Privacy Policy

Welcome to www.loveandhomemaderecipes.com, a web site owned and operated by Reiman Media Group, LLC (“Reiman Media”).

We have created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy.  The following discloses our information gathering, use and dissemination practices solely for the web site located at www. loveandhomemaderecipes.com (the “Web Site”) and not to any other service or web site. By using or accessing the Web Site, you acknowledge and agree with the terms below.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY & LEGAL TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THE WEB SITE.

PRIVACY POLICY

Personal and Non-Personal Information: When using the Web Site, you may choose to provide us with certain personally identifiable information about yourself (“Personal Information”).  Personal Information can include your name and email address.  We do not collect Personal Information from you on the Web Site unless you have voluntarily chosen to provide such information about yourself.

In addition, we may also collect non-personally identifiable information, such as IP host address, pages viewed, browser type and other data, and may aggregate any information collected in a manner which does not identify any individual (“Aggregate Information”). 

Information Usage: We will only use your Personal Information as described below, unless you have specifically consented to another type of use, either at the time the Personal Information is collected from you or through some other form of consent from you or notification to you:

 

  • We may use your Personal Information to respond to your direct inquires.
  • We may use your Personal Information to add you to our mailing lists and to send you emails from time to time.
  • We may share your Personal Information with other companies in the same corporate family as Reiman Media, provided that such companies observe similar privacy practices.
  • We may permit our vendors and subcontractors to access your Personal Information, but they are only permitted to do so in connection with performing services for us.  They are not authorized by us to use the information for their own benefit.
  • We may disclose Personal Information as required by law or legal process.
  • We may disclose Personal Information to investigate suspected fraud, harassment or other violations of any law, rule or regulation, or the policies for the Web Site.
  • We may transfer your Personal Information in connection with the sale, merger or change of control of Reiman Media or the division responsible for the services with which your Personal Information is associated.

 

We may use Aggregate Information to improve and enhance your experience on the Web Site and for our research activities.  For example, we may share Aggregate Information with unaffiliated third parties, such as business partners, in an aggregate, anonymous form, which means that the shared information will not contain nor be linked to any Personal Information.

 

Blogs and Social Media: You should be aware that Personal Information which you voluntarily include and transmit online in a posting, such as the blogs on this Web Site, may be viewed and used by others.  Reiman Media is unable to control such uses of your Personal Information once you choose to make it publicly accessible, and by using the Web Site you assume the risk that the Personal Information provided by you in publicly accessible forums may be viewed and used by third parties.

Cookies: “Cookies” are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a web site for the purpose of facilitating and enhancing your communication and interaction with that web site. Many web sites use cookies for these purposes.  We and our business partners and advertisers may use cookies (or clear gifs, web beacons or similar devices) to customize your visit to the Web Site, to collect Aggregate Information (but not Personal Information), to make your visit more convenient by remembering your preferences or to enable us to enhance our Web Site.  You may stop or restrict the placement of cookies on your computer or flush them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences, in which case you may still use our Web Site, but it may interfere with some of its functionality.

Security: The security of your Personal Information is very important to us. We have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect.  However, we cannot state that we can completely guarantee that communications between you and Reiman Media or information stored on the Web Site or our servers will be completely free from unauthorized access by third parties such as hackers.  Therefore, by using the Web Site, you acknowledge that the potential for unauthorized access still exists and you agree to assume this risk.

Protection for Children: We have no intention of collecting personal information from children under the age of 13.  When we become aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected without such child’s parent or guardian’s consent, we will use all reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database.

Opt-Out Process: We give you the option to remove your Personal Information from any lists that we maintain of users. All unsubscribe or opt-out requests should be sent to us at editors@tasteofhome.co and we will process your request within a reasonable time after receipt. We are not responsible for removing your Personal Information from the lists of any third party who has previously been provided your information in accordance with this policy.
