International Data Transfers

Meat Market is operated in the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer. We rely on standard contractual clauses and other lawful transfer mechanisms where required by applicable law.

Cookies

We use cookies for analytics. Our analytics provider may set its own cookies for anonymized usage tracking. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect some functionality.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no uniform standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, we do not respond to DNT signals. Our data collection practices are described in this Privacy Policy regardless of your DNT setting.

Data Retention

Search queries are stored anonymously (not linked to your identity) for product improvement and service quality purposes. Analytics data is retained per our analytics provider's default retention settings.

Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and environment-isolated API keys. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that compromises personal information, we will notify affected users and relevant regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable federal and state laws, including the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act. Notification will be provided as promptly as practicable and without unreasonable delay.
