2. PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

“Personal Data” in this Notice refers to any information about an identifiable living individual but does not include information which cannot be linked to a specific person, such as Aggregated Data, as described below. Your Personal Data is therefore information about and linked to you.

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of your personal data, which may include:

(a) Identity Data such as first name, last name, title, marital status, date of birth and gender.

(b) Contact Data such as home address, billing address, email address and telephone numbers.

(c) Financial Data such as bank account and payment card details if you order goods from us.

(d) Transaction Data such as details of purchases you have made from us.

(e) Technical Data such as internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.

(f) Profile Data such as your website username and password, purchases or orders made by you and information about your interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses.

(g) Usage Data such as information about how you use our website, products and services.

(h) Marketing and Communications Data such as your preferences in relation to receiving marketing from us and third parties and for the ways we communicate with you.

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data.  Aggregated Data may be derived from your Personal Data but is not Personal Data because it does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to find out how many users access a specific website feature.

If we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Data and will process it as set out in this Notice.

We may collect some items of Sensitive Personal Data (which includes information about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data) but will only do so where we believe it is necessary in connection with issues relating to our products or for some other reason that we will advise to you when we request your consent to collect the data.

We also work with third-party advertisers and ad networks to support our Sites. Some of these advertisers and ad networks may use technology such as cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, log files, or local shared objects (such as Flash cookies) to collect information about you when you visit our Site or other websites, including your IP address, ISP, browser type, and whether you have Flash installed, as well as information about your activities on our Sites and on third-party sites. Some of these advertisers and ad networks also may combine this information with other data, such as demographic data received from third parties to assist in tailoring the advertisements displayed to you. These third-party advertisers and ad networks use the information described above to provide you relevant advertisements based on your online behavior, search activities on our Site and on other third-party sites, and demographic information, so that the advertising you see on our Site and other sites more closely reflect your interests and needs. For example, if you search for or browse a recipe or product on our Site, you may see an advertisement from a third-party with information about, or an offer similar to, that for which you were searching or browsing on our Site, or an offer related to a third party whose site you have visited in the past.

Loyalty Programs

We may collect your personal information when you choose to join our loyalty programs or promotional campaigns where we aim to enhance your engagement with us. By participating in these programs, we may gather certain information from you. This may include, but is not limited to, your name, contact details, images of receipts, purchase history, referral details, demographic information, preferences, and program activity information such as points earned, rewards redeemed, and engagement with program features. We collect this data through various means, including contests, competitions, receipt scanning, quizzes, gamified experiences, and surveys. The personal information collected through loyalty programs is used to understand our customers’ preferences and needs, to personalize the content we may send to you, to provide customized rewards and offers, to give exclusive access to digital content, products, or experiences to qualified members, to improve our product and services, and to facilitate communications. We may share the personal information collected through these programs with our service providers, as described in the Sharing Your Data With Third Parties section below. When you sign up for a loyalty program, we will provide you with information about our program partners and the benefits you can earn by participating in the program. If you submit a deletion request for your personal information, we may be unable to provide you with loyalty program benefits because we need your personal information to process your loyalty program membership and to provide you with the benefits associated with your membership.

Failure to Provide Personal Data Where Requested

Where we need to collect Personal Data by law and you do not provide that data when requested, we may not be able to provide you with the products or services for which that Personal Data is required. Similarly, where we need to collect Personal Data under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you do not provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we either have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel the contract you have with us.

4. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will only use your Personal Data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your Personal Data in the following circumstances:

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your Personal Data although we will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting the Data Privacy Team.

We may use your identity, contact, technical, usage, account, and profile data, including identity, contact and profile data we have received from data brokers or aggregators, to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what kinds of products and services may be of interest to you. Combining data from multiple sources in this way is commonly known as “enriching data” or “profile building”. This is how we decide which products, services and offers to include in marketing messages we send. This process may involve automated decision-making to determine which marketing messages will be most meaningful to you based on your interests, preferences, and location. There may also be other instances where we may use your personal information to render a decision based on automated processing of such personal information. If you would not like us to use data from data brokers and aggregators to enrich the data we have collected from you or if you would like to object to automated decision-making or if you would like to submit observations to a member of the personnel of our organization who is in a position to review the decision made by automated means, please contact the Data Privacy Team. We will not use Special Category Data or Sensitive Personal Data in building a profile about you unless you give us your consent to do so.

We may share your data with third parties, including other companies within Primal Nutrition and with third-party service providers who provide services to us as further explained below.

Where we provide Personal Data to contractors and suppliers who provide services to us, including assistance with the processing activities set out in this notice, we will enter into a data processing agreement (which complies with applicable law, including provisions required by GDPR) with those contractors and suppliers.

In order to fulfill our legal and other obligations and in connection with our rights including protection of our legitimate interest, we reserve the right to disclose Personal Data (or Special Category Data as appropriate) to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, government agencies and other third parties as required by law or for administrative purposes (for example, the Internal Revenue Service in the United States or HM Revenue and Customs in the UK) and to the extent that local law allows and/or requires this.

We share information that we collect from you, such as your email (in hashed form, where possible), IP address or information about your browser or operating system with our service providers, such as media agencies, to send you interest-based advertising on our behalf. We may also share aggregated or de-identified information about you with our advertising and marketing partners, and third-party media platforms, including social media sites, to allow them to send targeted advertising messages and/or conduct analyses on our behalf. If you wish to stop receiving advertising messages from these third parties, please review the “Your Choices” section below. In addition, you may be able to opt out of these ads by clicking on an icon in the ad or through the privacy settings in each social media platform.

We may conduct joint promotions with other companies. We may provide to our promotional partners (and their service providers) certain personal information as necessary to conduct the promotion. We will not share this information with our promotional partners for any other purpose unless you consent to such sharing.

During the normal course of our business, Primal Nutrition or its parent company may sell or purchase assets. If another entity acquires us or any of our assets, information we have collected about you may be transferred to such entity. In addition, if any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is brought by or against us, such information may be considered an asset of ours and may be sold or transferred to third parties. Should a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to require that the transferee use personal information provided through the Site in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice.

The laws of some jurisdictions outside your country of residence may not be as protective as Data Protection Laws in your country.  Primal Nutrition will ensure that, for such jurisdictions, appropriate measures are in place for compliance with Data Protection Law in relation to the processing of Personal Data in those jurisdictions.

We may offer you certain benefits through loyalty programs, coupons, discounts, and similar programs (each a “Program” and, collectively, “Programs”). If you participate in a Program, we may collect personal information from you, such as your name, email address, phone number, and other relevant information. As a result, the Program may constitute a “financial incentive” under California law and may be subject to additional terms and conditions which will be provided to you during the Program sign-up process. You can opt-in to participate in a Program by following the Program registration guidelines.  You have the right to withdraw from a Program at any point, subject to applicable law, the Program terms and conditions, and our Privacy Notice, by following the instructions provided. Typically, we do not put a monetary value on your personal information.  However, California law requires we provide a valuation of personal information collected in connection with a financial incentive. The value of the personal information you provide while participating in a Program is based upon our reasonable and good-faith estimation of the value of such information, which considers, without limitation, the value and purpose of the Program, associated expenses, the type and usage of the collected personal information, and the number of individuals who participated in the Program.

• The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.

Right to Correct: You have the right to correct inaccurate personal information maintained by us. Upon verifying the validity of the request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct your personal information as directed, taking into account the nature and purpose of maintaining your personal information.
