The short, simple, plain English version
So what does all this mean in plain English? If you've gotten this far, you probably just want to know if anyone at CalBQue is willing or able to collect the data you enter and use it an any way to anyone's benefit or detriment.
Simply put, CalBQue does not ask for, nor collect any user identifiable information with the data you provide. All websites log hits with raw, anonymous data. But we have no way of associating that data to any team or individual and we like it that way.
True - there are on-line BBQ supply stores that openly admit to mining purchase data from successful teams for their own shigging purposes. But CalBQue products collects no such personal data, isn't interested in such data, and has no use for such data.
So simply put, we do not collect ANY information that could be used for shigging what so ever.
