We can be reached by email at privacyofficer@sfaft.org, or you can call us at 1-800-992-6141. The Subway Franchisee Advertising Fund Trust ("SFAFT"), the sponsor of the www.subwayfreshbuzz.com Web site, values individual privacy, and we want to give our web site visitors the opportunity to know what information we collect about them and how SFAFT collects, protects, uses, discloses and otherwise manages the information gathered, in conformance with applicable law. At certain points on the www.subwayfreshbuzz.com web site, you may be asked to submit information that may personally identify you ("Personal Information" or "Personally Identifiable Information"). All Personally Identifiable Information that we gather is collected in a fair and non-intrusive manner, with your consent, in order to better serve you. Personally Identifiable Information that you submit via this web site is only accessible to SFAFT employees, contractors and service providers who need the information for the purposes for which it is collected or as you consent. This Privacy Policy applies to the collection of Personal Information at www.subwayfreshbuzz.com . Different privacy policies and procedures may apply to the collection of Personal Information by Doctor's Associates Inc. ("DAI"), on its Web site at www.subway.com and offline; to the independently owned and operated SUBWAY® restaurants; to other Web sites; and to information that we obtain offline. Collection and Use of Personal Information For the areas of the www.subwayfreshbuzz.com web site where the collection of Personally Identifiable Information is necessary, you will be aware that such information is required because you will have to complete an online form. We may collect Personally Identifiable Information from you, for example, when you visit areas on the www.subwayfreshbuzz.com where you can submit your name, address and/or other Personal Information in order to: enter a SUBWAY® sweepstakes; request a SUBWAY® coupon; or ask for tips on healthy eating from Jared. The Personal Information that you submit is gathered only on a voluntary basis; you may choose not to provide Personal Information and you will still be able to visit most of the web site, although you may not be able to participate in certain interactive activities. We may collect limited Personally Identifiable Information, including, but not limited to your name and/or any "nickname", date of birth, email and postal address and any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact you, as well as information about your personal/product preferences, survey responses and online activities, if any, that is known by SFAFT. We may also collect limited Personal Information about others from you including, but not limited to, name and email address.
We may collect Personal Information for one of several different purposes, for example:
- to administer your participation in a contest or sweepstakes and for other purposes stated on the entry form, such as to allow us to contact you notification of a potential prize you may have won;
- to allow us to send you the specific information or materials that you have requested, such as a coupon, newsletter, or other materials;
- to enable you to communicate with friends, for example, to send an electronic greeting card or a notice about a promotion, or to respond to an email or other inquiry or request;
- to help improve our web site and our services, or to customize your experience at our web site.
Please note that the privacy policies of affiliates and/or third party web sites, including but not limited to, www.subway.com and the Subway Online Store may differ from those of SFAFT. You should carefully review the relevant third party web site's privacy policy and terms of use in order to understand its policies and practices regarding the collection and use of Personally Identifiable Information before providing any Personal Information. A Note to Parents/Guardians SFAFT takes special measures to help maintain and protect the personal privacy of children under 13 years of age for the purposes of complying with the Children's Online Privacy and Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA") in the United States. For more information about SFAFT's privacy practices for safeguarding the Personal Information of children, please go to our web site for children, http://subway-kids.com/privacy.htm, and the Privacy Policy for that web site. The www.subwayfreshbuzz.com web site is a general audience site that is neither designed nor intended to collect any Personally Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. At the www.subwayfreshbuzz.com web site we have put in to place certain screens to ensure that children under 13 do not submit Personally Identifiable Information, and we do not knowingly accept any information from children under the age of 13. However, if the parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 believes that the child has provided us with Personally Identifiable Information, the parent or guardian of that child should contact us at privacyofficer@sfaft.org if they want this information deleted from our files. If SFAFT otherwise obtains knowledge that it has Personally Identifiable Information about a child under 13 in its files, we will delete that information from out existing files so that it is not in retrievable form. Data Integrity and Security
We strive to keep any information you provide as secure as possible, and we require our agents, affiliates and service providers to follow the same high standards. We have implemented technical and organizational measures designed to help secure your Personally Identifiable Information from theft, accidental loss, and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
SFAFT takes reasonable steps to ensure that data is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current. To provide you with an increased level of security online, access to your Personal Information on certain of our web sites may be protected with a password you select. We strongly recommend that you do not disclose your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication. International Visitors While we operate internationally, the servers that will host, store and process information relating to www.subwayfreshbuzz.com are currently based in the United States. Unless otherwise specified, data submitted to www.subwayfreshbuzz.com will be processed by us in the United States, where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world. By providing Personally Identifiable Information to us you authorize the export of such Personally Identifiable Information to the United States and its storage and use as specified herein, which includes the use of cookies as described above. Changes SFAFT will maintain Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In the future, we may modify this Privacy Policy. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes to this Privacy Policy. We will use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy under which the information was collected. However, if we are going to use Personally Identifiable Information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users by email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. If users have opted-out of all communications with the site, or deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will we use their Personally Identifiable Information in this new manner. How You Can Access, Control and Update Information About You We want to be sure that we keep only the most accurate and up-to-date Personal Information in our records. Therefore, whenever you believe that your Personal Information needs to be updated, you can email us at privacyofficer@sfaft.org to update your contact information.

To protect your privacy, we will take reasonable steps to help verify your identity before granting access or making changes.
