YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS:
The EATS Media Interactive, LLC business ("EATS.com") has created this privacy
policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting your profile
information and informing you about how we handle it. This privacy policy only
applies to transactions and activities in which you engage ("Transactions"),
and data gathered, on the EATS.com web site (the "Site") and does not apply to
any other web site or offline point of contact between EATS.com, or any other
company, and consumers. Please review this privacy policy periodically as we
may modify it from time to time. This privacy policy was last revised on
November, 2005. Each time you visit the Site or provide us with information, by
doing so you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at
that time.
Your IP Address
Like most e-commerce websites, each time you visit the Site, we automatically
collect your IP address and the web page from which you came. In order to
administer and optimize the Site for you and to diagnose problems with our
Site, we use your IP address to help identify you and to gather broad
demographic information about you.
Cookies
Like most websites, the Site uses cookies to keep track of your
purchases and other activity on the Site and enhance your experience on the
Site. We also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, to
save your password, and if you choose, to save other personal and financial
information so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the Site.
Third parties that advertise on the Site may also place cookies on your
browser. If you wish to disable these cookies, the "help" portion of the
toolbar on most browsers will tell you how. However, if you set your browser to
disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas or features of the
Site.
Information We Collect From You
In order to operate the Site and provide you with information on products and
services that may be of interest to you, we may collect profile information
(i.e. information that could be used to contact you such as full name, postal
address, phone number and email address), financial information (e.g. passwords
and credit card numbers), demographic information (e.g. zip code, hometown,
gender, purchase history information and age), public information such as user
ratings and reviews and a user name from you. Please note that nowhere on the
Site do we knowingly collect profile information from children under the age of
13. The Site also provides you with the opportunity to save, in a personal
account, restaurant menus, ordered food items, and other information you view
on the Site. A collection of such listings and other information that is so
saved in a personal account is referred to elsewhere in this privacy policy as
"Saved Listings."
Information Other Web Sites Collect From You
On the Site, we place links to other web sites operated by other parties. Some
of these other web sites contain our brand names and trademarks and other
intellectual property that we own; others do not. When you click on these links
and visit these other web sites, regardless of whether or not they contain our
brand names, trademarks and other intellectual property, you need to be aware
that we do not control these other web sites or these other web sites' business
practices, and that this privacy policy does not apply to these other web
sites. Consequently, the operators of these other web sites may collect
different kinds of information about you, and may use and disclose that
information in different ways than we would if it were collected on the Site.
We encourage you to review their privacy policies and remind you that we will
not be responsible for their actions.
How We Use Personal Information
We use your profile information to help us efficiently perform Transactions on
the Site, to contact you when necessary in connection with Transactions, and to
send you information, offers and other promotional materials for EATS.com or
third parties' goods or services. We carefully select the information we send
to you and attempt to send you offers that are of value to you, such as
discounts, exclusive offers or special information.
To process Transactions on the Site, we may share your profile information with
our agents, representatives, contractors and service providers so they can
provide us with support services such as authorization of credit card
transactions, order fulfillment and sweepstakes and promotional fulfillment. We
require these entities not to use your information for any other purpose.
By purchasing or making reservations for products or services, electing to
receive communications (such as emails or magazine subscriptions), or electing
to participate in contests, sweepstakes, or other programs (such as discount or
rewards programs), offered by third parties on the Site, you consent to our
providing your profile information to those third parties. Those third parties
may use your personal information in accordance with their own privacy
policies. You will need to contact those third parties to instruct them
directly regarding your preferences for the use of your personal information by
them. Additionally, you agree that we will have the right to use and disclose
all such information you submit in the same manner in which we use and disclose
all other information you submit.
Your profile information may be passed on to a third party in the event of a
transfer of ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy, of EATS.com. We may also
disclose specific information when we determine that such disclosure is
necessary to comply with applicable law, to cooperate with law enforcement or
to protect the interests or safety of EATS.com or other visitors to the Site.
We also may disclose your profile information to our subsidiary and parent
companies and businesses, and other affiliated legal entities and businesses
with whom we are under common corporate control. However, all of these parent,
subsidiary and affiliated legal entities and businesses that receive your
profile information from us will comply with the terms of this privacy policy
with respect to their use and disclosure of such profile information.
Any third party with whom we are allowed to share your profile information is
authorized to use your profile information in accordance with our contractual
arrangements with such third parties and in accordance with their own privacy
policies, over which we have no control, and you agree that we are not
responsible or liable for any of their actions or omissions. Those who contact
you will need to be instructed directly by you regarding your preferences for
the use of your profile information by them.
Please read the information below under the heading "How We Use Public
Information, Reviews, Ratings and User Names" to learn how we may make some of
your profile information accessible to the public via the Site or via other
means.
How We Use Demographic Information and Saved Listings
We use demographic information and Saved Listings to tailor the Site and
communications to the interests of our users. We may share demographic
information and Saved Listings with advertisers and other third parties
("Sponsors") so that they can tailor their advertisements and communications to
the appropriate audience. If you consent to have us share your profile
information as described above, then the demographic information and Saved
Listings that we provide to Sponsors may be linked to your profile information
so that Sponsors will be able to know about your demographic information and
will also know what your Saved Listings are. If you do not consent to have us
share your profile information as described above, then we will only provide
your demographic information and Saved Listings to Sponsors on an anonymous and
aggregated basis.
How We Use Public Information, Reviews, Ratings and User Names
When you register on the Site, you must enter a user name. You will also be
given the chance to designate certain of your profile information and other
information as "public" or "private." You may change these public/private
designations in the Edit My Profile section of the Site. The Site provides you
with the opportunity to give user reviews and ratings for restaurants, hotels,
bars, events and other items. Your user name and public information may appear
next to your user reviews and ratings as they are posted on the Site. Your user
name and public information may also appear on a User Profile section of the
Site. Please note that if you designate your email address as "public"
information, then other Site visitors may see your email address and send you
emails. We may also use and disclose your user name, public information and
reviews and ratings in any other manner. To read further details about how we
may use your user name, public information and reviews, see our TERMS.
