PRIVACY POLICY
OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide
this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices
you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To
make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our home page
and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
This notice applies to all information collected from or submitted to
the following M. S. Hershey Foundation ("MSHF”) website: the Hershey
Theatre (hereinafter referred to as “Website”). Other MSHF websites may
operate under their own privacy notices.
Our Website contains links to other Websites operated by third parties.
MSHF is not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of such
third party Websites.
THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Our Website is not set up to automatically collect personally identifiable
information from each visitor to our Website. It does recognize the home
server of visitors, but not email addresses. For example, we can tell
which Internet Service Provider our visitors use, but not the names,
addresses or other information about our visitors that would allow us
to identify the particular visitors to our Website. This information
is used only for internal purposes by our technical support staff.
Our Website does track certain information about the visits to our Website.
For example, we compile statistics that show the numbers and frequency
of visitors to our Web Site and its individual pages. These aggregated
statistics are used internally to improve our Website and for product
development and marketing purposes generally. Those aggregated statistics
may also be provided to advertisers and other third parties, but again,
the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to
gather such information.
In a few areas on our Website, we ask you to provide information that
will enable us to verify whether you are entitled to access and use certain
information, materials and services available from our Website, or to
enable us to enhance your site visit, to assist you with customer service
or technical support issues, or to follow up with you after your visit,
or to otherwise support your customer relationship with MSHF. It is completely
optional for you to participate. However, failure to participate may
mean that you cannot access and use certain information, materials and
services.
For example, we request information from you when you:
1. Register or sign-up to use a service such as our email newsletters.
2. Subscribe to a newsletter or desire to be added to our mailing lists
for other products or services.
3. Place an order.
4. Participate in a sweepstakes or other promotional offer.
5. Provide feedback in an online survey.
In each of the instances above, we typically ask for your name, email
address, phone number, address, law practice information, product preference
information, as well as other similar personal information that is needed
to register or subscribe you to services or offers. On occasion, we may
ask for additional information to enable us to provide you with access
to and use of certain information, materials and services. In the case
of newsletters or mailing lists, you will be able to "unsubscribe" to
these mailings at any time.
HOW WE USE INFORMATION
MSHF only uses your personal information for specific purposes.
The personal information you provide to us when using our Website, such
as your name, postal or email address or telephone number will be kept
confidential and used to support your customer relationship with MSHF,
and to notify you of special offers, updated information and new products
and services from MSHF, or offers from third parties that we think may
be of interest to you. Agents or contractors of MSHF who are given access
to your personal information will be required to keep the information
confidential and not use it for any other purpose than to carry out the
services they are performing for MSHF.
MSHF may enhance or merge your information collected at its Website with
data from third parties for purposes of marketing products or services
to you.
With respect to network advertising companies (companies that manage
and provide advertising for numerous unrelated companies), to the extent
that MSHF utilizes such advertising companies to provide advertisements
on our Website, MSHF may provide them with your log-in name and any demographic
information about you that we collect. Those advertising companies may
combine that data with non-personally identifiable data collected by
the advertising company from your computer solely for the purpose of
delivering on our Website advertisements that are targeted to you.
Circumstances may arise where we are required to disclose your personal
information to third parties for purposes other than to support your
customer relationship with MSHF, such as in connection with a corporate
divestiture or dissolution where we sell all or a portion of our business
or assets (including our associated customer lists containing your personal
information), or if disclosure is required by law or is pertinent to
judicial or governmental investigations or proceedings.
YOU CAN OPT OUT OF RECEIVING FURTHER MARKETING FROM MSHF AT ANY TIME
We will send you information about our various products and services,
or other products and services we feel may be of interest to you. Only
MSHF (or agents or contractors working on behalf of MSHF and under confidentiality
agreements) will send you these direct mailings. If you do not want to
receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal
information. Or, at any time you can easily opt out of receiving further
marketing from MSHF by emailing us at Webmaster@HersheyPA.com.
OUR COMMITMENT TO DATA SECURITY
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the
correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information
we collect online.
