We may collect, use, disclose, and transfer non-personal information for any purpose.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.

It is our policy to post any changes we make to our Privacy Policy on this page. The date the Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for periodically visiting our Site and this Privacy Policy to check for any changes.

Transfer of Information

Given the global nature of our society, FiveDinners conducts business globally, which may result in the transfer of your information internationally. Therefore, by using FiveDinners you acknowledge and agree to the transfer of your information outside of your country of residence to any country where we have facilities or Service Providers. You understand that countries that we may transfer information to may not have as comprehensive a level of data protection as your country, although your personal information will continue to be protected in accordance with the standards described in this Privacy Policy.
