Privacy Policy at FastFoodCalories.com.
Your privacy is without any doubt the most important thing to us. That’s why, here at Fast Food Calories, we have important and fundamental principles we abide by. We also follow a strict code of ethics that’s passed onto every new staff member that joins our team:
- The first and perhaps most important principle is that we will never ask for your personal information, unless it’s absolutely necessary or required by the law. (We totally despise companies, services, and webistes that ask you for your personal information such as where you live or phone number for no reason at all, so rest assured we won’t do anything like that in here.)
- We will never share your personal information with anyone unless it’s necessary to comply with requirements of the law, or if we need to use it in order to protect the rights of this website, our company, and even our own individual rights. Here at Fast Food Calories we only provide free information accessible to everyone that has access to the internet and a web browser. We don’t even create, develop or sell products, so you can relax knowing that will never share your personal information with anyone.
- Also, we don’t store personal information on our servers unless it is necessary for the operation of this website.
Fast Food Calories was created and it is currently operated by a major media company that develops successful websites mostly in the Food industry. It is our company’s policy to respect the privacy of our users and random visitors regarding any information we may collect while operating this website.
