How ifiGOURMET Shares Information about Customers 

ifiGOURMET provides your shipping information to UPS, USPS and/or FedEx for shipping purposes. We securely transmit your credit card data to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. As web technology and the online operating environment are constantly evolving, we cannot accurately predict all future applications of the data that we store about your order history.

In the event ifiGOURMET buys or sells a business unit, we may transfer customer information as business assets. That transferred information remains subject to this Privacy Policy. 

We may be required to release your personal information to law enforcement, to comply with the law, or protect the rights, property, or safety of ifiGOURMET, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with organizations that fight fraud and identity theft. 

Security of Sensitive Information 

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of information transmitted to us. To guard your information delivered to us electronically, our Website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL encrypts information submitted via website forms so only we are able to decode the information submitted. IfiGOURMET also complies with Payment Card industry (PCI) requirements and our site is regularly scanned to confirm compliance with these standards. 

Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your contact information, to the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our website, and you do so at your own risk. 

We urge you to keep any password that you establish with us in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to log off your account and close your browser window when you have finished your visit.
