We know that you care about how information about you is shared and used. We want you to know that your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Policy describes the practices used by WhatsInThisStuff in collecting and using personal information.
Information We Collect
WhatsInThisStuff collects user submitted account information such as name and email address to identify you and send you notifications related to the use of the service. WhatsInThisStuff also collects user submitted information associated with account preferences, such as items added to the user's Profile, for the purpose of personalizing the user experience. WhatsInThisStuff also collects user information associated with user-contributed content, such as product and ingredient information, photos, votes, and comments, so that we can verify the accuracy of the content with the contributing user.
Some information collected is not explicitly submitted by the user; we log your browser-type related information, IP address, requested URL, referring URL, and timestamp.
How We Use Your Information
User-contributed content is an important part of WhatsInThisStuff. Therefore, information such as your name, and any personally identifiable information you have included in your contributed content, may be displayed to other users of the WhatsInThisStuff Site or Services.
We may use your email address to notify you of updated information on products, send you updates or news regarding our site, or to verify information related to your contributed content.
Browser-type related information, IP address, requested URL, referring URL, and timestamp data help us administer and diagnose problems with our server and service. In addition, we use this information to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site.
Aggregated, non-personal information may be shared with third parties, such as the number of users that have been exposed to, or clicked on, a particular advertisement. No personally-identifiable information will be disclosed through this sharing.
Transfer of Information
WhatsInThisStuff does not sell, rent, share, trade or give away any of your personal information. WhatsInThisStuff will disclose information about individual users to governmental or judicial authorities or law enforcement agencies, or to other individuals or entities in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes.
If the ownership of WhatsInThisStuff were to change, your personal information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your personal information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.
WhatsInThisStuff will notify you when information about you may be provided to third parties in ways other than explained above, and you will have the option to prevent such information sharing.
Links
Our website may contain links to third party websites to which we have no affiliation. WhatsInThisStuff does not share your personal information with those websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We suggest you read the privacy polices on these third party websites.
Use of Cookies
Like most websites, WhatsInThisStuff requires cookies to function properly. Cookies are small text files that reside on a user's computer and identify you as a unique user. We use cookies to refine our site and simplify the user experience. For example, the use of cookies allows registered users to enter our site without explicitly typing in their email address and password every time. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, you should note that cookies may be necessary to provide you certain features available on the WhatsInThisStuff site.
Controlling Your Personal Information
As a registered WhatsInThisStuff user, you can modify your personal information at any time by accessing the "Profile" section of the site. Registered users who wish to close their account should contact admin@whatsinthisstuff.com.
Security
Your WhatsInThisStuff account is password-protected. WhatsInThisStuff tries very hard to protect our users' information. We use industry standard measures to protect your information that is stored within our database. We limit the access to your information to those employees who need access to perform their job function such as our customer service personnel. If you have any questions about the security at our website, please contact us. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
You hereby acknowledge that WhatsInThisStuff is not responsible for any intercepted information sent via the Internet, and you hereby release us from any and all claims arising out of or related to the use of intercepted information in any unauthorized manner.
Children
This website is not directed to children, and WhatsInThisStuff does not knowingly solicit information from any child under the age of 13. Should a child whom we know to be under 13 send personal information to us, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child (or a parent or guardian) to inform him or her that we must have parental consent before receiving his or her personal information.
Terms and Modifications to this Privacy Statement
By using the website, you signify your agreement to the terms of our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use the site. WhatsInThisStuff may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. If a material change is made to this Privacy Policy and/or the way we use our users' personally identifiable information, then we will post a prominent notice of the nature of such change on the first page of this Privacy Policy and also on our home page. You are responsible for reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically to ensure that you are aware of any changes to it. Your continued use of the site indicates your assent to any changes to this Privacy Policy.
