Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting catersource.com. Catersource operates an online environment that is safe, easy to use and respectful of your privacy. To better protect your privacy, we provide this Policy explaining our information practices. By visiting us, you are accepting the Privacy Policy described below.

The Information We Collect
Through Catersource publications, website, and other media, you can order products, enter contests, express an opinion, subscribe to one of our services such as our online newsletters, or participate in our online forum. You are able to visit most of this website without providing any personally identifiable information. Sometimes, however, we do need your personally identifiable information to provide you with the products and services that you request. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected at these pages and elsewhere include, but are not limited to: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, credit card information, and information about your interests in and use of various products, programs, and services.

For certain promotions, only persons who provide us with the requested personally identifiable information will be able to order products, programs, and services or otherwise participate in the promotion's activities and offerings.

We also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit many of our web pages such as the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using, and the domain name of your Internet service provider.

How We use the Information
We may use the information you provide about yourself to fulfill your requests for our products, programs, and services, to respond to your inquiries about offerings, and to offer you other products, programs or services that we believe may be of interest to you.

We sometimes use this information to communicate with you, such as to notify you when you have won one of our contests or when we make changes to subscriber agreements, to fulfill a request by you for an online newsletter, or to contact you about your account with us.

The information we collect in connection with our online forum is used to provide an interactive experience. We use this information to facilitate participation in the forums and, from time to time, to offer you products, programs, or services.

People who communicate with Catersource, and supply us with personal information, may receive follow-up and future communications via mail, e-mail and/or telephone call. If you do not wish to receive e-mail messages from Catersource, you may opt-out at any time. Your e-mail addresses will not be sold to any other party.

Those who request information about Catersource and who supply us with their name and address will be added to our database to receive the requested information as well as possible communications about our other products and services including but not limited to Catersource Magazine, Catersource Conference & Tradeshow, Catersource Consulting Unit and occasional offers we deem reliable and pertinent.

Catersource does reserve the right to use secured third-parties to facilitate the delivery of services that require the release of your personal information. That information will be used for the sole purpose of fulfilling a Catersource request and your information will remain the sole property of Catersource.

If you choose to submit content for publication (e.g., a letter to our editor, survey participation, posting on our forum, articles for consideration), you agree that we may publish your submission, name and other information you have provided to us without further consent.
