·       The right to request that we disclose what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose or sell about you;

·       The right, in certain circumstances, to request the deletion of Personal Information we have collected or maintain about you;

·       The right to opt-out of the sale of your Personal Information, if applicable; and

·       The right not to receive discriminatory treatment by New Pig, in terms of the quality of Services and the prices offered on or through our Services, because you exercised these rights regarding the collection, use and sharing of your Personal Information.

If you would like to request that we allow you to access, review, edit, delete or have us properly dispose of any copies of the Personal Information that New Pig collected about you (subject to any applicable legal exceptions), if you would like to opt-out of receiving further information or limit what we share, or if you would like to exercise the above rights in any other way, please contact us at privacy@newpig.com or call us at 1-800-HOT-HOGS (1-800-468-4647).

You may be able to opt-out of New Pig sharing your Personal Information with the entities identified in this Policy by sending us an email at the address above, unless the sharing of your Personal Information is necessary to perform one of the following business purposes: to count ad impressions and evaluate their effectiveness; to detect, protect against, and prosecute security incidents; to debug or troubleshoot functional errors that may arise with the Services; to complete short-term tasks related to an existing interaction you have with New Pig; to maintain or service your account; to process payments and fulfill orders or other transactions you authorize; to verify your customer information; and to ensure the safety and quality of the Services. 

New Pig will do its best to accommodate any request to delete or properly dispose of any copies of your Personal Information, but we cannot guarantee we can eliminate all Personal Information from the specified uses. Therefore, please be as specific as possible in any request to delete or dispose of copies of your Personal Information. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

1.    Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise to perform a contract we entered into with you;

2.    Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities;

3.    Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;

4.    Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law;

5.    Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546);

6.    Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, if you previously provided informed consent;

7.    Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us;

8.    Comply with a legal obligation; or

9.    Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

If you choose to delete certain portions of your Personal Information, it may affect your ability to use certain Services. If the request relates to information that New Pig needs to make the Site or other Services function properly for you, you may no longer be able to use those Services. Any removal of content by New Pig does not ensure or guarantee complete or comprehensive removal of the content in all places. The content may have been shared or reposted by other parties, or federal or state law may require maintenance of the content or information.

You may grant an authorized agent written permission to submit requests regarding your Personal Information, but we may deny authorized agent requests absent proof that you authorized such agent to act on your behalf, or if we are unable to verify your identity.

New Pig is required to verify the identity of any person or entity that requests the disclosure or deletion of Personal Information. If you have a password-protected account with us, we will use our existing authentication procedures to verify your identity. For most other requests, New Pig will ask you to provide information that matches at least two pieces of personal information we store about you before responding to your request. If you would like to request details about the specific pieces of your personal information that New Pig has collected, or if you would like us to delete highly sensitive information, you will need to provide data that matches at least three pieces of information we store about you, and you must provide a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose personal information you are requesting.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you or the consumer at issue.  You do not need to have an account with us in order to make a verifiable consumer request.  We will only use Personal Information provided in a lawful consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

New Pig reserves the right to maintain proper business records as required by law, or for otherwise legitimate business purposes to the extent permitted by law, even if such records contain portions of your Personal Information.

If you would like to opt-out of receiving promotional emails from New Pig, please follow the opt-out instructions at the bottom of the email or send New Pig a detailed email at privacy@newpig.com.

Some browsers also have a ”do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. New Pig does not sell Personal Information under California law when you use the Services identified in this Policy, and because there is no common understanding about what a “do not track” signal is supposed to mean, New Pig does not process these requests in connection with the Services. To learn about ways to opt-out of certain kinds of targeted advertising, visit the Network Advertising Initiative website and the Digital Advertising Alliance website. Options you select are browser- and device-specific.

Securing Personal Information

New Pig employs industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your Personal Information such as firewalls and authentication protection. New Pig will periodically review its security policies and implement changes from time to time. However, we cannot and do not guarantee complete security, as it does not exist on the internet. While New Pig takes the issue of protecting your Personal Information seriously, you should exercise discretion in what information you disclose or transmit to the Site. Any transmitted information may be intercepted by others before it reaches New Pig. If you are concerned about sending information to New Pig over the internet, please send the information by mail or call us to make other arrangements.

New Pig retains collected information for a reasonable amount of time in order to fulfill the stated purpose for why the information was collected. New Pig also will retain collected information connected to business records for periods of time required by law. If New Pig determines that collected information is no longer needed, it will delete such information. Our collection times will be consistent with applicable law.

Children’s Privacy

New Pig’s Services are intended for individuals 18 years of age and older. Our Services are not directed at, marketed to, nor intended for, children under 16 years of age. New Pig does not knowingly collect or sell any information, including Personal Information, from children under 16 years of age. If New Pig learns it has collected any information regarding a person younger than 16 years of age, New Pig will delete or destroy the information immediately.

If there is concern that information regarding a person younger than 16 years of age was somehow collected by New Pig, any minor, or the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of such minor, who wishes to request the removal of the minor’s information should submit their request by using the contact details provided in the “Contacting New Pig Corporation” section below.

Non-U.S. Concerns

The Services are meant for individuals within the United States. New Pig only knowingly collects information from individuals within the United States. If you provide information to New Pig from outside of the United States, you do so at your own risk. If you are outside of the United States, you are responsible for complying with any local laws regarding use of the Services, and related data collection. You also agree and acknowledge that by providing any information, including Personal Information, through the Services, that such information will be transmitted to, and stored in, the United States.
