We at Clickstarter, LLC (D.B.A. Munchvana), are committed to respecting your privacy. The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you of how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information when you visit our websites. This policy discloses the privacy practices for our Apps and websites, and applies only to users accessing these websites and Apps from the United States. All of our sites and apps are referred to collectively as the "Sites." All of our Sites are targeted to users and individuals located in the United States.
Our Policy provides the following information:
Collection of Personal Information
Personal information is data that can be used to uniquely identify a single person. We may collect personal information from you, either upon request or automatically. The information collected may include, without limitation, information regarding your computer or device, browser, connection speed, geographic location of your computer, or other device, as well as date/time stamp, IP address, pages visited, time of visits, content viewed, ads viewed, the site(s), application(s), destination(s), and/or service(s) you arrived from, and other clickstream data. Third parties may collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our websites. We may receive information from third parties, including demographic information on site visitors (age, gender, and interests).
For example, when you register with Munchvana or one of our websites, cooking courses, electronic newsletters, product giveaways, surveys, or other services, personal information is requested. Furthermore, you may be asked, when entering personal information into one of our third party hosted applications, whether you agree to have information shared with Munchvana. If you choose not to provide the information we request, you can still visit parts of our websites and use our Apps, but you may be unable to access certain content, offers, and services.
COOKIES, PIXELS, AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
When you visit our websites, use our mobile apps, open or click on emails we send you, or interact with our advertisements, we or our third–party partners and service providers (such as advertising networks, analytics providers and social media platforms and networks) automatically collect certain information using online tracking technologies such as pixels, web beacons, software developer kits, third-party libraries, and cookies. Some online tracking technologies help us maintain the security of our websites and your account, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist with basic site functions.
We permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking technologies on our websites and mobile apps for analytics and advertising, including to help manage and display advertisements and to tailor advertisements to your interests. For example, we use the Meta Pixel on our transaction-related pages. This tool allows us to track transactions (but not videos viewed) on our websites. Using the Meta Pixel in this limited context helps us evaluate the effectiveness of our advertising and learn more about our subscribers, including how they came to enroll in Munchvana's websites, courses, newsletters, or other services.
To the extent these online tracking technologies are deemed to be a "sale" / "sharing" (which includes targeted advertising, as defined under the applicable laws) under applicable U.S. state laws, such as California, you can opt out of these online tracking technologies by submitting a request to info@munchvana.com. If you don't want cookies, most Web browsers include an option that allows you to not accept them. However, if you opt out of tracking technologies or set your browser to refuse cookies, some portions of our sites may not function as intended or some features of our websites may not be available to you as a result.
For Google Analytics, you may exercise an opt-out by going to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You may also adjust your Google advertising settings by visiting http://adssettings.google.com
Further, you can opt out of targeted advertising directly with many ad networks and partners, data exchanges, and marketing analytics and other digital advertising and marketing service providers. You may also be able to choose to control targeted advertising on other websites and platforms that you visit. In addition, you may choose to control targeted advertising you receive within applications by using the settings and controls on your devices (for example, by re-setting your mobile device's advertising identifier and/or opting out of interest-based ads).
The Do Not Track browser setting. Some Internet browsers include the ability to transmit Do Not Track signals. Our websites do not process or respond to Do Not Track signals. To learn more about "Do Not Track", please visit All About Do Not Track
Use of Information About You
Munchvana uses the information we collect from site visitors in part to understand site usage and control the content and offerings on our sites or present offerings across third party sites.
From time to time, we are approached by companies or organizations that have a product or service that we believe might be of interest to you. We may share some of your information with these companies so that they can communicate their products or services to you (we never share telephone or credit card numbers with any third party).
You may opt-out of our sharing or selling your information by contacting us at: info@munchvana.com
Your email address is added to our electronic mailing list so that, from time to time, we can send you our newsletters or information about special promotions. You may unsubscribe from our newsletters and marketing materials through the "unsubscribe" function in our emails or by changing your preferences in your account.
From time to time, we may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code). We may use this information to notify contest winners and award prizes, to monitor site traffic or personalize the site (in the case of anonymous information collected in surveys), or to send participants an email newsletter. If we use this information for other purposes, we will let you know at the time we provide the opportunity to participate in the contest or survey.
Public Forums
Some of our sites may make chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups available to its users. If you use a bulletin board or chat room on our sites, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums.
Munchvana reserves its rights to terminate the accounts of visitors who use these services in any manner inconsistent with Munchvana's rules, practices, or policies, as determined in Munchvana's sole discretion.
Content posted in these public forums becomes the sole property of Munchvana. Munchvana reserves the right to use content posted in these public forums for business purposes including, but not limited to, inclusion in publications and marketing.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. Our sites have reasonable security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control, and all orders are communicated to us via a secure server. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If you have any questions about security on our sites, you can send an email to us at: info@munchvana.com
Business Transitions
In the event Munchvana or any of its divisions or affiliates goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the assets transferred. You will be notified via prominent notice on our Web site of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

California residents may contact us at any time to exercise the following rights: (i) to opt-out of allowing us to sell their personal information, (ii) to require that we delete their personal information from our marketing archives, and (iii) to receive a disclosure from us of how we have used their personal information and with whom we have shared it for marketing purposes.
