MealNextDoor Privacy Policy

MealNextDoor Privacy Policy MealNextDoor provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of www.MealNextDoor.com (this "Site"). This Privacy Policy applies only to information that you provide to us through this Site. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Site. You are advised to consult this policy regularly for any changes. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service (http://MealNextDoor.com/tos). Pursuant to MealNextDoor's Terms of Use, you must be at least 18 years of age to use this site or have permission from a legal guardian. This policy makes no provision for individuals under 18 years old. This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that MealNextDoor does not own or control, or individuals that MealNextDoor does not employ or manage. As used in this policy, the terms "using" and "processing" information include using cookies on a computer, subjecting the information to statistical or other analysis and using or handling information in any way, including, but not limited to collecting, storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, using, combining, disclosing and transferring information within our organization or among our affiliates within the United States or internationally. Information Collection and Use Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Site, services, features and content, to administer your Membership (together, the "Service") and to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate the Site. Personally Identifiable Information When you register with us through the Site and become a MealNextDoor Member, when you choose to post or purchase a listing, or when you wish to contact a MealNextDoor Member, we will ask you for personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you ("Identity Information"). Identity Information includes, but is not limited to, your name, phone number, email address and home postal address. We use your Identity Information mainly to provide the Service and administer your inquiries. We also collect the other information that you provide as part of registration and the administration and personalization of your profile webpage (e.g., without limitation, zip code (on its own) and individual preferences or demographic information) ("Non-Identifying Information"). We use your Identity Information (in some cases, in conjunction with your Non-Identifying Information) mainly to provide the Service and administer your inquiries. Certain Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of your Identity Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. But the same pieces of information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-identifying information (for example, your demographic information). We may combine your Identity Information with Non-Identifying Information and aggregate it with information collected from other MealNextDoor Users (defined below) to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the Service and to analyze and understand how our Site and Service are used. We may also use the combined information without aggregating it to serve you specifically, for instance to deliver a product to you according to your preferences or restrictions. We also use your Personal Information to contact you with MealNextDoor newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications or update your "user preferences" information. (See "Changing or Deleting Information," below.) Please note that we may also use your Personal Information to contact you with information related to your use of the Service; you may not opt out of these notifications. Log Data When you visit the Site, whether as an MealNextDoor Member or a non-registered user just browsing (any of these, an "MealNextDoor User"), our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to our Site, pages of our Site that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on our Site, access times and dates, and other statistics. We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Site and the Service and for the Site's technical administration, to increase our Site's functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor it to our visitors' needs. We also use this information to verify that visitors to the Site meet the criteria required to process their requests. We do not treat Log Data as Identity Information or use it in association with other Identity Information, though we may aggregate, analyze and evaluate such information for the same purposes as stated above regarding other Non-Identifying Information. Cookies Like many websites, we use "cookies" to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies for two purposes. First, we utilize persistent cookies to save your registration ID and login password for future logins to the Site. Second, we utilize session ID cookies to enable certain features of the Site, to better understand how you interact with the Site and to monitor aggregate usage by MealNextDoor Users and web traffic routing on the Site. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from the Site and Service and then close your browser. Third party advertisers on the Site may also place or read cookies on your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Site or all functionality of the Service. Phishing Identity theft and the practice currently known as "phishing" are of great concern to MealNextDoor. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, your account ID, login password, or national identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. For more information about phishing, visit the Federal Trade Commission's website at http://www.ftc.gov. Information Sharing and Disclosure Overview MealNextDoor is designed to allow Members who sell ("Sellers") and Members who buy ("Buyers") to share information with one another in order to facilitate orders. Listings posted by Sellers, ratings and reviews of Sellers and Buyers, and the Profile Information (as defined below) of Sellers and Buyers, are visible to any visitor to the site. If a Seller and a Buyer enter into a confirmed transaction with one another (the Seller accepts the BuyerÕs order), then the Seller and the Buyer's Identity Information are shared with each other in order to facilitate the reservation. MealNextDoor Members and Users When you register through the Site and submit your ldentity Information to create a profile page, MealNextDoor Users will see your first name and last name("Required Member Identifiers"). You can choose what other Identity Information you provide as part of your profile ("Other Member Information") (together, your "Profile Information"). We will display your Profile Information in your profile page and elsewhere on the Site, and, with your prior permission, on third party sites. Any information you choose to provide as part of your profile should reflect how much you want other MealNextDoor Users to know about you. We recommend that you guard your anonymity and sensitive information and we encourage members to think carefully about what information about themselves they disclose in their profile pages. You can review and revise your profile information at any time. If you post a listing, we may publish that listing anywhere on the Site and may enable third parties to publish your listing on their site through the use of an HTML "widget". We may also display the geographical location of your listing in the form of a map so that potential guests can see the general area and neighborhood of your listing, but your actual street address will not be disclosed until you enter into a confirmed transaction with another MealNextDoor Member. If you enter into a confirmed transaction with another MealNextDoor Member (that is, you place an order from another Member, the other Member confirms your order, you will have access to that Member's Identity Information, and that Member will have access to your Identity Information. If you are a Seller your geographical information with street address will also be disclosed if the order is for pickup, but if you are a buyer your geographical information with street address will be disclosed if the order is for delivery. As part of the buying and selling process, you may obtain another MealNextDoor user's email address, physical address and/or other information. Pursuant to MealNextDoor Terms of Use, you have a limited license to use this information. This information should only be used for MealNextDoor-related communications or for MealNextDoor-facilitated transactions. MealNextDoor has not granted you a license to use the information for unsolicited commercial messages. Without limiting the foregoing, without express consent from the user, you are not licensed to add any MealNextDoor user to your email or physical mail list. Aggregate Information and Non-Identifying Information We may share aggregated information that does not include Identity Information and we may otherwise disclose Non-Identifying Information and Log Data with third parties for industry analysis, demographic profiling and other purposes. Any aggregated information shared in these contexts will not contain your Identity Information. Third Parties We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Site-related services (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, web analytics and improvement of the Site's features) or to assist us in analyzing how our Site and Service are used. These third parties may have access to your Identity Information; if they do, this access is only so that they may perform these tasks on our behalf and they are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. We may also provide Identity Information to our business partners or other trusted entities for the purpose of providing you with information on goods or services we believe will be of interest to you. You can, at any time, opt out of receiving such communications. Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement MealNextDoor cooperates with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect the property and rights of MealNextDoor or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, any illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity.

We employ administrative, physical and electronic measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. . You need to work to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by signing off once you have finished using a shared computer.

We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored "personal data" (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting on this Site in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.
