We have also established a set of Employee Privacy Principles and Non-Employee Privacy Principles. These Principles provide guidance to us with respect to our application of these Guidelines and our treatment of personal information.

These Guidelines and the accompanying Principles are designed to assist us in fairly and effectively managing personal information with regard to collection, use, disclosure, retention, accuracy and security. In that regard, all of our employees who handle personal information are required to comply with these Guidelines and our Principles.

We are committed to following these Guidelines and our Principles. We are further committed to complying with any privacy laws that may apply to the personal information that we may obtain.

We encourage our customers, the general public, and others to learn more about our Privacy Guidelines by visiting our website – kettlemans.com; speaking with a Kettlemans Bagel manager; or, contacting the Kettlemans Bagel person responsible for privacy issues.

Website Privacy Guidelines

Information about our Privacy Guidelines and Internet Usage

We collect only limited personal information from children 12 and under (like their email addresses) to respond to their online requests. For example, we may collect a child’s email address in order to send the child a screen saver, but we promptly delete the email address from our system. Or, we may collect a child’s email address in order to enter the child in a contest. We may also ask a child to provide the email address of a parent so we can notify the parent to seek consent. We will not collect more detailed information from a child 12 and younger, such as a postal address or a telephone number, without the consent of a parent or guardian. Kettlemans Bagel will not condition a child’s participation in any online activity on the child’s disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity.

Personal information collected from children is used solely by Kettlemans Bagel or other entities that provide technical, fulfillment, or other services to Kettlemans Bagel. For example, such entities may provide services, such as improving our websites, fulfilling requests, or administering contests. Personal information collected from children is not sold or transferred to third parties.
We urge parents to regularly monitor and supervise their children’s online activities. In order to review any personal information we have about your child or to ask us to delete that information or to stop further use of the information, please contact us.

Links to Other Websites

We may offer links to websites that are not operated by Kettlemans Bagel. We are not responsible for the policies and practices of other companies. If you visit one of these linked websites, you should review their privacy and other policies.

Except in such specific circumstances, you may withdraw your consent to our use of your personal information at any time.

Principle #4

We only collect information necessary for identified purposes.

We will only collect information necessary to meet an identified purpose. We will collect this information lawfully and fairly.

Further, we may require additional information to verify a winning entry.

We will limit how we use and or, disclose your information.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to meet the identified purpose(s).

Personal information that is no longer required for a purpose will be destroyed or made anonymous. Occasionally, with your permission, we will send marketing information to you, such as discount coupons, information about new product offerings, etc. If you do not consent to receive such materials, we will not send them to you.

In the course of managing business operations, Kettlemans Bagel may share personal information with other entities such as professional advisors, suppliers, or agencies. Any entity with which we share personal information is required to comply with these Guidelines.

These entities may have access to personal information, if needed, to perform such functions. However, these entities may only use such personal information for the purpose of performing that function for which the information was provided and may not use it for any other purpose.

Kettlemans Bagel does not sell, transfer, or disclose personal information to entities outside the Kettlemans Bagel system. However, with your permission, we may, on occasion send marketing information on behalf of one of our promotional partners (“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 our partners.
