Privacy Policy
Domino® Sugar recognizes that many consumers who visit its Web sites are concerned about any information they provide on-line and how such information is maintained and used. To address these concerns and to demonstrate Domino® Sugar's commitment to privacy, especially for children who visit its sites, Domino® Sugar has developed and implemented this Privacy Policy. As this policy may change from time to time, you are encouraged to periodically check it.

1. Information Collection and Use:

Domino® Sugar only collects personally identifiable information on a voluntary basis. It does not require that you provide this information to gain access to its sites and does not require you to disclose more information than is reasonably needed to participate in an activity on its sites. Domino® Sugar collects personally identifiable information primarily to e-mail updates and news, for entry into promotions and to notify subsequent winners, to send out brochures, etc. via regular mail to subscribers, and to respond to your questions or suggestions. It does not transfer or disclose any information it gathers at this site to anyone outside of Domino® Sugar without your prior consent, except In cases where it believes in good faith that it has a legal obligation to disclose such information, and to certain suppliers that assist Domino® Sugar in maintaining and managing the activities on its Web sites, including, for example, fulfillment of prizes awarded in connection with an online game. Please be assured that these suppliers are legally obligated to maintain the confidentiality of this information and do not acquire any rights to use your information for their own benefit. Domino® Sugar may share non-identifiable aggregate information about site users (for example, the % of male and female visitors to its sites) with advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other third parties in an effort to customize or enhance the content and advertising on its sites for its users.

Domino® Sugar reserves the right, in connection with the potential sale or transfer of the interests of Domino® Sugar, to sell or transfer your information (including but not limited to your address, name, age, gender, zip code, state, and country of residency and other information that you provide through other communications) to a third party entity that concentrates its business in a similar practice or service, agrees to be Domino® Sugar's successor in interest with regard to the maintenance and protection of the information collected, and agrees to the obligations of this privacy policy.

2. Usage Data:
You should be aware that when you visit this site, Domino® Sugar collects certain information that does not identify you personally, but provides it with "usage data". Domino® Sugar uses this information to create summary statistics and to determine the level of interest in information available on this site. Such non-identifying information includes: domain name (i.e. "aol.com" if you are using America Online), date and time this site was accessed, city and state where your domain name is registered, any keywords you may have used in a search engine to find Domino® Sugar, the browser used to find Domino® Sugar, and the Internet address of the Web site from which you linked directly to the site.

3. Promotions:
Domino® Sugar sites frequently include notices for contests and sweepstakes being conducted. For those contests and sweepstakes where you are permitted to enter electronically, Domino® Sugar will use the information that you provide only for the purposes of conducting the promotion (e.g., to contact you if you are a winner). Domino® Sugar does not share this information with anyone outside of Domino® Sugar except for suppliers who assist it in conducting the promotion and who are legally obligated to maintain the confidentiality of any information Domino® Sugar provides to them.

4. Children and Privacy:
In communicating directly with children over the Internet, Domino® Sugar recognizes the unique issues raised about the protection of their privacy. Domino® Sugar Web sites that appeal to children, such as www.dominoland.com , are designed to comply with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU) guidelines for Web sites gathering personally identifiable information from children under 13. Consistent with these requirements and guidelines, Domino® Sugar does NOT: collect, use or disclose online contact information from children except in connection with online promotions, discussed more fully below. Without prior parental consent, such online contact information will only be used to respond directly to the child's request and will not be used for other purposes. Domino® Sugar also does NOT: collect personally identifiable offline contact information unless for purposes of awarding prizes and only then with prior parental consent, distribute to third parties any personally identifiable information without prior parental consent, enable children to publicly post or otherwise distribute personally identifiable contact information without prior parental consent, or entice children by the prospect of a special game, prize or other activity, to divulge more information than is needed to participate in the activity.

Domino® Sugar does offer promotions (e.g., contests, sweepstakes) on its Web sites that appeal to children. In those cases where children under the age of 13 are allowed to participate, the child is instructed to first obtain his/her parent's or legal guardian's consent to participate and to enter the e-mail address of his/her parent or guardian. If the game or contest involves the posting of screen names of the high scorers, Domino® Sugar only allows high scorers who are under 13 to select a generic screen name from a list that has been developed in advance so as to prevent the disclosure of any personally identifiable information. If a child under 13 is selected as a prize-winner, an e-mail is sent to the parent or guardian. This e-mail contains a form that requests the child's complete name and address and a parental permission form. For the child to receive the prize, the parent or guardian must first fill out and sign the form and then mail or fax it to the address or number indicated on the form. Domino® Sugar does not use the information collected on the form for any purpose other than the completion of the promotion and does not share the information with anyone outside of Domino® Sugar (other than suppliers, as explained above) unless it has explicitly advised parents to the contrary in the parental notice.

Domino® Sugar may permit a child to send it an e-mail or send an e-mail to a friend through its sites. Domino® Sugar will respond to or deliver the e-mail, as the case may be, but it does not store the names, addresses, or the e-mails in its operational database, nor does it share this information with any third parties.

As a parent, you can always ask to review any personal information about your child that has been collected at one of Domino® Sugar's sites, have it delete this information (if Domino® Sugar still has the information in its databases), and/or instruct it not to collect or use your child's information in the future. If you are a parent and wish to exercise this right, simply Contact Us.

5. Cookies:
Like most commercial Web sites, some areas of this Web site may also use what is known as "cookie" technology. A "cookie" is a non-executable element of data that a Web site can send to your browser when you link to that site. By assigning a unique data element to each visitor, the Web site is then able to recognize repeat users, track usage patterns and better serve you when you return to that site. The "cookie" does not extract personal information about you. Most browsers provide a simple procedure that will enable you to control whether you want to receive cookies by notifying you when a Web site is about to deposit a cookie.

Domino® Sugar employs appropriate security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. For certain areas of the site, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software is employed, which encrypts information you input, as an additional security measure. However, as no on-line data transmission can be guaranteed to be totally secure, Domino® Sugar (like all Web sites) cannot warrant or guarantee 100% security of any information you transmit to its Web sites.
