We do not sell or rent your personal information to third-parties for marketing purposes unless you have granted us permission to do so.
We may share your personal information with authorized third-party agents or contractors in order to provide a requested service or transaction. For example, if we need to ship something to you, we must share your name and address with a shipping company. We only provide third-party agents with the minimum amount of personal information necessary to complete the requested service or transaction.
We may respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process by disclosing your personal information and other related information, if necessary. We also may choose to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
We may collect and possibly share personal information and any other additional information available to us in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of the Certified Angus Beef ® website terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
We will ask you for your opt-in consent to share your personal information with a third party for any other reason.
Certified Angus Beef is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. We utilize a combination of security technologies, procedures, and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology is used to transfer any sensitive personal data (for example, credit card information) over the Internet.
While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit. You have a responsibility to take appropriate measures to protect your personal information while online. For example, change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers when creating passwords, and make sure you use a secure web browser.
We do not keep any credit or other payment information longer than is necessary in order to comply with legal, tax, and auditing requirements.
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.
You can access all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain by calling our customer service department at (330) 345-0809. We use this procedure to better safeguard your information.
You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request that credibly shows the error.
To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.
