We may collect information about your computer, including where available your internet protocol (IP) address, operating system and browser type, for system administration. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

COOKIES

Our site uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our site. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our site and also allows us to improve our site. A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. 

 We use the following cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: these are cookies that are required for the operation of our site. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to use a shopping cart as part of placing an order with us.

Data Security

When you place an order and make payment on our site your card information is passed directly to the banking network via a secure payment gateway. Livefoods Direct Limited does not hold or have access to any card information. The connection between your computer and the payment gateway is encrypted. Website pages are protected using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption and always begin with “https” rather than “http”. You will see this in the address bar near the top of the screen. We will never ask you for any credit card information by e-mail.  However, please bear in mind that the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% Secure.  Although we do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site, any transmission is at your own risk.  Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. 

 Passwords 

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password as part of registering to use our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.  We won’t ask for your password information over the phone; we’ll advise you on how to reset it

We may disclose your personal information to third parties:

We use other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include, delivering packages, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
