Darden Restaurants respects the privacy of every individual who visits our
website. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for
marketing purposes. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to learn more
about the ways in which we use and protect your personal information. By
visiting our website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy
Policy.
If you visit our website:
In general, you can visit our website without telling us who you are or
revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself. Our web
servers collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors.
In some cases, we may collect information about you that is not personally
identifiable. This information is collected using a “cookie” that enables us to
learn which advertisements bring users to our website. Cookies are small files
placed on your hard drive that allow us to collect that information. Darden
Restaurants, along with our ad management partner, uses this information to help
us manage online advertising. None of the information collected by a cookie is
personally identifiable, i.e., does not contain your name, address or e-mail
address.
Darden Restaurants also utilizes a third party to track and analyze usage and
volume statistical information from our website customers in order to constantly
improve the quality of our website. No data collected by a third party on behalf
of Darden Restaurants may be owned or used by such third party. Darden
Restaurants reserves the right to publish nonpersonally identifiable, summary
information regarding its website customers for promotional purposes and as a
representative audience for advertisers.
If you choose to identify yourself:
If you voluntarily provide us with personally identifying information, such as
your name, street address, email address, phone number, and birth date, we will
collect that information along with any other information you voluntarily
provide.
It is our policy not to distribute, sell, rent or in any way make available,
your name, e-mail address or any other personally identifiable information to
any third party.
When you participate in site features such as newsletters, sweepstakes, recipe
sharing, fresh to your door, etc., we may use the personally identifiable
information you provide through those features in the following ways, unless
stated otherwise:
- we may store and process that information to better understand your needs and
how we can improve our products and services, and
- we may communicate with you via e-mail or postal mail.
Deletion of Personal Information
If at any time you do not wish to have your personal information collected, you
may cancel your membership through our website. You may access, update, or
cancel your membership on our website at any time. Upon cancellation, all of
your personal information will be deleted from our system.
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
Darden Restaurants has no intention of collecting any personally identifiable
information (name, address, telephone number, birth date, or e-mail address)
from individuals under 13 years of age. If a child has provided us with
personally identifiable information, a parent or guardian of that child should
contact us at the e-mail address or phone number listed at the bottom of this
Statement if they would like this information deleted from our records. We will
use reasonable efforts to delete the child’s information from our existing
files.
