certain information like your e-mail address, nickname, city and state or province of residence, or submit content, such as recipes, ratings, comments, or pictures to the Site.

If you use a third-party login to create your account (such as Facebook Connect or a Google account), sign into our Site or otherwise link to us, we may receive certain information about you from the third party based on your registration and privacy settings on those third-party websites.  

We may also collect certain information about you automatically when you visit the Site (see Information Collected by Automated Means below) and from other sources (see Information Collected from Other Sources below) and may combine this information with the information you provide to us.

When you view the site using a mobile device, in addition to the other information we may collect from your actions, we may collect precise geolocation information where you give permission for us to do so.

We share information that we collect from you, such as your email (in hashed form), IP address or information about your browser or operating system, with our identity partners/service providers, including LiveRamp Inc.

In addition, we may share your email address with our service providers, such as media agencies, to send you interest-based advertising on our behalf.

If you wish to stop receiving advertising messages from these third parties, please review the “Your Choices” section below. In addition, you may be able to opt out of these ads by clicking on an icon in the ad or through the privacy settings in each social media platform.

We may conduct joint promotions with other companies. We may provide to our promotional partners (and their service providers) certain personal information as necessary to conduct the promotion. We will not share this information with our promotional partners for any other purpose unless you consent to such sharing.

During the normal course of our business, we may sell or purchase assets. If another entity acquires us or any of our assets, information we have collected about you may be transferred to such entity. In addition, if any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is brought by or against us, such information may be considered an asset of ours and may be sold or transferred to third parties. Should a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to require that the transferee use personal information provided through the Site in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice.
