the corresponding links within each respective website. Online merchants and others
who participate in Foodee.com services are encouraged to participate
in industry privacy initiatives and to take a responsible attitude towards consumer

Information We Collect and How We Use It
Foodee.com collects certain information from and about its
users three ways: directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.
A. Web Server Logs
When you visit our Website, we may track information to administer the site and
analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track include:
- Your Internet protocol address.
- The kind of browser or computer you use.
- Number of links you click within the site.
- State or country from which you accessed the site.

B. Use of Cookies
Foodee.com may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience.
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server.
Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies
are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web Server in the domain
that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save
you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site,
a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.
Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site
navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well
as providing personalized functionality.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies.
If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this
may disable some of the functionality on our Website.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to
third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:
- To fulfill your service requests for services.
- To protect ourselves from liability,
- To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
Third Party Advertising
Advertisements displayed on the Foodee.com website may collect
information such as your IP address and through the use of cookies. This privacy
policy does not cover the use of tracking technology used by our advertisers.
Use of Web Beacons or Gif Files
Foodee.com web pages may contain electronic images known as
Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow Foodee.com
to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services.
Foodee.com may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or
newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers, such as
advertisers, to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or
email communications. These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to
place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to
recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile
anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to
our website and how you use the site. Foodee.com prohibits Web beacons
from being used to collect or access your personal information.
Cancelling Your Membership
All members of the Foodee.com website can cancel and remove their account
at anytime. To cancel your account, login to your account, click on the “Account”
tab. From here, fill in your password and click the “Remove My Account” button to
cancel your membership.
Changes to this Statement
Foodee.com has the discretion to occasionally update this privacy
statement. When we do, we will also revise the “updated” date at the top of this
Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement to
stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect.
Your continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy statement
and any updates.
