Personal Information
This is the official Lindt Gold Bunny web site of Lindt & Sprüngli (USA), Inc. (a subsidiary of Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG) ("Lindt"), makers of fine chocolates. We at Lindt respect your concerns about privacy. Accordingly, we have enacted the following policies which are intended to protect your privacy and ensure that all voluntarily submitted personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. As we continue to develop our web site and take advantage of technologies to improve the services we provide, our policies will continue to evolve in order to maintain the same standards of privacy protection.
We only collect personal information when you request our services, and only use the information collected to provide that service for you. When requesting a service, you may also choose to receive updates and special offers ("newsletters") from Lindt. Like all services provided through our web site, the choice to receive Lindt newsletters is optional and you may change your preference at any time.
Any personal information provided will not be sold, rented, traded or otherwise shared with anyone outside of Lindt, or used for reasons beyond those contemplated by this statement. None of Lindt's assistants (such as our shipping or credit card company) retain, share, store or use personal information for any reason other than providing the requested service.
Access to Personal Information
Our goal is to provide our customers with the best service possible. To do this, we need to make sure that our information is accurate, current, and reliable for its intended use. If your personal information changes or if you no longer wish to utilize any Lindt Gold Bunny services, you may correct, amend, or delete your account information at any time. As we continue to globalize our web services, we hope to provide online access capabilities to all of our users. At present, online access to personal information is available only in select locations. If you are visiting our web site and are located in a region that offers online access capabilities, you may access your information at any time by visiting our Account Information page at www.lindtusa.com. If you are located in a region that does not yet offer this service, you may correct, amend, or delete your account information at any time by contacting Customer Service via e-mail [consumerservice-us@lindt.com] or postal mail [Lindt & Sprungli, 1 Fine Chocolate Place, Stratham NH 03885].
Non-Personal Information
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing non-personally identifiable information about the user. We at Lindt do not believe that our customers should be subject to involuntary information collection or tracking practices regardless of whether the information is personally identifiable or not. LindtGoldBunny.com does not utilize cookies.
We allow some of our business partners to place their logo and a link on our web site if we think their business may be of interest to you. Please be aware that even though we try to choose partners who adhere to similar privacy standards and practices, we cannot control their use of cookies in relation to these links. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy policies of all the sites you visit.
Security
Lindt takes every precaution to protect our customers' information. When you submit personal information, it is protected both online and off-line. Whether you purchase a product, send a gift, or request our newsletters, you do so under up-to-date encryption/security policies and technological safeguards. All personal information is collected pursuant to these standards and is secured in databases for the sole and exclusive use of Lindt. Only those who need the information to perform a specific job (such as our billing clerks or customer service representatives) are granted access to personal information. Furthermore, all of our employees attend a mandatory security training session and are kept up-to-date on our privacy practices. Questions regarding our privacy policy, enforcement procedures, or security measures can be answered at any time by contacting Customer Service [consumerservice-us@lindt.com] or postal mail [Lindt & Sprungli, 1 Fine Chocolate Place, Stratham NH 03885].
