Blimpie Internet Privacy Policy
Thank you for visiting www.blimpie.com, the Blimpie International, Inc. (“BLIMPIE®”) website. We respect our customer’s privacy and have provided this policy to explain our online privacy practices. This privacy policy applies only to the website located at www.blimpie.com.
Types of Information We Collect and How It Is Used (sharing with partners)
BLIMPIE® only collects personal information (such as name, address, email address, password, phone number, etc.) when voluntarily provided by you. You may choose to provide this personal information to us in order to enter one of our sweepstakes or promotions, to provide feedback on our website and our products, or for other registration purposes. Sweepstakes and promotions may be subject to additional terms and conditions. We will only use your phone number to contact you if you are a potential winner in a sweepstakes or another promotion.
Sharing of Personal Information
There are many brands within Blimpie International, Inc. besides BLIMPIE® (i.e., PASTA CENTRAL®, MAUI TACOS®, SMOOTHIE ISLAND®, and B I Concept Systems, Inc.). We may share your personal information within our affiliate brands. Occasionally, we will send marketing information to you, such as special offers, discount coupons, information about new promotions or menu items, company news, etc. If you do not choose to receive such materials via email or opt out of receiving future emails, we will not send them to you. We may also use personal information collected online to append personal information collected offline.
Companies may be engaged by BLIMPIE® to perform a variety of functions, such as fulfilling orders, assisting with promotions, providing marketing or advertising services, providing technical services for our website, etc. These companies may have access to your personal information if needed to perform such functions. However, these companies may only use such personal information for the purpose of performing that function and may not use it for any other purpose.
Except as described in this policy, BLIMPIE® does not sell, transfer or disclose personal information to third parties outside the Kahala Franchise Corp. brand portfolio. However, with your permission, we will, on occasion send marketing information on behalf of one of our business partners about products or services they provide that may be of interest to you. You may be asked if you wish to receive marketing materials from BLIMPIE® business partners. If you elect to receive such materials, BLIMPIE® will not share your personal information with such partners but rather will send a mailing or email on behalf of the partners.
BLIMPIE® reserves the right to use or disclose any information as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request, to protect the integrity of the website, to fulfill your requests, to cooperate in any law enforcement investigation or an investigation on a matter of public safety or in connection with a sale or merger of all or part of BLIMPIE®.
Except as provided in this policy, all correspondence with BLIMPIE® from you is considered nonconfidential and nonproprietary.
Our Privacy Policy Regarding Children
BLIMPIE® is sensitive to privacy issues, especially when it involves communication with children.
On our websites, we offer many features, like games, ecards and other activities, which do not require a user to provide any personal information. We may end up using personal information from children under 13 (like their email addresses) to respond to a one-time request, but we do not permanently store such information or use it for future contact. For example, we may collect a child's email address in order to send an ecard from the child, but the email address is automatically deleted from our system. We do not allow children under the age of 13 to enter a sweepstakes on our website, but we may ask a child to provide an email address of a parent so we can notify the parent or seek consent. We will not collect more detailed information from a child under 13, such as a postal address or a telephone number, without the consent of a parent or guardian. BLIMPIE ® will not condition a child's participation in any online activity on the child's disclosure of more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity.
We urge parents to regularly monitor and supervise their children's online activities.
Access
If at any time you would like to correct the personal information we have about you or if you would like to change your preferences for contacts from us or on behalf of our business partners, you can let us know by updating your profile with your email address and self-assigned password at www.blimpie.com or by contacting us at the email or postal address listed below. However, we are not responsible for removing your personal information from the lists of any third party who has previously been provided your information in accordance with this policy, such as an affiliate brand.
