Any Changes in the Privacy Policy
In the event if AllFoodTravelGuide.com's policy on

Use of Information
AllFoodTravelGuide.com uses any information
voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to
provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content
based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users
voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to
participate in poll, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers
on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special
editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are
doing. AllFoodTravelGuide.com never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third party,
including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine
which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not
track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us
to continue to build a better service to you. We track search terms entered in Search
function as one of the many measures of what interests our users. But we don't track which
terms a particular user enters.
AllFoodTravelGuide.com creates aggregate reports
on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows
our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows our users to receive
advertisements that are pertinent to their needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of
individual users, an advertiser or sponsors will never know that a specific user clicked their ads.
We will not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply with
applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
Sharing of the Information
AllFoodTravelGuide.com uses the above-described
information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help our advertisers better understand
our audience's demographics. This is essential to keeping our service free. We will not
share information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with
applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the
public.
Opt-Out Policy
We give users options whenever necessary and
practical. Such choices include: Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters
and Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the
need to gather any personally identifiable information from our users.

collection and use of this information by AllFoodTravelGuide.com. If we decide to change our
privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
