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.

Security of Sensitive Information
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of information transmitted to us.

We urge you to keep any password that you establish with us in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone.
