HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure.  Siitch’s server maintenance and development team has implemented security measures designed to protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Please note that all payment and credit card transactional information is stored with our 3rd party payment gateway provider, offsite from all generic data that is stored on the Siitch hosting environment. This is in line with current security standards and best practices.

 

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Site. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.

Third-Party Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies.
Some content or applications, including advertisements, on the Site are served by third-parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers, and application providers.

CALIFORNIA DO NOT TRACK DISCLOSURE

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on the DNT signal, the browser sends a message to websites requesting them not to track the user. We do not track our customers over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore do not respond to DNT signals.

If you do not wish to have your contact information used by the Company to promote our own products or services, you can opt out at any time by:

  • Clicking the opt out link in any email newsletter received; or

The summarized data of dietary restrictions of the party will also be saved, but no personally identifiable information will be linked to such summarized data. This will also be stored in the party host’s dashboard for one (1) year.

You may also send us an email at [contact@siitch.com] to correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us or has been provided to us by a user of the Site.
