II. GENERAL DISCLOSURES
The sites owned and/or operated by Schwan's are hosted in the United States. If you are visiting the sites from outside of the United States, please note that by providing your information it is being transferred to, stored or processed in the United States where our data center and servers are located and operated. This section sets forth Schwan's general privacy practices with respect to consumer information for the United States. By using the sites or engaging with the Offerings, you unambiguously consent to the transfer of your personal information and other information to the United States and, if applicable, to service providers located elsewhere, for the purposes and uses described in this Notice.

We take your privacy and the protection of your personal information seriously. We will only store, process and disclose your personal information in accordance with applicable law.

V. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We do not sell your personal information to third parties, and we also do not allow the third parties with whom we share your personal information to sell it, except in the limited circumstances where the term “sale” is uniquely defined under state law as described later in this Notice. For example, if you are a resident of Colorado or Connecticut, our use of cookies and tracking technologies constitutes a sale of personal information to third-party advertisers Please note, Schwan’s does not sell, re-sell, distribute for re-sale, or share your personal information except where our use of website tracking technology equates to a “sale” of personal information.
We may disclose the personal information we collect or you provide in the following circumstances:
- To fulfill or meet the reason you provided the information;
- To our subsidiaries and affiliates, including where we may be operating and/or owning websites or Offering on behalf of our affiliates, and sharing information associated with those affiliate's customers;

We will require any such purchaser, assignee, or other successor business entity to honor the terms of this Notice to the extent possible;
- To respond to law enforcement requests, to bring a legal action, and as required by applicable law, judicial proceedings, court order, or governmental regulations;
- With your consent;
- Aggregated, anonymized or de-identified information for any purpose. Aggregated, anonymized or de-identified information is information that can no longer reasonably identify a specific individual, and is not considered personal information in most jurisdictions. Although such information may be derived from your personal information, it can no longer directly or indirectly reveal your identity; and
- To third parties for a business purpose, including to Service Providers. When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract. For example, we may share your information with our order fulfillment and shipping providers, email marketing and social media vendors, and to third parties that provide interactive chat features on our websites.

VI. LINKING SITES
The sites contain links to other websites. Schwan's is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites, including any websites that may indicate a special relationship or partnership with us (such as co-branded pages or "powered by" or "in cooperation with" relationships). We do not share information we gather with other websites or any other entities or individuals unless such sharing is disclosed to you in advance through this Notice. Other linked websites, however, may collect personal information from you that is not subject to our control. To ensure protection of your privacy, always review the privacy policy of the websites you may visit by linking from the sites (including by linking through social media features on the sites, such as through a Facebook "Like" button). Please note that this Notice applies only to our sites, and not to other companies' or organizations' websites to which we link.

If you wish to purchase a product or make a payment using a Payment Service, you will be directed to a page operated by that Payment Service. Any information that you provide to a Payment Service will be subject to the applicable Payment Service's privacy policy, rather than this Notice. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, any Payment Service's use of information collected through any Payment Service.

We do not control how your personal information is collected, stored or used by such third-party websites or to whom it is disclosed. You should review the privacy policies and settings on any social media website that you subscribe to so that you understand the information they collect and may be sharing. If you do not want a social media website to share information about you, you must contact that website and determine whether it gives you the opportunity to opt-out of sharing such information. Schwan's is not responsible for how these third-party websites may use information collected from or about you.
VIII. HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION
We generally retain your personal information as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected the information, to comply with our document retention policy, applicable statute of limitations, or as necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you), in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
IX. MARKETING AND PROMOTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS
You may unsubscribe from receiving marketing and promotional messages from Schwan's, if those messages are powered by Schwan's, by following the instructions in those messages. If you decide to unsubscribe, you will still receive non-promotional communications relevant to your use of our Offerings.

We take reasonable measures, including administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, to protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

We are not responsible for any interception or interruption of any communications through the internet or for changes to or losses of data. We hold information about you both at our own premises and with the assistance of third-party service providers.
If you are utilizing a web-based login through any Offerings, you are responsible for maintaining the security of any password, user ID, or other form of authentication involved in obtaining access to password protected or secure areas of the Offerings. In order to protect you and your information, we may suspend your account and use of any of the Offerings, without notice, pending an investigation, if any breach of security is suspected.

XIII. PRIVACY RIGHTS AVAILABLE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CCPA”), requires that we provide California residents with a privacy policy that contains a comprehensive description of our online and offline practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, sale, sharing, and retention of personal information and of the rights of California residents regarding their personal information. This section of the Privacy Notice is intended solely for, and is applicable only as to, California residents. If you are not a California resident, this section does not apply to you and you should not rely on it.
The CCPA defines “personal information” to mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. Personal information does not include publicly available, deidentified or aggregated information or lawfully obtained, truthful information that is a matter of public concern. For purposes of this “Notice to California Residents” section we will continue refer to this information as “personal information,” as previously defined.
We currently collect and, in the 12 months prior to the effective date of this Privacy Notice, have collected the categories of personal information described in the table above in Section V, “Disclosure of Your Personal Information”. We collect personal information directly from California residents and, in the case of website users, from advertising networks and internet service providers. We do not collect all categories of personal information from each source.
Disclosure, Sale, and Sharing of Personal Information
The table in Section V. “Disclosures of Your Personal Information” identifies the categories of personal information that we disclosed for a business purpose in the 12 months preceding the last update of this Privacy Notice. For each category of personal information we also distinguish the categories of recipients to whom we disclosed said personal information as well as the business purpose for which such personal information was disclosed to the particular third parties.
The CCPA defines “sale” as the transfer of personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration. Although we do not “sell” personal information as that term may be commonly interpreted, we engage in online activities that may constitute a sale or a share of personal information under California law. This may include showing you advertisements on other websites.
The following table identifies the categories of Personal Information that we sold or shared to third parties in the 12 months preceding the last update of this Privacy Notice and, for each category, the category of third parties to whom we sold or shared Personal Information. For more detailed information about this type of sharing please review our Cookie Notice for details about the specific entities that we may share your data with.
| Category of Personal Information | Category[ies] of Third Parties |
| Unique personal identifiers (device identifier; cookies, beacons, pixel tags, mobile ad identifiers, or other similar technology; customer number, unique pseudonym or user alias; or other forms of persistent or probabilistic identifiers that can be used to identify a particular consumer or device.) | Advertising network; data analytics provider. |
We shared Personal Information to third parties for the following business or commercial purposes:
- To better understand how you use our websites across the various devices you use, and to deliver tailored promotions to our guests.
- To track page content and viewing information, pages viewed, keystroke activity, time spent on pages, scroll activity, click/touch information, and mouse movements.
- To better understand your specific preferences and track your activity across our web-based offerings and advertisements.
Your Rights
If you are a California resident, you have the following rights with respect to your personal information:
- The right to know what personal information we have collected about you, including the categories of personal information, the categories of sources from which we collected personal information, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling or sharing personal information (if applicable), the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information (if applicable), and the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you;
- The right to delete personal information that we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions;
- The right to correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you;
- If we sell or share (for the purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising) personal information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing; and
- The right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of privacy rights the CCPA confers.
Schwan’s does not collect “sensitive personal information” about California residents or engage in “profiling,” as those terms are defined by the CCPA. As a results, rights that the CCPA provides with respect to sensitive personal information and profiling are not applicable.
How to Submit a Request to Know, Delete, and/or Correct and Our Process for Verifying a Request
You can exercise the above-mentioned rights by contacting us via the below contact information. If you submit a request to delete online, you may be asked to confirm separately that you want your personal information deleted.
If you are submitting a request on behalf of a California resident, please submit the request through one of the designated methods discussed above. After submitting the request, and if the request is not subject to an exemption or exception, we will require additional information to verify your authority to act on behalf of the California resident.
If we determine that your request is subject to an exemption or exception, we will notify you of our determination. If we determine that your request is not subject to an exemption or exception, we will comply with your request upon verification of your identity as described above.
Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
If you are a California resident, you have the right to direct us to stop selling or sharing your personal information. You may submit a request to opt out of sales or sharing via the cookie opt-out mechanisms on our websites, Manage Cookies, the degree to which such sharing is performed via cookies and similar technologies managed by that cookie opt-out process. Please note that, because our sales and sharing of personal information is based on online cookies, your opt-out choice is specific to the device you use to visit a particular website. If you use multiple devices to visit a particular website, you will need to make your choice to opt out on each device. If you access multiple Schwan’s websites, you will need to make your choice to opt out for each website.
Notice of Financial Incentive
From time to time, you may have the opportunity to provide personal information in exchange for discounts and price differences. For example, we may provide discounts and price differences in exchange for you subscribing to a mailing list.
Signing up for discounts and price differences is optional. By providing your personal information during the discount sign-up process, you affirmatively opt in to receiving the financial incentive and to have your personal information processed as described. You have the right to withdraw from the financial incentive at any time. If you opt out of receiving a financial incentive, we will not reduce the value of any financial incentives you previously received from us. If you wish to withdraw from receiving the financial incentive, you may submit such a request to privacyrequest@schwans.com.
Erasure Law
If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and a registered user of the Offerings, California Business & Professions Code § 22581 permits you to request and obtain removal of content or information posted on the Offerings by you. If you wish to make a request, please contact us at privacyrequest@schwans.com. Please be aware that removal does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Offerings by you and there may be legal reasons for denying your request.
Direct Marketing Disclosure
In addition to CCPA, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits users of the sites who are California residents to request certain information regarding its disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us as described here.

- The right to correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you, subject to certain exceptions;
- The right, if applicable, to opt out of the processing of your personal information for purposes of (1) targeted advertising; (2) the “sale” of your personal information (as that term is defined by applicable law); and (3) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you;
- If we are required by applicable law to obtain your consent to process sensitive personal information, the right to withdraw your consent; and
- The right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of your privacy rights.
Requests you make regarding your personal information collected and retained may be subject to certain exceptions. For example, Schwan’s cannot delete your personal information if it is being used as a part of a current contract or transaction. Schwan’s will inform you of such exceptions in its response to your request.
Depending on how the applicable privacy law defines a “sale,” we may sell personal information to third parties. For instance, if you are a resident of Colorado or Connecticut, our use of cookies and tracking technologies constitutes a sale of personal information to third-party advertisers. Please note, Schwan’s does not sell, re-sell, distribute for re-sale, or share your personal information except where our use of website tracking technology equates to a “sale” of personal information. Details on such “sales” are provided in Section XII above under the subsection titled “Disclosure, Sale, and Sharing of Personal Information.”
We also use cookies and other tracking technologies to display advertisements about our products to you on nonaffiliated websites, applications, and online services. This is “targeted advertising” under applicable privacy laws. We do not use personal information for profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning individuals. Schwan’s does not process “sensitive” personal information about individuals, as defined by applicable privacy laws. As a result, the rights that may be available with respect to “sensitive” personal information under such laws are not applicable.
- MAKING A REQUEST AND VERIFICATION
If we receive a request from you, or an authorized agent acting on your behalf (where permitted by applicable law), we will first make a determination regarding the applicability of your state’s law, and we will then take steps to verify your identity prior to responding. The steps to verify your identity may vary based on our relationship with you, but, at a minimum for your protection, Schwan's is required to collect certain information from you to verify your identity before we respond to any request submitted by you. To verify any request or exercising of rights described here, you will be required to provide information to verify your identity (e.g., name, address, and e-mail address). Failure to do so could result in Schwan's inability to comply with your request. The information you provide so we may confirm your identity will only be used for verification purposes, and a record of your request, including certain information contained within it, will be maintained by Schwan's for its files.
If you would like to exercise your privacy rights and make a request as described here, please use the information provided under CONTACT INFORMATION and contact Schwan's. Applicable law in the jurisdiction where you reside may limit the number of times you can make requests regarding your personal information. However, Schwan’s may charge a reasonable fee or deny a request that is considered manifestly unfounded or excessive. Schwan’s will respond to your request within 45 days or any other time period required by applicable law. If for any reason your request is denied, Schwan’s will provide a “no action” explanation within that period. If your jurisdiction offers you a right to appeal such denial, you will be informed of your right to appeal that decision.
For residents of certain states, your rights as stated here can also be exercised by an authorized agent on your behalf. Where a state law, regulation, or regulator has described the process for establishing an authorized agent, Schwan’s will follow the standards set by that state law. For example, the Attorney General of California has set certain standards regarding designation of an authorized agent to exercise rights under California’s privacy legislation, which you may review to ensure you are submitting a compliant request. Schwan's can deny any request made by an agent who does not submit proof that he or she has been authorized by a resident to act on that resident's behalf.
- NON-DISCRIMINATION FOR EXERCISING PRIVACY RIGHTS
Under the privacy law of certain states, residents of those states have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by Schwan's or any business for the exercise of their privacy rights. However, the exercise of certain privacy rights by those residents may make it so that Schwan's is no longer able to provide those residents with certain aspects of the Offerings. For example, if, at the request of a Colorado resident, Schwan's deletes all of the Colorado resident's personal information that it maintains, Schwan's will no longer be able to send marketing communications to that resident unless that resident re-submits personal information to Schwan's.
- DO NOT TRACK
“Opt-Out Preference Signals,” “Global Privacy Control (GPC),” and “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) are browser settings and/or downloadable signals that allow users to notify websites of an individual’s privacy preferences. For example, DNT is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites you visit that you do not wish to be tracked. Such browser settings must be supported by the website you are visiting to be effective. Schwan’s does not honor “Do Not Track” signals. However, you may make a request to opt-out of or limit any processing activities as described herein or through the links available on the Offering.
