you understand how The Epicurus Group collects, uses and safeguards
the personal information you provide to us on our websites.

The Epicurus Group does
not use a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for confidential communications between our site Users

designated official. In such communications, we shall not collect credit card or other

Information
Collection
When you browse
any The Epicurus Group website, you do so anonymously. Personal
information -- including your E-mail address -- is not collected.
We may, however, request that you voluntarily supply us with
personal information, including your E-mail address, for purposes such
as correspondence, site or function registration, making a purchase, or participating
in online surveys.
Like many other
commercial websites, The Epicurus Group websites may utilize
a standard technology called a "cookie" to collect information
about how our site is used. Please read About

Information
Use
If you provide us
with your E-mail address, or have done so in the past, we may upon occasion
send you E-mail offers. We may use information you have given us to,
for example, provide a service, measure consumer interest in our various
services, or inform you about products and services. These offers may
be based on information you provided in your initial transaction with
us, from surveys that may indicate purchasing preferences and lifestyle,
as well as information available from external sources, such as census
bureau data. We may also, upon occasion, share E-mail addresses with
certain other well-established companies so that they can send you product
and service offers that may be of interest.
All offers are carefully
developed to ensure that they meet our standards. Our goal is to target
offers to people who we believe will find them of value. The lists used
to send you product and service offers are developed and managed under
strict conditions designed to safeguard the security and privacy of
customer personal information.
Declining
E-mail Offers
The
Epicurus Group provides customers with an easy means to decline receiving
E-mail offers.
Although most customers
tell us they appreciate receiving notice of these carefully designed
opportunities, we recognize the importance of providing you with choices.
At any time, you may request to discontinue receiving these offers by
simply replying to the E-mail and informing us of your preferences or by clicking on the removal link at the bottom of each E-mail.
All E-mail offers that you receive from The Epicurus Group
will inform you of how to decline receiving further E-mail offers.

The
Epicurus Group does not knowingly solicit data from children, and we do
not knowingly market to children. Children should
not use the sections of this site which provide
recipes for alcholic beverages. Such recipes are
not restricted and parents are responsible for the
actions of their children.

Please be aware
that other Internet sites to which a User hyperlinks from the site may
contain privacy provisions that differ from the provisions provided
herein. The Epicurus Group is not responsible for
such provisions and expressly disclaims any and all liability related
