What are cookies and how do we use them?

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website, when visited by a user, asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first party cookies.

We may also use third party cookies, which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting. This is for our advertising and marketing efforts, as well as to understand your browsing of the Website, for example, which page you visit or how long you stay on each page.

Google Analytics:

We also may utilize Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, to better understand your use of the website and services. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the website, what pages they visit and what other sites they used prior to visiting. Google uses the data collected to track and examine the use of the websites, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. Google may use the data collected on the websites to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the website is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

How do we share information with third parties?

We do not rent or sell your Personal Information to anyone.

We may share and disclose information (including Personal Information) about our customers in the following limited circumstances:

Vendors, consultants, and other service providers:

We may share your information with third party vendors, consultants and other service providers who we employ to perform tasks on our behalf. These companies include, for example, our payment processing providers, website analytics companies (e.g., Google Analytics), product feedback or help desk software providers (e.g. ZenDesk), email service providers (e.g., Salesforce), and others.

Business transfers:

We may choose to buy or sell assets, and we may share and/or transfer customer information in connection with the evaluation of and entry into such transactions. Also, if we or our assets are acquired, go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.

Disclosures for National Security or Law Enforcement:

Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your Personal Information in response to valid requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as necessary to comply with law or court order; enforce or apply our agreements with you and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Melting Pot Social, our employees, our users, or others.

Is your personal information secure?

We use appropriate technical, organizational and administrative security measures to protect any information we hold in our records from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. You can confirm this by noting the small yellow lock which appears on the bottom of your browser window during the checkout process.

We transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company only during order processing. All reporting and order confirmations utilize number masking in accordance with payment card industry data security standards.

Credit card information is stored in our database using triple-DES encryption algorithms, to guarantee that, even if someone were able to gain access to the data, nothing useful could be extracted.

Unfortunately, no company or service can guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of information at any time. You must prevent unauthorized access to your accounts and Personal Information by selecting and protecting any passwords appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. Melting Pot Social cannot ensure or warrant the security of your personal information.
