How Information is Secured

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. We keep your information until you contact us to delete it and your account.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as recipe information), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g, billing or customer service) are granted access to any information that is personally identifiable. The computers/servers on which we store such personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Even though we take precautions to keep your information safe, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not be able to breach our security and gain access to your information. As such, use of our services is at your own risk and we disclaim any and all liability for security breaches.

In the event of a security matter involving your information, we will communicate it to you. Any communications or notifications from us, including notifications with respect to any actual or suspected data breach, will be sent to you by email as soon as reasonably practicable, taking into consideration the needs of law enforcement and other investigators, as well as applicable laws and regulations regarding proper data breach notification procedures. We will also post a notification informing you of any suspected data breach on [http://foodlab.local/privacy-policy/]. Please note that we will send the email notification to the email address we have on record for you, so be sure you keep this information current. If you wish to receive notification some other way, please let us know by contacting us at the email address provided below.
