Privacy Policy

Annie's will never re-sell or share your email or personal information with another company.

If you have any questions about this policy, please contact Consumer Relations.

 

Shopping and Security

We take every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration or order forms ask users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers), that information is encrypted and protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked when you are just ‘surfing’ the internet.



What personal information does Annie's gather?

The information we learn from users helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at Annies.com. We may monitor and track information such as customer usage patterns on our website. We compile this information into a statistical aggregate, which we use for internal business and administrative purposes including improving our website, our operations and our consumer relations. Here are the types of information we gather:

Personal information provided by you

Annie's currently has an electronic newsletter. In order to receive our newsletter, it is necessary that you provide us with information, such as your name and email address. We will never share your information with another company.

Our guestbook and blog collect names and locations to add a personal touch to the comments. These are not used for marketing purposes.

When you contact Consumer Relations, apply for our scholarship or community giving programs, or submit a recipe, your contact information is stored in our database, so that we may respond to your comment or application.

Finally, from time-to-time, we may also provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request certain personal information from you, such as contact and demographic information.

All of the above information that we receive from you is voluntary on your part. You do not need to send us any information to use our website. However, if you wish to voluntarily participate in any of the above programs, you will need to provide us with the applicable information.

Automatic information

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses Annies.com. This information may include your IP address, your web browser type and operating system, session time, click path analysis, and the pages you request. We use this information in an aggregate way to monitor usage and improve our website. Cookies DO NOT contain any personally identifiable information such as your name or email address.



E-mail Communications

To help us make our e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Annies.com if your computer supports such capabilities. We will never share your email address or personal information with another company.



Privacy Policy Changes

Use of our website indicates agreement and acceptance of the terms of this privacy policy. Annie’s reserves the right to update this policy at any time. We will post electronic announcements on the website notifying you of any revisions to this privacy policy. Please review all revisions to our policy. We maintain the option to change this policy at any time by electronic notice posted on our website. Your continued use of our website after the date that such notices are posted will be deemed to be your agreement to the changed terms.



Children and Annie's

Like other Web sites that contain content directed to children, Annie's is required by law to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). Under COPPA, parental consent is required for the online collection, use and/or disclosure of personal information obtained from a child under the age of 13.
