Social Network Sharing Tools. We collect your personal information when you use one of the social network sharing tools available on our Service, the social network operating the tool may collect information about you based on such use.
Our social media platforms or online tools, including but not limited to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube, (collectively, the "social media channels") are social media locations for users to connect to and learn about us through information, pictures, and videos. Our goal is to provide quality and up-to-date material about our company which we believe is useful and interesting and to our users.

Third Parties. We may receive personal information about you from various third parties (e.g., data brokers, marketing vendors) (including from your interactions with us and our pages on social media platforms and from third parties with whom we have business relationships) to help us provide and/or improve our services as well as for marketing purposes.
Like any business, it's important for us to know our customers - their needs, their likes, what they want and expect from us. Unlike most businesses, however, we deliver a valuable product to our customers without asking for anything in return. Since we make most of this Service available without charge to you, we rely heavily on advertisers to produce the income necessary to operate our Service. Advertisers are like most people: they expect something in return for the money they spend. They want to know how many people will see their ad and how often our users are looking at their ads on our Service - in other words, how effective their ad is likely to be. So, it's important that we be able to tell advertisers who our audience is. Except as expressly set forth in this privacy policy, we will not provide, sell or rent to any third party any personal information that we collect from you through your use of this Service.
We collect your personal information for the following business and/or commercial purposes:
We may disclose your personal information to the following parties:
Advertisers. Without your permission, we will not share the personal information you provide when registering on our Service with advertisers. We may, however, take the information you provide and aggregate it with data from all the other people that use this Service and associated services. Then we will use that pool of information to inform our advertisers about our audience without identifying you personally.
Service Providers. We may retain other companies and individuals ("Service Providers") to perform functions on our behalf consistent with this privacy statement. Examples include, but are not limited to, data analysis firms, customer support specialists, email vendors, and web hosting companies. Service Providers may be provided with access to personal information needed to perform their functions but may not use such information other than on our behalf and in accordance with this privacy statement.
In addition, in some instances, you may be offered the opportunity to consent to the sharing of your information with a Service Provider such as an event or promotion co-sponsor. If you consent, we will share your information with such Service Provider and the information you provide may be used by such Service Provider for their own purposes and in accordance with their own policies. We will identify any co-sponsor(s) in the official rules for the promotion.
Our Affiliates. We may share your personal information with other Valpak affiliates and/or subsidiaries that distribute and market Valpak® products (the "Valpak Companies"). Valpak Companies will use this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Sites to Which We Link. Our Service includes links to plenty of other Websites and provides access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we don't control. When you access another site or purchase products or services or conduct other transactions through their sites, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy statement of the operator of the site you're visiting or the provider of such products or services.
Other Disclosures. We reserve the right to release information about users of our Service when release is necessary or appropriate to comply with law, to enforce this privacy statement or our terms of use, or to protect the rights, property or safety of users of our Service, the public, our customers, or our company and its employees, agents, partners and Affiliates. As our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the event that we merge with another entity or otherwise transfer substantially all of our assets to another entity (including, without limitation, to one of our Affiliates as part of an internal reorganization), information collected from this Service would be among the transferred assets.
In certain places on this Service (for example, when registering as a user of this Service, managing your account, or participating in activities like promotional contests), we may ask you to consent to the sharing of your information with third parties with which we have business relationships. If you provide such consent (for example, by checking a box or by some other means), we will make your information available to such third parties as described in the consent form so that they, we, or both may contact you directly regarding special offers, promotions, products or services that may be of interest to you.
If you register with this Service, you will have the opportunity to review or update the information you have provided us at any time. You also have the option of deleting all information except for your email address. If you would like to completely deactivate your account, please contact us. Please note, however, that if you deactivate your account, you will not receive any newsletters from us and you will not be able to participate in any of our sweepstakes or contests.
You agree that, subject to applicable law, we may use your information to contact you for customer service, to inform you of important changes or additions to our Service or the services offered over our Service and to send you administrative notices or any communications relevant to your use of our Service.
If you have subscribed to one of our email newsletters, you will always have the opportunity to unsubscribe from future mailings (for example, by clicking on an unsubscribe link in an email newsletter or by modifying your account settings on our Service).

All information gathered through our Service is stored within database(s) operated by us or by a Service Provider on our behalf. We and/or our Service Providers secure the personally identifying information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
The safety and security of your personal information also depends on you. You must take reasonable measures to keep all passwords, whether given or chosen, confidential. You should be mindful of using public computers and internet networks to access the Website as we are not liable for any information that may be tampered with. Information viewed in public areas may be viewed by anyone.
Although we take measures to protect your personal information, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. The transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for the circumvention of or tampering with any privacy setting or security measure contained on the Website.
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
The California Consumer Privacy Act went into effect on January 1, 2020. The Act allows California residents and other covered persons (the "consumer") specific rights regarding their personal information, which are described below. If you are a California resident, you can exercise these rights by contacting us by clicking on the following links:
Request My Personal Information
Delete My Personal Information
Right to receive notice before or at the point of collection, about what personal information categories we collect and its intended purpose. We may not collect additional personal information categories or use collected personal information for unrelated, new, or additional purposes without providing notice to you.
Right to know and access categories of personal information collected, the specific types of personal information collected, the categories of sources from which personal information is collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting and/or disclosing the personal information, the categories of personal information sold or disclosed, the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or disclosed, and the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information. Additionally, you have the right to receive this information in a portable and useable format.
Right to request deletion of your personal information subject to certain exceptions. For example, we may deny your request if retaining your personal information is required under certain circumstances such as: to complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide goods or services that you requested; take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you; detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities; or comply with a legal obligation.
Right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information if you are 16 years of age or older.
Right to not face discrimination for asserting your rights subject to certain parameters. Under the California Consumer Protection Act ("CCPA"), we may not take retaliatory or discriminatory actions against any consumer who chooses to exercise any of these rights. Thus, we cannot deny you our Service. The law prohibits any practices that are usurious, coercive, or unjust. However, the CCPA does not prohibit entities from offering incentives, even financial, to customers who choose to "opt-in" to sharing their personal information.
Information We May Need from You
We may need to request specific information from you (e.g. name, email address, and phone number) to help us confirm your identity and verify your request to ensure your right to access or delete your personal information. This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it, and that your personal information is not deleted at the request of anyone but you unless the individual is your authorized agent. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time to Respond Consumer Rights Requests
We try to respond to all legitimate and verifiable requests within forty-five (45) days. Occasionally it may take us longer than 45 days if your request is particularly complex, you have made several requests, or additional information is needed from you to process your request. In this case, we will notify you within the 45-day period and keep you updated.
Authorized Agents
You can authorize a designated agent to exercise your rights on your behalf. To authorize a designated agent please contact us (see HOW TO CONTACT US below).
If you are a California resident and have an established business relationship with us, you can request a notice disclosing the categories of personal information we have shared with third parties, for the third parties' direct marketing purposes, during the preceding calendar year. To request a notice, please submit your request to privacy@valpak.com. Please allow 45 days for a response.
We may change the terms of this privacy statement or introduce new terms and conditions from time to time, in which case we will post an updated version of this privacy statement on this Service and will update the "Last Updated" date above to reflect the date the changes take effect. By continuing to use this Service after we post any such changes, you accept this privacy statement, as modified.
