Hellman respects your right to privacy. This policy summarizes what personally identifiable information we may collect, and how we might use this information. This policy also describes other important topics relating to your privacy.

Information Collection

Hellman will only collect personally identifiable information (including name, title, company name, address, telephone number, fax number, URL or e-mail address) that you voluntarily provide through our Web site or e-mail correspondence. We will collect general information (such as the type of browser you use, the files you request, and the domain name and country from which you request information) to improve our Web site and better meet your needs.

Use of Information

Before we collect any personally identifiable information, we will provide an explanation for the possible use of your data. Participants are required to provide personal contact information so that Hellman can send them any prizes that they earn. Participants have the option to receive an e-mail newsletter and/or other promotional materials if they desire.

The information you supply will be used by Hellman to respond to your inquiries, supply you with requested information on Hellman products and services, or track issues you report to Hellman and hellman.com. Authorized third parties may be utilized by Hellman to collect, track and process such information. If you have submitted personal information to Hellman electronically and would like it removed or modified, please contact us at solutions@hellman.com. We will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request.

Children and Parents

Hellman does not intend to collect personally identifiable information from children under age 16 without permission of the child's parent or legal guardian. Children under the age of 16 should submit personally identifiable information to Hellman only with the explicit permission of their parent or legal guardian. Where appropriate, Hellman will instruct children not to submit personal information. If your child has submitted personal information and you would like to request that such information be removed, you may do so as indicated above and Hellman will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request.

Other Important Information

The Hellman web site may contain links to other sites. We do not endorse or otherwise accept responsibility for the content or privacy policies of those sites, unless held by Hellman. Hellman.com does not use "cookie" technology to remember your settings. We do, however, utilize session tracking to remember you as being logged in to our site. The advantage to not using "cookie" technology is that we are not saving any information on your computer that might compromise your computer's security. You will not have to worry about accepting cookies - your personal computer's security remains intact.

It may be necessary, if required by law or if pertinent to judicial or governmental investigations, to release your personally identifiable information.

Hellman reserves the right to modify this privacy policy at any time. We will promptly reflect any such modifications in these Web pages.
