Privacy Policy

We collect information about you in a variety of ways depending on how you interact with us. Some of the information we collect includes personal information that can be used to identify you. The following describes examples of the type of personal information that we collect and how we use that information.  We collect personal information when you voluntarily submit it to us.

We may also receive your personal information from other sources, including third parties, business partners, our affiliates, or publically available sources. For example, if someone purchases an e-gift card for you, we may receive your e-mail address and other information about you from that person. In addition, if you submit a job application, or become a Team Member, we may conduct a background check.

We also collect information from you using the following technologies:

Cookies. “Cookies” are small bits of information that the Karen Bevels Catering & Events website places on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies remember information about your activities on the site to make your visits to our website more enjoyable and valuable to you by providing a customized experience and recognizing your preferences when you visit our website. If you’ve chosen to disable cookies on your browser, some of the functionality of our website may be lost. Certain other web pages that Karen Bevels Catering & Events produces, particularly those that require a login and password, require that cookies be enabled in your browser and cannot be used when you have disabled cookies in your browser.

• Flash Cookies (also called Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”). Flash cookies are data files similar to cookies, except that they can store more complex data. Flash cookies are used to remember settings, preferences, and usage, particularly for video, interactive gaming, and other similar services.
• Web beacons or clear pixels. Web beacons are small graphic images on a web page or in an e-mail that can be used for such things as recording the pages and advertisements clicked on by users, or tracking the performance of e-mail marketing campaigns.
• Web server logs. Web server logs are records of activity created by the computer that delivers the webpages you request to your browser. For example, a web server log may record the search term you entered or the link you clicked to bring you the webpage. The Web server log also may record information about your browser, such as your IP address and the cookies set on your browser by the server.
• Geo-location technologies. Geo-location technology refers to technologies that permit us to determine your location. We may ask you to manually provide location information on our website, or to enable your mobile device to send us precise location information. We may also automatically collect general location information from your web browser.

We participate in behavioral-based advertising. This means that a third party may use technology (e.g., a cookie) to collect information about your use of our website so that they can provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interest. That advertising may appear either on our website, or on other websites.

USE

In addition to the purposes and uses described above, Karen Bevels Catering & Events uses information in the following ways:

• To provide you with our products, services, information, and advertisements that match your interests.
• To conduct research and analysis, and to improve our websites, products, or services.
• To send you promotional e-mails and/text messages about our products and services if we have received your consent to do so and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Although the sections above describe our primary purpose in collecting your information, in many situations we have more than one purpose. For example, if you complete an online purchase we may collect your information to perform our contract with you, but we also maintain your information after your transaction is complete so that we can quickly and easily respond to any questions you may have about your order.
