Privacy Policy: Your Digital Experience Unveiled

Our Privacy Policy is your guide to understanding how we collect, use, and share your personal information when you engage with our Website.

When you explore our Website, we automatically gather specific details about your device, such as your web browser, IP address, time zone, and cookies stored on your device. As you navigate our pages, we also capture data about the web pages or products you view, the websites or search terms that brought you here, and your interactions with our site. We call this treasure trove of data “Device Information.”

We employ various technologies to collect Device Information:

– **Cookies:** These are like digital breadcrumbs left on your computer, often containing an anonymous unique identifier.
– **Log Files:** Think of these as the diary of our Website, recording activities like your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
– **Web Beacons, Tags, and Pixels:** These are like secret agents, silently observing and reporting on your interactions with our Website.

Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to do so, we collect specific information from you: your name, billing and shipping addresses, payment details (such as credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We call this bundle of details “Order Information.”

In this Privacy Policy, when we mention “Personal Information,” we mean both Device Information and Order Information.

**How We Harness Your Personal Information**

We use the Order Information primarily to fulfill orders made through our Website. This involves processing your payment information, arranging shipping, and providing invoices and order confirmations. But that’s not all. We also use Order Information to:

– **Communicate with You.**
– **Screen Orders for Risks.**
– **Serve Up Information and Ads:** We share info and ads related to our products or services that align with your preferences.

Device Information comes in handy for identifying potential risks and fraudulent activities, especially by analyzing your IP address. We also use this data to make our Website better and sharper. That means generating analytics on how our visitors interact with our site and measuring the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns. We’ve got Google Analytics on board to help us understand how visitors use our Website.

**Behavioral Advertising**

As mentioned earlier, we use your Personal Information to send you targeted ads and marketing communications that we believe would tickle your fancy.

**Opting Out**

You have the power to tweak how Google advertises to you by visiting the Google Ad Settings page. Alternatively, you can opt out via the Network Advertising Initiative Opt Out page or use the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser add-on.

**Do Not Track**

We want to be transparent here. We don’t alter our data collection and usage practices on our Website in response to Do Not Track signals from your browser.

**Information Fortification**

Rest assured, we’ve locked away your personal information behind secured networks, accessible only by a select few with special access rights who are sworn to confidentiality. Additionally, sensitive/credit information you provide is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

When a user places an order, submits, or accesses their information, we implement an array of security measures to ensure your personal information stays safe. All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.

**Data Retention**

When you make a purchase through our Website, we retain your Order Information for our records unless you request its deletion.

**Cookies**

Cookies are like your digital travel companions. They help us recognize your browser, remember items in your shopping cart, and understand your preferences based on your site activity. Cookies also allow us to gather aggregate data on site traffic and interactions to enhance your future site experiences. We may also call upon trusted third-party services to track this information on our behalf.

You have the power to decide whether you want to be notified each time a cookie is sent to your computer or if you’d like to disable all cookies. The process to modify your cookie settings may vary depending on your web browser, so check your browser’s Help Menu for guidance. Please note that disabling cookies may result in some features of our Website not functioning properly.

**Privacy Policy Changes**

Change is the only constant, right? We may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Stay in the know by checking back from time to time.

Your privacy matters to us at mbchef.ca, and we’re here to make your digital journey as enjoyable and secure as possible.
