What We Collect and How We Use It
 

We collect business information, like business name, postal address, e-mail address, line of business classification, etc., when submitted by our visitors. The information you provide is used to fulfill your specific request. For example, to sign-in for the "My Nestlé" section of the web site; to receive a copy of the Nestlé Professional Newsletter; to receive product and promotions information; and to enter a specific sweepstakes or other online promotion. Except for the limited instances noted below, we do not share personally identifiable business information collected at this site with third parties. The exceptions are:

  • We share your information with our partner agencies who assist us in administering the site and various programs and promotions. They can only use the information to administer our site and programs. These agencies are bound to keep your information private and secure.
  • With your understanding and approval, we may provide your information to a Nestlé distributor.
  • From time to time we may run a joint promotion on this site with another company or organization. You will always be advised if another company is also collecting information, and you will always be able to access that company's privacy policy.
