Starbucks Corporation (“Starbucks”) owns and operates the Internet site located at http://pledge5.starbucks.com (the “Site”), located on servers in the United States. This Privacy Policy is designed to notify you about how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personally identifiable information that we collect on this Site only (“Personal Information”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other online or offline collection, use, disclosure or other processing of personally identifiable information by Starbucks, other than the information directly captured through the Site. Starbucks reserves the right to fully use, disclose, and process any information collected via the Site that is not in personally identifiable form.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. Each time you visit the Site, you consent to the collection, use, disclosure, and processing of Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In particular, if you are located in a jurisdiction outside the United States, you consent to the transfer of your Personal Information to our servers and computer systems in the United States, a country that may not provide an equivalent level of data protection to the laws in your home jurisdiction. If you provide any Personal Information that relates to another person, you hereby state and agree that you have obtained proper consent from such person for the use, disclosure, and processing of such Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. You may withdraw consent by contacting us at the address at the end of this Privacy Policy and requesting such withdrawal.
This Site actively collects Personal Information from you only when you submit your email address on the Site to receive additional information. We use your email address only to send you additional information about the Site or the inaugural promotion.
The Site may passively collect certain kinds of information that reveal the frequency with which you visit the Site, the times and dates of your visits, the pages you reviewed, and other information. Information is passively collected through various means. We use Internet protocol (IP) addresses to identify server problems, and administer the Site. We use navigational data, including log files and click-stream data, to identify information about your web browser and operating system, and the time period in which you visit the Site or a portion of the Site. This information is used to administer the Site, and otherwise improve Site content.
Like many Internet sites, the Site uses small text files called “cookies” that are sent to the hard drive of your computer to store bits of information related to your use of the Site. Cookies can store a variety of information, including IP addresses, navigational data, server information, data transfer times, user preferences, and passwords needed to access the Site. The “Help” section of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have your browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to configure your browser to reject cookies altogether. However, if you disable cookies, you might not be able to access important functions or features of this Site and your use of the Site may be limited.. The Site does not combine passively collected information (as described above) with actively collected Personal Information and passively collected information will not be recorded as part of the user’s profile.
We do not disclose your email address, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy and expressly permitted by law.
We also may disclose Personal Information as necessary or appropriate:
In any of these situations, the recipient of the Personal Information may be located in the United States or another jurisdiction that may not provide an equivalent level of data protection to the laws in your home jurisdiction.
If you wish to update any Personal Information you have previously provided, or to exercise any right of access, rectification, deletion, or opposition to the processing of your Personal Information that you may have under applicable law, please contact us at Customer Care
Transmissions over the Internet are never 100% secure or error-free. As a result, we do not, and cannot, guarantee the security, accuracy, or completeness of Personal Information. However, we do maintain reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to protect Personal Information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure or access.
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time and in our sole discretion, except where prior notice or consent is required by law. If the Privacy Policy for this Site changes, the revised Privacy Policy will be posted at the “Privacy Policy” link on the Site’s home page. In the event that the change is significant or material, we will notify you of such a change by revising the link on the home page to read “Newly Revised Privacy Policy.” Please check the Privacy Policy frequently and particularly before you submit additional information via the Site. Your continued use of the Site constitutes acceptance of such changes in the Privacy Policy, except where further steps are required by applicable law. This Privacy Policy was last revised on January 5, 2009.
