Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to third parties. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, as long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

We may share aggregated demographic information with our advertising partners. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

Children's Privacy

Our Site is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

California Privacy Rights

California residents have the right to request information about the personal information we collect, use, and disclose. You may also request that we delete your personal information. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below.

Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" (DNT) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about the browser's user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, many website operators, including The Secret Pickle, do not respond to DNT signals.

External Links

Our Site may contain links to external websites that are not operated by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
