Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website for record-keeping and user preference tracking. At Chefyoyo.com, we use cookies and related technologies (e.g., pixel tags or web beacons) to gather information that helps us understand user behavior, improve our products and services, and offer an enhanced, personalized browsing experience. For instance, cookies may help us remember your login details so that you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit Chefyoyo.com. They also allow us to store your preferences and provide relevant recommendations related to cooking and dining.

You can choose to manage or disable cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers have a “Help” section that explains how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to receive notifications when you receive a new cookie, and how to fully disable cookies. However, disabling cookies may limit some features on Chefyoyo.com, potentially reducing your ability to interact with the Website in the manner we envision. By continuing to use Chefyoyo.com without changing your browser settings, you agree to our use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this Privacy Policy.

4. Disclosure of Information

We respect your privacy and value the trust you place in us. Accordingly, we will not rent or sell your personal information to third-party entities for their marketing purposes. We may share aggregated statistics or anonymized data with third parties for analysis or business purposes, but this data will not identify you personally. Under limited circumstances, we may disclose your information to service providers working on our behalf, such as payment processors, analytics partners, or fulfillment providers, strictly to facilitate tasks related to Chefyoyo.com’s operations.

We may also disclose your data when required by law or when we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, such as responding to lawful subpoenas or court orders. Additionally, we reserve the right to disclose information to protect our own rights, investigate fraudulent or suspicious activity, and ensure the security of Chefyoyo.com. If we ever undergo a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to another entity, subject to compliance with this Privacy Policy and any applicable legal frameworks.

5. Data Retention and Security

We maintain your personal information only as long as it’s necessary for the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected or to comply with legal, tax, or accounting requirements. Once your information is no longer needed, we will securely destroy, erase, or anonymize it. Please note that if you choose to delete your account, we may still retain certain information to fulfill legal or contractual obligations, enforce our agreements, or address legitimate business interests.

To ensure the safety of your information, we employ a range of security measures, including encryption, firewalls, and secure servers. Unfortunately, no online data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be fully secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot completely eliminate security risks associated with data transfers over the internet. Therefore, we encourage you to take reasonable measures on your own, including maintaining strong passwords and keeping sensitive account details confidential, to help safeguard your personal data.

6. Third-Party Websites and Services

Chefyoyo.com may contain links to external websites that operate independently from our control. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or data security standards of those third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies to understand their data collection and handling methods. Likewise, if you choose to engage a third-party web service or application in conjunction with Chefyoyo.com, we ask you to be aware of how any information you share will be used. Before providing personal or sensitive data on an external site, check that website's posted privacy policy.

Some features or services on our Website might be integrated with external partners or vendors who may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites. For example, we may use analytics or advertising partners who utilize tracking technologies for performance metrics. This Privacy Policy does not apply to data collected by those external services, nor are we responsible for their data-handling practices. If you have specific concerns about how any external entity accesses or processes your information when you use Chefyoyo.com, please contact those entities or consult their published policies for further details.

Protecting children’s privacy is a high priority for us. Chefyoyo.com is not directed at nor intended for use by children under the age of thirteen (13). We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 13 years of age. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will promptly take steps to delete it. If you believe we may have inadvertently gathered data related to a child under 13, please contact us so that we can remove any associated information.

Parents and guardians who discover that their child has provided personal information on or through Chefyoyo.com are encouraged to reach out to us immediately. We will take all reasonable and appropriate measures to investigate and, if necessary, remove any such data from our systems. We respectfully urge parents and guardians to talk to their children about the importance of safe online communication and monitoring their children’s online activities.

Chefyoyo.com may store or process data using servers located outside the jurisdiction in which you reside. If you access Chefyoyo.com from outside our primary country of operation, your data may be transferred internationally. Please note that data protection and privacy regulations vary between countries. Consequently, the laws of the country in which your information is transferred or stored may provide different levels of data protection than those in your home jurisdiction.

We reserve the right to verify your identity before processing certain data-related requests to help ensure that only authorized individuals can exercise these rights. Additionally, if we are unable to comply with a request, we will provide you with an explanation of why it cannot be fulfilled.

10. Data Protection for Payments

Chefyoyo.com may offer paid services or products for which we collect payment information, such as billing addresses and credit or debit card details. We might use third-party payment processors to complete these transactions. We make every effort to work with providers that apply robust security measures and comply with recognized data protection standards. These third parties will only be authorized to use your data to process transactions on our behalf and are contractually obligated to safeguard your personal details in accordance with applicable laws.

It is also important for you to remain vigilant when handling sensitive financial information online. Always ensure you are using secure networks, up-to-date software, and best practices for protecting your personal accounts. We encourage you to notify us immediately if you suspect an unauthorized transaction or become aware of suspicious usage of your account or payment details.
