Our web server may automatically attempt to identify a user to the website through a cookie placed within the user’s web browser. A “cookie” is a piece of data stored on your computer or mobile device tied to information about you. It serves as a message given to a web browser by a web server. The browser stores the message in a text file; the message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. From time to time we may also track information on pages and features that users access or view. The activity is collected and may be stored in our constituent relationship management system and/or our email service provider. You may choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent, but doing so may cause you to lose functionality with some parts of our website.

European economic area users – your data protection rights under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation, effective May 25, 2018, requires that certain information and certain rights be provided to residents of the European Union, as follows.
Four Kitchens has its headquarters in the United States. Information we collect from you will be processed in the United States. The United States has not sought nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union under Article 45 of the GDPR. Four Kitchens relies on derogations for specific situations as set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR. Four Kitchens endeavors to protect the privacy and security of your personal information and to use it only consistent with your relationship with Four Kitchens and the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
How to exercise your rights
If you reside in the European Economic Area, you have certain rights to the personal information that we have collected about you. To exercise your rights to your personal information, please contact us at shout@fourkitchens.com. We will respond to reasonable requests as soon as practicable. You have the following rights:
(a) Right Of Access To Your Personal Information: You have the right to ask us for confirmation on whether we are processing your personal information, and access to the personal information and related information on that processing (for example, the purposes of the processing, or the categories of personal information involved).
(b) Right to Correction: You have the right to have your personal information corrected.
(c) Right to Erasure: You have the right to ask us to delete your personal information. This right may be exercised, among other times: when your personal information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed; when you withdraw consent on which processing is based and where there is no other legal ground for processing; when you object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing; or when your personal information has been unlawfully processed.
(d) Right To Restriction Of Processing: You have the right to request the limiting of our processing under limited circumstances, including: when the accuracy of your personal information is contested; when the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal information and request the restriction of the use of your personal information instead; or when you have objected to processing pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of Four Kitchens override your grounds.
(e) Right To Data Portability: You have the right to receive the personal information that you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transmit that information to another controller, including to have it transmitted directly, where technically feasible.
(f) Right to Object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal information, as permitted by law. This right is limited to processing based on GDPR Art. 6(1)(e) or (f), and includes profiling based on those provisions, and processing for direct marketing purposes, after which we will no longer process your personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
(g) Right to lodge a complaint before the data protection authority. We encourage you to contact us directly and allow us to work with you to address your concerns. Nevertheless, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal information relating to you infringes applicable data protection laws.
Security
The security of Four Kitchens’ website and your information is of great importance to us. Four Kitchens has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of your information under Four Kitchens’ control, but we make no assurances about our ability to prevent any such loss, misuse or alteration, and we shall have no liability to you or any third party from any loss, misuse or alteration. We do not warrant that your access to our website is completely secure.
Four Kitchens shall notify any user whose information is suspected of being accessed, disclosed, altered or deleted by an unauthorized person so that the user can take appropriate measures to minimize the adverse effect of such a data security breach (a “Breach Notification”). Four Kitchens will make such Breach Notification soon after it learns of a breach, unless it deems, at its sole discretion, that such Notification might hinder and prevent ongoing efforts to detect the source of the breach. For the avoidance of doubt, a Breach Notification does NOT constitute an admission by Four Kitchens that the breach occurred as a result of any conduct by Four Kitchens or its personnel, including but not limited to malpractice, failure, bad faith or negligence, or that the breach occurred in Four Kitchens’ systems.
Violation of security rules may result in criminal or civil liability and prosecution. Four Kitchens will refer to the proper authorities any occurrence that may constitute any such violation, and cooperates fully with law enforcement agencies in ensuring the prosecution of violators. This list of security violations is by way of example only and is by no means intended to be exhaustive: gaining access to data without proper authorization; logging onto a server, account, area of the site without proper authorization; scanning, probing or testing for vulnerability of the site’s system or attempting to do so, and attempting to breach the security of the site, without proper authorization; attempting to interfere with the functionality or features of the site or its systems by introducing viruses, overloading, flooding, mail-bombing, or crashing; and sending unsolicited promotional e-mail messages.
Children’s privacy
Four Kitchens does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to use our website and other communications. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information.
Governing law and jurisdiction
This Privacy Policy shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Any dispute arising under or in relation to this Policy shall be resolved exclusively in the State of New York in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth herein.
