Information
Collected via Marketing Initiatives
When marketing
via email or web banner, Chocolate Expressions does
not collect any personally-identifiable information
about you, such as your name, address, phone
number or email address. Chocolate Expressions,
however, collects non-personal information
about you, such as the server your computer
is logged onto, your browser type (for example,
Netscape or Internet Explorer), and whether
you responded to and e-mail or web banner.

Expressions is used for the purpose
of target marketing and measuring a media's
effectiveness on behalf of Chocolate Expressions's
clients and investors. For additional information
on the information that is collected by Chocolate
Expressions you may contact us by clicking
here. However, non-personal information
collected by Chocolate Expressions in
the course of media delivery can be associated
with a user's personal information if that
user has agreed to receive personally-tailored
media such as creating an ID in our shopping
cart or subscribing to a newsletter or opting
in where the user voluntarily provides personal
information in response to an ad (a survey
or purchase form, for example). In these situations, Chocolate
Expressions (or a third party engaged
by Chocolate Expressions) collects
the information on behalf of the advertiser
and/or Web site. This information is used by
the advertiser and/or Web site so that you
can receive the goods, services or information
that you requested. Where indicated, Chocolate

in aggregate form to get a better general understanding
of the type of individuals viewing or visiting
the Web sites we produce.

provide a way for you to opt-out of any communication
from the sweepstakes manager that is not
related to awarding prizes for the sweepstakes.
Entry forms must further provide consumers
with a choice whether to receive email marketing
materials from third parties. When you enter
a Chocolate Expressions sweepstakes
or giveaway, the information you provide
is not being shared with any third party,
unless you agree by checking the opt-in box
on the sweepstakes entry form. If you enter
a sweepstakes, you agree that the sweepstakes
sponsor may use your name in relation to
announcing and promoting the winners of the
sweepstakes. See the official rules of the
sweepstakes you are entering for additional
information. Chocolate Expressions does
collect aggregate, anonymous information
about the sweepstakes. That information is
primarily used to help sweepstakes managers
choose prizes and make other decisions regarding
the organization of the sweepstakes or giveaways. Chocolate
Expressions does not associate information
provided through the sweepstakes with your
other web browsing activities.
