This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or use culinaryinnovationchallenge.com (the “Site”).

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”.

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

• “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
• “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
• “Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally when you register through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, email address, phone number, supervisor name and email, home address, unit address and working segment. We refer to this information as “Contestant Information”.

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Contestant Information.

We use the Contestant Information that we collect to validate the participation on the contest. Additionally, we use this Contestant Information to:

• Communicate with you; and
• Validate the recipe submitted during the submission stage.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and errors (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how contestants interact with the Site). Also, we might use this information to communicate with you or send notifications about the contest regarding your participation.

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site -- you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.

If you are a European resident, you have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us through the contact information below.

Additionally, if you are a European resident we note that we are processing your information in order to fulfill contracts we might have with you (for example if you make an order through the Site), or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above. Additionally, please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States.

When you register on the contest through the Site, we will maintain your Contestant Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.

The Site is not intended for individuals under the age of 16 years old.
