Links to Other Sites.   The Services may contain links and widgets related to third-party websites and services, such as social networks (a “Third Party Service”), with which we have no affiliation. A link to or other availability of any Third Party Service does not mean that we endorse it or the quality or accuracy of information presented on it. If you decide to visit a Third Party Service, you are subject to the privacy policy and practices of the third party that operates the Third Party Service and not this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to carefully review the legal and privacy notices of all other digital services that you visit. 3. Information We Collect.  “Personal Information” generally means any information that can be used alone or in combination with other information to identify you as an individual, and any other information we associate with it. We collect categories of information, from different sources. We may collect the following Personal Information: a. Profile information and other content you voluntarily provide us, which may include: Contact information when you register on our Site or make a purchase, such as your name, street address, phone number, and/or email address; or when you provide your email address or other contact information to receive marketing communications from us about our products.

We use certain cookies, pixel tags and other technologies to help us understand how you use the Site and enable us to personalize your experience on the Sites. To learn more about our use of cookies, please see Section 4, Cookies and Other Information Collection Tools, below. We may ask advertisers or other third-party partners to serve ads or services to your devices, which rely on cookies or similar technologies placed on our Site. With your consent, we may detect the physical location of your device by, for example, general location information shared by your device’s IP address. We collect this information for purposes of providing you with information about promotions or new products that may be relevant to you. We may use your device’s IP address to better understand how our Site and other services and functionality are being used. Should you wish to opt out of the collection of this information, please adjust the settings of your device or web browser so that information about your physical location is not sent to us by (a) disabling location services within the device settings; or (b) denying certain websites or mobile applications permission to access location information by changing the relevant preferences and permissions in your mobile device or browser settings.

If we do so, this policy governs how we can use that information. d. In addition to collecting Personal Information, we may collect information that does not identify you and is not associated with your Personal Information. We may also de-identify or anonymize information so it no longer identifies you. We can aggregate and use such information (“Aggregated Data”) to engage in marketing and other activities in a manner that is privacy sensitive since it does not include Personal Information. Aggregated Data may be derived from Personal Information, but is not considered Personal Information under the law if it cannot be used alone or in combination with other information to directly or indirectly reveal a person’s identity.
4. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies. What are cookies? A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website or use an online service. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site or online service to recognize your browser. Cookies may store unique identifiers, user preferences and other information. Why do we use them? Cookies help us improve the Services by providing us with information about which parts of the Services are most popular, enabling us to analyze technical and navigational information about the Services, and helping us to detect and prevent fraud. We also use cookies and other data collection tools (such as web beacons and server logs) to help improve your experience with the Services. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us measure traffic and analyze how users use the Services (such as the pages most read, time spent, search terms and other engagement data), and to understand more about the demographics of our users and evaluate and improve the user experience and the Sites. These tools use cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information. To learn how to turn off cookies, please see Section 8, Choices with Your Personal Information and Opting Out, below. a. Important Notes About your Opt-Out: If you opt-out of interest-based advertising by a third party, these tracking technologies may still collect data for other purposes including analytics and you will still see ads from us across the Internet, but the ads may be less relevant to you and your interests. Interest-based advertising opt-outs work by saving cookies in your browser that tell the various ad partners that you have opted-out. Because cookies are generally browser-specific, your choice will only apply to the web browser from which you opt-out. You must opt-out from each web browser from which you do not want interest-based advertising (and this may involve different devices, if you use more than one). If you delete or clear your browser’s cookies, you will need to opt-out again. 5. How Information is Used. We may use the information we collect for purposes that include: to provide the Services to you, including processing transactions and sending related communications;  to operate, improve, and personalize the products and services we offer, and to give each user a more consistent and personalized experience when interacting with us; for customer service, security, to detect fraud or illegal activities and for archival and backup purposes in connection with the provision of the Services; for research and analysis purposes, such as determining trends in consumption of our products and determining where our products may be in demand; to communicate with users where permitted by applicable law; to permit you to participate in social sharing, including social media feeds; to fulfill your requests, such as those relating to ordering and payments; to comply with applicable law and legal process; purposes we disclose to you at the time we collect the information; and to enforce our Terms of Use or other applicable policies. 6.

This policy only applies to the personal information of Consumers (i.e., California residents).

Consumer Rights This section describes certain rights of Consumers under the CCPA. For information on how Consumers may contact Gooder Foods to exercise these rights, please see the section below entitled, “How to Submit a Request.” 

Right to Know A Consumer has the right to request that a business disclose what personal information it collects, uses, discloses or sells. Specifically, a Consumer may request that a business that collects personal information about the Consumer disclose to the Consumer the following:

  2. The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected.
  3. The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information.
  4. The categories of non-affiliated entities with whom the business shares personal information.
  5. The specific pieces of personal information it has collected about that Consumer.

A Consumer may request that a business that sells the Consumer’s personal information, or that discloses it for a business purpose, disclose to that Consumer:

  1. The categories of personal information that the business collected about the Consumer.
  2. The categories of personal information that the business sold about the Consumer and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold, by category or categories of personal information for each third party to whom the personal information was sold.
  3. The categories of personal information that the business disclosed about the Consumer for a business purpose.

Right to Request Deletion A Consumer has the right to request that a business delete any personal information about the Consumer which the business has collected from the Consumer.

Right to Opt-Out of Sale of Personal Information The collection of data through certain third-party cookies for Gooder Foods’ targeting advertising purposes is considered a “sale” under the CCPA.

To opt-out of having your information shared with third party digital advertising vendors for this purpose, please refer to the section “How to Submit a Request” below.

No Discrimination A Consumer has the right not to be discriminated against because the Consumer exercised any of the Consumer’s rights under the CCPA. Gooder Foods may charge a Consumer a different price or rate, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services to the Consumer, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to the Consumer by the Consumer’s data.

If we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request, we will not be able to comply with your request. We will inform you if we cannot verify your identity or authority.
