Alchemycreamery recognizes that many people have concerns about the information they provide online and how companies use that information. This Privacy Policy has been created to address these issues.
By using our website, you signify that you agree with the terms of our current Privacy Policy as posted in this area of the site. If you do not agree with any term in this Policy, please do not provide any personal information on this site.
If you choose not to provide personal information on this site, it is possible that you may not be able to do certain things, like access particular areas of the site or enter a sweepstakes or contest. If you have questions, please send us an e-mail.
Privacy Policies
We do not collect individuals’ personal information on our website unless they voluntarily register or provide the information. No personal information is collected passively. When you register on our website, enter contests or subscribe to e-mail notifications of any kind and indicate permission to do so, your e-mail address is added to our database. This database is used, from time to time, to send you information about news, changes to our website and information regarding new promotional offers and contests.
Please be assured that Alchemycreamery does not share or sell any information that you give us with unauthorized third parties. However, we may partner with third party companies to execute a specific promotion or program. If the information is to be shared with any third party (e.g. promotion partners or other service providers) for the purposes of executing a specific promotion or program, the details will be clearly communicated in the program rules and the third party will have no right to use the information for independent purposes.
Information We Collect and What We Do With It
The content of our website is developed for the enjoyment of family members of all ages. We wish only to provide a fun experience for learning about ice cream, our company and the people who enjoy Alchemycreamery. Access to our website is free and does not require registration. However, some features of our site require that specific information be collected from the user.
Contests may be available on our site. These contests award prizes to contestants who have entered online and have been drawn at random from the pool of entries. The contest entry forms typically require e-mail address, name, address, demographic information and other opinion and product taste preferences.
This information is used to:
- Notify winners
Limit repeat submissions as described by the contest rules
• E-mail contestants about other contests or new site features
• Aggregate contestant responses to questions in each information category
Flavor Ideas and Other Ideas
Please know that anything you transmit to Alchemycreamery is non-confidential and nonproprietary. This means we’re free to use any ideas, concepts or techniques you send for any purpose without compensation to you, including developing, manufacturing and marketing our products. This includes, but isn’t limited to, their reproduction, transmission and publication.
Online Surveys
Alchemycreamery is always concerned about the views and opinions of our customers. From time to time, you’ll find a survey on our website asking a variety of questions. The data and responses collected are kept completely confidential and are used only to help make a better product and better serve you.
Internet Technologies
In addition to the information that you might intentionally enter into our website’s forms, many people are concerned that certain technologies can be used or abused to compromise an individual’s privacy while online. We make no effort to gather information from you without your knowledge. The following topics are included below in order to make available to you our policies regarding two such technologies:
- Cookies
Our website, like most of today’s popular Internet locations, uses cookies to facilitate connections with our website. We do not store information about you in the cookie files we create, nor do we allow a cookie to grant access to your personal data. Our cookie files merely identify you as someone who has visited our site previously and allow you to access our site more easily. In effect, it tells us you’ve registered and that we already have whatever information is necessary in order for you to generate an e-mail or enter a contest. Again, we do not store any personal information in the cookie file. - IP Addresses
The computer that hosts our website records IP addresses only for purposes of activity tracking across days, weeks and months of use. We make no effort to use IP addresses as a means of correlating data from separate interactive sessions with our website or the websites of other companies. - Policy Changes
While it will always remain our policy to produce web content that is appropriate and safe for the whole family and involve parents in the choices their young children make, we will also be introducing new website features and responding to any new concerns about child privacy. These factors will lead to occasional updates of this document. We therefore will keep the currently active version available to the public on our website’s home page.
