Vitasoy USA Inc. is committed to protecting your personal privacy. Vitasoy provides this notice to explain the type of information we collect on the www.vitasoy-usa.com Website (also known as the "Website") and how we use this information. This Policy also explains the choices that you can make about the way your information is collected and used. Our Privacy Policy is available for you to review on our homepage and at every site where we have requested personally identifiable information.

The Information Vitasoy Collects

This policy applies to all information submitted on this Website. You may be asked to provide personal information so that you can register for a sweepstakes or contest, participate in a game or promotion, receive information, order a product, fill out a survey, or join a club. Your participation is voluntary and we will not require you to provide more information than is necessary to participate in any of our Website's activities. In some instances, we may ask you questions on an aggregate basis (we do not identify you personally with the information) and such questions will be identified on the Website. In all other instances, please understand that we may track any information you provide on a personally identifiable basis. The types of personal information collected on this Website includes: i) name; ii) address; iii) e-mail address; iv) age; and v) phone number.

Use of the Information

Our Website provides you with the opportunity to register on the site through the Register Rewards section. Registration is required to be eligible to enter any of the Vitasoy USA online contests or sweepstakes. Vitasoy USA may use the information you provide when registering to fulfill prizes.

We use return email addresses to answer the email that we receive, and we may use return email to send you other information. These addresses are not used for other purposes.

When you register with our Website, you can decide to receive information and updates on our products and services. Information will not be used for this purpose unless you request to receive communications from Vitasoy USA.

We use information that you provide to improve our Website and our marketing strategies and our products. One method through which this Website may collect aggregate information is the collection of IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers are the computers which "deliver" Web pages and automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from this Website, our servers log your IP address. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so although your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to Vitasoy USA. To the extent that such information may be shared with third parties, please review "Our Privacy Practices With Third Parties" below.

Occasionally, you may take the opportunity to forward pages or information on our Website to friends. The information you provide to facilitate this email communication is used on a one-time basis and is not collected or retained by Vitasoy USA.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are files or pieces of information that may be stored in your computer's hard drive when you visit a Website. We may use cookies to improve our site and conform our products to your interests and needs. Cookies may also help speed up your activities or to improve your user experience by remembering the information which you have already provided to us. We do not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not voluntarily provided by you. The use of cookies is an industry standard and you will find them at most Websites. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you would prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent so that you can flush them from your browser if you object to their presence.

Our Privacy Practices with Third Parties

We may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable information about our users with advertisers, business partners and affiliates, sponsors, agents and other third parties. We do not provide any identifiable personal information to any third party for any purpose. For example, we may tell a business partner the number of men and the number of women that entered a contest, but we do not disclose any information to identify those individuals. Access by our employees and agents to your Personal Information is only on a need-to-know basis on the understanding that this is confidential business information.

We do not intend to use or share Personal Information provided to us in ways that are different than those ways described above without providing you with an opportunity to "unsubscribe" or prohibit such unrelated uses.

Links to Other Sites

Users should be aware that when you are on this Website you may be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There may be links to other sites that take you outside our service. This may include links from advertisers, sponsors, and partners that may use the Vitasoy USA logo. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, or otherwise collect data or solicit personal information. You should always be aware of your location on the Internet. Check the linked site to locate its Privacy Policy which may be different from our own. If the Vitasoy USA Website links you to any third party Website, Vitasoy USA makes no representation as to the existence, sufficiency, accuracy or completeness of their Privacy Policy.

Our Commitment to Data Security

Vitasoy USA takes reasonable precautions to keep your personal information secure. We have established appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect. However, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online, and you do so at your own risk.

Our Commitment to Children's Privacy

The privacy of young children is of special concern to us, so it is our policy not to allow children under the age of thirteen (13) to register on our site, or use any personal information they provide unless and until we have received informed parental consent. The following section of our Privacy Policy provides you with information about:

1. The information. Vitasoy USA may collect from children when they register on the Vitasoy USA Website or participate in any of VITASOY's activities (e.g., a Sweepstake or contest);

2. How we may use this information;

3. How a parent may give us permission to obtain registrant information from their child who is under the age of thirteen;

4. How a parent may review or change the amount or type of registrant information we can collect from a child.

5. Who we may share this information with; and

6. Whether or not the information requested is necessary in order to register or participate in a specific activity on the Vitasoy USA site.

The Information We Collect

In order to register on our Vitasoy USA site or collect a prize from Vitasoy, we may require the following information:

User Name
Password
Actual Name
Address, including city, state and zip code
Email address
Phone Number
Birthday

If the Birthday entry reveals the child is under the age of 13, we will freeze the information your child has provided and request your email and physical address information so that we can obtain consent from you before any of the information is used.

Once registration has been completed, we may request additional information from your child in conjunction with his/her participation in some of the sweepstakes or other promotional activities on our Vitasoy USA site. This requested additional information will be unique to the actual promotion the child is participating in. In other words, we may request basic information about your child's preferences (e.g. favorite drink) or your child's observations. The information may be requested through a fill-in-the-blank method or it may ask them to select a multiple choice option. We will not ask the child to reveal financial or sensitive data information, such as credit card numbers.

How We May Use the Information We Collect From Our Web Site Registrants
Please note that the material in this section and throughout this notice about our information collection and usage practices applies only to individually identifiable information about your child, i.e. the information which can be traced to a specific child. If the information collected is combined as aggregate information so that the child cannot be traced to an address or otherwise individually identified, then the policies we have stated in this notice may not apply. You should assume that all personal information we collect is tracked on an individual basis unless you are informed otherwise on the Website.

The information is collected in order to offer a customized interactive environment for our Website visitors, to enhance our general Website content development and for internal marketing purposes.

We will not use the parent's email or address for any purpose other than to communicate with the parent in order to obtain permission for their child to register and participate on our Vitasoy USA Website. After we have obtained the parent's response to our request for information, we may retain the parent's information for our internal records, but only to show that we have complied with our privacy protection policy.

Who We May Share Our Collected Information With
We will use the information we collect only for internal purposes. In short, we will not share or rent or intentionally make the individually identifiable information we have collected available to anyone outside our company (our company includes our affiliates and subsidiaries). If the information we collect is obtained with the help of an agent (for example, if we hire a company to collect the answers to certain questions and then supervise a random prize drawing, then that company is our agent), then we will have the agent sign an agreement that they will not use any of the information they have access to, for any reason other than the purposes for which we hired them.

What Information Requested on the Website is Required
The information we may initially require at the time of registration is user name, actual name, address, email, phone number and the birthday of the Website visitor. If the birthday reveals that the registrant is a child under the age of 13, then we will require the parent's name, address and email information in order to obtain consent for their child's registration and participation on our Vitasoy USA Website. The information the child provides will not be used in any way until we receive authorization from the parent/legal guardian. After the parent grants permission, this information will then be used whenever the child attempts to enter a sweepstakes or other promotional activities on the Website. The questions which are posted on the Website next to specific promotional activities will be optional and do not have to be answered in order for the child to enter the sweepstakes. The only exception, where promotional activity questions may be required, occurs when factual information is necessary to conduct the promotion, such as a sweepstakes where the entrant has to select a prize they would like to win, from among several options, before the drawing is held.

All optional information is collected on a voluntary basis and will be used in accord with our policy (stated above) regarding the use of information that we collect. This optional information will not be provided to anyone outside our company in any personally identifiable manner.

Permission Process
We will tell you how you can give us permission to register your child and permit them to access promotional sections on our Vitasoy USA Website.

As stated above, children under the age of thirteen will be requested to provide the parents/guardian's name, email address and physical address information. At that time, an email will be sent to the parent explaining that the child is attempting to register on the site and providing the parent with the URL, user name and password to access the child's information. Once entered, the parent will have the opportunity to:

1. Submit the child's information
2. Edit the child's information
3. Delete the child's information

In addition to the email, Vitasoy USA may send the parent/guardian a letter or postcard notifying them of the child's activity. The information contained in this letter is similar to the information contained in the email but does not require a response from the parent. The registration of a child with Vitasoy USA will be activated after the parent visits the Website and submits or edits the child's information as described above. When a parent submits the child's registration information, an email is sent to the child notifying them that this has occurred and making them eligible to participate in site activities.

Once the registration information is submitted and entered into our files, as the parent/guardian of a child, you are free to verify or change any information we have (please see next section on "How to Manage Vitasoy USA Profile"). Please be aware that for security reasons we do not release any information that we have on file. You will need to provide us with the information you are questioning if you do not have the necessary user name, password or email address to access your child's information. To verify or change information, please contact VITASOY's Online Privacy Policy Administrators via the methods listed below.

How to Change or Modify Your Permission at Any Time
If you wish to remove your child's registration at any time from our Website or you no longer want them to participate in our Website's promotional activities, you may use the following options:

Unsubscribe/Delete

1. Use our Unsubscribe form on the Contact Us page.

2. Send us mail: Send us your request via the mail. Please include your child's user name, password and email address and clear instructions on what you would like us to do. Send to: Vitasoy USA, One New England Way, Ayer, MA 01432.

3. Manage Your Vitasoy USA Profile: Within the Vitasoy USA website, you have the option to manage your child's information profile provided to Vitasoy USA. The Vitasoy USA system allows you to update or delete your child's information from our database. We also allow you to subscribe or unsubscribe your child from any promotional email updates we send out. The child's email address and password will be required to access this information.

Vitasoy USA reserves the right to change or remove this Privacy Policy at our discretion. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy we will post those changes here. We encourage you to visit this area frequently to stay informed. If there is any material change in the type of information we collect, we will obtain your permission before we attempt to collect the additional personal information from your child. We will not make any changes which allow us to give personal information to a third party without obtaining permission from you first.
