Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about
the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information
while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For
instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password
more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they
may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some
areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to participate in any of our
Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that take place. Cookies can also enable us to
track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers).
However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit
sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and
off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as
credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is
protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page,
such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or
open, when you are just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users'
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our
offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example,
our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally
identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when
they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain
access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security
and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our
employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what
they can do to ensure our customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that
we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a
locked cage.
If you have any questions about the security at any of our websites, you can send an
email to security at easy_recipes_for_you@yahoo.com.
Supplementation of Information
In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our customers, it is
necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from 3rd party
sources.
For example, to determine if our customers qualify for one of our credit cards, we use
their name and social security number to request a credit report. Once we determine a
user's credit-worthiness, this document is destroyed.
(or)
In order for this website to enhance its ability to tailor the site to an individual's
preference, we combine information about the purchasing habits of users with similar
information from our affiliate partners, to create a personalized user profile. When a
user makes a purchase from our affiliate partners, these companies collect and share that
purchase information with us so we can tailor the site to our users' preferences.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established
members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a
newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not
receive these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are not able to
un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information about the
service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to
issues relating to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if a
user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update
or remove that user's personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the member
information page or by emailing our Customer Support. [Some sites may also provide
telephone or postal mail options for updating or correcting personal information].
