Privacy Policy
Tastysummer.com's policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our users. We want our Internet users to be comfortable using our site. This policy statement tells you how we collect information from you and how we use it. The following policy only applies to online activities on the tastysummer.com website, not to offline activities.
Registration
You may use most portions of this site without providing any personal information. However, tastysummer.com may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, mailing address and age. Tastysummer.com needs to collect this information for fulfilling prizes, tracking/verifying compliance with tastysummer.com policies, and federal, state and local laws and/or for editorial and feedback solicitation purposes.
Use Of Personally Identifiable Information
Tastysummer.com will not disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent. However, certain personal information required to enter a sweepstakes or contest may be shared with tastysummer.com's partner (Fulfillment Systems Inc.) so that it may perform its judging function in the Sweepstakes. Please review the rules of the sweepstakes or contest carefully before disclosing any personal information. Also, tastysummer.com may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) tastysummer.com's rights or property, other tastysummer.com users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Tastysummer.com may disclose user information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
Tastysummer.com shares aggregate information (data that does not contain personally identifiable information) about our users with advertisers, business partners, sponsors and other third parties. For example, we will say tastysummer.com's audience is x percent under age 50 and y percent over age 50. This data is used to customize tastysummer.com content and advertising to deliver a better experience for our users.
Opting-Out
Information provided at the time of Registration or submission from a guest who is 18 years of age or over may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by tastysummer.com and Otis Spunkmeyer, Inc. To keep you in control of your personal information and the communications directed to you, we allow you to opt-out of the following services: receiving invitations for market research surveys, and receiving communications about offers from Otis Spunkmeyer, Inc.

Please review the rules of the sweepstakes or contest carefully before entering.)
Use Of IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address.
Tastysummer.com collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When guests request pages from the tastysummer.com site, our servers log the guests' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user's session will be logged but the user remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our house rules or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
Use Of Cookies
Cookies are pieces of data that a website transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you're at our site. The use of cookies is an industry standard.
By showing how and when guests use a site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our users needs.
Tastysummer.com primarily uses cookies to track user trends and patterns. This helps us better understand and improve areas of the tastysummer.com service that our users find valuable. While this activity depends on the use of a "cookie," visitors to tastysummer.com always have the option of disabling cookies via their browser preferences. Information from cookies is sometimes attached to messages sent to our Customer Service department.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of the tastysummer.com service will not function properly if you refuse cookies. For example, without cookies, you may have difficulty entering the sweepstakes.
You may occasionally get cookies from our partner if you "click" on a link that takes you from tastysummer.com to the partner’s website. Tastysummer.com does not control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry.
Security
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our guests is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, tastysummer.com can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Remember to close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if your computer is accessible to others or if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or internet café.
