Privacy policy

We define “PII” to mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

You are not legally required to provide us with PII, however, some of the services require you to do so pursuant to this privacy policy. In these cases, if you choose to withhold or delete any PII requested by us, it may not be possible for you to access certain services. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions set forth herein, please do not use the services.

We recognize that privacy is important. This Privacy Policy applies to all of the software, services, information, blog, app, email, social media, features, product, and content on the Website and mobile site made available, displayed, or offered by Company (“Services“) and covers how PII that the Company collects and receives, including in respect of any use of the Services, is treated. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us at: privacy@steakholderfoods.com.
