INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Carioca Kitchen collects two types of information from you: personally identifiable information (e.g., your name, e-mail address, billing address, telephone number, credit card information, etc.) and non-personally identifiable information (e.g., information that reasonably could not be linked to or associated with you or aggregated anonymous data).
Personally Identifiable Information

When you purchase a product from our website, we collect your name, e-mail address, shipping address, and billing address. While we also collect credit card information when you make a purchase, we do NOT store credit card information. We encourage you to review the privacy statement of websites abd third party payment apps you choose to link to so you can understand how those websites collect, use, and share your information. We are not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of our website.

We encourage you to review their privacy policies and terms of use before using their websites and services. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our website and welcome any feedback you may have with respect to these third-party websites.
