Food Fetchers strives to maintain high standards for the protection of privacy over the Internet. The purpose of this statementis to explain to our visitors the type of information Food Fetchers obtains about visitors to our Web sites, how we gather it, how we use it, how long we retain it, and how visitors can restrict the use or disclosure of personally identifiable information.
Information We Collect
The personal information Food Fetchers obtains about individual visitors to our Web sites is information the visitor supplies voluntarily. This means that you can visit our Web sites without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. To gauge the effectiveness of our Web sites, we do collect some generic information about our visitors. Our web servers automatically recognize a visitor's domain name (such as .com, .edu, etc.), the point of entry from which a visitor enters our site including Web pages, User Guide CDs or banner ads, which pages a visitor visits on our site, and how much time a visitor spends on each page. This information is not linked to any personally identifiable information about the visitor. We or our contractors use "cookies" to track use of our sites and to track what sites users came from, but do not collect personally identifiable information via these “cookies.” We aggregate this information and use it to evaluate and improve our Web sites. We do not track user activity on sites outside of Food Fetchers.
Food Fetchers may collect personally identifiable information (such as name, e-mail address, postal address) and/or third party personally identifiable information through this Web site. In some situations, such as when you order a product or service online or register for online billing, Food Fetchers will collect billing information, such as your credit card number and billing address, and we may share this information with our third parties contractors (such as your credit card company solely for the purpose of processing the transaction you have requested). You may choose to provide individual information to Food Fetchers in a number of ways through our Web sites such as by:
• Ordering a product or service from us;
• Sending us e-mail;
• Registering to receive news, public policy updates, or information about our products or services;
• Applying for a job or a grant; or
• Entering a contest.
When visitors supply information about themselves for a specific purpose, Food Fetchers uses the information for that purpose (such as to provide the information the visitor has requested or to consider a visitor for a particular job). When visitors use our Web sites to order products or services, or to request information about them, we may use the individual information as we would use the same information obtained offline—for example, to evaluate your service needs and contact you regarding additional services you may find useful. You have the right to choose not to receive this information by notifying us of your preference.
We do not sell individual information obtained online about our visitors. And, we will not disclose the individual information provided to us online to anyone outside of Food Fetchers or our contractors unless you specifically authorize it (by purchasing a product or service using a credit card, for example, you authorize us to provide information regarding the purchase to your credit card company), it is required by law, or disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of customers, employees or property. If you provide individual information to us in the context of an event Food Fetchers sponsors with another company, such as a contest, or if you register on a co-sponsored site or feature, you may also be providing the information to the co-sponsor. In those circumstances, the co-sponsor's privacy policy will control, so review their information carefully. Food Fetchers from time to time uses third party contractors to perform services such as Web site management, site design, site hosting and special promotions but does not use user information for other purposes beyond providing specific services on Food Fetchers Web site.
E-mail
Food Fetchers does not send unsolicited "junk" e-mail (spam). We may use e-mail to communicate with our customers, to respond to visitors' e-mails, to confirm orders placed online, and to send information that a visitor has requested. If you receive an unwanted e-mail from us, you can simply reply to ask not to receive future e-mails.
Food Fetchers provides an unsubscribe function in its e-mail campaigns in order for subscribers to opt out of further e-mail communications from us.
Use of Cookies
Food Fetchers Web sites also use "cookies," which may be sent by contractors that we use to track how our Web sites are used. They allow us to serve you better. When you use our sites, we or our contractors send information, a cookie, to your computer and it is stored there. When you return to our sites, your computer sends the cookie back to us or our contractor. This allows our server to recognize your computer and any settings you created on our sites. It restores those settings so you don't have to enter the same information every time you visit. For example, if you entered your ZIP code on a visit to our site, when you return you will see information for that ZIP code without typing it in again. It also allows us to track non-personally identifiable information about how our Web sites are used and how to improve them. The fact that our server recognizes your computer when it retrieves the cookies does not mean that Food Fetchers is actually acquiring information about you. You can set your browser to delete cookies or to tell you before you accept one. Look in your browser's Options or Preferences menu.
Security
Food Fetchers uses Secure Socket Layer technology with encryption for the transmission of sensitive data such as credit card information.
Food Fetchers is committed to safeguarding customer privacy on our Web site. We require our employees to protect the privacy of information about our customers and expect our partners and suppliers to do so as well. You can feel confident that your individual information will be protected when you access your account or order products or services from our Web sites. We employ security measures to safeguard your transactions with us.
Compliance With Laws
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web sites.
Links to Other Web Sites
The Food Fetchers Web sites contain links to other sites. We are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices employed by other sites. To improve the services it can offer you, Food Fetchers may opt to expand its capabilities for obtaining information about users in the future. Food Fetchers will update this privacy statement continually to ensure that you are aware of developments in this area. |
