Privacy Policy

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, NOLAlicious collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. NOLAlicious’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how NOLAlicious’s visitors use its website. From time to time, NOLAlicious may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

NOLAlicious also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. NOLAlicious does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to NOLAlicious’s websites choose to interact with NOLAlicious in ways that require NOLAlicious to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that NOLAlicious gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, visitors may choose to comment on an article and are asked to provide a name and email address. In each case, NOLAlicious collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with NOLAlicious. NOLAlicious does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below, and visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

NOLAlicious discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on NOLAlicious’s behalf or to provide services available at NOLAlicious’s websites, and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using NOLAlicious’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. NOLAlicious will not rent or sell personally-identifying and potentially personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, NOLAlicious discloses personally-identifying and potentially personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when NOLAlicious believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of NOLAlicious, third parties, or the public at large. If you have subscribed to an article on NOLAlicious or subscribed to the latest articles and have supplied your email address, NOLAlicious may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just to keep you up to date with what’s going on with NOLAlicious. If you send us a request, such as via the contact form on NOLAlicious, we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users, unless you explicitly ask for the email to not be disclosed publicly. NOLAlicious takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of personally-identifying and potentially personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. NOLAlicious uses cookies to help NOLAlicious identify and track visitors, their usage of the NOLAlicious website, and their website access preferences. NOLAlicious visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using NOLAlicious’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of NOLAlicious’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Although most changes are likely to be minor, NOLAlicious may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in NOLAlicious’s sole discretion. NOLAlicious encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
