Privacy Policy

Last updated:

Placeholder: final text to be provided by the client's legal counsel.

This Privacy Policy explains how Publica Food, Inc. (“Publica Food,” “we” or “us”) handles personal information when you visit this website, contact us or connect with our brands online. It also describes the choices you have about that information.

Information we collect

We collect personal information in three main ways:

  • Information you give us. For example, your name, email address, phone number, mailing address and the content of your message when you contact us, sign up for email alerts, request a donation or apply for a job.
  • Information collected automatically. When you browse the site, we and our service providers may record details such as your browser type, device identifiers, IP address, general location, the pages you view and the site that referred you.
  • Information from other sources. We may receive information from service providers, retail and marketing partners, and social media platforms, subject to their own privacy terms.

How we use information

We use personal information to:

  • respond to your questions, comments and requests;
  • send the newsletters, alerts and other messages you ask for;
  • run, secure and improve our websites and understand how they are used;
  • develop new products and measure how well our marketing works;
  • review job applications and supplier, donation and sponsorship requests; and
  • meet our legal obligations and protect the rights and safety of our consumers, our employees and the company.

We share personal information with service providers that help us run the site and our business, with our affiliates, when the law requires it, and as part of a merger, sale or similar corporate transaction. Placeholder: counsel to state whether the company sells or shares personal information as those terms are defined under applicable state laws.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files saved on your device when you visit a website. We and our partners use cookies, pixels and similar tools to:

  • keep the site working and secure (essential cookies);
  • remember your settings, such as your cookie choices;
  • understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it (analytics cookies); and
  • where you allow it, show you more relevant ads on other websites (advertising cookies).

Essential cookies are always on. Analytics and advertising cookies are set only if you accept them, and you can change your mind at any time.

Your privacy choices

  • Cookie choices. Select “Your Privacy Choices” in the footer of any page to review or change the optional cookies we may use.
  • Marketing emails. Use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or contact us. We may still send you messages about a request you made.
  • Browser signals. Placeholder: describe how the site responds to opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control.
  • Your details. You can ask us to update or correct the contact details we hold about you.

State privacy rights

Residents of certain U.S. states have additional rights over their personal information. Depending on where you live, these may include the right to:

  • know what personal information we hold about you and receive a copy;
  • correct information that is inaccurate;
  • delete personal information we collected from you;
  • opt out of targeted advertising and of the sale or sharing of personal information; and
  • appeal a decision we make about your request.

To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will need to confirm your identity before acting on some requests, and you may use an authorized agent where the law allows. Using these rights will not change the price or quality of anything we offer you. Placeholder: counsel to list the state laws that apply and any required disclosures.

Children's privacy

This website is meant for a general audience and is not designed for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has shared personal information with us, please contact us and we will delete it.

Data security

We protect personal information with a combination of technical, administrative and physical safeguards suited to its sensitivity. Even so, no website or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so please take care when sharing information online.

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, or longer if the law requires it.

International transfers

Publica Food is based in the United States, and the information we collect is stored and processed there. If you visit from another country, your information may be transferred to the United States or to other countries where our service providers operate, which may have different data protection rules from those where you live. Where required, we put appropriate safeguards in place for these transfers.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our practices or the law change. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we will also give you additional notice, such as a message on our homepage.
