Young Chefs Academy.com may ask you to register and provide information that personally identifies you ('Personal Information") such as name, address, phone number, date of birth and email ID in certain circumstances, including for example, when you order products, submit information to a Guest Book or request Email newsletters. From time to time Young Chefs Academy also announces voluntary promotional programs.

This information is then shared, upon the explicit opt-in of the customer, with external third parties for the purpose of fulfilling the promotional components of the program. Customers who do not wish this information to be shared with third parties may decline to opt-in or decline participation in these optional programs. Any promotional program which includes the sharing of information with a third party will have such a disclosure clearly described in the program's description.
