Privacy Policy

(LAST UPDATED 2/12/2020)

Welcome to Lagunitas.com. Because your privacy is very important to us, we want you to understand our practices with regard to collecting and using your information both online and offline and the steps we take to safeguard it. This statement applies to Personally Identifiable Information collected from our customers. When this Privacy Policy uses the term “Personally Identifiable Information” it refers to information that lets us know the specifics of whom you are and can be used to identify, contact or locate you. Personally Identifiable Information might include your name, mailing address, telephone number, mobile phone number, email address, and other identification and contact information. We may also collect certain financial information; whenever we do so, we will attempt to provide a link to this Policy so that you can confirm how this information will be used. With this information, we can fill your service and product orders and better provide you with personalized services. By visiting this website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please leave this website and do not use it.

“Non Personally Identifiable Information” refers to information that does not identify a specific individual by itself or in combination with other information. We may gather certain information about you such as age, date of birth, gender, as well as consumer purchasing information based upon where you shop on any one of our websites. This information may be compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the website’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the Internet. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (“TCP/IP”) network, such as the Internet. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Internet, allowing Internet servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.

We welcome any and all questions and feedback. For privacy-related issues, please contact us at:

CALIFORNIA INCENTIVE PROGRAMS NOTICE
From time-to-time, The Lagunitas Brewing Company (“we”, “our”, “us”) may offer you the opportunity to participate in sweepstakes, contests, or other promotions (collectively “Promotion(s)”, which may qualify as a “price or service difference” or “financial incentive” under California law (collectively, “incentive programs”). The categories of personal information we collect and process in connection with your participation in the Promotions include identifiers, contact information, personal records, commercial information, service usage information, and inferences.

You may opt-in to Promotions by signing up to them, typically through an online form we provide. Because Promotions are typically not ongoing programs, you cannot opt-out of Promotions once you have signed up (unlike a loyalty or points program that is ongoing, where you can opt-out from ongoing participation). You can, however, exercise your privacy rights by following the instructions in our privacy policy. If we provide any other incentive programs that provide ongoing benefits or otherwise which you can opt-out of, we will provide you with information on how to do so by updating this section or when you sign up.

We are required to explain how incentive programs we offer are reasonably related to the value that we receive from the personal information we collect in connection with the incentive programs. In addition to administering the Promotions, we use and disclose the personal information you provide for the other purposes described in our privacy policy, including marketing and advertising purposes. These activities generate revenue for us that we believe is reasonably related to the benefit you receive from participating in the sweepstakes. We treat the value of your personal information that we collect in connection with Promotions as equivalent to the potential increase in revenue attributable to additional marketing customization value to the consumer due to the enriched understanding, minus the program expenses associated with a Promotion. We calculate that value by looking at the potential additional marketing customization value to the consumer due to the enriched understanding of said consumer to determine the average value of the data based on the attribute collected. For this reason, Promotions are reasonably related to the value of the consumer’s data that we receive in connection with Promotions.

CHANGES TO THIS CCPA NOTICE

We may change or update this CCPA Notice from time to time.
