II. GENERAL DISCLOSURES

The sites owned and/or operated by Schwan’s are hosted in the United States. If you are visiting the sites from outside of the United States, please note that by providing your information it is being transferred to, stored or processed in the United States and other countries where our data center and servers are located and operated. This section sets forth Schwan’s general privacy practices with respect to consumer information for the United States. By using the sites or engaging with the Offerings, you unambiguously consent to the transfer of your personal information and other information to the United States and elsewhere for the purposes and uses described in this Notice.

Depending on your state or country of residence, applicable privacy laws may provide you the ability to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information, as further outlined below. That said, if you are using the sites or Offerings from a country without jurisdiction over Schwan’s, you acknowledge that Schwan’s may not be subject to all international privacy laws, and, therefore, you may be unable to claim the privacy rights provided in the law of your local country. If you are outside the United States and do not wish to allow the transfer of your personal information to the United States, you should not use these sites or the Offerings.

We take your privacy and the protection of your personal information seriously. We will only store, process and disclose your personal information in accordance with applicable law. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it. We do our best to protect your privacy through the appropriate use of information security measures.

IV. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We may use information about you for a number of purposes, including:

1. PROVIDING, IMPROVING, AND DEVELOPING OUR OFFERINGS

• Providing you with the Offerings you choose to use;
• Allowing account or profile creation and maintenance to you on Offerings providing such capability;
• Processing or recording orders, payment transactions, or money transfers (for Offerings providing direct sales or other such capabilities);
• Maintaining and improving our Offerings (e.g. from your feedback and website usage);
• Developing new products and Offerings;
• Delivering the information and support you request, including digital receipts (for Offerings providing direct sales); and
• Improving, personalizing, and facilitating your use of our Offerings.

2. COMMUNICATING WITH YOU ABOUT OUR OFFERINGS

• Responding to your questions or concerns;
• Sending you information we think you may find useful or which you have requested from us about our Offerings and the industry we serve;
• Sending push notifications to your desktop or wireless device (based on appropriate consent) to provide updates on relevant Offerings, which can be managed through your computer or smartphone browser;
• Conducting surveys and collecting feedback about our Offerings; and
• Contacting you to resolve disputes and provide assistance with our Offerings.

3. PROTECTING OUR OFFERINGS AND MAINTAINING A TRUSTED ENVIRONMENT

• Enforcing our Terms of Use or other applicable agreements or policies;
• Verifying your identity;
• Complying with any applicable laws or regulations, or in response to lawful requests for information from the government or through legal processes;

4. ADVERTISING AND MARKETING

Please note that if we send you marketing emails, each email will contain instructions permitting you to unsubscribe from receiving future marketing or other communications.

5. OTHER USES

• For any other purpose disclosed to you in connection with our Offerings from time to time.

V. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not sell your personal information to third parties, and we also do not allow the third parties with whom we share your personal information to sell it, except in the limited circumstances where the term “sale” is uniquely defined under state law as described later in this Notice. For example, if you are a resident of Colorado or Connecticut, our use of cookies and tracking technologies constitutes a sale of personal information to third-party advertisers. Please note, Schwan’s does not sell, re-sell, distribute for re-sale, or share your personal information except where our use of website tracking technology equates to a “sale” of personal information. . 

We may disclose the personal information we collect or you provide as described in this Notice:

• To fulfill or meet the reason you provided the information;
• To our subsidiaries and affiliates, including where we may be operating and/or owning websites or Offering on behalf of our affiliates, and sharing information associated with those affiliate’s customers;
• For testing, research, analysis, and product development, including to develop and improve our Offerings, including the sites;
• To evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of the assets of Schwan’s Company or its subsidiaries, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by Schwan’s about site users is among the assets transferred. We will require any such purchaser, assignee, or other successor business entity to honor the terms of this Notice to the extent possible;
• To respond to law enforcement requests, to bring a legal action, and as required by applicable law, judicial proceedings, court order, or governmental regulations;
• With your consent;
• Aggregated, anonymized or de-identified information for any purpose. Aggregated, anonymized or de-identified information is information that can no longer reasonably identify a specific individual, and is not considered personal information in most jurisdictions. Although such information may be derived from your personal information, it can no longer directly or indirectly reveal your identity; and
• To third parties for a business purpose, including to Service Providers. When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.

In order to synthesize some of the information provided above, below is a table listing the general categories of consumer personal information that Schwan’s currently collects, the sources from which that information may be collected, the categories of third parties to which Schwan’s may disclose such personal information, and the business purpose for which the information may be disclosed to third parties. This table is intended to be read in conjunction with the information provided above.

We will not use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

VI. LINKING SITES

The sites contain links to other websites. Schwan’s is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites, including any websites that may indicate a special relationship or partnership with us (such as co-branded pages or “powered by” or “in cooperation with” relationships). We do not share information we gather with other websites or any other entities or individuals unless such sharing is disclosed to you in advance through this Notice. Other linked websites, however, may collect personal information from you that is not subject to our control. To ensure protection of your privacy, always review the privacy policy of the websites you may visit by linking from the sites (including by linking through social media features on the sites, such as through a Facebook “Like” button). Please note that this Notice applies only to our sites, and not to other companies’ or organizations’ websites to which we link.

On certain sites, we may use an unaffiliated payment service to enable you to purchase an Offering or make payments on a third-party payment service provider website (“Payment Service”). If you wish to purchase a product or make a payment using a Payment Service, you will be directed to a page operated by that Payment Service. Any information that you provide to a Payment Service will be subject to the applicable Payment Service’s privacy policy, rather than this Notice. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, any Payment Service’s use of information collected through any Payment Service.

VII. SOCIAL MEDIA

As noted above, one source through which we may collect information is from social media platforms (which may share information about how you interact with our social media content). We do not control how your personal information is collected, stored or used by such third-party websites or to whom it is disclosed. You should review the privacy policies and settings on any social media website that you subscribe to so that you understand the information they collect and may be sharing. If you do not want a social media website to share information about you, you must contact that website and determine whether it gives you the opportunity to opt-out of sharing such information. Schwan’s is not responsible for how these third-party websites may use information collected from or about you.

VIII. HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION

We generally retain your information as long as reasonably necessary to comply with our document retention policy and applicable law, applicable statute of limitations, or as we believe is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

IX. MARKETING AND PROMOTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS

You may unsubscribe from receiving marketing and promotional messages from Schwan’s, if those messages are powered by Schwan’s, by following the instructions in those messages. If you decide to unsubscribe, you will still receive non-promotional communications relevant to your use of our Offerings.

X. CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT (COPPA) COMPLIANCE AND RELATED INFORMATION

None of our sites are intended for children under 16 years of age. It is our policy to refrain from knowingly collecting or maintaining personal information relating to any person under the age of 16. If you are under the age of 16, please do not supply any personal information through the sites. If you are under the age of 16 and have already provided personal information through the sites, please have your parent or guardian contact us immediately using the information provided under CONTACT INFORMATION so that we can remove such information from our files. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us at CONTACT INFORMATION.

XI. SECURITY

We take reasonable measures, including administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, to protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. That said the security of personal data transmitted through the internet or via a mobile device can never be guaranteed. We are not responsible for any interception or interruption of any communications through the internet or for changes to or losses of data. We hold information about you both at our own premises and with the assistance of third-party service providers. Further public disclosure here of our security measures could aid those who might attempt to circumvent those security measures.

If you are utilizing a web-based login through any Offerings, you are responsible for maintaining the security of any password, user ID, or other form of authentication involved in obtaining access to password protected or secure areas of the Offerings. In order to protect you and your information, we may suspend your account and use of any of the Offerings, without notice, pending an investigation, if any breach of security is suspected.

XII. YOUR STATE PRIVACY RIGHTS AND ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES

1. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on the state in which you reside, you may have certain privacy rights regarding your personal information. Throughout this Notice you will find information required by such state laws regarding the categories of personal information collected from you, the purposes for which we use personal information, and the categories of third parties with which your data may be shared. This information is current as of the date of the Notice and is applicable in the 12 months preceding the last revised date of the Notice. If you are a California resident, please see our “NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS” section below. For other state residents, your privacy rights may include (if applicable):

• The right to confirm whether or not we are processing your personal information and to access such personal information;
• The right to obtain a copy of your personal information that we collected from and/or about you in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the information to another controller without hindrance, where the processing is carried out by automated means;
• The right to delete personal information that we collected from and/or about you, subject to certain exceptions;
• The right to correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you, subject to certain exceptions;
• The right, if applicable, to opt out of the processing of your personal information for purposes of (1) targeted advertising; (2) the “sale” of your personal information (as that term is defined by applicable law); and (3) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you;
• If we are required by applicable law to obtain your consent to process sensitive personal information, the right to withdraw your consent; and
• The right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of your privacy rights.

Requests you make regarding your personal information collected and retained may be subject to certain exceptions. For example, Schwan’s cannot delete your personal information if it is being used as a part of a current contract or transaction. Schwan’s will inform you of such exceptions in its response to your request.

Depending on how the applicable privacy law defines a “sale,” we may sell personal information to third parties. For instance, if you are a resident of Colorado or Connecticut, our use of cookies and tracking technologies constitutes a sale of personal information to third-party advertisers. Please note, Schwan’s does not sell, re-sell, distribute for re-sale, or share your personal information except where our use of website tracking technology equates to a “sale” of personal information.

We also use cookies and other tracking technologies to display advertisements about our products to you on nonaffiliated websites, applications, and online services. This is “targeted advertising” under applicable privacy laws. We do not use personal information for profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning individuals

2. MAKING A REQUEST AND VERIFICATION

If we receive a request from you, we will first make a determination regarding the applicability of your state’s law, and we will then take steps to verify your identity prior to responding. The steps to verify your identity may vary based on our relationship with you, but, at a minimum for your protection, Schwan’s is required to collect certain information from you to verify your identity before we respond to any request submitted by you. To verify any request or exercising of rights described here, you will be required to provide information to verify your identity (e.g., name, address, and e-mail address). Failure to do so could result in Schwan’s inability to comply with your request. The information you provide to verify your identity will only be used for verification purposes, and a record of your request, including certain information contained within it, will be maintained by Schwan’s for its files.

If you would like to exercise your privacy rights and make a request as described here, please use the information provided under CONTACT INFORMATION and contact Schwan’s. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may make requests regarding your data one to two times a year, free of charge. However, Schwan’s may charge a reasonable fee or deny a request that is considered manifestly unfounded or excessive. Schwan’s will respond to your request within 45 days. If for any reason your request is denied, Schwan’s will provide a “no action” explanation within the 45-day period. If your jurisdiction offers you a right to appeal such denial, you will be informed of your right to appeal that decision.

For residents of certain states, your rights as stated here can also be exercised by an authorized agent on your behalf. Where a state law, regulation, or regulator has described the process for establishing an authorized agent, Schwan’s will follow the standards set by that state law. For example, the Attorney General of California has set certain standards regarding designation of an authorized agent to exercise rights under California’s privacy legislation, which you may review to ensure you are submitting a compliant request. Schwan’s can deny any request made by an agent who does not submit proof that he or she has been authorized by a resident to act on that resident’s behalf.

3. NON-DISCRIMINATION FOR EXERCISING PRIVACY RIGHTS

Under the privacy law of certain states, residents of those states have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by Schwan’s or any business for the exercise of their privacy rights. However, the exercise of certain privacy rights by those residents may make it so that Schwan’s is no longer able to provide those residents with certain aspects of the Offerings. For example, if, at the request of a California resident, Schwan’s deletes all of the California resident’s personal information that it maintains, Schwan’s will no longer be able to send marketing communications to that resident unless that resident re-submits personal information to Schwan’s.

4. NO SALE OF INFORMATION

As previously stated, except as may be defined uniquely by state privacy laws, Schwan’s has not, in the last 12 months, sold your information, nor does Schwan’s have plans to sell your information in the future.

5. DO NOT TRACK

“Opt-Out Preference Signals,” “Global Privacy Control (GPC),” and “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) are browser settings and/or downloadable signals that allow users to notify websites of an individual’s privacy preferences. For example, DNT is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites you visit that you do not wish to be tracked. Such browser settings must be supported by the website you are visiting to be effective. Currently, there is no accepted standard for how a website should respond to these signal. As such,  Schwan’s is not currently able to support such browser codes, and Schwan’s will not automatically acknowledge and/or respond to your particular settings when you access the Offerings. However, you may make a request to opt-out of or limit any processing activities as described herein or through the links available on the Offering.

6. NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CCPA”), requires that we provide California residents with a privacy policy that contains a comprehensive description of our online and offline practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, sale, sharing, and retention of personal information and of the rights of California residents regarding their personal information. This section of the Privacy Notice is intended solely for, and is applicable only as to, California residents. If you are not a California resident, this section does not apply to you and you should not rely on it.

The CCPA defines “personal information” to mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. Personal information does not include publicly available, deidentified or aggregated information or lawfully obtained, truthful information that is a matter of public concern. For purposes of this “Notice to California Residents” section we will continue refer to this information as “personal information,” as previously defined.

We currently collect and, in the 12 months prior to the effective date of this Privacy Notice, have collected the categories of personal information described above in this Notice. We collect personal information directly from California residents and, in the case of website users, from advertising networks and internet service providers. We do not collect all categories of personal information from each source.

Disclosure, Sale, and Sharing of Personal Information

The table in Section V. “Disclosures of Your Personal Information” identifies the categories of personal information that we disclosed for a business purpose in the 12 months preceding the last update of this Privacy Notice. For each category of personal information we also distinguish the categories of recipients to whom we disclosed said personal information as well as the business purpose for which such personal information was disclosed to the particular third parties.

The CCPA defines “sale” as the transfer of personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration. Although we do not “sell” personal information as that term may be commonly interpreted, we engage in online activities that may constitute a sale or a share of personal information under California law. This may include showing you advertisements on other websites.

The following table identifies the categories of Personal Information that we sold or shared to third parties in the 12 months preceding the last update of this Privacy Notice and, for each category, the category of third parties to whom we sold or shared Personal Information. For more detailed information about this type of sharing please review our Cookie Notice for details about the specific entities that we may share your data with.

We shared Personal Information to third parties for the following business or commercial purposes:

• To better understand how you use our websites across the various devices you use, and to deliver tailored promotions to our guests.
• To track page content and viewing information, pages viewed, keystroke activity, time spent on pages, scroll activity, click/touch information, and mouse movements.
• To better understand your specific preferences and track your activity across our web-based offerings and advertisements.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collect it, such as to provide you with the service you have requested, and for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting, contractual, or reporting requirements that apply to us.

Your Rights

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights with respect to your personal information:

• The right to know what personal information we have collected about you, including the categories of personal information, the categories of sources from which we collected personal information, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling or sharing personal information (if applicable), the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information (if applicable), and the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you;
• The right to delete personal information that we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions;
• The right to correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you;
• If we sell or share personal information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing;
• If we use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those allowed by the CCPA and its regulations, the right to limit our use or disclosure; and
• The right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of privacy rights the CCPA confers. 

How to Submit a Request to Know, Delete, and/or Correct and Our Process for Verifying a Request

You can exercise the above-mentioned rights by contacting us via the below contact information.  If you submit a request to delete online, you may be asked to confirm separately that you want your personal information deleted.

If you are submitting a request on behalf of a California resident, please submit the request through one of the designated methods discussed above. After submitting the request, and if the request is not subject to an exemption or exception, we will require additional information to verify your authority to act on behalf of the California resident.

If we determine that your request is subject to an exemption or exception, we will notify you of our determination. If we determine that your request is not subject to an exemption or exception, we will comply with your request upon verification of your identity as described above.

Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

If you are a California resident, you have the right to direct us to stop selling or sharing your personal information. You may submit a request to opt out of sales or sharing via the cookie opt-out mechanisms on our websites, the degree to which such sharing is performed via cookies and similar technologies managed by that cookie opt-out process.

Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information

California residents have the right to limit our use or disclosure of sensitive personal information if we use it for purposes other than those allowed by the CCPA and its regulations. Though Schwan’s does not typically process sensitive personal information, if you feel we may have such information, you may submit a request to limit our use of your sensitive personal information by contacting us through the contact information below.

Notice of Financial Incentive

From time to time, you may have the opportunity to provide personal information in exchange for discounts and price differences. For example, we may provide discounts and price differences in exchange for you subscribing to a mailing list.

Signing up for discounts and price differences is optional. By providing your personal information during the discount sign-up process, you affirmatively opt in to receiving the financial incentive and to have your personal information processed as described. You have the right to withdraw from the financial incentive at any time. If you opt out of receiving a financial incentive, we will not reduce the value of any financial incentives you previously received from us. If you wish to withdraw from receiving the financial incentive, you may submit such a request to privacyrequest@schwans.com. privacyrequest@schwans.com.

Erasure Law

If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and a registered user of the Offerings, California Business & Professions Code § 22581 permits you to request and obtain removal of content or information posted on the Offerings by you. If you wish to make a request, please contact us at privacyrequest@schwans.com. Please be aware that removal does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Offerings by you and there may be legal reasons for denying your request.
