Privacy Policy
If you require any more information or have any questions about our privacy policy, please feel free to contact us by email at theflambe@gmail.com. At The Flambé, the privacy of our visitors is of extreme importance to us. This privacy policy document outlines the types of personal information that is received and collected by The Flambé and how it is used.
What information Is collected?
You are able to take advantage of many of The Flambé’s products, services, and websites without providing any information that personally identifies you. We only collect personally-identifying information when you voluntarily submit it to us. Sometimes, we need personally-identifying information in order to provide you with the products and services that you request. Depending upon the product or service, we may ask you for a variety of personally-identifying information. This might include, for example, your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, gender, and birth date. You may choose not to provide us with any personally-identifying information. In that case, you can still access and use many portions of our websites; however, you will not be able to access and use those portions of The Flambé website that require your personal information. The Flambé website includes community features, such as online job forums and message boards. Information that is posted in these areas becomes public information and the use that any third party makes of this information is beyond our ability to control. You should exercise caution before disclosing any personally-identifying information in these public venues. If you elect to submit content that includes information that can be used to identify you, you must assume that the content can and will be displayed on any website on the Internet. Through certain promotions, you can submit personally-identifying information about other people. For example, you might submit a person's name and e-mail address to send an electronic greeting card; or, if you order a gift online or offline and want it sent directly to the recipient, you might submit the recipient's name and address. The Flambé also provides referral services to help you inform a friend about our websites, products, or services. The types of personally-identifying information that we collect about other people on pages like these may include the person's name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number. We will only ask you for the information about your friend that we need in order to do what you request. In some circumstances, we also collect non-personally-identifying information. When you visit The Flambé, we may collect information such as the type of browser you use, your operating system, your IP address, and the domain name of your Internet Service Provider. This information, by itself, does not permit individual identification, meaning that you will remain anonymous. However, if you elect to provide us with personally-identifying information during your visit, that information may be linked to your IP address.
Compliance with this Privacy Policy
We take our Privacy Policy seriously and we regularly review our own compliance with this Policy. If you have any questions or concerns about this Policy, or if you think that we have used your personal information in a manner inconsistent with this Policy, please contact us at:
If we receive a complaint from you, we will contact you in an attempt to address your concerns. If we are not able to resolve a complaint, we will participate in the appropriate independent recourse mechanism as necessary.

How we protect the safety and integrity of the information we collect. The Flambé only collects personal information that is relevant to the purposes for which it will be used.

In some limited circumstances, such as to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, and enforce our policies, we may retain some of the information that you have requested us to remove. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personal information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests. We only use the information we collect for purposes consistent with this policy. If we propose to use your personal information for purposes beyond that explained in this policy, we will provide appropriate notice before doing so and we will provide you with the means to opt-out of those uses. We will not use your sensitive personal information for any purposes other than those described in this Policy unless we have obtained your consent.

This information is not shared with third parties and is used only within this Company on a need-to-know basis.
