This information is used to maintain the security and operation of our website, analyze trends, and gather demographic information.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities on our website. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember your preferences and past actions.

You can control the use of cookies on our website through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may limit your ability to use certain features on our website.

HOW MAY VEGWORLD MAGAZINE SHARE MY INFORMATION?

We take very seriously our responsibility to maintain your privacy with respect to your information. Accordingly, we will only share that information under these circumstances:

With entities that provide services on our behalf, including website development, maintenance and support, payment processing, email distribution, and promotions management, only to the extent that these entities need the information to perform their services or as required by law, unless any additional use or sharing of the information is separately permitted under another provision of this Privacy Policy;

With identified entities whose products or services you specifically use or request to receive while you use the Site;

When we believe that doing so is required by law, may be necessary to protect any person’s property, rights, or safety, or to investigate a potential violation of law;

In the event of a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale;

In aggregated or other non-personally identifiable form; or

In accordance with your consent.

HOW DOES VEGWORLD MAGAZINE PROTECT MY INFORMATION?

We will take reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse, or alteration of your personal information.

However, you acknowledge that the transmission of information over the internet is inherently insecure, and no method of data transmission or storage can be guaranteed 100% secure.
