PRIVACY POLICY
Yummy & Trendy® takes your privacy and the protection of your personal data seriously. We have updated our Privacy Policy to provide increased clarity and comply with the new European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), effective on May 25, 2018.
GENERAL
Your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy is intended to give you confidence in the privacy and security of the personal information we obtain from you. However, we are not responsible for any use of your personal information you provide to third-party applications or websites that may be accessed via the products or website. We recommend that you review the privacy policy of any third-party applications or websites that you use.
This privacy policy explains what personal information is collected through this Website, how that information is used, to whom it's disclosed, and how it's safeguarded. This policy applies only to personal information collected through the Website, microsites, and mobile sites of Yummy & Trendy that display or link to this policy. By "personal information" we mean your identifying information (such as name, home address, and email address), and descriptive information (tastes and preferences) if coupled with your identifying information ("personally identifying information"). We may refer to Yummy & Trendy as "we," "us," , "our" or “Y & T” throughout this privacy policy.
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We collect and use personal information directly from you to allow us to process all the things typically associated with electronic and mobile commerce Websites. Examples of the information we collect include name, address, telephone number, mobile phone number, email address, personal preferences, credit card number, purchase and ordering information, demographical information, responses to survey questions and sizing information. This information is collected at various places: for instance, when you check out with your online order; subscribe to email offers, and mobile messaging offers; participate in surveys, contests, or sweepstakes; or interact with special-event or program offers. We collect information about you. And, when you provide it, we collect information about those you know. For example, we collect your gift recipient's contact information to process your gift orders. We use this information to do things such as: process your online orders; open an online account at your request; personalize your online experience with content and offers that are tailored to your interests; provide customer service, whether it's responding to a request or following up on an order; include you in surveys and contests; enable you to post your content, such as comments, images; facilitate networks of online social activity centered around our products and services; improve our website, improve the manner in which offers are made on our website, improve purchase decisions of our visitors and the interactions visitors have with our website; enable you to interact with third-party content service providers, whether by linking to their sites, viewing their content within our Web environment, or by viewing our content within their Web environment; and market our products and services-for instance, by adding you to our email list when you make an online purchase.
COOKIES
Cookies are small data files that a website you visit may save on your computer or handheld device that usually includes an anonymous unique identifier. Our website and those of our products may use cookies for user authentication, keeping track of your preferences, promotional campaigns, tracking our audience size and traffic patterns, and in certain other cases. We may include small graphic images in our email messages and newsletters to determine whether the messages were opened and the links were viewed. Third-party advertisers may also create and access cookies, which will be subject to their privacy policies – we accept no responsibility or liability for the use of such third parties’ cookies. If you do not wish cookies to be placed on your PC or handheld device, then they can be disabled in your web browser. The option to do so is normally found in your browser’s “security settings” section. Please note that permanently disabling cookies in your browser may hinder information (not including your name, address, credit card information, e-mail address, or telephone number) about your visit to deliver our ads on this and other Websites through their online advertising networks. These companies also provide this information to us which we, in turn, use to gauge how effective our ads are. If you'd like more information about how online network advertising works and what your choices are for the information that's collected via these third-party cookies.
Third-party websites and content
We may enable you to navigate to third-party sites and services, or otherwise display third-party content. We do this for your convenience. We do not endorse or generally have any affiliation with these third parties. And we don't control and aren't responsible for their Web practices. Whether their content appears within our Web environment (like a map frame), or you leave our Website for another site to view it, those service provider's terms, conditions, and privacy policies govern your online experience (unless there's a conspicuously posted statement by us that says otherwise). Please review their terms of service and privacy policies if you have any question about their practices.
List of the sites or content of these third parties:
(i) Interactive Maps
We may facilitate easy access to the online maps of content providers like Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo! There you can get quick location, driving, and contact information for stores.
(ii) Sweepstakes, Contests, and Survey Sites
We may rely on the expertise of third-party service providers to run sweepstakes, contests, and surveys. Navigation to these sites may be seamless so that it appears you're still in our Web site environment. In these cases, the third-party's privacy policy may apply to any personal information you provide in connection with the event. Please take note of who's running the event in question; and the terms, conditions, and policies that apply.
(iii) Social Networking or Other User-Generated-Content Sites, and Other Websites
We may at times facilitate easy access to third-party sites, like social networking sites and other sites that host user-generated content. This may include easy click-through access or even "single-sign on" to these sites. The third-party's privacy policy applies to any personal information you provide at these sites.
Information Shared with third parties
(i) Contractors
We use third-party "back-office" contractors to help handle parts of our business because of their expertise, resources, or scale. They help us do things like fulfill orders, process payments, monitor site activity, serve surveys and provide analysis from the surveys when combined with website use, maintain databases, administer and monitor emails, administer and send mobile messages, and provide consulting services. Contractors may also assist us in hosting microsites and mobile Websites where you may provide personal information about you and others you know; and where they may observe information about you in the same way.
(ii) Other Marketers
We may share your name, postal address, and summary purchase information with other merchants and merchant exchanges. Other merchants may, in turn, use this information to send you offers on their products and services. If you don't want this information shared with these merchants and exchanges, please contact us by emailing: contact@yummyandtrendy.com.
(iii) Law Enforcement and Emergency Response
We may disclose specific information about our Website visitors if we have a good-faith belief that it's necessary or authorized under the law to protect our customers, the public, or our business.
(iv) Sale or Merger
In the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business assets, consumer information may be one of the business assets that are transferred as part of the transaction.
What choices do you have over how your information is used?
(i) Email
If at any time you'd like to stop future delivery of our email offers, simply opt out follow the removal instructions located at the bottom of each message or email us at contact@yummyandtrendy.com. This will stop future email offers from us, but won't stop operational or transactional messages such as email confirmations of your online orders, or customer service communications. We may occasionally provide you with the opportunity to opt in to receive email messages from third parties. If you do opt in, we'll share your e-mail address with the specific third party with which you have opted in. Please review their privacy policies to see how they treat your personal information.
(ii) Mobile Messaging
If you've signed up for mobile messaging (i.e., SMS and MMS) offers and later decide you no longer wish to receive them, simply follow the opt-out instructions included in the mobile message.
(iii) Cookies, Clear Gifs, and Online Network Advertising
You may always choose to block cookies or even clear cookies from your computer. Simply follow your browser's instructions on how to block and clear cookies. Note that blocking cookies may not block the "first-party" cookies that are placed on your computer when you visit this site. By first-party cookies, we mean those cookies (whether placed by us or a contractor) that help us see how visitors use our site, and enable us to deliver our ads on our site (as opposed to ads on an online advertising network of third-party Web sites). Clearing cookies after each visit here will prevent observations from multiple sessions being aggregated over time. Please consider the consequences of blocking or clearing cookies. Many Websites rely on their cookies to provide you with services or features that you have requested or expect. If you do not want the use of cookies to associate survey responses with your behavior on the site, you can elect to not take the survey. If you want more information about online network advertising, in general, including access to some online network advertisers that allow you to designate your preferences, please contact us by emailing: contact@yummyandtrendy.com.
What is the policy for visitors from outside the U.S.?
This is a U.S. Web-commerce site. This privacy policy governs the information collected at this site irrespective of where you're located when you access it, browse it, interact with it, and make purchases through it (including those that are shipped to addresses outside the U.S.). This means your personal information may be stored outside of the province, state, and/or country in which you reside, and processed by us, an affiliate or a third-party service provider as described in this privacy policy. Moreover, governmental bodies that have jurisdiction (i.e., courts and law enforcement agencies) may be entitled to access your personal information.
How do I update my personal information?
We prefer to keep your personal information accurate and up-to-date. You may update or modify your billing, shipping, and any related information by logging onto your account.
How do we secure your information on our site?
This Website has the following types of security measures: limited access data-centers, firewall technology, and secure-socket-layer (SSL) certificate authentication. SSL is encryption technology that provides security for information that's transmitted over the Internet. While we implement the above security measures on this site, you should be aware that 100% security is not always possible.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Our website and our products and services are not directed to children under the age of 13. Should a child whom we know to be under the age of 13 send personal information to us, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child to inform him or her that we must have parental consent before receiving his or her personal information.
POLICY CHANGES
Changes in this policy will be posted on our website. You are advised to check our website regularly to view our most recent privacy policy.
