10. Children's Privacy

Hangry Joe's Services are intended for use by individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or use personal information from children under the age of 13, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take prompt steps to delete such information from our systems. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will work to address your concerns as quickly as possible.

We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children's online activities and to help enforce this Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide personal information through our website or Services without parental permission.

11. International Data Transfers

Hangry Joe's is based in the United States, and your personal information is primarily collected, stored, and processed within the United States. However, some of our third-party service providers may operate in other countries, which means your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries outside of the United States.

If your personal information is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. These safeguards may include:

  • Entering into data transfer agreements with our service providers that include standard contractual clauses or equivalent data protection measures
  • Working only with service providers that maintain adequate privacy and security standards equivalent to those required under U.S. law
  • Reviewing the data protection practices of international service providers before entering into agreements with them

By using our Services, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your personal information to the United States and, in some cases, to other countries as described in this section.

12. Third-Party Links and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, and external services that are not owned or controlled by Hangry Joe's. These may include food delivery platforms, payment processors, social media integrations, and partner websites.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party websites or services. When you click on a link to a third-party site, their privacy policy — not ours — governs the collection and use of your personal information. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit before providing any personal information.

The inclusion of any third-party link on our website does not constitute an endorsement by Hangry Joe's of that website, its content, or its data practices.

Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked across websites. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.

However, you may use the cookie management and opt-out mechanisms described in Section 9 of this Privacy Policy to limit tracking on our website.
