This document sets forth the Gourmet Fare, Inc. Privacy Policy
for this Web site, www.gourmetfare.com. If you have objections
to the
Privacy
Policy,
you should not access or use this site. This Privacy Policy does not
govern privacy practices associated with offline activities or other
DRS Publishing Group, Inc. Web sites. Gourmet Fare, Inc. is committed
to respecting your privacy and the personally identifiable information
you share with
us. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you how we use such
information. This policy applies only to users accessing our Web sites
from the United States. Our customers will always be presented with an
option to opt-out or UNSUBSCRIBE from further communications from Gourmet
Fare, Inc. We honor our commitment to our customers and visitors, not
to share their information with or send it to any third parties
other than as described in this Privacy Policy.
All "personal information" ("personal information" is
defined as any information that identifies or can be used to identify,
contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains) that
we collect and maintain will be subject to the current version of the
Privacy Policy in effect. Gourmet
Fare, Inc. reserves the right to change the
Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion, and will provide
date of material changes on the Gourmet
Fare, Inc. Privacy Policy page. The
new policy will apply to all current and past users of our Web sites and
will
replace
any prior policies that are inconsistent. If as the result of such changes,
you want to alter the ways in which Gourmet
Fare, Inc. is allowed to use your
personal information, you can do so by submitting your request in writing
as outlined below. You will be deemed to have been made aware of, and
will be subject to, the changes to the Privacy Policy by your continued
use of the site after such notice has been posted for thirty (30) days
with the following exception: If at the time you provide personal information
to Gourmet
Fare, Inc. you are given the opportunity
to limit how such information will be used to communicate with you, either
by Gourmet
Fare, Inc. or by DRS Publishing Group, Inc., Gourmet
Fare, Inc. will not change
your preference in this regard without your express written or E-Mail
consent. However, if Gourmet
Fare, Inc. sells assets (or the assets of a division
or subsidiary)
to another entity, or Gourmet
Fare, Inc. (or a division or subsidiary) is acquired
by, or merged with, another entity, Gourmet
Fare, Inc. may provide to such
entity customer information that is related to that part of our business
that was sold to or merged with the other entity without your consent.
As a visitor to this site, you can engage in many activities without
providing any personal information. In connection with other activities,
such as when you purchase or order a product, subscribe to a club
or newsletter, register to receive catalogs, or to participate in contests,
sweepstakes or promotions, etc., Gourmet
Fare, Inc. may ask you to provide
certain information
about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely
optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage
in these activities, however, Gourmet
Fare, Inc. may ask that you provide us
personal information, such as your first and last names, shipping and
billing addresses (including ZIP code), E-Mail address, telephone and
fax numbers, and other personal information. When ordering products or
services on the site, you may be asked to provide a credit card number.
Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you
to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do
not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity,
you may be unable to purchase products, or access certain services, offers
and content on our site.
Additionally, we may track the Internet domain address from which people
visit us and analyze user-agent and referrer data for trends and statistics,
but individual users will remain anonymous, unless you voluntarily tell
us who you are. We also maintain a record of your online product purchases.
We use the personally identifiable information you provide for internal
purposes, such as confirming and tracking your order, subscription or
registration, analyzing trends and statistics, informing you of our new
products, services and offers, and providing you with information from
and about Gourmet
Fare, Inc. To serve you better, we may combine information
you give us online at Gourmet Fare Magazine, through purchases in our
Gourmet Fare Shoppe or through our Gourmet Fare catalogs. We use that
combined information to enhance and personalize your Internet and shopping
experience with us, to communicate with you about our products and events
that may be of interest to you, and for other promotional purposes. We
may contract with companies or persons (e.g., PayPal, FedEx, UPS, USPS,
Aaron Weiler Productions) to provide certain services including credit
card processing, shipping, data management,
promotional services, etc. We call them our Service Providers. We provide
our Service Providers with the information needed for them to perform
these services and transactions. We also make sure our Service Providers'
privacy policies are consistent with ours. Although unlikely, in certain
instances we may disclose your personally identifiable information when
we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify, contact or
bring legal action against persons or entities who may be causing injury
to you, to DRS Publishing Group, Inc., to Gourmet Fare, Inc. or to others.
We may also disclose your personally identifiable information when we
believe
the law requires it.
We use encryption and authentication tools to protect the security of
your personal information that you share with us. Unfortunately, however,
no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we
cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit
to or from our Web sites, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive
your transmission, we will do our best to protect its security on our
systems. We urge you to keep your PayPal username and password in a safe
place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to log off your
account
and
close
your browser window when you have finished your visit. This is to ensure
that others cannot access your account, especially if you are sharing
a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place
such as a library or Internet café.
Our site may contain links to Web sites operated and maintained by third
parties, over which we have no control. Privacy policies on such linked
sites may be different from our Privacy Policy. You access such linked
sites at your own risk. You should always read the privacy policy of
a linked site before disclosing any personal information on such site.
If you have any
questions, comments or concerns regarding our Privacy Policy, or if
you wish to alter the ways in which Gourmet
Fare, Inc. is allowed
to use your personal information, please contact Customer Service Monday
