Gorton's Privacy Policy

The web site you have entered is operated by Gorton's, Inc. Gorton's is committed to protecting your personal privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines the type of information that is collected by Gorton's on this web site and information collected by Gorton's offline, such as when you enter a Gorton's sweepstakes, contest or promotion, and how we use and protect that information. This Policy also tells you what to do if you do not want your Personal Information collected when you visit our web site, and how you can change information you have already provided to us. This Policy applies only to the Gorton's web site and to information Gorton's collects offline. For example, it does not apply to banners, sweepstakes and other advertisements or promotions we may sponsor or participate in on web sites owned by third parties.

Your Consent to this Privacy Policy

By using our web site or entering into a Gorton's sweepstakes, contest or promotion, you signify that you agree with the terms of our current Privacy Policy as posted in this area of the site. If you do not agree with any term in this Policy, please do not provide any Personal Information (defined below) on this site or in any Gorton's sweepstakes, contest or promotion.

If you choose not to provide Personal Information on this site or offline, you may not be able to do certain things, like access particular areas of the site, enter a sweepstakes or contest, or send us e-mail.

Collection of Personal Information

As used in this Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" means personally identifiable information such as your name, street address, telephone number, screen name and email address. The site you entered may collect some or all of these types of Personal Information. Please be assured that Gorton's will not collect any Personal Information from your visits to our sites, or otherwise, unless you provide this information voluntarily.

When you provide us with Personal Information, you are authorizing us to use that information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy, which includes your right to limit our use of the Personal Information as described in this Policy (see "Who to Contact" below). The site you entered may also collect Personal Information from you about a third party. Please note that we use such information only for the specified purpose and we will not contact the third party again by e-mail unless and until the third party contacts us.

How We Use Your Information

When you supply Personal Information at this web site or offline, it will be used for the express purpose for which it was collected (e.g., to enter you in a sweepstakes). It may also be used, with your consent, to contact you regarding other products, or Gorton's related information, which may be of interest to you. At any time, however, you may opt out of such future contact. (See "Who to Contact" below.)

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 Gorton's; however, they are prohibited from using it for other purposes and they are required to maintain the information in confidence.

We will not sell, trade, rent or give individually identifying information to third parties. At times we may provide Personal Information and aggregate statistics about our visitors, database entries, web traffic patterns, and related site information we collect on our web site to selected vendors or third parties to analyze solely to help us improve our products and our web sites. Finally, please note that we will release your Personal Information if required to do so by law, or by search warrant, subpoena or court order.

Information about your computer, such as your IP address (a number assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Internet), the type of Internet browser you are using and the type of computer operating system you are using may also be collected and linked to your Personal Information. This is to ensure that our web sites present the best web experience for visitors, and that they are an effective information resource.

Some of the pages you visit may also collect information through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs) that may be shared with third parties which directly support Gorton's promotional activities and web site development. The information collected through the use of these pixel tags is not, however, personally identifiable, although it could be linked to your Personal Information.

Finally, we may supplement the information that you provide us with other information that we receive from third parties. We do this for marketing purposes in order to provide more targeted products and services to meet your needs.

Ortega Privacy Policy

B&G Foods, Inc. ("B&G") maintains this site for informational, educational and entertainment purposes, and its use is subject to the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy in addition to applicable laws and regulations. Your use of our site indicates your informed consent to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms contained herein, please do not use this site or any services offered by this site. B&G reserves the right to make changes to these terms at any time. Please check back from time to time to ensure you are aware of any updates or changes to these terms.

The privacy and protection of your personal information is very important to B&G. B&G has accordingly adopted this privacy policy explaining our online information collection practices and use. B&G collects information in two ways: (1) through the use of "cookie" technology and (2) through information voluntarily provided by users.

Cookies

B&G employs cookie technology and similar devices on its web sites to facilitate site-navigation. "Cookies" are pieces of information that are sent to your browser from a web server and may be stored on your computer's hard drive until removed. Cookies make it possible for users to avoid logging into web sites upon each visit, and their use by commercial web sites is common. Your browser may be reconfigured to either signal the receipt of a cookie or to refuse the acceptance of cookies; however, reconfiguration may affect your ability to proper access and/or use this and many other sites.

B&G uses cookies and similar devices to collect non-personal information about users of B&G's web site, such as (1) a user's IP address (i.e. @bgfoods.com), the type of web browser (i.e. Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer) and operating system (i.e. Windows or Linux) being used, (2) the pages of the web site a user visits and (3) other web sites visited after a user leaves the Sites. Cookies enabled by B&G do not contain any personally identifiable information such as your name or your e-mail address.

B&G collects non-personal information in order to monitor usage of and to improve this site. Accordingly, B&G reserves the right to share information obtained from cookies with third parties compiling such information for B&G's internal use only.

Personally Identifiable Information

Personally identifiable information is any information that would reveal specific information about you as an individual. Examples of personally identifiable information include your name, street address, e-mail address and phone number. B&G only collects this type of information when voluntarily supplied by users. If you voluntarily supply B&G with your personally identifiable information, that information may only be used to respond to your question or request, or in a manner otherwise permitted by you. B&G reserves the right to share such information with third parties who assist B&G in providing such responses or fulfilling such user-permitted purposes. However, B&G reserves the right to share personally identifiable information with third parties if reasonably requested by law enforcement agencies or if B&G is required to do so by law (i.e. subpoena, court order, etc.). B&G may also disclose personal information to third parties if B&G has reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating this Privacy Policy.

Recipe Club Registration

If you choose to register for Ortega's Recipe Club, you will be asked to submit an e-mail address and other personally identifiable information. B&G will only use this information in conjunction with activities of the Recipe Club, including, but not limited to, e-mailing recipe newsletters. If, upon registration, you select to receive offers extended to Recipe Club members by B&G and other third parties, your personally identifiable information may also by used by B&G and third parties to provide you with such offers. E-mails from the Recipe Club will routinely offer you the opportunity to remove your e-mail address from our newsletter distribution list and/or the distribution list for Recipe Club offers.
