Links
This
Website may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that we are
not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites, as this
privacy policy applies solely to the Website. We encourage our users to
remain vigilant when they leave our Website and to read the privacy
statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable
information.
Security
This
Website takes numerous precautions to protect our users' information. When
users submit sensitive information via the Website (e.g. [credit card
information]), such information is protected both on- and offline.
In addition, all of our users' sensitive information is restricted in our
offices. While Dineplaces.com employs commercially reasonable security
measures to protect our data and seeks to partner with companies which do
the same, we cannot absolutely guarantee the security of any data
transmission over the Internet or any wireless network. Unfortunately, no
data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure, and we therefore are not responsible for any
breach of security or for any actions of any third parties that may
receive any such information.
