Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how flavourBites Inc. collects, uses, discloses, protects and retains personal information in connection with flavourbites.us, U.S. franchise inquiries and related online interactions.

This Policy applies to information controlled by Flavour Bites. Independent retailers and checkout providers, including One Stop Halal, process information under their own privacy policies when you use their services.

2. Information we may collect

Depending on your interaction, we may collect contact information; franchise-inquiry information such as city, state, preferred market, business experience and messages; customer-service communications; technical information such as IP address, browser and device data; and communication or consent preferences.

We do not intentionally collect full payment-card numbers through flavourbites.us itself when payment is handled by an external retailer or payment provider.

3. Sources of information

We may collect information directly from you, automatically from your browser or device, and from service providers that help us host the site, deliver email, secure systems or manage inquiries.

4. How we use information

We may use personal information to operate and secure the website; respond to inquiries; evaluate franchise or development interest; communicate with you; prevent fraud or misuse; maintain legal and business records; comply with law or legal process; and improve our services.

5. Franchise inquiries

Information submitted through the franchise inquiry form is used to evaluate and respond to your expression of interest and may be shared internally with personnel or professional advisers involved in franchise development. Submitting a form does not create a franchise relationship, commitment or offer.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

The site may use essential cookies or similar technologies needed for security, performance and core functionality. At the effective date, we do not use flavourbites.us to sell personal information or for cross-context behavioral advertising. If we add non-essential analytics, advertising or tracking, we will update this Policy and provide legally required notices or choices.

7. Service providers

We may disclose personal information to service providers that support hosting, cloud infrastructure, email delivery, security, communications, professional advice and data storage. These providers may process information only as necessary to provide authorized services, subject to applicable contracts and law.

8. Independent retailers and purchase platforms

When you click a purchase link to One Stop Halal or another independent retailer, that third party may collect order, shipping, payment, device and account information directly from you. Their privacy policy and terms govern that collection. We may receive limited order or fulfillment information where needed for legitimate business, quality, reconciliation or customer-service purposes.

9. Legal and business disclosures

We may disclose information where required or permitted by law, including to regulators, courts, law enforcement, insurers, auditors or advisers, or in connection with a proposed or completed financing, reorganization, merger, sale or transfer of all or part of the business, subject to applicable protections.

10. No sale of personal information

At the effective date, we do not sell personal information for money and do not knowingly share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If our practices change, we will update this Policy and provide rights and opt-out mechanisms required by applicable law.

11. Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described, legitimate business needs or legal requirements. When no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete, destroy or anonymize it.

12. Security

We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of information, including access controls, secure connections, reputable hosting/email providers and account controls. No system can be guaranteed completely secure.

13. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or information about our handling of your personal information, and in some jurisdictions rights to opt out of certain sales, sharing or targeted advertising. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

To submit a request, email hello@flavourbites.us with the subject “Privacy Request”. We may verify your identity before responding and may deny or limit a request where permitted by law.

14. California notice

If the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, applies to Flavour Bites and to your information, California residents may have rights including to know, correct, delete, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, and receive non-discriminatory treatment. At the effective date, we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising through flavourbites.us.

15. Children

The site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the site. Contact us if you believe a child has provided information improperly.

16. International processing

Flavour Bites is based in Canada and service providers may process information in Canada, the United States or other jurisdictions. Information may therefore be subject to laws and lawful access requirements outside your home state or country.

17. Third-party sites

Independent retail, payment, fulfillment, map, social-media and other linked services have their own privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information.

18. Changes

We may update this Policy as laws, technology, services or practices change. The effective date identifies the current version. Material changes will be communicated appropriately where required.
