How We Handle Your Information

Information We Collect

When you join the Gourmiq family, we gather some essential information to enhance your experience. This includes your name, email address, shipping address, and payment details. We also collect data on your preferences and interests regarding spices. This helps us curate boxes that reflect your culinary adventures. We’re not about collecting data for the sake of it; we genuinely want to understand what makes your kitchen sing.

How We Use It

Your information is our secret ingredient for a personalized experience. We use it to process your orders, manage subscriptions, and communicate with you about your spice deliveries. Occasionally, we may share recipes or tips that align with your tastes. If you’ve opted in, we might send you newsletters or special promotions. Rest assured, every bit of data is carefully handled to ensure it serves you best.

Sharing & Disclosure

While we love connecting with our Gourmiq community, there are times when we need to share your information with trusted partners to make your experience seamless. This might include payment processors or shipping companies. We ensure that these partners respect your privacy and only use your information as needed to fulfill orders. Your trust is paramount, and we take every precaution to keep your data secure.
