Matter of Taste provides your shipping information to UPS, USPS, and / or FedEx (for obvious reasons) and to vendors that function as third-party direct shippers for us. The information that Matter of Taste provides to senders only relates to the specific order that the senders will fulfill. We send the information to senders via secure email, secure http, or secure ftp. We securely transmit your credit card details to the relevant credit card company during order processing.

In the event Matter of Taste buys or sells a business unit, we may transfer customer information as business assets. That transferred information remains subject to this Privacy Policy.
