This website is owned and operated by Atkinson's Country
House. We recognize that many visitors to our site are concerned
about the information they provide to us, and how we treat
that information. So we've developed this Privacy Policy
to address those concerns. We may update this Policy from
time to time, so please check in occasionally.
Contests and Sweepstakes
Our site sometimes includes notices of promotions we are
conducting, and we may permit you to enter electronically
in some cases. If that occurs, we will use the information
you provide for the purpose of conducting the promotion
(e.g., to contact you if you're a winner). Within a reasonable
time after the conclusion of the promotion, the personal
information will be deleted from our database, unless you've
agreed to permit us to keep it and use it to contact you
again.
Questionnaires and Surveys
We may occasionally ask visitors to complete surveys and
opinion polls about their attitudes and interests. Surveys
help us to understand your needs. If sample answers to surveys
are posted on the website site, no personally identifiable
information will be included. If you participate in one
of our surveys, you can be assured that we do not maintain
any personal information about you in our databases as a
result of the survey.
How We Use Your Personal Information
If you specifically agreed to follow-up contacts by us or
asked to be put on our mailing list when you registered,
we may contact you from time to time. For example, we may
send you marketing or promotion materials; we may respond
to your comments or requests for information; or we may
contact you if needed in the course of processing a product
or service you requested through our website. In the e-mail
section of our site, we ask for some personally-identifiable
information, such as your name and phone number. We use
this information only if we need to contact you directly
because our attempts to contact you by e-mail were unsuccessful.
We don't use your e-mail address for any purpose other than
responding to the message you've sent, unless we have your
permission. We also use personal information about you to
improve our marketing and promotional efforts; to statistically
analyze website usage; and to improve our features and content.
We may also use your personal information to deliver content
that is customized to your interests as we best understand
them from the information you've provided to us and your
activities on the site. This customized content may include
such things as recipes, banners, product information, and
promotions. We do not collect personal information automatically,
but we may combine non-personal information collected automatically
(through cookies) with your previously submitted personal
information. Atkinson's Country House primary goal in collecting
personal information is to give you a meaningful and customized
experience while you are using our websites and interactive
banner ads.
Third Parties Who Provide Support Services to Atkinson's
Country House
In the course of doing business, we employ other companies
and individuals to perform a variety of functions on our
behalf. For example, we hire agencies to help administer
consumer promotions, to analyze data, to fulfill orders
you place, and to provide customer service. These agents
may have access to personal information if it is needed
to perform their functions for Atkinson's Country House;
however, they are prohibited from using it for other purposes
and they are required to maintain the information in confidence.
Data Sharing and Transfer
We do not sell, transfer, or disclose the personally-identifiable
information we gather at our websites to third parties without
your prior consent. There are only two exceptions to this
rule: (1) We will disclose information in cases where we
believe in good faith that it is necessary to prevent a
crime or an injury to ourselves or third parties; and (2)
We disclose information to third parties who provide support
services to us, as described above. There may be times when
we share aggregate information about our visitors (for example,
the percentage of male and female visitors to our site)
with advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other
third parties in an effort to customize or enhance the content
and advertising of our site for our users. We may also aggregate
data from web log files (such as your web browser, operating
system, pages visited, etc.) to understand how users navigate
the site and what features are most popular.
Links to Other Sites
Atkinson's Country House does its best to make sure that
every link on our website sends you and/or your kids to
a safe place on the Internet. However, websites and addresses
change quickly, and Atkinson's Country House cannot guarantee
the content of every site to which we provide a link. In
addition, different websites have different privacy policies.
You should always check the privacy policy of the specific
site you're visiting to understand your rights.
Choice and Control
You are ultimately in control of the personally-identifiable
information you provide to us on our site. For example,
you can always change your preference for follow-up contacts
just by e-mailing the Online Team at the address listed
below or by changing the information in Your Profile section
of the site. Or, if you prefer, you can cancel your registration
altogether and we will take prompt steps to remove your
personally-identifiable information from our database. E-mail
the Online team at the address listed below if you wish
to take this action.
Important Note to Kids
Before providing your name, address, e-mail address, or
any other personal information to anyone on the Internet,
be sure to ask your parents if it's OK.
