Privacy Policy
Updated 09.03.2024
This website is owned and operated by FOOD IQ, LLC. Your privacy online is extremely important to us, and we are committed to making your experience both satisfying and secure. Since we collect certain types of information from our users, we believe it’s essential that you fully understand the terms and conditions regarding the collection and use of that information. This privacy statement explains what information we gather and how we utilize it.
GDPR (EU)
For users in the European Union, we adhere to the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"). For users in the United Kingdom, we adhere to the GDPR as enshrined in the Data Protection Act 2018.
We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer as we do not fall within the categories of controllers and processors required to appoint a Data Protection Officer under Article 37 of the GDPR.
Consent
By using our Site users agree that they consent to the conditions set out in this Privacy Policy.
When the legal basis for us processing your personal data is that you have provided your consent to that processing by a) purchasing services, b) purchasing products or c) signing up to email correspondence.
How We Use Personal Data
Data collected on our Site will only be used for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy or indicated on the relevant pages of our Site. We will not use your data beyond what we disclose in this Privacy Policy.
Who We Share Personal Data With
We may disclose user data to any member of our organization who reasonably needs access to user data to deliver services or purchased by the user. Because we use hosting services such as Wix, user data may become automatically available to our current domain host: wix.com. Learn more about Wix's privacy policy here.
We will not sell or share your data with other third parties, except in the following cases:
-
If the law requires it.
-
If it is required for any legal proceeding.
-
To prove or protect our legal rights.
-
To buyers or potential buyers of this company if we seek to sell the company.
If you follow hyperlinks from our Site to another Site, please note that we are not responsible for and have no control over their privacy policies and practices.
How Long We Store Personal Data
User data will be stored until the purpose the data was collected for has been achieved.
You will be notified if your data is kept for longer than this period.
How We Protect Your Personal Data
All data is only accessible to our employees. Our employees are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and a breach of this agreement would result in the employee's termination.
FOOD IQ utilizes a hosting platform that has firm security measures designed to protect the personal information you share with us, including physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards.
Wix provides HTTPS secure access to most areas of our services, and any sensitive payment information, such as credit card numbers, transmitted through our designated purchase forms is protected by industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption. Wix also maintains PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) certification and regularly monitors our systems for potential vulnerabilities and attacks. Additionally, Wix continually seeks new methods and third-party services to further enhance the security of FOOD IQ. services and the protection of our visitors' and users' privacy.
While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that user data is secure and that users are protected, there always remains the risk of harm. The Internet as a whole can be unsafe at times and therefore, we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.
