What We Collect and How We Use It

Personally Identifiable Information

We collect the following personally identifiable information: email addresses. This information is only collected when voluntarily submitted by visitors to help fulfill a specific offer or request. For example: to receive email updates or newsletters about the site, our products and promotions; to send you samples, if offered and requested; to enter a specific sweepstakes or other on-line promotion; or to respond to a question or issue in a contact or email section. The information you provide is used to fulfill your specific request, unless you give us permission to use it in another manner, for example when registering for a sweepstakes, you may opt in to receive future information from Dreyer’s.

If you elect to receive information from us, you may receive information by regular mail or email, depending on the information you provided at registration. From time to time, our outbound communications may feature products/services from other reputable organizations, companies or products that may interest you. Your personally identifiable information is not shared with these other companies. All mailings come from Dreyer’s or its agents, who are bound to keep information confidential.

We do not share personally identifiable information collected at this site with third parties, except for the limited instances noted below. The exceptions are:

• We may share your information with our agents who assist us in administering the site and various programs and promotions. They can only use the information to administer our site and programs. These agents are required to keep your information private and secure.
• From time to time we may run a joint promotion on this site with another company or organization. At the time of collection, you will always be advised if another company is also collecting information. We recommend you review that company’s privacy policy, and we may provide a link to that company’s privacy policy.
• Sometimes we run programs featuring another company’s service or products and you are given the opportunity to opt in to future receipt of information from that company. We recommend you review that company’s privacy policy, and we may provide a link to that company’s privacy policy.
• We may also disclose personally identifiable information if we are required to comply with laws, or if in our good faith judgment, such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, to respond to any claims, or to protect the rights of Dreyer’s, its customers and the public.
• In the event of an acquisition of all or part of Dreyer’s by another company, or in the event that Dreyer’s were to sell or dispose of all or a part of Dreyer’s business, the acquirer would have access to the information maintained by that Dreyer’s business, which could include personally identifiable information, subject to applicable law. Similarly, information may be transferred as part of a reorganization or insolvency proceeding.

Dreyer’s may on occasion combine information we receive with outside records to enhance our consumer profiles for our own marketing purposes.
