Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9/26/2022
We have created this Privacy Policy to explain how information you provide to us is used and shared. This Privacy Policy relates to the information collection and use practices of Alpenrose in connection with our services (the "Services"), which are made available to you through a variety of platforms, including our website: https://www.alpenrose.com and mobile applications (the "Sites").
By visiting our Sites and using our Services, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the accompanying Terms of Service.
The Information We Collect
1) Contact Information. When you sign up (create an account or sign in using Facebook or Google authentication), you are required to provide us with information about yourself (collectively, the "Contact Information"). Such Contact Information may include your name, email address, mailing address, and phone number. We do not collect any Contact Information from you when you use the Services unless you provide us with the Contact Information voluntarily (directly or via Facebook or Google authentication.)
2) Billing Information. When you sign up, you are required to provide payment information in addition to the Contact Information noted above. Such information may include a payment card number, billing name and address, and similar information (collectively, the “Billing Information”).
3) Other Information. In addition to the Contact Information and the Billing Information noted above that you voluntarily provide to us, we may collect additional information (collectively, the “Other Information”). Such Other Information may include:
a. From Your Activity. Information that we automatically collect when you use the Sites and Services, such as your IP addresses, browser type and language, referring and exit pages and URLs, date and time, amount of time spent on particular pages, what sections of the Sites you visit, order information, and similar information concerning your use of the Services.
b. From Cookies. Information that we collect using “cookie” technology. Cookies are small packets of data that our Sites store on your device to “remember” information about your visit. We use cookies to help us collect Other Information and to enhance your experience using the Services. If you do not want the Sites to place a cookie on your device, you may be able to turn "cookies" off on your computer or mobile device. Please refer to your internet browser(s) or device settings for information on how to do this. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from us, the Services may not function properly.
c. From You. Additional information about yourself that you voluntarily provide to us, such as product and service reviews, product preferences and emails sent to us.
d. From Third-Party Web Beacons and Third-Party Buttons. We may display third-party content on the Sites. Third-party content may use cookies, web beacons, or other mechanisms for obtaining data in connection with your viewing of the third-party content on the Sites. Additionally, we may implement third party buttons (such as Facebook “like” or “share” buttons) that may function as web beacons even when you do not interact with the button. Information collected through third-party web beacons and buttons is collected directly by these third parties, not by Alpenrose. Information collected by a third party in this manner is subject to that third party’s own data collection, use, and disclosure policies.
e. From Other Sources. Information that we collect or receive from other sources, such as our partners.
Accessing and Modifying Personal Information and Communication Preferences
If you have registered for the Services, you may access, review, and make changes to your Contact Information and Billing Information by following the instructions found on our Sites. In addition, you may manage your receipt of marketing and non-transactional communications by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link located on the bottom of any Alpenrose marketing email. Active customers cannot opt out of receiving transactional emails related to their account. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process such requests in a timely manner. You should be aware, however, that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in our subscription databases.
How We Use and Share the Information
We use the Contact Information, the Billing Information, and the Other Information to process transactions; provide you the Services; solicit your feedback; inform you about our products, services, upcoming events, recipes, and special promotions; administer and process contests, promotions, and sweepstakes; conduct analytics; and improve our Services to you. Also, we may share Contact Information, the Billing Information, and/or Other Information as described below.
- In order to administer our contests, promotions, and sweepstakes, we may share your Contact Information and Other Information with our third-party promotional and marketing partners.
- In an ongoing effort to better understand our users and our Services, we might analyze the Other Information in aggregate form in order to operate, maintain, manage, and improve the Services. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. We may share this aggregate data with our affiliates, agents, and business partners. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our products and Services to current and prospective business partners and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
- We may share Other Information about your activity on the Sites with third parties for the purpose of analytics or tailoring, analyzing, managing, reporting, and optimizing advertising you see (on our Sites or elsewhere). These third parties may use cookies, pixel tags (also called web beacons or clear gifs), and/or other technologies to collect such Other Information for such purposes. Pixel tags enable us, and these third-party advertisers, to recognize a browser’s cookie when a browser visits the site on which the pixel tag is located, in order to learn which advertisement brings a user to a given site.
- As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution, or similar event, the Contact Information, the Billing Information, and the Other Information may be part of the transferred assets.
- To the extent permitted by law, we may also disclose Contact Information, the Billing Information, and the Other Information when required by law, court order, or other government or law enforcement authority or regulatory agency, or whenever we believe that disclosing the such information is necessary or advisable, for example, to protect the rights, property, or safety of Alpenrose or others.
How We Protect Your Information
We take commercially reasonable steps to protect the Contact Information, the Billing Information, and the Other Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to and from us over the Internet. In particular, email sent to or from us may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email.
Requesting Review and Deletion of Personal Information
You may request to review and delete the Personal Information that we have collected from you. To request to review and delete your Personal Information, please send email to privacypolicy@alpenrose.com. Please include your account email address and summarize your request in the email. We may reply back to you to confirm receipt or collect additional details in order to complete your request. Please note, your right to review and delete Personal Information is subject to exceptions. For example, we may need to retain your Personal Information to provide you with the Services, complete a transaction or comply with other actions you have requested.
