We do not sell or rent personal information for money. Certain analytics or advertising activities may be treated as a "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising under some state privacy laws even when no money changes hands. Where required, you may manage nonessential cookies through the Site's cookie controls or contact us using the information below.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Site uses essential cookies that support functions such as security, account access, shopping carts, checkout, and saved preferences. With your consent where required, the Site may also use analytics, functional, or advertising cookies to understand traffic, improve performance, and measure marketing.
You may manage cookies through the cookie banner or privacy controls displayed on the Site, when available, and through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may cause account, cart, ordering, or checkout features to work incorrectly.
Your interactions with third-party platforms, including social-media services, are also governed by those companies' privacy policies.
5. Email and Text Communications
If you subscribe to promotional emails, you may unsubscribe using the link included in those messages. Even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send non-promotional communications concerning an order, delivery, account, payment, catering inquiry, or other transaction.
If we offer promotional text messages, we will request any consent required by law. You may opt out of promotional texts by following the instructions in the message. Message and data rates may apply.
6. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have the right to request that we:
-
confirm whether we process your personal information;
-
provide access to or a copy of certain personal information;
-
correct inaccurate personal information;
-
delete certain personal information;
-
provide certain information in a portable format; or
-
honor an applicable opt-out request concerning targeted advertising, sale, or sharing.
You may also update certain account information by logging in to your account. To submit a privacy request, email roottofruit0@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. You may use an authorized agent where permitted by law, but we may require proof of the agent's authority.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right. We may deny or limit a request when permitted or required by law, including when information must be retained for transaction, tax, fraud-prevention, safety, or legal purposes.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including fulfilling orders, maintaining customer accounts and business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, preventing fraud, and satisfying tax, accounting, insurance, and legal obligations.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the nature of our relationship with you, and applicable requirements. When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete it, anonymize it, or securely retain it until deletion is practical.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect personal information. We also rely on established service providers to host the Site, process payments, and support business operations.
No security measure, website, storage system, or method of transmitting information is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use a strong, unique password for your account and notify us if you believe your account or personal information has been compromised.
9. Children's Privacy
The Services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
Purchases and contracts for meal delivery or catering must be made by an adult or by someone otherwise legally authorized to enter into the transaction.
10. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services. We do not control and are not responsible for their privacy, security, or content. Review the privacy policy of any third-party service before providing information to it.
