As a matter of policy, ChefMealKits will never sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. However, the following describes some of the ways that we may disclose your personally identifiable information.
a) Advertisers:
We aggregate (gather up data across all user accounts) personally identifiable information and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for other marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these situations, we do not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to identify you personally. Certain information, such as your name, e-mail address, password, credit card number, and bank account number are never disclosed to third party advertisers.
b) ChefMealKits Community
Your User Name is displayed throughout the Site and is therefore available to the public. All of your activities on the Site will be identifiable to your User Name. Other people can see your feedback rating and associated comments, the favourites you have grabbed, and so on. Therefore, if you associate your name with your User Name, the people you have revealed your name to will be able to personally identify your ChefMealKits activities. Although our pages are coded with robot exclusion headers, individuals and corporations may illegally attempt to automatically collect your e-mail address from the Site. We also provide a number of ways to allow other users to find out more about you and your activities on the Site, such as our blog posts. Further, we may send out notices to you or other community members regarding suspicious activity or policy violations on the Site.
As part of the buying and selling process, ChefMealKits will share information between the two members involved in the transaction. You may obtain another ChefMealKits member's e-mail address, shipping address, and/or other information. As described in ChefMealKits's Terms of Use, you have a limited license to use this information only for ChefMealKits-related communications or for ChefMealKits-facilitated transactions. ChefMealKits has not granted you a license to use the information for unsolicited commercial messages. Without express consent from that person, you must not add any ChefMealKits member to your e-mail or physical mailing list.
c) Items and Services offered on the Site by third parties:
ChefMealKits employs other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf, and we need to share your information with them to provide products and services to you. Examples include but are not limited to fulfilling orders, handling billing disputes and collections, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance and providing customer service (example shipping and payment gateway)
When you a load a page on ChefMealKits that has a social plug-in from a third-party site or service, such as a Like or Send button, you are also loading content from that third-party site. That site may request cookies directly from your browser. These interactions are subject to the privacy policy of the third-party site.
We can only speak for ourselves; this policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that ChefMealKits does not own or control, or individuals that ChefMealKits does not employ or manage. If you provide your information to others on ChefMealKits or throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to the use or disclosure of the information you provide to them. ChefMealKits does not control the privacy policies of third parties, and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable. ChefMealKits is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of other websites on the Internet, even those linked to or from the ChefMealKits site. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.
d) Search Engines.
For others finding you via the internet it is inevitable that we organise our website in a way so that search engines as for example "Google" can generate information of our registered users when scanning our website. The following data is collected: user name, shop name, shop description, product titles and descriptions. If you wish your data to be deleted or if you cancel the contract we delete your data immediately. As a general rule, your data in Internet search engines is deleted within 60 days. We do not have any influence upon when your data is deleted and can therefore not be held liable for this.
e) Legal Requests:
We cooperate with law enforcement and regulatory inquiries, as well as other third parties to enforce laws, such as: intellectual property rights, fraud and other rights, to help protect you and the community from bad actors. Therefore, in response to a verified request by law enforcement or other government officials relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose your name, city, state, telephone number, e-mail address, UserID history, fraud complaints, and bidding and listing history without a subpoena. Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy and our ability to keep the community free from bad actors, we will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement or other government officials without a subpoena, court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss; or report suspected illegal activity. Further, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose your name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, e-mail, and company name to Intellectual Property right's owners under confidentiality agreement, as we in our sole discretion believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity.
Due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose personal information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the Site. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.
