Personal Information We Collect
We may ask you for your first name, last name, e-mail address, birth date or age, street address, city, state, zip code, mobile or other telephone number. We may also ask for your comments, suggestions, or other information relating to our site, our products or services, or the company. Other specific types of information may be requested in connection with contests, sweepstakes, other promotional offers or other marketing efforts. Also, your e-mail address and/or your domain name will be automatically recognized when you visit our site.
Our primary purpose in gathering this personal information is to use it within the Anheuser-Busch family of companies as we continue to work on being the world's best beer company and fulfilling your wishes. For example, we may use your personal information to notify you that you have been selected as a winner or potential winner of a contest or sweepstakes sponsored by Anheuser-Busch, to send you current Bud Light information or offers (if you have given us permission to do so), or for other purposes as described when you submit your information. Please note that this website does not collect or process orders for merchandise; if you want to order merchandise, you will be redirected to the BudShop.com website, which has a different privacy policy. Please review BudShop.com's privacy policy before ordering any merchandise.
Other Information We Collect
Cookies are used on all Anheuser-Busch sites. A "cookie" is a small file that we save on your computer's hard drive that contains non-personal information. Our cookies help to give you faster access to pages you have already visited, allow you to personalize your pages, and help you to participate in activities or events on the site. They also assist us in customizing our offerings to you. If you leave the site and then return, cookies will tell us what things you have already collected so that you do not have to start all over again. Cookies store multi-page data entry until data is submitted to a database (i.e., in connection with an extensive poll or survey), and prevent further participation in a poll or survey by a particular browser. At sites that offer shopping, cookies keep track of items in your shopping cart. Cookies do not contain any personal information about a specific user, and we do not use cookies or other non-consensual methods to take personally identifiable or online contact infformation about you off of your computer. We do not use cookies for direct marketing or promotional purposes, and cookies are not used at this site to collect information specifically about you for sharing with third parties. We also use other technology, called clear GIFs, to provide us with other important anonymous information, such as when an e-mail has been opened.
Sharing of Personal Information
We want to be very clear: We do not obtain personal information about you at this site other than that which you choose to provide, and we will not sell, rent, trade or otherwise disclose the personal information you provide us to anyone outside of the Anheuser-Busch family of companies or their advertising and promotional agencies and consultants for their commercial marketing purposes, except in those specific instances where you expressly give us permission to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to collect, use, and disclose any information, including but not limited to, personally identifiable information, we may deem necessary, in our sole discretion, to comply with any law, regulation, legal request, or government request. Without assuming any obligation to do so, we also reserve the right to collect and share any information we deem necessary to investigate or take action in connection with suspected fraud, illegal activities, possible harm to persons or property, or as otherwise required or permitted by law.
