Last Revised October 21, 2019

Last Revised October 21, 2019

Meals by Mom is committed to protecting your privacy and we know how hard it can be to read the “fine print” lawyers love to come up with, so we’ve put this in plain English to help you out. Sorry its so long, but there’s a lot to cover.

In a nutshell, we collect some information. Some of it identifies you, some doesn’t. We do it to offer you the best service we can.

We do our best to make sure it’s accurate and safe and we’ll fix it or delete it if you ask us to. We only share it when we have to, otherwise, it’s a secret.

Now for the long version:

For Starters

We’re providing this Policy to explain how we collect, receive, use, store, share and disclose your data through our Service.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any Third-Party Services (see below), even if they are accessible through our Service. Also, unless we define a term in this Privacy Policy, all terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as those in our Terms of Service, so make sure that you have read and understood our Terms of Service too.
