Plain-English summary

HelloFresh's Privacy Policy indicates that your personal information may be transferred to countries with less protective privacy laws, and they do not respond to "Do Not Track" signals. Your ability to use the service may be limited if you don't provide all requested information. Additionally, information you post publicly can be cached and stored by others, making it difficult to remove. Your personal information may also be combined with data from joint marketing partners.
