BOARDWALK FOOD COMPANY PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy describes the collection of information by Boardwalk Food Company LLC. ("Boardwalk Food Company," "we," or "us") from users of our Web sites at BoardwalkFoodCo.com, and any other websites owned or operated by Boardwalk Food Company on which this Privacy Policy is displayed (each, a “Website,” and collectively, the “Websites”), and users of the various services we provide on the Websites (the “Services”), as well as our use and disclosure of that information. By using any of our Websites or our Services, you consent to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
PERSONAL INFORMATION
"Personal Information," as used in this policy, is information that specifically identifies a person, such as a person's name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address, user IDs and passwords, billing and transaction information, credit card information, and contact preferences, and other identification and contact information. Personal information also includes information about a person's activities, such as information about his or her activity on our Website or our Services, and demographic information, such as date of birth, gender, geographic area, and preferences, when any of this information is linked to personal information that identifies that person.
Personal information does not include "aggregate" or other non-personally identifiable information. Aggregate information is information that we collect about a group or category of products, services, or users that is not personally identifiable or from which individual identities are removed. We may use and disclose aggregate information, and other non-personally identifiable information, for various purposes.
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
Passive Information Collection
When you visit our Website, some information is automatically collected, such as your computer's IP address, browser type, system type, the content and pages that you access on the Website or Service, "referring URL" (i.e., the page from which you navigated to the Website), the pages from which you navigate to and from the Website or Service, and the time you spend on the Website or the Service.
We collect this information passively using technologies such as standard server logs, “cookies,” and clear GIFs (also known as "Web beacons"). A “cookie” is a small amount of data transferred to your browser and read by the Web server that placed it there. It works like an identification card, recording your preferences and previously entered information. Our pages use cookies, Web beacons, and other technologies for data analysis and personalization services. We also place ads on other websites that may use cookies. We use passively-collected information to administer, operate, and improve our Websites, our Services, and our other services, and to provide products and content that are tailored to you. If we link or associate any information gathered through passive means with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information under this policy. Otherwise, we use information collected by passive means in a non-personally identifiable form.
Also, please be aware that third parties may set cookies on your hard drive or use other means of passively collecting information about your use of their services or content. We do not have access to, or control over, these third-party means of passive data collection.
Collection of Voluntarily Provided Information

We may collect personal information such as name, e-mail address, city, state, country, other demographic information, interests, and preferences, and personally identifying photographs and videos in these manners.
Information from Other Sources
