Thank you for your interest in the WanderEater website (the “Site”), owned and operated by Stamina Group Inc. (“us”, “our”, and “we”). We believe in giving you full disclosure about the kinds of personal information we gather and what we do with it, as well as giving you a choice about the use of your personal information.
Privacy Policy
INTRODUCTION
We respect your privacy and believe the best way to serve you through the Site is with honesty, accountability and adherence to industry best practice as well as all applicable legal standards. We are extremely sensitive to the issue of privacy and have structured the features of the Site to minimize the requirement to collect Personal Information (as defined below), and to maximize your control over the collection, use and disclosure of any Personal Information.
By visiting or interacting with the Site, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy. We may change this Privacy Policy at any time, and your continued use of the Site indicates your agreement to the revised terms. Accordingly, you should review this Privacy Policy from time to time to keep informed of such amendments. The most recent date of revision will be indicated prominently at the top of the Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy applies to the Site where this Privacy Policy is posted, and does not apply to other websites operated by us or third parties that have different terms and conditions (including privacy policies). Please read the respective websites’ terms of use and policies when accessing such other websites or using such third party applications.
By using the Site you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree to the terms of this policy or any revised Privacy Policy, please do not register as a user or further interact with the Site.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We may collect two types of information from visitors to the Site: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.
“Personal Information” includes your name, email address, mailing address, credit card information and other personally identifiable details.
“Non-Personal Information” is any information that cannot be associated with an identifiable individual, such as aggregated statistical information and the average length of time users spend visiting the Site, or other anonymous information, such as the type and version of browser being used to access the Site or application.
We will collect Personal Information with consent or only where it is voluntarily provided by the individual. If you send an e-mail to us, or fill out our “feedback” form through the Site, we will collect your e-mail address and the full content of your e-mail, including attached files, and other information you provide. We may use and display your full name and email address when you send an email notification to a friend through the Site or the social network from which you have connected to the Site or application (such as in an invitation, or when sharing your content).
We may also collect information about you from a social network website you may be a member of or have connected from, in order to provide you with a more personalized experience. In some cases, we may collect psychographic data from third parties that help us better understand our users.
PERSONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR CONTESTS
You may be able to enter a promotion or contest through the Site. On the online entry form, we ask for Personal Information such as the entrant’s name and address. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable contest rules, this Personal Information is collected, used and/or disclosed solely for the purpose of awarding promotion or contest prizes, tracking compliance with the official rules and regulations and for internal feedback purposes. We will only use and disclose a promotion or contest winner’s name and photograph after receiving prior written consent from the winner (or their parent or legal guardian, if the winner is under the age of majority in his or her Province of residence) and the appropriate release forms are fully completed and returned to us.
WHAT ARE YOUR CHOICES?
We do not sell or otherwise share Personal Information about you without your prior approval. On the page where we ask for that information, there is a prominently displayed method to indicate to us that you do or do not want to receive promotional and/or marketing information about products, services and offerings. It is always your choice, if you choose not to receive promotional and/or marketing information we consider it an opt-out. Your consent to use Personal Information can be withdrawn at any time by unsubscribing in the manner provided on each piece of promotion and/or marketing information we send to you.
WHAT ARE COOKIES AND HOW ARE THEY USED?
