DO-NOT-TRACK SIGNALS

Some Web browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Each browser communicates "Do Not Track" signals to websites differently, making it unworkable to honor each and every request correctly. In order to alleviate any communication error between browsers and website, we do not respond to "Do Not Track" signals at this time. As the technology and communication between browser and website improve, we will reevaluate the ability to honor "Do Not Track" signals and may make changes to our policy.

Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?

It's also important to note that we allow third-party behavioral tracking through Google Analytics.

We provide many choices about the collection, use and sharing of your data, from deleting or correcting data you include in your profile to advertising opt-outs and communication controls. Contact us if you need information or have questions: info@simpsonsmeats.com

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under 18. We have no intention of collecting any Personal Data (that is, name, address, telephone number, or email address) from individuals under 18 years of age. Where appropriate, we will specifically instruct children not to submit such information on our websites or advertisements without consent of a parent or guardian. If a child has provided us with Personal Data without the consent of a parent or guardian, a parent or guardian of that child should contact us at info@simpsonsmeats.com if they would like this information deleted from our records. We will use reasonable efforts to delete the child's information from our existing files.

Fair Information Practices

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will notify users via email within 7 business days should a data breach occur.

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN-SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:

Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred.
