This CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY POLICY supplements the information contained in the Privacy Policy of Welch Foods Inc., A Cooperative (“Welch’s”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) and applies solely to individuals who are California residents (“consumers” or “you”), as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). We adopt this notice to comply with the CCPA and other California privacy laws. Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this policy.
We may collect information that identifies or is reasonably capable of being associated with you or your device (“personal information”) when you use our website, welchs.com (“the Site”). In particular, we collect (and have for the last 12 months) several categories of personal information from consumers, from several sources:

It also may include information about your computer or device such as IP address, browser type, operating system, carrier and/or manufacturer, device identifiers, and general location information (depending on your browser/device settings).
We may use or disclose the personal information we collect for one or more of the following business purposes:
We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to us.
In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have disclosed the following categories of personal information to third parties for some or all of the business purposes noted above:

Please see our Privacy Policy for further disclosures.
You have the right to access the specific pieces of personal information which we hold about you. You also have the right to receive your personal information in a structured and commonly used format so that it can be transferred to another entity (“data portability”).
Welch’s does not sell personal information within the meaning of the CCPA.
In certain circumstances, you have the right to request deletion of your personal information. Upon verifying your request, we will delete your personal information from our records, and instruct any service providers to delete your information, as directed by CCPA. Note that deletion requests are subject to several exceptions, such as where you have an open account or order, or where we are required to keep information under applicable law.
You have the right to be free from unlawful discrimination for exercising your rights under the CCPA.
You can exercise any of your rights as described in this policy and under data privacy laws by submitting request to us by either:
Only you or your authorized agent may make a request related to your personal information. You also may make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may make a request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. So that we can verify your request, you must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or that you are an authorized representative. This includes information such as your name, email, and residential address.
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.
We will respond to a verifiable consumer request within the time required by applicable law. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide also will explain the reasons we cannot fulfill a request, if applicable.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that your request warrants a fee, we will let you know that and why, and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
We reserve the right to revise or update this privacy policy at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice, it will be posted at this url, along with a new “Last Updated” date. It will be effective as of the date of posting.
