Note that the third-party platforms may offer you choices about whether you see these types of customized ads.

Children

Our Services are intended for general audiences and are not directed at children. If we become aware that we have collected data without legally valid parental consent from children under an age where such consent is required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as possible.

When you click on a link to any other website or location, you will leave our site and go to another site. This Policy does not apply to such third-party sites or services, and we cannot take responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of third-party sites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites or services before providing any information to or through them. The links to third party websites or locations are for your convenience only and do not signify our endorsement of such third parties or their products, contents or websites.  

The Services may offer social sharing features and other integrated tools (such as the Facebook “Like” or “Share” button or the Twitter “Tweet” button) which let you share actions you take on our Services with other media. Your use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the entity that provides the social sharing feature. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the entities that provide these features.

Data Transfers

Pickytarian is based in the United States. If you are accessing the Services from outside the U.S., please be aware that your information will be processed in the U.S. as well as potentially be transferred to recipients in other countries, including but not limited to the United States and United Kingdom. Some of the counties to which data may be disclosed may be countries where data protection laws may be less stringent than the laws in your country. Where we transfer personal data from the European Union, United Kingdom or Switzerland to the United States, we do so in reliance on an approved data transfer mechanism, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission. By using our Services and providing any information, you are consenting to the transfer and processing of your information in accordance with this Policy.

Security

 The security of your personal data is important to us. While we maintain a variety of physical, technical and administrative security measures to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee that the Internet is 100% secure; any transmission is at your own risk. You are responsible for keeping your account password confidential. By using the Services or providing personal data to us, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of the Services. If we learn of a security breach impacting you, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on the Services or sending an email to you. 

Any payment transactions are handled by Stripe, Woocommerce Payments, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna or another payment provider and their 3rd parties, depending on your region. All direct payment gateways are required by law to adhere to the security standard set by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). For information on how Stripe handles your personal data, please visit: https://stripe.com/privacy.

Retention

We retain personal data for as long as is necessary for the processing purpose(s) for which the data was collected, and any other permissible, related purpose such as to conduct audits, enforce our agreements, comply with applicable laws, establish legal defenses, pursue legitimate business purposes and resolve disputes. When we no longer need to use your personal data, it is removed from our systems and records or anonymized so that you can no longer be identified from it in accordance with applicable law.

European Residents

If you are a European Resident, defined for the purposes of this Privacy Policy to include residents of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland, you have certain additional rights and protections under the law regarding the processing of your personal data. 

Legal Basis for Processing. If you are a European Resident, we process your personal data when:

• We need to use your personal data to perform our responsibilities under our contract with you (e.g., processing payments for and providing the products you have ordered).
• We have a legitimate interest in processing your personal data. For example, we may process your personal data for performing marketing activities, to conduct data analytics and to provide, secure, and improve our Services.
• We need to do so to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
• We need to do so to protect your vital interests or those of others.
• We have your consent to do so (e.g., promotional emails), which you may withdraw at any time.

Data Subject Requests. If you are a European Resident, you are entitled to (i) access personal data we hold about you, (ii) ask that your personal data be corrected, updated, or erased, (iii) object to, or request that we restrict, certain processing, (iv) transfer personal data about you to another entity where technically feasible or (v) withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data if we relied on consent as the legal basis for processing, in each case subject to certain exceptions. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, you may email [email protected]. To protect your privacy, we will take commercially reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making any changes to your personal data and will process your request in accordance with applicable law. If you have a Pickytarian account, you may also review, update, and delete certain personal data by logging into your account.

Third Party Advertising Partners. Some of our third-party advertising partners act either as joint controllers of your personal data along with Pickytarian or as independent data controllers, and thus will handle shared data under the terms of their own privacy policies. This means that we provide you with information in this Policy, but you should contact the relevant third party if you want to exercise your data protection rights relating to data that has been shared. Further information, including how the third party enables you to exercise your data protection rights, and subsequently processes your information, can be found in that third party’s privacy policy. Our third-party partners currently include: Facebook, Google, Pinterest, TikTok, Twitter,  and Bing. 

Questions or Complaints. You may contact us as described in the “Contact Us” section below. If you have a concern about how we process personal data that we are not able to resolve, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data privacy authority where you live. For contact details of your relevant local Data Protection Authority, please see here or, if you are a resident of Switzerland, see here.

California Privacy Rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act or “CCPA” (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.) and the Shine the Light law (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83) afford consumers residing in California certain rights with respect to their personal data. If you are a California resident, this section applies to you.

California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”)

In the preceding 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information (as defined in the CCPA) from and about you: identifiers; commercial information; demographic information (note that some demographic information may be considered characteristics of protected classifications under state or federal law); internet or electronic network activity; geolocation data; audio, electronic, visual, or similar information; inferences; and other categories of personal information that relates to or is reasonably capable of being associated with you. For examples of the precise data points we collect, please see “Information we Collect” above. We collect personal information for the business or commercial purposes described in the “How We Use Your Information” section above. In the preceding 12 months, we have disclosed the following categories of personal information for business or commercial purposes to the following categories of recipients: 

Sale of Personal Data. California law requires that we provide transparency about the personal information we “sell,” which for the purposes of the CCPA broadly means scenarios in which we have shared personal information with third parties in exchange for valuable consideration. Pickytarian does not sell your personal information to other companies for money; however, we do allow our advertising partners to collect certain information to show you ads that are targeted to your interests and share information with Data Providers (as described above), which may be considered a “sale” in California. In the preceding 12 months, we have allowed our advertising partners and Data Providers to collect identifiers, commercial information, and Internet or other electronic network activity information for targeted advertising and direct mail purposes. Please review the “How We Share Information” section for more details about the parties we have shared information with. You have the right to opt out of having your personal information used for targeted advertising at any time by clicking  the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link in the website footer or by emailing [email protected]. We do not knowingly sell personal information about consumers under the age of 16.

Your Rights. In addition to the right to opt out of sales explained above, subject to certain limitations, California consumers have the right to (1) request to know more about the specific pieces and categories of personal information we collect, use, sell and disclose, (2) request deletion of their personal information, and (3) not be discriminated against for exercising their rights. You may make a request to know more about or delete your personal information by submitting by emailing [email protected] or by contacting us via our contact form on the website.  After submitting a request, you will be required to verify your identity. Please note that we may retain certain information as required or permitted by applicable law. If you request to delete your personal information, certain of our products and services may no longer be available to you. 

If we receive your request from an authorized agent, we may ask for evidence that you have provided such agent with a power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf.

Notice of Financial Incentives. We offer various financial incentives. For example, we may provide discounts, special offers, free gifts or other benefits to customers who sign up to receive our marketing communications, join a customer rewards program, or enter a contest, sweepstakes or other similar promotional campaigns (collectively, the “Programs”). When you participate in a Program, we collect personal information from you, such as identifiers like your name and email address. You can opt into a Program by following the sign-up instructions, and you have the ability to opt-out at any time by contacting us. In some cases, we may provide additional terms and conditions for a financial incentive, which we will provide to you when you sign up. In offering the Programs, we consider the value of the free or discounted products or service or other benefits we offer as well as our expenses in offering the Program and ensure that the benefits we offer to consumers are reasonably related to the value of collecting consumers’ personal information to us, such as by being able to reach them with marketing communications or better understand their preferences.

Shine the Light. California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law permits residents of California to request certain details about how their personal information is shared with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes or to opt out of such sharing. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please contact us at [email protected]. Pickytarian may share personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes as described herein or as you may consent.

Updates to this Policy

We reserve the right to change this Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by posting an updated policy on our sites and will indicate when the Policy was last revised. 

If we make material changes to this Policy impacting you, we will provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our websites’ homepage or sending you a notification). Continuing use of our Services following notice of such changes will indicate your acknowledgement of, and agreement to, such changes. You should periodically review our current Policy to stay informed of our practices.
