At Gourmet for Good, we value your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information in compliance with the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) and applicable federal laws. Our services are intended solely for Colorado residents; users from other jurisdictions (e.g., California, EU) should not use our website or services. For questions, contact us at getinfo@gourmetforgood.com or 303-762-1212.
1. Scope and Application
This policy applies to Gourmet for Good’s website (www.gourmetforgood.com) (www.gourmetforgood.com) and services, including meal orders and blog interactions, for Colorado residents only. We are headquartered at 3255 W Hampden Ave., Sheridan, CO 80110, and operate primarily as a business-to-business (B2B) meal delivery service.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the following personal information:
- Identifiers: Username, email address, and employee contact details (e.g., for business accounts).
- Internet Activity: IP addresses, browser type, language preference, and website usage data (via WordPress and Google Analytics). Blog comments (pre-2020) are minimal.
- Non-Personal Data: Aggregated, de-identified data (e.g., website usage trends).
We collect data directly (e.g., account creation, newsletter sign-ups) and indirectly (e.g., via Google Analytics, Akismet for spam filtering). Financial data (e.g., payment details) is handled by third-party processors (HPay, transitioning to Stripe) and not stored by us.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use personal information to:
- Provide services (e.g., process meal orders, deliver to businesses).
- Personalize offerings (e.g., meal suggestions based on order history via Google Analytics).
- Improve our website (e.g., analyze usage trends).
- Communicate with you (e.g., order confirmations, newsletters).
- Ensure security and prevent fraud.
- Comply with legal obligations.
4. How We Share Your Information
We share personal information only as follows:
- Service Providers: With trusted vendors (e.g., WordPress for hosting, Akismet for spam filtering, HPay/Stripe/Auth.net for payments, Google Analytics/Meta for analytics) who process data on our behalf under confidentiality agreements. Some providers may transfer data outside the U.S. with safeguards like standard contractual clauses.
- Legal Compliance: In response to subpoenas, court orders, or to protect our rights or the public.
- Business Transfers: If Gourmet for Good is acquired or undergoes bankruptcy, your data may be transferred to a third party.
We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, as defined by the CPA.
5. Your Privacy Rights (Colorado Privacy Act)
As a Colorado resident, you have the following rights under the CPA:
- Right to Access: Request details about the personal data we collect, use, or share.
- Right to Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Right to Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to exceptions (e.g., legal obligations).
- Right to Opt-Out: Opt out of targeted advertising or profiling (e.g., analytics-driven personalization). We use Google Analytics for personalization but do not engage in automated decision-making with significant effects.
To exercise your rights, email us at getinfo@gourmetforgood.com or call 303-762-1212. We verify requests using your email or account details and respond within 45 days, extendable as permitted by law. You may authorize an agent to submit requests, subject to verification. We do not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
6. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., via WordPress, Google Analytics) to enable site functionality, analyze usage, and personalize offerings. You can disable cookies in your browser, but this may affect website functionality. We do not use cookies for display advertising.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information (e.g., usernames, email addresses, blog comments) until you request account deletion, unless required by law. Blog comments (pre-2020) are retained indefinitely for site functionality but are minimal.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable security measures, including access controls and encryption for payment processing (via PCI-compliant third parties like HPay/Stripe). Our WordPress database is not confirmed to be encrypted. We take steps to protect your data but cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13, per the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Contact us if you believe we have collected such data.
10. Third-Party Services
Our website uses third-party services (WordPress, Akismet, HPay/Stripe, Google Analytics). These providers may have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We are not responsible for their practices.
11. Non-Colorado Users
Our services are intended solely for Colorado residents. Users from other jurisdictions, including California, the EU, or states with stricter privacy laws (e.g., Minnesota, Maryland), should not use our website or services, as we do not comply with their privacy laws (e.g., CCPA, GDPR).
12. Policy Updates
We may update this policy to reflect legal or operational changes. We will notify you via email or website notice and post the updated policy with a new effective date. Continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of changes.
