General Information Collection and Use
The Menu Cache, LLC is the sole owner of the information
collected on the Website. We will not sell, share or
rent this information to others in ways different from
what is disclosed in this policy, without first obtaining
your consent. Generally, we request this information
when registering visitors to the Website, when visitors
to the Website and/or registered users request a particular
service, or when Website visitors elect to participate
in a special event or contest. This information collected
is used to register the user for the selected service
and to contact the user about such service (e.g. email address, telephone number,
fax number). Information required to be submitted to become a registered member
includes name, email address, date of birth, street address, and any information
pertaining the member’s payment method(s).
Some of our services may be offered in conjunction with partner companies, affiliates
or other companies or websites with which we work. In order for us to provide
these services to you, it may be necessary for us to share your personal information
with one of such entities. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable
information except for the purpose of providing these services. If you do not
want your data to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer by not
using that particular service.
Customer Service Correspondence
If you send us correspondence, including emails and faxes,
we may choose to retain such information in the records
of your account. We may also retain customer service
correspondence and other correspondence from the Company
to you. We retain these records in order to track and
improve our service to users and members, and to investigate
potential fraud and violations of our Terms of Use Agreement.
We may, over time, delete these records if permitted by law.
Cookies
A “cookie” is a piece of information stored on a user's
computer by a Web Browser at the request of software
at a website. Websites use cookies to recognize users
who have previously visited them. The next time the user accesses that site,
the information in the cookie is sent back to the user so the information displayed
can vary depending on the user’s preferences. As part of offering and providing
personalized services, we may use cookies in an effort to save you time while
on our Website by reminding us who you are. We may also use cookies to
track user navigation through the Website to provide us with statistical data
which is used to track the interests of our users to enhance their experience
on the Website.
IP Addresses
Every computer connected to the Internet is given an
IP address. We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer
the Website, track users' movement and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked
to personally identifiable information, and our web servers
do not record the email addresses of our visitors.
Sharing
As a general rule, except as described in the Company’s
Privacy Policy, we will not disclose any of your personally
identifiable information except when we have your permission
or under special circumstances. We may disclose or share
aggregated demographic information with certain partners, affiliates and advertisers,
however, except as described above, this is not linked to any personal information
that can identify any individual person or company. In addition, The Menu Cache,
LLC may disclose account or other personal information when we have reason to
believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or
bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference
with The Menu Cache, LLC’s rights or property, the Website, other Website users
or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
As with any other business, it is possible that The Menu Cache, LLC in the future
could merge with or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs,
the successor company would have access to the information maintained by the
Company, including customer account information, but would continue to be bound
by this Privacy Policy unless and until it is amended as described herein.
Links
This Website may contain links to other websites. Please
be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other websites, as this Privacy Policy
applies solely to the Website.
Surveys
From time-to-time our Website may request information
from users via survey. Participation in these surveys,
to the extent we run any, is completely voluntary and
the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose
this information. Information requested may include contact
information and demographic information (such as zip
code, age, or occupation). Survey information will be
used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use
and satisfaction of the Website.
Security
This Website takes numerous precautions to protect our
users' information. When users submit sensitive information
via the Website, such information is protected both on-
and offline. We encrypt certain sensitive information
using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to ensure that our members' information
is safe as it is sent over the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to
encrypt data that is transferred over the SSL connection. While
The Menu Cache, LLC employs commercially reasonable security measures to protect
our data and seeks to partner with companies which do the same, the Company cannot
absolutely guarantee the security of any data transmission over the Internet
or any wireless network. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet
or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and we therefore
are not responsible for any breach of security or for any actions of any third
parties that may receive any such information.
Notification of Changes
Should there be changes to our Privacy Policy,
we will post those changes under the appropriate link
on the "home page" of our Website so our
users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under
what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. The new terms shall be effective
immediately upon being posted on the Website. It is the responsibility of each
user to review the latest terms from time to time, and if any user does not agree
with any updates to the privacy policy, such user should immediately cease use
of the Website and any purchased services. |
