part of this service, The SUBWAY® Group’s online advertisements and Web sites
are sometimes delivered with icons that help consumers understand how their data

information we have collected with third-party advertising partners. These
advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected
from other websites) for purposes of delivering future targeted advertisements
to you when you visit other (non-SUBWAY®) sites within their networks. This
practice is commonly referred to as "interest-based advertising" or "online

directed to you based on anonymous, non-personally identifiable information
collected by advertising partners over time and across websites. These
advertisements provide a mechanism to opt-out of the advertising partners' use

9. Children and Data Collection

DAI adheres to the federal privacy protection standards as stated in the
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). We care about the safety of
children. We will not knowingly allow anyone under 13 to provide us any
personally identifying information. Children under 13 years of age are required
to obtain the express permission of a parent or guardian before submitting any
Personal Information about themselves (such as their names, e-mail address, and
phone number) over the Internet. If a child has provided us with
personally-identifiable information without the consent of a parent or guardian,
the parent or guardian of that child should contact the Privacy Officer
immediately at
privacyofficer@subway.com. We will use reasonable efforts to promptly delete
the child's information from our servers.
10. A Note to Parents/Guardians—Additional Information About Children’s
Privacy
- (Top)
At DAI, children’s privacy is important to us. Therefore, we take additional
measures to help children protect their privacy while online including not
asking them to disclose more personally identifiable information than is
necessary for them to participate in an activity and encouraging them to use
non-personally identifiable screen names rather than their real names.
DAI is dedicated to protecting your privacy and handling any personal
information we obtain from you with care and respect. This Children's Privacy
Statement is designed to answer your questions regarding our privacy policies
and principles with respect to children under the age of 13. DAI recognizes the
need to provide additional privacy protections when children visit our website
at www.subway.com.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") requires that we inform
parents and legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal
information from children under 13 years of age; and that we obtain the consent
of parents and guardians in order for children under 13 years of age to use
certain features of our website. Also, when we use the term "parent", we mean to
include legal guardians.
Children can participate in many of our features without providing personally
identifiable information. However, to enable their participation in certain of
our interactive features, we may ask children to provide us with personally
identifiable information. The types of information we may request include first
name as well as the child’s and parent’s email addresses. We use a child’s email
address to respond to a specific request to participate in an activity (e.g.,
participate in a contest or sweepstakes, respond to their question, enable them
to subscribe to a newsletter). We use parents’ e-mail addresses to obtain their
consent or notify them of their child's online activities and enable the parent
to unsubscribe the child from a newsletter or other similar activity.
We
do not share children's personally identifiable information with outside third
parties not bound by this Privacy Policy. Sometimes, we use agents or
contractors to help us conduct a contest or sweepstakes, send prizes to winners,
or provide customer service related to activities on the site. In these cases,
we require the agent or contractor to keep the information confidential and to
use it only for the specific services they are performing.
At
any time parents can refuse to permit us to collect further personal information
from their child and can request that any personal information we have collected
be deleted from our records.
We
will provide parents notice by e-mail of any material changes in the way we
intend to collect, use, and/or share their child’s personal information. Please
note that, at all times, parents should update their personal information to
provide us a current email address.
If you would like to review any personally identifiable information that we have
collected online from your child, have this information deleted, and/or request
that there be no further collection or use of your child's information, or if
you have questions about these information practices, you may contact our
Privacy Officer. The Privacy Officer can be reached by telephone at: (203)
877-4281 or 1-800-888-4848; by Facsimile at: (203) 783-7479; by email at:
