We do use flash cookies on our Site. Flash cookies are small pieces of information stored and accessed by Adobe Flash. If you want to disable these flash cookies, you’ll need to open up the Adobe Settings Manager, accessible either by right-clicking flash content and clicking “Global Settings,” or by navigating directly to your storage settings through the Flash Website.

We also use Facebook Pixel which is Facebook’s version of a cookie that tracks users online behavior on our Site. However, online behavior is only tracked through Facebook Pixel if users have opted in through their browser and/or device. You should be aware that getting a new device, installing a new browser, upgrading an existing browser, or erasing or otherwise altering your browser’s cookies files may also clear certain opt-out cookies, plug-ins, or settings.

We may also partner with selected third-party vendors, such as (e.g. Google Analytics, DataQ, and Google Data Studio) to allow tracking technologies and remarketing services on our Site through the use of first party cookies and third-party cookies, to, among other things, analyze and track users’ use of the Site, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand online activity. These third-party service providers may use cookies or pixels to collect standard internet log information and user behavior information. The information generated by the cookie or pixel about your use of our Site (including your IP address and geo-location) is transmitted to these service providers. This information is then used by the service providers to evaluate our users’ use of our Site and to compile statistical reports on Site activity for us. By accessing the Site, you consent to the collection and use of your information by these third-party vendors. You are encouraged to review their privacy policy and contact them directly for responses to your questions. We do not transfer personal information to these third-party vendors.

Use of Your Information

The information that we collect and store relating to you is primarily used to enable us to provide our products to you in the best possible manner.  In addition, we may use the information for the following purposes:

1. To provide you with information relating to our products;

2. To fulfil or meet the reason you provided the information;

3. To provide third parties with statistical information about the users of our Site;

4. To monitor and conduct an analysis of our Site traffic and usage patterns;

5. To administer reward and/or loyalty programs and promotions;

6. To respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order or governmental regulations;

7. To evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by us about our Site users is among the assets transferred.

We will not use personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you with notice and/or updating this Privacy Policy.

Security

To secure your information, we have put in place commercially suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect on our Site.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Site like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Site.

Nonetheless, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and therefore we cannot guarantee the security of data sent to us electronically on our Site, and transmission of such data is therefore entirely at your own risk.

Disclosing Your Information  

Where applicable, we may disclose your personal information to any affiliated business entities or third parties necessary to provide products and/or services to you.  This includes, where applicable, our subsidiaries, our holding company and its other subsidiaries (if any), as well as third parties involved in the administration and operation of our products and/or services. We may also disclose your personal information to other third parties, such as:

1. Where we sell any or all of our business and/or our assets to a third party, whether through bankruptcy proceedings or other sale or merger.
2. Where we are legally required to disclose your information, including, but not limited to, pursuant to a valid subpoena, order, search warrant or other law enforcement request.
3. To administer reward and/or loyalty programs and promotions. 
4. When we are contractually obligated to disclose it.

Where we disclose personal information for a purpose set forth herein, we enter a contract with the third party that describes the purpose and requires the third-party recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS:

If you reside in California and have provided personally identifiable information to us, you may request information about our disclosure of certain categories of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes under California’s Shine the Light law.  Such requests must be submitted to us at one of the following addresses: Clio Snacks Company, 14 Ethel Road W, Piscataway, NJ 08854 or call (908) 505-2546 or clicking HERE. 

If you are a resident of California, effective January 1, 2020, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”):

1. to know what categories of personal information about you we have collected and used, including how the personal information was collected;
2. to know what categories of personal information are being sold or disclosed, if any, and if it is being sold or disclosed to third parties and a list of categories of information that are sold, as applicable;
3. to opt out of the sale of your personal information (click here for more information on “Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-in Rights”;
4. to access your personal information, including the right to download or transfer personal information collected during the previous 12 months (click here for more information on “Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights); 
5. to request that your personal information be deleted (click here for more information on “Deletion Request Rights”; and
6. to equal service and equal price for goods or services even if you exercise your rights under the CCPA.

While California residents have the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information under CCPA, we do not sell personal information to any third parties, and therefore, we have not included a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link on our Site. If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and take any other necessary action to comply with applicable law.

If you are a California resident and you want to exercise any of your rights as set forth above, please contact us at (908)505-2546 or info@cliosnacks.com. For all requests, it is helpful to put the statement “California Privacy Rights” in the body of your request, describe the nature of your request, and provide your name, street address, city, state, and zip code. In your request, you need to attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for our response. For more information click here 

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services.

• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.

• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.

• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information's value and contain written terms that describe the program's material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time. We currently provide the following financial incentives: our Clio Cravings Club ambassador program (administered by Vesta). For more information on this ambassador program, click here. Please review the “Terms Applicable to Members of the Clio Cravings Club/Clio Society” section of our Terms of Use and Conditions for more details on the program.

Note that if you decide to delete your personal information, you may lose out on coupons and other targeted incentives that may save you money, such as our rewards and/or loyalty program. In order to keep these incentives, we must have access to your personal information. You can opt-in to these incentives by joining any applicable programs; however, if you request to have your personal information deleted via the methods listed above, you will no longer have access to these incentives. 

If you exercise your rights under the CCPA, we will not discriminate against you.
