Welcome to our Site RecipesByMary. We understand that privacy is important to our users, especially when conducting business online. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your personal information when you visit our Site (referred to as “Visitors”) or register to use our services (referred to as “Authorized Customers”).
What is Personally Identifiable Information?
“Personally Identifiable Information” (PII) refers to any information that can be used to identify or contact an individual. This includes, but is not limited to, name, address, phone number, email address, financial details, social security number, and credit card information. It does not include information that is collected anonymously or demographic data that is not linked to a specific individual.
What Personally Identifiable Information Do We Collect?
We collect basic user profile information from all Visitors, and additional details from Authorized Customers. This may include names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, business size, and the type of advertising inventory the Authorized Customer intends to buy or sell.
Who Else Collects Information?
In addition to our direct collection, third-party service providers (such as credit card companies, banks, and insurance agencies) may also collect personal information from Visitors and Authorized Customers. We do not control how these third parties use your information, but we request they disclose how they handle it. Some third parties may act only as intermediaries and will not store or use the data they collect.
How Do We Use Personally Identifiable Information?
We use PII to personalize the Site, offer relevant services, and fulfill requests for buying and selling. We may also contact Visitors and Authorized Customers about research opportunities, purchasing and selling opportunities, or to respond to specific inquiries.
Who Do We Share Your Information With?
We may share Authorized Customers’ PII with other customers who are interested in potential transactions. We may also share aggregated information about our Visitors and Authorized Customers with affiliated agencies and third-party vendors. Visitors and Authorized Customers can opt-out of receiving communications from us or third parties by following the instructions in emails or by contacting us directly.
How Is Personally Identifiable Information Stored?
PII is securely stored and is only accessible to authorized employees who need it to provide the requested services.
What Choices Do You Have Regarding Your Information?
Visitors and Authorized Customers can opt-out of unsolicited emails or contact by responding to communication as instructed or contacting us directly.
Are Cookies Used on the Site?
Yes, we use cookies to track user preferences and for security purposes. For example, if an Authorized Customer is logged in but inactive for more than 10 minutes, we will automatically log them out.
How Is Login Information Used?
We use login information, such as IP addresses, ISPs, and browser types, to analyze trends, manage the Site, track user behavior, and collect demographic information.
Who Has Access to Personally Identifiable Information?
We partner with third-party vendors who may access PII on a need-to-know basis for evaluating service eligibility. Our privacy policy does not cover how these vendors collect or use this information.
Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information for Legal Compliance
We may disclose PII to comply with legal obligations, such as court orders or law enforcement requests. We may also disclose information to protect the safety of our users.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
We take the security of your PII seriously. Only authorized employees with a password can access your data. We regularly audit our security systems. Sensitive data, like credit card numbers, is encrypted. While we use commercially reasonable measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee complete security.
How Can You Correct Inaccuracies in Your Information?
If you need to update or correct any inaccuracies in your PII, please contact us via email.
Can You Delete or Deactivate Your Information?
Yes, you can request to delete or deactivate your PII from our database by contacting us. However, due to backup and archival systems, it may not be possible to completely remove all residual information. Once deactivated, we will stop using your PII, and it will no longer be sold or transferred.
What Happens if the Privacy Policy Changes?
We will notify you of any changes to this policy by posting updates on the Site. If a change would disclose PII you previously requested to keep private, we will contact you directly to give you the opportunity to prevent such disclosure.
