If we are under a duty to disclose or share your Information to comply with any legal obligation or in order to enforce or apply our terms and conditions and other agreements or protect the rights, property, or safety of our customers, or others.

 

Transferring your Information

By using Foodim, you authorise us to transfer and store your information outside your home country, including in the United States, for the purposes described in this policy. The privacy protections and the rights of authorities to access your information in these countries may not be the same as in your home country.

 

The choices you have about your information

You can edit or update your profile information at any time from your profile screen in the Foodim mobile app.

You can choose to disable sharing from Foodim to Facebook or Twitter in Foodim's settings screen, under the "Social Sharing" menu. Please note - if you used Facebook to sign up to the Platform, then you will have to remove the Foodim app by going to your settings in Facebook, clicking the "Apps and Websites" tab and removing Foodim. Note that this will also stop you from being able to log in to the Platform.

You have the "right of access" to, and the "right to erasure" of your Information. This means you can request your Information be emailed to you, or close your account at any time by emailing data@foodim.com. We will email you the Information we have and/or delete your Information and posts from our servers as soon as possible, but within 30 days of your request.

You can object to, or ask us to stop processing your Information including when we use the Information to send you notifications or marketing emails by emailing data@foodim.com

You can have the Information you have given us sent to another organisation, where we hold this Information with your consent or for the performance of a contract with you and where it is technically feasible.

You can complain to a regulator. If you feel we have not complied with data protection laws, you have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office. You can do this by visiting the ICO concerns web page.

 

How and when we share your Information

When you sign up and post content to Foodim, anyone can see it. This includes the information you add to your posts (such as notes or recipes), your profile information and the comments you and other users make on those posts.

Other Foodim users can also share your content to outside networks (such as Facebook and Twitter). In addition, Foodim may share your content to these other platforms or share it with other Foodim users (for example, if your post is selected as a post of the week, or you are a competition winner, we may email our users and display these posts). Please bear in mind that your username will be displayed along with the shared content, and if you have used your real name as your username, this will be visible to everyone.

 

How long we keep your Information for

We keep your Information for as long as we need it to provide the Platform to you and fulfil the purposes described in this policy. When we no longer need to use your information and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we’ll either remove it from our servers or depersonalise it so that you cannot be identified.

 

Security

We have implemented security measures to protect your Information against unauthorised access and use. We follow appropriate security procedures in the storage and disclosure of your Information so as to prevent unauthorised access by third parties. We also require those parties to whom we transfer your Information to comply with the same. However, unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. So, we cannot ensure the security of your Information transmitted by you to us via the internet. Any such transmission is at your own risk and you acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible for any unauthorised use, distribution, damage or destruction of your Information, except to the extent we are required to accept such responsibility under the Act.

The Platform may contain links to other 3rd party websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such 3rd party sites. This Privacy Notice applies solely to the Information collected by us on this Platform.
