Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting FoodBusiness360.com, a Business360, Inc. site. Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this statement explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used at this Business360 site.

The Information We Collect and How We Use It

FoodBusiness360 registration forms request certain contact and profile information (like user name, email address, profession, etc). Some of the requested information is required in order to receive FoodBusiness360 services; other information is optional. The required information is clearly marked as such on the registration pages. FoodBusiness360 only obtains personal identifying information from subscribers if it is supplied voluntarily by the subscriber. Periodically, FoodBusiness360 will include a short reader poll in a FoodBusiness360 email, so that we can further tailor our content to reader preferences. In addition, FoodBusiness360 tracks the open-rates of our HTML emails and certain click behavior from those emails to help us identify which portions of our newsletters are most popular with our readers.

FoodBusiness360 uses this information in several ways:

• to provide relevant, personalized, targeted news and information via email
• to help target advertising messages included in our email newsletters so that we are able to continue providing our service to you at no cost
• to enable our customer service professionals to respond to your feedback
• to ensure that our free services are being used under non-commercial terms as defined by the Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/legalcode). Where we deem that free services are being provided for commercial use we will contact registered users to ask them to desist or upgrade to commercial terms.

Information Sharing

FoodBusiness360 does not share personal identification information collected on our sign-up forms and we will not share with any other partner organizations, advertisers or other third parties without first obtaining the explicit consent of the subscriber.

We also may collect or have a third-party collect on our behalf aggregated statistical information about our subscribers and the ways in which they use our products and services. This information does not identify you personally. We use this information for market research purposes and to improve the quality of the products and services we offer. We reserve the right to disclose aggregated, non-personally identifiable information collected from our users to third parties for any purpose.

Security

This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Our hardware infrastructure is housed in a controlled access facility that restricts access to authorized individuals with positive identification. The network infrastructure is protected by a firewall and traffic is monitored and logged both on the firewall and servers. Member information is backed up on a daily basis to protect against accidental loss.

Contacting FoodBusiness360

In the event that a user contacts FoodBusiness360 via email or using a feedback form, the user will not be subject to receive any communication other than a response to the email, unless specifically requested by the user.

Tell A Friend Feature

When a user elects to participate in our referral program to inform a friend about FoodBusiness360, we ask that user for the friend's name and email address.

The "friend" will not be defaulted into receiving any other secondary or promotional material.

FoodBusiness360 captures industry standard information solely for the purposes of analysis. Information contained in log files is intended for internal use only and will not be disclosed to our partners or any third parties.

You will have a choice as to whether we use your information in this different manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information stored in our database, we will post a notice on our Web site notifying users of the change.
