McDonald's Internet Privacy Policy
Emerald Coast McDonald's ("ECMCD") is
pleased to provide information to all of its customers about its
online privacy policy. Please be assured that ECMCD uses its
best efforts to protect the privacy of visitors to this web site.
Types of Information We Collect and How It Is
Used
ECMCD only gathers personal information,
such as, first and last names, addresses and email addresses, when
voluntarily submitted by you. For example, personal information may
be collected from you in order to get your feedback on our web sites
and our products or to enter you in one of our contests or
sweepstakes.
Sharing of Personal Information
ECMCD may share personal information
within the McDonald's Family. The McDonald's Family includes
McDonald's Corporation, our franchisees, our subsidiaries and our
affiliates. Of course, any use of this information by the McDonald's
Family will comply with this policy. 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 elect to receive such materials, we will not send them to
you.
Companies may be engaged by ECMCD to
perform a variety of functions, such as, fulfilling orders,
assisting with promotions, providing technical services for our web
sites, etc. These companies may have access to personal information
if needed to perform such functions. However, these companies may
only use such personal information for the purpose of performing
that function and may not use it for any other purpose.
ECMCD does not sell, transfer or disclose
personal information to third parties outside the McDonald's Family.
However, with your permission, we will, on occasion send marketing
information on behalf of one of our business 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 ECMCD
business partners. If you elect to receive such materials,
ECMCD will not share your personal information with such
partners but rather will send a mailing or email on behalf of the
partners.
ECMCD reserves the right to use or
disclose any information as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or
legal request, to protect the integrity of the site, to fulfill your
requests, or to cooperate in any law enforcement investigation or an
investigation on a matter of public safety.
Our Privacy Policy Regarding Children
ECMCD is very sensitive to privacy issues.
We are proud of our longtime commitment to our customers. We are
especially careful in any communications with one of our most
treasured customers - children.
On our web sites, we offer many features, like
games and coloring books, which do not require a child to provide
any personal information. 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
sweepstakes. We may also ask a child to provide an email address of
a parent so we can notify the parent or 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. ECMCD 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 ECMCD or other entities that provide technical,
fulfillment or other services to ECMCD. For example, such
entities may provide services, such as, improving our web sites,
fulfilling requests or administering sweepstakes. This personal
information is not sold or transferred to third parties.
We urge parents to regularly monitor and
supervise their children's on-line activities.
