 McDONALD'S INTERNET PRIVACY POLICY
|
| |
|
| |
McDonald's Corporation ("McDonald's") is pleased to provide
information to all of its customers about its online privacy policy.
Please be assured that McDonald's uses its best efforts to protect the
privacy of visitors to this web site. |
| |
|
| |
Types of Information We Collect and How It Is
Used |
| |
|
| |
McDonald's only gathers personal information, such as, first and
last names, addresses and email addresses, when voluntarily submitted by
you. For example, personal information may be collected from you in order
to get your feedback on our web sites and our products or to enter you in
one of our contests or sweepstakes. |
| |
|
| |
Sharing of Personal Information |
| |
|
| |
McDonald's may share personal information within the McDonald's
Family. The McDonald's Family includes McDonald's Corporation, our
franchisees, our subsidiaries and our affiliates. Of course, any use of
this information by the McDonald's Family will comply with this policy.
Occasionally, with your permission, we will send marketing information to
you, such as discount coupons, information about new product offerings,
etc. If you do not elect to receive such materials, we will not send them
to you. |
| |
|
| |
Companies may be engaged by McDonald's to perform a variety of
functions, such as, fulfilling orders, assisting with promotions,
providing technical services for our web sites, etc. These companies may
have access to personal information if needed to perform such functions.
However, these companies may only use such personal information for the
purpose of performing that function and may not use it for any other
purpose. |
| |
|
| |
McDonald's does not sell, transfer or disclose personal information
to third parties outside the McDonald's Family. However, with your
permission, we will, on occasion send marketing information on behalf of
one of our business partners about products or services they provide that
may be of interest to you. You may be asked if you wish to receive
marketing materials from McDonald's business partners. If you elect to
receive such materials, McDonald's will not share your personal
information with such partners but rather will send a mailing or e-mail on
behalf of the partners. |
| |
|
| |
McDonald's reserves the right to use or disclose any information as
needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request, to protect the
integrity of the site, to fulfill your requests, or to cooperate in any
law enforcement investigation or an investigation on a matter of public
safety. |
| |
|
| |
Our Privacy Policy Regarding Children |
| |
|
| |
McDonald's is very sensitive to privacy issues. We are proud of our
longtime commitment to our customers. We are especially careful in any
communications with one of our most treasured customers - children.
On
our web sites, we offer many features, like games and coloring books,
which do not require a child to provide any personal information. We
collect only limited personal information from children 12 and under (like
their email addresses) to respond to their online requests. For example,
we may collect a child's email address in order to send the child a screen
saver, but we promptly delete the email address from our system. Or, we
may collect a child's email address in order to enter the child in a
sweepstakes. We may also ask a child to provide an email address of a
parent so we can notify the parent or seek consent. We will not collect
more detailed information from a child 12 and younger, such as a postal
address or a telephone number, without the consent of a parent or
guardian. McDonald's will not condition a child's participation in any
online activity on the child's disclosure of more personal information
than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. |
| |
|
| |
Personal information collected from children is used solely by
McDonald's or other entities that provide technical, fulfillment or other
services to McDonald's. For example, such entities may provide services,
such as, improving our web sites, fulfilling requests or administering
sweepstakes. This personal information is not sold or transferred to third
parties. |
| |
|
| |
We urge parents to regularly monitor and supervise their children's
on-line activities. |
| |
|
| |
Access |
| |

on-line. If at any time, you would like to correct the personal
information we have about you or if you would like to change your
preferences for contacts from us or on behalf of our business partners,
you can let us know by contacting us at the email or postal address listed
below. |

| |

|
| |
Other McDonald's Web Sites |
| |
|
| |
All McDonald's web sites operated by McDonald's Corporation will
adhere to this privacy policy. The policies of some McDonald's sites may
vary, however, because of local customs, practices or laws or due to
circumstances unique to that site. In all cases, however, sites operated
by McDonald's Corporation will honor the commitments to our customers set
forth in this policy regarding the collection and use of personal
information. |
| |
|
| |
Franchisee Web Sites |
| |
|
| |
Many McDonald's restaurants are owned and operated by franchisees,
who are independent businessmen and women. Some franchisees also operate
web sites. In many cases, franchisee sites follow this privacy policy.
However, please review the privacy policy of each site to determine the
privacy policies of that site. |
| |
|
| |
Changes to our Privacy Policy |
| |
|
| |
From time to time, it may be necessary for McDonald's to change
this privacy policy, so we suggest that you check here periodically. Rest
assured, however, that any changes will not be retroactively applied and
will not alter how we handle previously collected
information. |
