Our Privacy Commitment
An Appetizing Life is committed to protecting your personal information, and will always ask for your permission before collecting it. At any time, you may request that this information be removed from our files. You may also choose not to provide personal information.
How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information in only one way — to respond to your requests. For example, we will call or e-mail you after receiving your website enquiry. We do not send unsolicited e-mail.
Who Has Access to Your Information
We do not sell or provide any of your personal information to third parties, with the following exceptions:
- You have agreed to allow us to provide this information to a third party.
- We are required by law to share this information with a third party.
- We must share your information with a business partner to provide a service you have requested, in which case our business partner’s use of your information is restricted to the delivery of the requested service.
Understanding Website Security
We utilize state-of-the-art security measures to safeguard your personal information. All stored data on our website is protected by secure firewalls to prevent unauthorized access.
Secure areas of the website use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol with 128-bit encryption, which scrambles or encrypts all information sent by your computer. Secure areas also have a time-out feature to prevent unauthorized access.
To determine if you are on a secure website area, look for “https” (with an extra “s” added to “http”) at the beginning of the Web page address (URL) and the image of a lock or key in the upper right-hand corner.
To send personal information, use our secure Web form, or send documents by fax or another delivery method. Please remember that email is not a secure way to send personal information because it is not encrypted.
Affiliate Links
Some of the links within this blog are affiliate links, which means that if you click on a product link, I may receive compensation. This compensation comes at no additional cost to you, and as always I only recommend products I trust!
