We want you to know how we collect, use and protect information about our online customers.
Our Commitment to Data Security
We have appropriate physical, electronic and procedural security safeguards to protect and secure the information we collect.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Our Web site uses 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to protect your personal credit information, including your credit card number, before it travels over the Internet. SSL technology is the industry standard for secure online transactions.
When you proceed to our online checkout, either a solid key or a locked padlock icon will appear in the lower right of your browser window. This icon insures that your transaction session is secured through SSL.
In addition to the most up-to-date
SSL technology, Zest Gourmet does not record or
store any of your credit card information. This
way your credit information can never be compromised.
Our Use of Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser. Cookies allow us to provide features such as storage of items in your shopping bag between visits.
The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will
tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies,
how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie
or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you
to take full advantage of some of our web site's best features,
so we recommend that you leave them turned on.
Our Privacy Policy
Zest Gourmet respects your right to privacy. We value our customer's
trust. To insure your privacy, we only use customer information
for order identification, customer service contact, or demographic
analysis. We may need to contact customers by phone, postal mail,
or email if questions arise regarding their order. Demographic analysis
is done by zestgourmet.com only, and information is not shared with
anyone not affiliated with Zest Gourmet.
We do not send unsolicited or "spam" e-mail. Zest Gourmet uses e-mail addresses to communicate order information, new product availability, special offers, featured recipes, and newsletters.
We do not sell, rent, or loan any personal information about our customers to any third party. All information provided to us is kept in strict confidence.
