INFORMATION COLLECTED:
· Personally Identifying Information – Except as described herein, the
EarthFruits Yogurt™ website does not require user registration to access
content. While visiting the EarthFruits Yogurt™ website, you may
be asked to provide information that personally identifies you. "Personal
information" is information that can be associated with a specific person and
can be used to identify that person. This information is gathered on a voluntary
basis for the sole purpose of better serving you. You may choose not to
provide personal information and you still will be able to visit the EarthFruits
Yogurt™ website. The following items/site features are examples of content
on the EarthFruits Yogurt™ website where personal information may be sought:
· To register to participate in marketing programs;
· To request information about EarthFruits Yogurt™ products;
· To request information about EarthFruits Yogurt™ franchise opportunities;
and
· To register for any current sweepstakes or other offerings.
In addition to the above, we may also collect information from you when you
respond to a survey, email or other communication or participate in other
promotional site features that may exist from time to time.
· Non-Personally Identifying Information - Yoasis collects limited
non-personally identifying information your browser makes available when
connected to our website. For example, website log files are generated
that collect the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of the visitor, date, time,
pages visited, and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being
sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. If you turn cookies off,
you may lose some functionality for web sites. All information collected using
the above technology is used to operate, develop and improve our services.
Additionally, aggregate reports for website visitors are generated that do not
contain personally identifiable information. Advertising reports are
generated that show the IP addresses of visitors as well as specific pages
visited. This information may be sent to the advertiser to confirm the
number of "click-thrus." The advertiser normally already has this
information as a result of the user clicking on the advertisement. No
additional information about the visitor is supplied to the advertiser.
The log files are eventually deleted.
USE OF INFORMATION:
The personal information collected about you as described above may be used
in the following ways:

of content and offerings in which you are most interested;
