Amy’s Kitchen, Inc. ("Amy's") values your privacy. We've worked hard to build your trust, and we're committed to keeping it that way. This Privacy and Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains how Amy’s will use any information we may collect from you when you visit Amys.com ("the Website"). This Policy applies only to information collected by our website and not to outside websites that you might visit by following links from our pages. We encourage you to review each third-party website's privacy policies before disclosing any information to that site.

Amy’s collects information from you on its websites in two ways: 1) Personal Information provided by you on the websites, and 2) through the use of computer cookies and other tracking technologies.  For purposes of this Policy, “Personal Information” means any information about an identifiable individual (“data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
