customers. The information provided is normally used only by Häagen-Dazs

to join the Häagen-Dazs™ Rewards Program or to enter a sweepstakes
or other online promotions the information is used to fulfill your
request. In addition, we may use the information to send you (by regular
mail or email) information about our Häagen-Dazs products and programs
which may interest you. Some of the Häagen-Dazs programs may include
joint offers from our company and other reputable companies. Except
for the limited instances below, we do not share personally identifiable
information collected at this site with nonaffiliated third parties.

us in administering the site and various programs and promotions.
They can only use the information to administer our site and programs.
These agencies are bound 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. You will be given the option of
whether or not you want another company to have your personal information.
- We may also disclose personal information if we are required to
do so by law 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 our company, its customers and the public.
We may on occasion combine information we receive with outside records
to enhance our consumer profiles for our own marketing purposes.

as opposed to individual information, with third parties.
