2.Your consent

By using a Preparados Alimenticios site, you are consenting to the Preparados Alimenticios company collecting, using and disclosing your personal information in accordance with this privacy statement. If you do not agree to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in this way, please do not use the Preparados Alimenticios sites or otherwise provide the relevant Preparados Alimenticios company with your personal information.

Preparados Alimenticios will only collect, use or disclose your personal information where it is fair and lawful to do so. To do so, we will ask for your consent explicitly. Additionally, we may ask you to provide additional consent if we need to use your personal information for purposes not covered by this privacy statement. You are not obliged to provide such consent but if you decide not to, then your participation in certain activities may be restricted. If you provide additional consent, the terms of that consent shall prevail in the event of any conflict with the terms of this privacy statement.

Please note, however, that we may process your personal information without consent if we have a legitimate reason to do so, provided that such use will not have a prejudicial effect on your own rights, freedoms and interests. Any such use shall be in accordance with the Preparados Alimenticios privacy principles set out above.

The majority of Preparados Alimenticios sites are designed and intended for use by adults. Where a Preparados Alimenticios site is intended for use by a younger audience, we will obtain consent from a parent or guardian before we collect personal information where we feel it is appropriate to do so or where it is required by applicable laws and regulations (the age at which consent is necessary varies from country to country). If you are a child over the age where parental consent is required in your country, you should review the terms of this privacy statement with your parent or guardian to make sure you understand and accept them.

If we discover that we have collected information from a child without consent from a parent or guardian where such consent should have been obtained, we will delete that information as soon as possible.

Access to certain parts of the Preparados Alimenticios sites and/or eligibility to receive prizes, samples or other rewards may be limited to users over a certain age. We may use your personal information to carry out age verification checks and enforce any such age restrictions.
