This privacy policy was last revised on September 1, 2023. Each time you use the 5 MINUTE GOURMET Platform or provide us with information, by doing so you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at that time.
In order to operate the 5 MINUTE GOURMET Platform and to provide you with information about products or services that may be of interest to you, we may collect "personal information" (i.e. information that could be used to contact you directly (without using the 5 MINUTE GOURMET Platform) such as full name, postal address, phone number, credit/debit card information, or email address) or "demographic information" (i.e. information that You submit, or that we collect, that is not personal information; this may include, but is not limited to, zip code, hometown, gender, username, age/birth date, browsing history information, searching history information, and registration history information.
Demographic information is divided into two categories: 1) "non-public information", which consists of information regarding a food trade and one-on-one communications between you and other users of the 5 MINUTE GOURMET Platform; and 2) "public information", which consists of all other demographic information. Please note that nowhere on the 5 MINUTE GOURMET Platform do we knowingly collect, keep or maintain personal information from children under the age of 18, as we require that all users represent to us that they are at least 18 years old.
We use your email address and your other personal information to help us efficiently operate the 5 MINUTE GOURMET Platform, to contact you in connection with your transactions and other activities on the 5 MINUTE GOURMET Platform (including, but not limited to, confirmation emails, or important news that could affect your relationship with 5 MINUTE GOURMET), to forward information regarding a food trade to you from other users, to forward information regarding a food trade from you to other Users, and to contact you and others to suggest potential matches.
