Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At 5DollarDining.com, we have a few fundamental principles:

• We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
• We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, 5DD collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. 5DD’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how 5DD’s visitors use its website. From time to time, 5DD may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

5DD also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. 5DD does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to 5DD’s websites choose to interact with 5DD in ways that require 5DD to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that 5DD gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with 5DD – by purchasing a microsite on 5DollarDining.com, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, 5DD collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with 5DD. 5DD does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

5DD may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, 5DD may monitor the most popular pages on the 5DollarDining.com. 5DD may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, 5DD does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

5DD discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on 5DD’s behalf or to provide services available at 5DD’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using 5DD’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. 5DD will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, 5DD discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when 5DD believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of 5DD, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a 5DD website and have supplied your email address, 5DD may send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with 5DD and our products. If you send us a request, comment or question (for example a restaurant comment), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help other users. 5DD takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. 5DD uses cookies to help 5DD identify and track visitors, their usage of 5DD website, and their website access preferences. 5DD visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using 5DD’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of 5DD’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Ads

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by 5DD and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, 5DD may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in 5DD’s sole discretion. 5DD encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
