We encourage you to consult directly with such third-parties about their privacy practices.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Services. By accessing or using our Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. This policy may change from time to time; your continued use of our Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

Your communications: Communications between you and other users or merchants through our Services; your participation in surveys, polls, sweepstakes, contests, or promotions; your requests for certain features (e.g., newsletters, updates); your communication with us regarding employment opportunities.

Your transactional information: If you make reservations or purchases through our Services, we may collect and store information to process your requests and automatically complete forms for future transactions, including your phone number, address, email, billing information, and payment card information.

To prevent Google Analytics from collecting your information, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

Tailored Advertising

Third parties whose products or services are advertised via the Services may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Services. This allows them to:

We may allow third parties (e.g., ad networks and servers like Google Analytics, OpenX, DoubleClick) to serve tailored ads on our Services and to place cookies or similar tools on your devices. We do not control these third-party practices, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to their cookies or tracking. Please refer to their policies for more information.

Do Not Track

Currently, Latin Eats does not recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals, as the industry is still developing standards.

V. Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information

We strive to give you choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. You can set your browser or mobile device to refuse all or some browser cookies, or alert you when cookies are being sent. For Flash cookies, adjust settings at Adobe’s website.

IX. Security: How We Protect Your Information

We have implemented appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access to your information and to maintain data security. These measures consider the sensitivity of the data we collect, process, and store, and the current state of technology. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect personal information during transmission and storage, including using third-party services validated as PCI compliant.

We assume no liability for disclosure of your information due to transmission errors, unauthorized third-party access, or causes beyond our control. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. If we receive instructions using your username and password, we will consider those instructions authorized by you.
