What information does Applica collect and how do we use this
information?
We may request personal information from you for processing orders
and shipping products, conducting contests or sweepstakes, and
for product registration. This may include your name, address,
e-mail address, telephone number, etc., as well as information
related to customer satisfaction surveys, customer purchasing
habits or other purchasing information.
Our web-sites allow you to contact us directly with questions
or comments regarding our products, services, web-sites, or to
register products. The process requires you to give certain personal
information so that you may complete the warranty registration.
We also maintain data files to ensure that we quickly resolve
customer comments or questions and implement improvements based
on those comments. We may conduct sweepstakes or other contests
on our web-site, which require personal information to be provided
to qualify for participation in the promotion or contest. This
information is used primarily as a means to notify the winners.
In an effort to continually improve our products and services,
we may use personal information to conduct market research and
on-line surveys. This may involve contacting recent and/or past
web-site visitors who have provided personal information to Applica.
Our web servers may automatically monitor the number of visitors,
the average time spent on the site, the popularity of our web-sites,
and any programming errors or failures on any of our web-sites
in order to determine the effectiveness of the Applica web-site
and to make improvements to the website.
Does Applica share your information with other third parties?
Applica does not currently share your e-mail address or personal
information with any other parties without your prior consent;
however, we may share personal information with our business partners
in order to facilitate the process of servicing your products,
to help you exchange your products, and to better serve you. Applica
may share aggregate data about our sales, customers, traffic patterns,
and other related site information with respectable third parties.
None of this data is related to any individual's name without
their consent.
Does Applica use cookies?
Applica uses "cookies" on this website because they help us in
many ways to make your visit to our website more enjoyable and
meaningful to you. Cookies are text information files that your
web browser places on your computer when you visit a website.
Applica may use such "cookie" technology to obtain information
from you as an online visitor. Most browsers accept cookies automatically,
but can be configured not to accept them or to indicate when a
cookie is being sent. Applica may also use so-called "web-beacons"
to access the information contained in its cookies within the
network of the Applica websites.
Does Applica have any special privacy policies with respect
to children?
Applica encourages parents and guardians to monitor and participate
in their children's online activities. No information should be
submitted to this site by users under 13 years of age, and users
under 13 years old are not allowed to register for newsletters,
clubs or activities. Users under 18 years of age are not allowed
to make purchases or participate in contests. Where appropriate,
Applica may ask you to indicate your age to verify compliance
with these policies. Applica does not knowingly collect information
from our guests under 13 years of age or provide any personally
identifying information from such guests to any third party for
any reason whatsoever. We do not allow guests known to be under
13 years of age to receive direct marketing communications from
Applica or from third parties.
How do I stop Applica from contacting me via e-mail in the future?

products or tips for use in the home or kitchen. We have placed
a box on the bottom of our order form where you can check "No"
if you do not wish to receive any product information from Applica.

request or permit the submission of your opinions/ideas. In such
instances you will be required to agree to the terms of an Applica
prepared agreement related to the provision of such information
prior to its submission.
What about Applica's links to other sites?
