Privacy policy

Ethical Eats is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Privacy Statement applies to the Ethical Eats website and governs data collection and usage. By using the Ethical Eats website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

Ethical Eats collects personally identifiable information, such as your email address, name, home or work address or telephone number. Ethical Eats also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your postcode, age, gender, preferences, interests and favourites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by Ethical Eats. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used by Ethical Eats for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Ethical Eats website.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Ethical Eats public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Ethical Eats does not read any of your private online communications.

Ethical Eats encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from Ethical Eats so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. Ethical Eats is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the Ethical Eats family of websites.

Use of your Personal Information

Ethical Eats collects and uses your personal information to operate the Ethical Eats website and deliver the services you have requested. Ethical Eats also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Ethical Eats and its affiliates. Ethical Eats may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Ethical Eats does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Ethical Eats may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (email, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Ethical Eats may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Ethical Eats, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Ethical Eats does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

Ethical Eats keeps track of the websites and pages our customers visit within Ethical Eats, in order to determine what Ethical Eats services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customised content and advertising within Ethical Eats to customers whose behaviour indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Ethical Eats websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Ethical Eats or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Ethical Eats; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Ethical Eats, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The Ethical Eats website uses “cookies” to enhance your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer by a website you visit. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the main purposes of cookies is to provide a more convenient and personalized experience for you. For instance, if you personalize Ethical Eats pages, or sign up for Ethical Eats services, a cookie helps Ethical Eats remember your specific information on subsequent visits. This saves you time and simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing and shipping addresses. When you return to the Ethical Eats website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, allowing you to easily use the features of the website that you customized.

You have the option to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. However, please note that declining cookies may limit your ability to use the interactive features of the Ethical Eats website. 

Security of your Personal Information

Ethical Eats takes the security of your personal information seriously and protects it from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. We store the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a secure, controlled environment that is protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information, such as credit card numbers, is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

Ethical Eats may update this Privacy Statement from time to time to reflect company and customer feedback. We encourage you to review this Statement periodically to stay informed about how Ethical Eats is protecting your information.
