Information We Share

Except as otherwise provided in this Policy, The Golden Carrot does not disclose information we collect about you to third parties.  We may share personal information with service providers who perform services on our behalf (e.g., payment processing, order fulfillment and shipping, website hosting and analytics, etc.).  These service providers are permitted to use or disclose the information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. 

We may release your personal information if we are required to do so by law or court order, to enforce or apply our Terms of Use or if we believe in good faith that such release is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, customers, affiliates, or others.  We may also share or transfer information, including your personal information, in connection with the sale, transfer, acquisition, merger, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy or other change or ownership or control any affiliated company (in each case, whether in whole or in part).  When one of these events occurs, we will use reasonable efforts to notify users before information is transferred or becomes subject to different privacy practices.

Protection of Your Information

We use commercially reasonable security measures online and in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse, disclosure or alteration of personal information provided to us.  For instance, we use PayPal to process all credit and debit card payments. Please see PayPal’s Privacy Policy for more information about the steps it takes to protect your personal information (www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full).

 

While we strive to safeguard your personal information, we cannot completely guarantee that no part of our system will ever fail or be compromised.  If you ever suspect that our website has contributed to your information being compromised, please contact us immediately so that we may investigate and resolve the matter.  

If you receive an e-mail that looks like it is from us asking you for your personal information, do not respond.  We will never request your password, username, credit card information or other personal information through e-mail.

Cookie Policy

Like many websites, our website uses cookies.  Cookies are small text files stored by your browser on your computer when you visit our website or use our services.  Cookies permit us to recognize users and avoid repetitive requests for the same information, understand your preferences for future visits, and compile data about site interaction to help us provide a better experience in the future.

Third Party Links

Our website may contain links to other third party websites or applications (each, a “Third Party Site”).  Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of these Third Party Sites.  We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content or actions of these Third Party Sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and practices of each Third Party Site that you visit.

Choice/Opt-Out

We offer you certain choices in connection with the personal information we collect about you, such as how we use the information and how we communicate with you.  To update your preferences, ask us to remove your information from our mailing lists, exercise your rights, or submit a request, please contact us.  You can also unsubscribe from our mailing lists by following the "Unsubscribe" link in our emails.  We honor all opt-out requests, but there may be a delay between submission of such request and actual removal from our mailing lists, as these lists are generated well in advance of our actual mailings.  Opting out of communications does not affect our communication with you via telephone or e-mail regarding orders or other sales or service transactions.

You may request access to the personal information we maintain about you or request that we correct, amend, delete or block the information by contacting us.  You may withdraw any consent you previously provided to us or object at any time on legitimate grounds to the processing of your personal information, and we will apply your preferences going forward.
