Privacy Policy
We understand and appreciate that visitors and users of this website may be concerned about their privacy, and the confidentiality and security of any information that may be provided to us. This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices in relation to the collection, use, and storage of information that you may provide via this website or any of our applications. Please be sure to read the entire Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

By using this website you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use. Whenever you submit information you consent to the collection, use, disclosure and storage of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
How does Snack-in-the-Box collect information?
Like many websites Snack-in-the-Box collects information from its users from logging systems (see passive information collection) and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail, feedback forms, other interactive elements and the facilitation of direct contact by phone or in person (see active information collection). Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and so on).
Passive information collection
As you navigate through a website, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, cookies, internet tags, and navigational data collection. Information collected includes server addresses, top-level domain names, dates and times of visits to the website, pages accessed and documents downloaded, previous websites visited and the type of browser used.
An IP Address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user's computer). We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to Snack-in-the-Box website.
The Snack-in-the-Box website require the use of cookies. A "cookie" is a bit of information that a website sends to your web browser that helps the website remember information about you and your preferences.
"Session" cookies are temporary bits of information that are erased once you exit your web browser window or otherwise turn your computer off. Session cookies are used to improve navigation on websites and to collect aggregate statistical information.
"Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (for example, program settings), helping to determine what areas of the system users find most valuable, and customising the system based on your preferences.
Active information collection
Active information collection could be considered a more traditional, and more transparent collection process. You will usually be aware that you are providing personal information.
We may actively collect personal information in the following ways:

- Using other methods if legally required to do so.
We will exchange information and collect user information for security and user tracking purposes.
What information is collected?
We will collect a variety of low-level identifiable information as a result of site logging and statistical recording. This information includes but may not be limited to Internet Protocol (IP) address, search terms, browser type, site linking information, operating system, time of access, length of access and pages accessed. This information is generally aggregated in a form that is not individually identifiable in order to analyse trends, administer the system and gather broad demographic statistics.

However, you should keep in mind that the transmission of information over the Internet is not completely secure or error-free.

You are responsible for notifying affected parties, the ICO and any other relevant authorities within 72 hours of being made aware of such a breach.

We will assist and advise where possible to ensure we both meet any legal obligations in the relation to the handling and the processing of personally identifiable information.
Sub-processing of personal information
Snack-in-the-Box does not subcontract any of its processing operations without your prior written consent.
How can I correct, delete or access my personal information?
You are able to request access to the information that is being held about you. We will provide you with details of the personally identifiable information and for what purposes it is being held.
You may also request that we update, amend any personally identifiable information being held about you. We will take reasonable steps to update or correct as soon as possible any information in our possession that is inaccurate, incomplete, out-of-date or misleading.
You may also choose to "opt-out" and instruct us to delete all personal information that pertains to you, with the exception of any information that we are legally required to store. We cannot however delete disclosed information, see "Who does Snack-in-the-Box disclose collected information to?".
