Your Privacy
BrazilGourmet, because it respects the privacy
of our customers, has established this Policy for our users and members
to maintain their privacy as set forth below. What follows is the explanation
of why, what and how we gather information from you. We also describe
the way in which we use the information that we gather. There are also
mechanisms set forth below on how you can let us know if you wish to
limit the use of that information. Our Privacy Policy is part of the
website located at www.BrazilGourmet.com, and governs your use of the
website. The Website is owned by BrazilGourmet (the "Company").
All persons using this website or registering to be a member must be

Since we began on the internet, the Company has always provided our
customers and users with the highest caliber of goods, coupled with excellent
customer service. We have provided access to useful information about
our products and we hope we have created a very pleasant internet experience.
We need to retain your personal information to allow us and/or certain
third parties to communicate with you. The information is also used to
process your orders and provide a more personal experience. We use the
information to let you take advantage of promotions and discounts.
What information about you do we compile?
Through our
Website and any affiliated websites and emails, all information that
you give us whether placing an order, emailing us, joining in a contest,
membership and/or promotion or otherwise, is collected by us. We collect
the following information: your name, address, telephone number, email
address, birth date, billing information (credit card number, expiration
date and billing address), birthday, holiday, etc.), products purchased,
all appropriate promotion codes and information. If a gift is sent, the
gift and message persons' name, address, telephone number, email address,
and any other information you provide to us may also be collected.
What are "cookies" and
how are they utilized?
A "cookie" is a file stored on your computer
by a website which identifies you by a particular identification code.
This cookie allows us to know that you are a customer and retains information
about your use of our website. It also allows us to make certain features
available to you. If you wish to stop the use of cookies, you can do
so by through the Help Menu on the toolbar of most web browsers. However,
the cookies allow you to take full advantage of all features on the
website.
Information collected from you and our use of it.
All
information collected from you is used by us to take orders, send emails
to you and provide the most efficient and fast internet experience. It
allows us to offer you special deals, discounts and promotions. We also
make information available (but not credit card numbers or expiration
dates, unless consented by you) to third parties including but not limited
to, those who trade or rent information for direct marketing purposes.
However, we do not make email addresses available to third parties (except
to our Affiliates, subcontractors or agents acting on our behalf in compliance
with this Privacy Policy) or any Successors to our business unless you
have given your consent. If you do not want us to share your information
follow the directions set forth below.
In the event we merge, consolidate, sell, or transfer
all or substantially all of the assets of our Company by, with, or
into another company (a "Successor"),
one of the assets which would generally be transferred is the information
we collect from our customers and users. However, the use of this information
by any Successor would still be governed by the terms of this Privacy
Policy, as amended from time to time, including any amendment after such
transaction. You will continue to have the right to opt-out of sharing
your information with third parties.
Information will be disclosed to comply with any law, regulation, governmental
or law enforcement request, or judicial process. It will also be disclosed
if the disclosure is needed or necessary for the proper operation of
our website, including but not limited to the conduct of promotions and
contests, etc. Disclosure may also be required to protect our rights,
or the rights of our Affiliates, users, customers, etc.

property and is to be used by you for your use of our website. Each individual
using our website is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality
of their password. Since you are responsible for your password, any activities
with the use of your password are your responsibility, whether or not

Privacy Policy, including without limitation the transfer of such data

Links
We want you to be aware that when you click on
links and/or ad banners that take you to third-party websites, you will
be subject to the privacy policies and terms of use of those third party
websites, not ours. While we support the protection of privacy on the
Internet, we cannot be responsible for the actions of third parties.
We encourage you to read the posted privacy statement and user terms
and conditions whenever interacting with, and prior to providing any
personal information to, any other website.
Your Security
If you place an order our Website encrypts
your credit card number you submit prior to transmission over the Internet
using secure socket layer (SSL) encryption technology. This technology
works best when the site is viewed using Microsoft's Internet Explorer¨ or
Netscape Navigator¨.
However, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public
network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we make reasonable
efforts to safeguard your personal information once we receive it, we
cannot warrant the security of information you transmit to us.
