Should you elect to enter this information, rest easy knowing it is confidential and you are implicitly protected by our privacy policy. (top)

Not at all. Your participation in rating meal plans is completely voluntary. We do however ask and encourage our customers to tell us what they think as we strive to maintain a high standard of recipes and meal ideas within our database. The other reason to tell us what you personally think of a particular meal is so we can know whether you would like to have it repeat in a future meal plan. (top)
What happens if I purchase meal plan credits but don't use them right away?
You can pre-purchase up to 20 meal plan credits and apply them to accepted meal plans at your discretion. If, over a period of time, you have not accepted any meal plans, your credits will still be valid. We reserve the right to alter this policy. (top)
Does wovenfare™ sell my personal information?
No; absolutely not. We respect the privacy of our customers and do not provide personal information to any third parties unless you have explicitly given us permission to do so.
