Information Collection
As described in detail below, FreezeDriedCafe, or third parties designated by FreezeDriedCafe, may collect certain identifying information from or about you in connection with your use of, or your submissions to, the System ("User Information") as well as other non-personally identifiable information from or about you ("Non-User Information" and, together with the User Information, the "Collected Information") in a variety of ways. Collected Information includes, without limitation, a first and last name; a home, or other physical address; geographic location; a phone number; an e-mail address; date of birth; gender; race/ethnicity; FreezeDriedCafe or InfectiousDating.com account number, username, and password; as well as, additional personally identifiable information about you that we may collect from time to time. As described in more detail below, we use the Collected Information to provide the Services described below; to open, maintain, and close user accounts; for marketing purposes; to provide continuing education services; and to more efficiently and effectively respond to user queries.
Registration
To access certain areas of the Services designated as “Members Only”, "protected areas" or a similar designation, you must register with FreezeDriedCafe. If you wish to use such areas of the Services, you will be required initially to enter certain Collected Information (e.g., current FreezeDriedCafe account number, first name, last name, e-mail address, username, and password) to gain access.
Online Orders
FreezeDriedCafe may request information from its users to allow them purchase products, renew dues, register for conferences, and make donations; such information includes contact information (such as name and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date, etc.). This information is primarily used by FreezeDriedCafe and third parties designated by FreezeDriedCafe for billing and to fill customer orders, but may be used by FreezeDriedCafe, or third parties designated by FreezeDriedCafe, for other business purposes. For example, if there is a problem processing an order, this information may be used to contact the user.
Online Forms
FreezeDriedCafe, or third parties designated by FreezeDriedCafe, requests information from users via online forms for certain specific business purposes. For example, online forms will be used to obtain personal information for personality matching, user information for ongoing validation of user accounts, and geographical information for demographic security validation. Online form information may be used by FreezeDriedCafe, for a variety of internal business purposes as well as compatibility matching.
Information Use
Our primary goal in collecting your information is to provide you with a personalized, relevant, and positive experience when using the Services.
As an integral part of providing the Services, we will disclose your profile information to other users with whom the Services determine you have an affinity. Photos and other profile information posted by you will be available to such other users. We may also make features available enabling other users to share certain aspects of your profile information, including photos, with members of their social network(s).
In addition to the uses mentioned or described elsewhere in this Privacy Statement or in the Terms of Use, we, our affiliates, and designated third parties may use the Collected Information to analyze and improve the content and features of the Services, as well to conduct certain targeted marketing activities specific to users. We may send you information that you request from us, promotional materials regarding FreezeDriedCafe's services, and any other communication for any other legitimate and lawful business purposes. Additionally, we may retain and use certain Collected Information to facilitate and otherwise address certain inquiries, requests, subscriptions, or business transactions and relationship with FreezeDriedCafe, or any of our affiliates, or respond to your questions or requests for information about or from FreezeDriedCafe or any of our affiliates or trusted business partners. If you contact us for support or assistance, we may use information about you or your system for purposes such as verifying whether your system meets the minimum requirements needed to use the Services. Additionally, we may transfer your Collected Information to our affiliates or trusted business partners for the purpose of advertising certain services provided by such affiliates or trusted business partners. We may also use Collected Information as necessary to ensure compliance with any FreezeDriedCafe policies and any applicable laws. FreezeDriedCafe may also exchange Collected Information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection, credit risk reduction, and collection activities.
FreezeDriedCafe may use various analytics tools and technologies regarding how users interact with the various portions of the System that require storage of web-session data. These tools and technologies are used to assist System users by using cookies and scripts (as described in the "Cookies" section below) to collect and store information-such as how users interact with the System, errors users encounter when using the System, device identifiers, how often users visit certain portions or components of the System, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to using the System. Stored web-session data used by such analytics services or tools are used in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
Additionally, we may offer message boards, voice communication features, and other interactive or social-type features on the System. Please be aware that these areas may allow you to publicly post, and share with other users, certain messages, content, or other information. Although we may take certain precautions to protect those who use these areas of the System, we encourage you to be wary of giving out any User Information-or any personally identifiable information of others to which you may have access-in such public forums. The information you post or disclose can be collected and used by people you don't know to identify you or others. We cannot guarantee the privacy and safety of these areas and are therefore not responsible for any information you choose to post. Your use of these features is fully at your own risk.
While some information may be used for various business, service and marketing purposes, we do not allow the external use, transfer or transmission of user sensitive information such as medical conditions ("Affinity") and have numerous precautions to protect such data from internal and external data breaches. Please be aware that just the inherent use of the Website and the other Services, and the nature of Affinity matching could allow for individual / pinpoint data collection that could lead to public knowledge.
Cookies
By placing a small file known as a "cookie" on your computer (or other device by which you may access the System), FreezeDriedCafe's, and the designated third parties', servers may passively gather information about you, as a user of the Services. The Website currently employs two types of cookies. The standard cookie collects information about each user stored on the user's hard drive (the "Standard Cookie"). The second type of cookie, called a "Session Cookie," also collects information about each user. Session Cookies are used only while the user is actively connected to the System. Once the user closes the web browser (or is otherwise inactive for more than a certain period of time), these Session Cookies are destroyed. FreezeDriedCafe uses both types of cookies on the System. In the future, we may add additional cookies for business purposes.
FreezeDriedCafe uses Standard Cookies for several business purposes. Primarily, when users arrive at the Website, a unique cookie is automatically stored on each user's computer (or other device) by his/her Internet browser, which allows analysis software to differentiate between new and returning users.
While a user is active on the Website, Session Cookies are used for a variety of business purposes. For example, these cookies allow members to navigate freely through a website once they have logged into a website. Without these cookies, members would have to log in each time they request a "protected area" page. These cookies are also used while a member is joining, renewing, or altering account information. This allows the Services to track the user's activity before any data are committed to a database. Session Cookies also allow us and our third-party providers to collect other technical and navigational information, such as browser type, time spent on the Services (or certain portions thereof), and pages visited.
Most popular Internet browser applications will allow you to configure the browser so as not to accept cookies. However, setting your browser to reject cookies may, in certain instances, prevent you from taking full advantage of the Services (or some portion thereof) and its capabilities or cause some features of the Services to function improperly or more slowly.
Certain portions of the Services use Google Analytics (including the Universal Analytics feature), a web analysis service provided by Google, in order to better understand your use of our Website (or other portions of the Services) and how we can improve the Website and the other Services. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit a website, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other websites they used prior to coming to such website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the System, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with your personal information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Services, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Services is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Statement. Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of the Services, to prepare reports on its activities, and to share such reports with other Google services. To more fully understand how Google may use the data it collects on the Services, please review "How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps" (located HERE or any successor URL). If you would like additional information regarding the security and privacy practices of Google's Universal Analytics feature, please review the materials provided by Google.
Some areas of the Services may contain electronic images known as "web beacons" (sometimes known as "clear gifs") that allow FreezeDriedCafe, and its third party providers, to count and track users who have visited certain portions of the Services. Web beacons collect only limited information, including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides. Web beacons do not collect any of your personal information.
Remarketing
Our third-party service providers use pixels that cause cookies, or similar technology, to be stored on your browser when you visit the Services. This is necessary for our third-party service providers to provide remarketing services. Remarketing allows FreezeDriedCafe to display highly targeted ads to people who have visited the Services.
As a user browses a website that has partnered with a specific remarketing advertising network, the advertising network provider stores a number in the user's browser (using a cookie) in order to remember the user's visits to the site. This number uniquely identifies a web browser on a specific computer, not a person. FreezeDriedCafe can then target advertisements to specific users based on their behavior on the Services.
In addition to adjusting the settings on your Internet browser as described above, you can opt out of Google's use of cookies by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Log Files
Each view of a page on the Services is logged. Information such as the user's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, time of day, and duration of activity on the website is recorded. This information may be used by FreezeDriedCafe, or third parties designated by FreezeDriedCafe, to analyze trends, administer the Services, track users' movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use or for other business purposes including security audits, account verification, marketing and sales and ongoing web site improvement.
If illegal activity is detected on the Services, FreezeDriedCafe, or third parties designated by FreezeDriedCafe, may-but have no obligation to-attempt to connect an IP address to User Information. Except as otherwise required by law or regulation, FreezeDriedCafe has no obligation to monitor the Services, or any portion thereof, for any illegal or improper activity.
Links
For your convenience, the Services may contain links to other Internet sites or services not under FreezeDriedCafe's control. Please be aware that FreezeDriedCafe is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites and services. In addition, should you happen to initiate a transaction on a website or services that the Services link to, even if you reached that site through the Services, the information that you submit to complete that transaction becomes subject to the privacy practices of the operator of that linked website or services. You should read that website's privacy statement or privacy policy to understand how personal information that is collected about you is used and protected by such third party. We encourage our users to be aware of when they leave the Services and to read the privacy statement of each website or service that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Statement applies solely to information collected on the Services.
Surveys and Promotions
From time to time, FreezeDriedCafe, or third parties designated by FreezeDriedCafe, requests information from users via surveys. Information requested may include contact information (e.g., name, mailing address) and demographic information (e.g., zip code, age, employment status). Survey information may be used by FreezeDriedCafe, or third parties designated by FreezeDriedCafe, for a variety of business purposes. For example, surveys will be used for the purpose of improving services offered by FreezeDriedCafe. Participation in FreezeDriedCafe surveys is completely voluntary.
In addition, you may wish to participate in online quizzes, questions, contests, sweepstakes, and other promotions that we may offer from time to time. Participation in these contests, sweepstakes, and promotions is completely voluntary; you have a choice about whether to disclose information required to enter. Information requested may include personal contact information, such as your name, address, date of birth, phone number, mobile phone number, e-mail address, username, and/or similar information. In addition, as noted above, we may share this information with our third-party providers or other entities. Through these online promotions, you may choose to participate in activities such as sharing information found on the Services with others and sending e-mail invitations. In connection with any online contests, sweepstakes, and other promotions that we may offer from time to time via the Services, we use the information you provide to administer the polls, contests, sweepstakes, and other promotions. Subject to applicable contractual or legal restrictions, we also may use the information to communicate with you, or the other people you select, about our services, or our marketing partners may use such information to communicate with you about the online contests, sweepstakes, or other promotions or about their products and services.
Information Submission Choices
When submitting information, corresponding, making requests for information, and otherwise interacting with FreezeDriedCafe and its representatives through or in connection with the Services, you choose what information to supply or submit, whether you wish to receive further information, and how you may be contacted. Please take care to share only such information as is needed or that you believe is appropriate. Note, however, that if you don't provide certain requested information, we may be unable to provide certain Services to you, you may be unable to take full advantage of the Services (or some portion thereof) and its capabilities, or some features of the System may function improperly. Any promotional e-mail we send to you will contain a link that will allow you to opt out of receiving any further correspondence. If you have created an online account, you may have the ability to change your correspondence preferences by logging into your account and selecting your preferences.
Sharing
Security
When you submit information via the Services, FreezeDriedCafe, or third parties designated by FreezeDriedCafe, takes certain precautions to protect your user information both online and offline. Nevertheless, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee that information transmitted or supplied by users to the Services will be totally secure. You agree to immediately notify us of any breach of the security of the Services, this Privacy Statement, or the Terms of Use of which you become aware.
If you have any questions about the current state of security with respect to information collected at the Website or stored offline, you may send an e-mail to [email protected].
Submissions to the System and Social Media Websites
Any information, communications, or material of any type or nature that you submit to the Services, as well as to any of our pages contained on a social media platform or website-by e-mail, posting, messaging, uploading, downloading, or otherwise (each a "Submission") is done at your own risk and without any expectation of privacy. We cannot control the actions of other users of the Services or a social media platform and are therefore not responsible for any Submissions contained on the Services or any social media platform or website. Furthermore, by visiting any of our pages that are contained on any social media platform or website, you are representing and warranting to us that you have reviewed the applicable Privacy Statement and terms of use of such website or social media platform and that you will abide by all such provisions contained therein.
Children
The Services (including the Website and the Mobile Applications,) are intended for a general audience and are not intended for use or view by children under 18 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect information about children or sell products to children. Consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, we will not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. Furthermore, we may restrict entries to any contests, sweepstakes, or promotions to entrants who are at least 18 years of age.
Visiting the System From Outside the United States
If you are visiting the Services, or any part thereof, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, or stored or processed in, the United States and other countries. Our primary web and database servers are located in the United States; however, some of our third-party providers that provide certain portions of the Services may use servers located in other countries. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country, but please be assured that we take steps to protect your privacy. By using any portion of the Services, you understand and consent to the transfer of your information to our facilities in the United States and those facilities of the third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Statement that are located in the United States or other countries.
California Privacy Rights and Do Not Track Disclosures
Under California law, California residents have the right to request in writing from businesses with whom they have an established business relationship (a) a list of the categories of personally identifiable information-such as name, e-mail and mailing addresses, and the type of services provided to the customer-that a business has disclosed to third parties (including affiliates that are separate legal entities) during the immediately preceding calendar year for the third parties' direct marketing purposes and (b) the names and addresses of all such third parties. To request the above information, please e-mail FreezeDriedCafe at [email protected] with a reference to California Disclosure Information.
California law requires that FreezeDriedCafe indicate whether it honors "Do Not Track" settings in your browser concerning targeted advertising. Do Not Track is a standard that is currently under development. As it is not yet finalized, FreezeDriedCafe adheres to the standards set out in this Privacy Statement and does not monitor or follow any Do Not Track browser requests.
Correcting and Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes or if a user no longer desires our services, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct or update personal data provided to us by that user. This can usually be done from your Account Settings page or by contacting our Action Center at 505-750-8665. Some information, such as a user's name, affinity or ethnicity, must be changed via e-mail to: [email protected]
Choice and Opt-out
Only those individuals who have created an account on the Services or have otherwise evinced an interest in or consent to receiving communications from FreezeDriedCafe (including, for clarity, those individuals or organizations that have found FreezeDriedCafe through FreezeDriedCafe's marketing pages or microsites) will receive e-mail or other communications from FreezeDriedCafe. We consider, and all FreezeDriedCafe account holders or other users of the Services hereby acknowledge and agree, that providing contact information (such as an e-mail address) as part of creating an FreezeDriedCafe account (or otherwise through the System) constitutes an individual's consent to receive messages or other communications from FreezeDriedCafe. However, if you no longer wish to receive our e-mail newsletters or promotional e-mails, you may opt out of receiving a specific communication from FreezeDriedCafe by following the unsubscribe instructions in any e-mail message you receive. Please allow a reasonable period of time for us to satisfy your request, as some promotions may already be in process. Please note that there are certain communications that will still be sent to users by FreezeDriedCafe, or third parties designated by FreezeDriedCafe. These communications include, without limitation, account updates, certification maintenance reminders, and invoice and membership renewal notices and inline advertisements. Please note that even if you opt out as described above, FreezeDriedCafe will retain your Collected Information for analytical purposes and other internal purposes, including an ability to reconnect you with such Collected Information if you later opt in to any of the data sharing, use, or communications set forth above.

The most recent version of the Privacy Statement is reflected by the version date located at the top of this Privacy Statement. All such updates and amendments are effective immediately upon notice thereof, which we may give by any means, including, but not limited to, posting a revised version of this Privacy Statement or other notice on the Website and the Mobile Applications. You should view this Privacy Statement often to stay informed of changes that may affect you, as your continued use of the System signifies your continuing consent to be bound by this Privacy Statement. We expressly reserve the right to make any changes to this Privacy Statement at any time, without prior notice to you.
