Privacy Policy
Bavarian Meats an Oberto Snacks, Inc. brand has created this privacy policy (the “Policy”) to explain our privacy practices so you will understand when and how personal information is collected, used, disclosed and protected with respect to our Web Site located at bavarianeats.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you consent to the privacy practices described in this Policy, as modified from time to time by us. Therefore, you should carefully review this policy so you understand our data privacy practices.
INFORMATION ABOUT YOU
We collected two basic types of information from our website, namely personal information and aggregate information. Personal information is information that is directly associated with a specific person or entity such as a customer’s name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, or information about activities that is directly linked to that person.
Our definition of personal information does not include “aggregate” information. Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or category of services or user from which individual user identities have been removed. Aggregate data may include anonymous demographic information such as country of origin, citizenship, ZIP code, age, gender, preferences and survey information. In other words, how you use our Site may be collected and combined with information about how others use the Site, but no personal information will be included in the resulting data. Aggregate data helps us understand trends and our user’s needs so that we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor our Site. Here are the types of personal and other information we collect. You should refer to the rest of this Policy to see how we use, disclose and protect this information:
