Privacy Policy.
Effective Date: March 31, 2021
The Veggie LLC (“The Veggie”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the www.eattheveggie.com website (the “Site”) and service offerings related to THE VEGGIE. This Privacy Policy applies to the Site, service offerings and to any other website offered by us that reference or link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”).
This Privacy Policy describes the types of information that we may collect or you may provide when you register with, access or use the Services. This Privacy Policy also describes our practices for collecting, using, disclosing, and maintaining such information.
This Privacy Policy does not alter the terms of any other agreement that you may have with us. Your use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH OUR POLICIES AND PRACTICES, DO NOT REGISTER WITH, ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES. By registering with, accessing or using the Services, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
1. Personal Information We Collect. “Personal information” is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person. We collect this information from registered users of the Services and for visitors who use the Services to order food online via Square (Block, Inc.). If you register for an account on the Site, Square will collect your name, email address, username, and password. If you place an order using the Services, then we may also collect your order and transactional data, such as the information necessary to process your orders when you place an order at one of our restaurants or through the Services for delivery or pick-up, information about your payment transactions, and your order history and, if you choose a food delivery option, then your address and mobile phone number. Through your account, you may be able to view previous orders, save preferred payment method, and update your profile information. Even if you do not use the Services as a registered user, you may still provide us information, such as via the Contact page or if you sign-up to our email list.
2. Information We Receive from Third Parties. We may receive information about you (including personal information) from third parties. For example, if you are on another website and you opt-in to receive information from us, that website will forward to us your email address and other information about you so that we may contact you as requested. We may combine the information we receive from these third parties with information we collect through the Services. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to any personal information received, unless we have disclosed otherwise. When you interact with us through various social media, for example, by liking us on Facebook, or following us on Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok, we may collect information including your email address, location and other biographical information. The information we receive from your social network depends on your privacy settings. You should always review, and, if you prefer, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before linking or connecting them to the Services.
3. Automatic Data Collection; Cookies and Similar Technologies. Whenever you visit or interact with the Services, we, as well as our service providers, may use assorted technologies that automatically collect information about how the Services are accessed and used.

6. Do-Not-Track Requests; Third-Party Tracking. Unless your browser settings are configured to make your online activities and information about your online activities (such as traffic data as described above) invisible to usage analytics tools, we do not presently have the capability to omit you from usage analytics to the extent your browser only sends us a “do not track” message and does not otherwise screen you from tracking without any action on our part. To learn more about browser tracking signals and “Do Not Track”, please visit http://allaboutdnt.org. Third parties, other than our vendors (such as our website analytics provider), do not have authorization from us to track which websites you visited prior to and after visiting the Services. Please note, however, that we cannot control third party tracking and there may be some third party tracking that occurs without our knowledge or consent.
