Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or interact with the website tasteofstates.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy must be read along with our Terms of Service.

Personal Information We Collect

When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect certain information about your device, including details about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that may be installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we may collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically collected information as “Device Information”.

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

“Cookies” are small data files that may be placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. To learn more about cookies and how to disable them, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org
“Log files” track actions occurring on the Site and may collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps
“Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site

At this stage, as Taste of States is currently a prototype and does not facilitate online purchases, we do not collect financial or order-related information. However, if in the future we enable online orders, we may collect additional details such as your name, billing address, shipping address, payment details, email address, and phone number for processing and delivering your order. We will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we mean both Device Information and, in the future, any Order Information we may collect once our e-commerce operations begin.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We use the information we collect to:

Improve and optimize our Site experience for visitors
Understand how users browse and interact with the Site
Communicate updates, offers, or new product launches when in line with your preferences
Ensure website security and prevent potential risk or fraud

Since we are not currently selling products, your information will not be used for order fulfillment or payment processing at this stage.

Sharing Your Personal Information

We may share your Personal Information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Site, such as analytics providers or hosting partners. For example, we may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website.
