Privacy Policy

At Recipinned (www.recipinned.com), we recognize the importance of your privacy. We understand that you may be concerned with the information you provide to us or that is collected by us and how we use and disclose it.

This Privacy Policy explains Recipinned’s privacy practices for visitors to our website at Recipinned (the “Website”). By using our Website, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to the terms of the Recipinned Terms and Conditions. We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make any material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will post a new policy on the Website and update the “last revised” date on the bottom of this page. Therefore, we encourage you to check our Privacy Policy whenever you visit the Website to see if it has been updated since your last visit. If you have any questions about our Privacy Policy, you can contact us at [email protected].

Types of Information We Collect

Personal Information: Personal information is data that specifically identifies an individual, such as a customer’s name, email address or account numbers, and information about that individual’s activities when directly linked to that person, such as information about their purchases.

Aggregate Information: Personal information does not include “aggregate” information. Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or category of products, services, or customers, from which individual customer identities have been removed. In other words, information about how you use a service might be collected and combined with information about how others use the same service, but no personal information will be included in the resulting data. Likewise, information about the products you purchase might be collected and combined with information about the products purchased by others. Aggregate data helps us understand trends and customer needs so that we can better consider new products and services, and tailor existing products and services to customer desires.

How We Collect and Use Personal Information

Recipinned collects personal information from you at several different points on our Website, as set forth below. In general, we use personal information for the purpose for which it was collected, such as to provide services or complete transactions you have requested, and to anticipate and resolve problems with our Website and our products and services. We also use personal information for our own internal business operations, to respond to customer support inquiries, and for other purposes as described below.

Communication

As a Recipinned member, you will receive our transactional business communications (e.g., email address confirmation, administrative messages, etc.) at your email address. Additionally, you might be automatically enrolled in one or more of our email subscription programs. While we reserve the right to send you our transactional business communications without offering you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving them, we do provide you with the opportunity to select whether or not you wish to continue to receive our subscription-based emails. You will also be given the opportunity to select whether to receive promotional offerings, such as renewal notifications and new product offerings.

Email and Newsletters

When you submit your email address to us to initiate a subscription to one of our newsletters, we ask for personal information such as your name and email address. This personal information is only used to send you the newsletter(s) you have requested. You might opt out of such follow-up contacts by following the instructions in the newsletter.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Recipinned will not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties without your prior consent except in the limited circumstances described in this Privacy Policy.

Consent: With your consent, we may disclose your personal information to third parties to provide you with products and services you have requested.

Recipinned’s Own Business Purposes: We use and disclose information about you for our internal statistical, design, or operational purposes, such as estimating our audience size, measuring aggregate traffic patterns, and understanding demographic, user interest, purchasing, and other trends among our users. We may outsource these tasks and disclose personal information about you to third parties, provided the use and disclosure of your personal information by these third parties is restricted to the performance of such tasks. We may also share personal information with third-party vendors who assist us in performing internal functions necessary to operate our business. We require our third-party vendors to keep such information confidential and use the information only for the purpose it was provided.

Protection of Recipinned and Others: We disclose personal information when we believe it is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena, warrant, or court order); to enforce or apply this privacy policy or our other policies or agreements; to initiate, render, bill, and collect amounts owed to us; to protect our or our users’ rights, property, or safety; or to protect our users from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of our Website; or if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications or justifies disclosure of personal information without delay.

Business Transfers: Information about our users, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of company assets, or in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which personally identifiable information could be transferred to third parties as one of the business assets of the company.

Recipinned does not intend, nor is the Website designed, to collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are under 13 years old, you should not register for our services or provide information on our Website. Instead, please ask a parent to do so on your behalf.

Occasionally, our Website may contain links to other websites. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the collection, use, or disclosure of your information by any third-party websites. We recommend that you carefully review the privacy policy of any third-party website you link to from our Website. The privacy policies of such websites may differ from ours; therefore, we encourage you to understand their policies before providing any personal information.

International Users

We collect, process, and maintain your information in the United States, where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your home country. By using our Website from outside the United States and providing your information to us, you consent to the transfer, processing, and maintenance of your information in the United States in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Correcting/Updating Personal Information

We provide you the option to opt-out of receiving commercial emails from us by following the opt-out instructions included in those messages. However, even if you opt-out, you will still receive account-related communications from us.

California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 allows California residents to request information about how their personal information is shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your consent. If you previously gave consent and wish to revoke it, please send a request to [email protected] with “California Opt-Out” in the subject line. Note that this opt-out does not affect information already shared with third parties; you must contact them directly to opt-out from their communications. For more information about your privacy rights under California law, contact us at [email protected] with “California Disclosure Information” in the subject line.
