Protecting your privacy is very important to us. We will only use the information you share with us for the purposes set forth in this policy, including to process your orders and enhance your shopping experience.

WorldPantry only sells to and ships to United States addresses and will not collect any personal data from users in the European Union. This Policy is therefore applicable only to United States consumers.
This Policy is subject to our Terms of Use located at: https://www.worldpantry.com/termsconditions.html. We may update this Policy from time to time, as specified in the "Changes to This Privacy Policy" section below.
California state law confers certain rights relating to personal information to its residents. If you are a California resident, please also see our California Consumer Privacy Section in this Policy located here below.

California Consumers Only: Your California Privacy Rights
The purpose of this section is to inform California residents from whom we may collect personal information about certain rights California affords to its residents with respect to personal information.
Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Disclosed or Sold
You have the right to request that we disclose to you the following information about personal information we collect from you:
Categories of personal information collected;
Categories of sources of personal information collected;
The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information;
The categories of third parties with whom we share personal information; and
The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you over the past 12 months.
You also have a right to know if we have sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose over the past 12 months and, if so, the categories of personal information sold or disclosed and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or disclosed, along with the business or commercial purpose for which the personal information was sold or disclosed.
Requests to Know
To make a request for any of the information set forth above (a "Request to Know"), please submit a verifiable consumer request pursuant to the instructions below. You may only make a Request to Know twice within a 12-month period. We will acknowledge your Request to Know within 10 business days and will attempt to respond substantively within 45-90 days.
The Request to Know must provide sufficient information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom the personal information was collected, sold or disclosed and must contain sufficient detail to allow us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to your request. If we cannot verify your identity, we will not be able to respond to your request.
You can make a Request to Know the personal information we have about you in the following ways:
You may make a request here: ccpa@worldpantry.com
You may also make a request by phone by contacting us at 1-888-388-7658.
Once we receive your Request to Know, we will begin the process to verify that you are the person that is the subject of the request (the "Verification Process"). The Verification Process consists of matching identifying information provided by you with the information we have about you in our records. You will be asked to provide us with two or three pieces of information that will help us to verify your identification.
Information Collected
Within the past 12 months, we have collected the categories of personal information about California consumers as described in this Policy in the section labelled "Information Collection and Use of Information." To review these categories, click here.
Information Sold or Disclosed
We have not sold any personal information to third parties for a business or commercial purpose in the preceding 12 months.
Certain information collected by WorldPantry.com, including customer email addresses, newsletter or catalog contact information, website traffic data, order information, and customer generated content on the Site, is jointly owned with our associated brand partner and is jointly accessible by the partner to provide the shopping experience to you. This jointly owned information is exclusive to WorldPantry.com and Mary's Gone Crackers and is not shared with other WorldPantry.com business partners. Because the brand partner jointly owns this information with WorldPantry.com, we do not consider the partner's access to it to be a "sale" of data between WorldPantry.com and the partner under the CCPA. The brand partners are responsible for the management of the information provided to them by WorldPantry.com. To learn more about the brand partner policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information, please visit the brand partner website to review their privacy policy.

Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information
You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information collected or maintained by us ("Request to Delete"), subject to certain exceptions permitted by law.
To make a Request to Delete, please submit a verifiable consumer request pursuant to the instructions below. We will acknowledge your Request to Delete within 10 business days and will attempt to respond substantively within 45-90 days.
A Request to Delete requires two steps: 1) making the Request to Delete and 2) confirming that you want your information to be deleted.
You can make a Request to Delete in the following ways:
You may make a request here: ccpa@worldpantry.com

Once we receive your request to delete, we will need to verify that you are the person that is the subject of the request (the "Verification Process"). The Verification Process consists of matching identifying information provided by you with the information we have about you in our records. If we cannot verify your identity, we will not be able to respond to your request. If the information requested to be deleted is necessary for us to maintain, we will not be able to comply with your request and will notify you this is the case.
We will retain correspondence, documents and information related to any Request to Know, Request to Delete, or Request to Opt-Out for 24 months as required by law.
Right to Opt-out of Sale of Personal Information
You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. We do not and will not sell your personal information. If this changes in the future, we will provide you with required notice and the right opt out.
As stated above, we and our brand partners jointly own certain personal information collected by WorldPantry. We do not view our brand partner's joint access to this information as a "sale" of data under the CCPA. Should you wish to make requests to access or delete information collected about you, please review your consumer requests rights and the applicable procedures set forth above.
Right to Non-Discrimination for Exercising Consumer Privacy Rights
You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your privacy rights conferred by the California Consumer Privacy Act, including by exercising the rights specified herein.
