Gourmet Gorilla may request additional information from you as necessary to establish and maintain your account.

(a) Without your prior consent and subject to Section 4 below, Gourmet Gorilla will not use your or your child's personal identifiable information for any purpose other than that for which you submitted it. Gourmet Gorilla uses personal identifiable information to reply to your inquiries, handle your complaints, and provide you with operational notices and in connection with the meals program and Site record-keeping. The Site also processes billing and business requests related to Site participation.

(b) The information you provide to the Site may also be collected, used, analyzed and/or processed by Gourmet Gorilla, or selected third parties on the Site's behalf, for marketing and other business purposes. Before Gourmet Gorilla uses the information, however, Gourmet Gorilla will notify you in writing prior to any such use and offer you a reasonable opportunity to opt-out if you wish not to have your personal identifiable information used in this way.

Gourmet Gorilla employs or engages other companies and individuals to perform business functions on our behalf.

These persons engage in a variety of functions which include, but are not limited to, fulfilling orders, delivering packages, removing repetitive information from user lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments and providing user services.

Any billing information supplied by you shall be encrypted for transmittal to a third party intermediary for processing. Such billing information is used only to bill you for those products or services you choose to purchase and/or subscribe through the Site. The encryption process is designed to scramble your billing information for protection against unauthorized misappropriation by third parties. As the technological landscape is constantly changing, no security system is absolutely secure. Therefore, Gourmet Gorilla cannot and does not guarantee the security of any of its databases and information (including any information supplied by you) contained therein, nor can Gourmet Gorilla guarantee (nor does it guarantee) that any information supplied by you will be absolutely secure from interception during transmission to the Site over the Internet.

Gourmet Gorilla reserves the right to disclose your personal information (i) to appropriate law enforcement and other governmental or judicial authorities where release is required by law (for example, a subpoena) or by a regulation, or is requested by a government agency conducting investigations or proceedings or is otherwise permitted by law, if we believe that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate and (ii) in the event of an investigation of improper or illegal conduct in connection with the Site, such as fraud, misrepresentation, intellectual property infringement, or other activity that might put us at risk for liability, if we believe that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate. We will, whenever we believe reasonably possible, use our reasonable efforts to inform you if any of your personal information may be so disclosed.

(a) The Site is not set up to track, collect, or distribute any personal information that is not entered by Site visitors. The Site logs do generate certain kinds of non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our sites. This information is used for internal purposes by technical support staff to provide better services to the public and may also be provided to others, but, again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.

(b) Use of Cookies. The Site, or its third party vendors, collects non-identifiable and personal information through the use of various technologies, including "cookies". A cookie is an alphanumeric identifier that a Web site can transfer to a user's hard drive through the user's browser. The cookie is then stored on the user's computer as an anonymous tag that identifies the user's computer, but not the user. Cookies may be sent by the Site or its third party vendors. The user can set its browser to notify user before a cookie is received, giving an opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. Customer may also set its browser to turn off cookies; however, some Web sites may not then work properly.

Examples of such collecting include: traffic analysis, such as tracking of the domains from which users visit, or tracking numbers of visitors; measuring visitor activity on the Site; Site and system administration; user analysis; and business decision making. Such information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." Gourmet Gorilla or its contractors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics.

To achieve information security and quality, Gourmet Gorilla implements appropriate measures and processes, such as using encryption when transmitting certain sensitive information.

(b) No Liability for Acts of Third Parties. Gourmet Gorilla will exercise reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of user personal information. However, as the technological landscape is constantly changing, no security system is absolutely secure.

(c) Unauthorized Third Party Attempts to Secure Information. You hereby acknowledge and agree that any personal information you disclose on or through the Site shall be at your own risk with a reasonable understanding and awareness of the attendant security and privacy risks, including but not limited to (1) the limitations on the security and authentication measures employed by the Company in connection with the Site; (2) attempts, threats, and schemes employed by third parties to eavesdrop, phish, crack, hack, and falsely retrieve passwords; and (3) attempts, threats, and schemes employed by third parties to damage, contaminate, or otherwise compromise user computers through viruses, trojan horses, worms, time bombs or cancelbots, or other types of malicious computer code, materials, and components.
