Please read the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy carefully as they affect your rights and liabilities under the law.

YOUR USE OF AND / OR REGISTRATION ON ANY ASPECT OF THE WEBSITE WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU CANNOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE WEBSITE OR THE SERVICE AND SHOULD CEASE TO ACCESS THE WEBSITE AND UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.

Who Operates The Website?

The Website is operated by the Service Provider being Spoonfed Suppers LLP, a Limited Liability Partnership incorporated in England and Wales, whose registered office is 23 Cavendish Road, London, SW12 0BH, registered with company number OC348131.

What Type of Information is Collected?

We may collect information when you register on the Website or subscribe to the Service (meal planner and healthy eating plan) or purchase any product but only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. This may include personal and aggregate information.

Personal Information: Personal information is information to identify an individual specifically (personally identifiable information). This may include details such as a customer’s name, address, telephone number, email address, billing details and credit card or other account information, information about that individual’s activities when directly linked to that person, such as information about his or her purchases, and other (mainly health-related) information in order to provide you with a personalised nutritional programme. Personal information also includes demographic information, such as date of birth, gender, geographic area, and preferences, when such information is linked to other personal information that identifies the individual.

Aggregate Information: Personal information does not include “aggregate” information. Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or category of products, services or customers, from which individual customer identities have been removed (non-personally identifiable, aggregated information). In other words, information about how you use the Service might be collected and combined with information about how others use the same Service, but no personal information will be included in the resulting data. Likewise, information about the products you purchase might be collected and combined with information about the products purchased by others. We may use this data for any lawful business purpose. For instance, without limitation, aggregate data helps us monitor customer traffic patterns and site use to improve the Service provided; understand trends and customer needs so that we can better consider new products and services; operate, maintain and enhance the quality and design of the Website; diagnose problems with our servers; and tailor existing products and services to customer desires. The collection of this information allows us to prepare for traffic load demands and to deliver the Service efficiently. We might share aggregate information about our users with third parties for various purposes, such as helping us better understand and improve our Service, and for advertising and marketing purposes.

There is no requirement for you to provide us with all such information (personal or aggregate) in order to use the Website. However, if you decide to withhold certain information requested by us, you may not be able to visit all sections of the Website or use the Service and/or buy products, including for example subscribing to the online healthy eating plan and meal planner or purchasing products in the online shop.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and/or account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.

How Do We Collect and Use Personal Information?

The Service Provider collects personal information from you at several different points on the Website, as set forth below. Information collected via the Website is on an “opt-in” basis with your specific knowledge and consent.

In general, we use personal information for the purpose for which it was collected (such as to process your registration, to provide and improve the Service, to process your orders, for billing purposes, to help us ensure that all customers are genuine and to anticipate and resolve problems with our Website and Service); for our own internal business operations; to respond to customer support enquiries; and for other purposes, as described below.

Additionally, we will look at products or programmes that you buy, together with information about the way you have viewed our Website obtained by a ‘cookie’ (see below). We may use this information for market research and statistical analysis, to enable us to send you offers and information about the products and services of the Service Provider and those of carefully selected parties, to potentially send you money off vouchers and to help us to develop this Website to make your shopping easier in the future, including the personalising of the Website. The Service Provider does not collect any other personal information via the Website that you do not expressly supply.

Please note that there may be instances where it may be necessary for the Service Provider to communicate with you, in any event, for administrative or operational reasons relating to the Website and Service.
