Privacy Statement​

​

Fleur de Lis Gourmet Bakery (“we” or “us”) seeks to safeguard your privacy and secure your information during your visit to our website and your use of our website services.  This privacy policy outlines our practices for the collection, use, and disclosure of the information that you provide to us through this website.  By visiting this website or using our services, you consent to the procedures and practices discussed in this policy.  We may, from time to time, change this privacy policy, so please check it regularly for any changes or updates.  If you have any questions regarding this privacy policy, then you may email us at cakes@fdlgourmetbakery.com

​

Key Terms

Throughout this privacy policy, we use several specialized terms.  When we use the term “Personally Identifiable Information” in this privacy policy, we mean information that is specific to you as an individual, like your name, email address, residential address, telephone number, facsimile number, employment history, and other biographical information, compensation, and other employment-related information and credit card information.  The term “User Information” incorporates all of your Personally Identifiable Information and any other forms of information discussed in this privacy policy.  We use the term “aggregate” to indicate our combination of information from various persons or users.  Information is said to be “anonymized” if it does not identify individual persons or entities or associate a particular person or entity with such information.

Disclosing Your Information to Third Parties

Any Personally Identifiable Information may be used for our internal business purposes and disclosed to third parties, as stated below:

​

(a) Agents and Service Providers:  We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf.  Examples include creating and maintaining our website, sending postal mail and email, managing and updating customer lists, developing and delivering targeted advertising, providing analytics and site usage information, processing transactions and payments, administering our promotions and surveys, providing other marketing and promotional assistance, and providing other services related to the operation of our business.  These third parties, contractors, consultants, and other parties require the Personally Identifiable Information to perform their functions on our behalf.  These companies and individuals have agreed to keep Personally Identifiable Information confidential.  

​

(b) Legal Compliance and Protection:  Notwithstanding any other statements or representations in this Statement or elsewhere on our Site, we reserve the right to disclose any information in our possession if we are required to do so by law or we believe, in good faith, that such a disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, court order or other government or law enforcement agency, defend our rights or property, or to respond to an emergency situation or protect the rights, property or safety of website users.

​

(c) Corporate Transactions.  We reserve the right to share information with our corporate affiliates and subsidiaries and to transfer Personally Identifiable Information to a purchaser or successor entity in the event of a sale or other corporate transaction involving some or all of our business.

​

In addition, any anonymized information that you send us such as your questions, suggestions, ideas or other creative material (“Feedback”) belongs to us and will not be treated as confidential.  We may use, reproduce, adapt, distribute, display, disclose, or create derivative works from Feedback without acknowledgment or compensation to you.  

​

Cookies

We may employ cookies (e.g., small text files) that our website may send to your browser for storage on your hard drive.  We may use such cookies to make our Site easier by saving your status and preferences upon visits to our Site.  Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, but you may be able to change the settings to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent.  If you choose to modify your settings to reject cookies, then it may affect your use of our website.  

 

Revise Your Information

If you use our services or website, then you have voluntarily consented to our information collection, use, and disclosure practices as described in this privacy policy and other written documentation that may be provided to you regarding the services or website.  If you would like to modify information about you that we or other third parties may view through our website, such as changing your contact information or revising your resume or job posting, then please email us at cakes@fdlgourmetbakery. 

 

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly comply with your information revision requests.  However, we will retain copies of such information as necessary for us to comply with governmental orders, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, enforce any agreement you have entered into with us, and as otherwise reasonably necessary for our business purposes.

​

Security

We employ and maintain technology and security measures designed to protect your information.  When you submit information on our website, that information is subject to various protections, including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, firewalls, and password-protected systems.  However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us.

​

Control of Your Password

To help secure User Information, we designed a password-protected system.  We will never ask for your password or user identification in an unsolicited phone call or an unsolicited email.  Except as specifically permitted by this privacy policy or other instructions regarding the use of our website or services, you may not and will ensure that you do not lend, give, or otherwise disclose any passwords or user identifications to any unauthorized person or permit any unauthorized person to use your accounts, related passwords or user identifications.  Any loss of control of passwords or user identifications may result in the loss of control over Personally Identifiable Information.  You will be responsible for any actions taken on your behalf or any person using your passwords or user identifications.  If passwords or user identifications have been compromised for any reason, then you should immediately notify us so that we may issue you new passwords or user identifications.  

​

Managing “Do Not Track” Signals

Some browsers have a Do Not Track (“DNT”) feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want your online activities tracked.  When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, ad networks, plug-in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity via cookies or other tracking technologies.  [Fleur de Lis Gourmet Bakery’s website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals or mechanisms.]

​

Third-Party Web Sites

You may have the option to enter third-party websites through our website, or you may have the option to enter our website from another third-party website.  Since we cannot be assured that such third-party websites follow our privacy policies, we encourage you to ask questions and review the privacy policies of these third parties.  We have no responsibility or liability for the actions or policies of these independent sites, do not endorse any product or service that may be mentioned or offered in such sites and are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such sites.

​

Children’s Privacy

We do not intend for this Site to be used by children under the age of 13, nor do we seek to collect information about children under the age of 13.  If you are under the age of 13, please do not provide us with any User Information and promptly exit this Site.  By using or attempting to use the Site, you certify that you are at least 13 years of age and meet any other eligibility requirements of the Site.
