2. Information We Collect
We collect certain personal information from you when you choose to provide it to us. This may include when you use certain features on our Sites register for an account on one or more of our Sites; make a purchase; sign up for a newsletter or one of our email lists; use our services; participate in a contest, sweepstakes, game, survey, or promotion; request information from us; or otherwise contact us. The personal information we collect may include your name, birthday or age, telephone number, and e-mail address. If you purchase products or services from Kraft Heinz, we may also request your credit/debit card number or other financial information, along with billing information, so we can fulfill your order or request.
We don’t require you to register or provide personal information to view our Sites or access much of its content, such as our many delicious recipes. However, you may be required to provide certain personal information to create a Site account, use certain features, or receive certain offers. For example, when you participate in certain interactive features on our Sites, such as using our recipe exchange, recipe ratings, and product ratings and reviews, you may also provide us with certain information like your e-mail address, nickname, city and state or province of residence, or submit content, such as recipes, ratings, comments, or pictures to the Site.
If you use a third-party login to create your account (such as Facebook Connect or a Google account), sign into our Sites or otherwise link to us, we may receive certain information about you from the third party based on your registration and privacy settings on those third-party websites.
We may process sensitive information as defined by applicable data privacy laws, such as precise geolocation, but we do so only if you have given us your consent.
We may collect your personal information when you choose to join our loyalty programs or promotional campaigns where we aim to enhance your engagement with us. By participating in these programs, we may gather certain information from you. This may include, but is not limited to, your name, contact details, images of receipts, purchase history, referral details, demographic information, preferences, and program activity information such as points earned, rewards redeemed, and engagement with program features. We collect this data through various means, including contests, competitions, receipt scanning, quizzes, gamified experiences, and surveys. The personal information collected through loyalty programs is used to understand our customers’ preferences and needs, to personalize the content we may send to you, to provide customized rewards and offers, to give exclusive access to digital content, products, or experiences to qualified members, to improve our product and services, and to facilitate communications. We may share the personal information collected through these programs with our service providers, as described in the How We Disclose Your Information section below. When you sign up for a loyalty program, we will provide you with information about our program partners and the benefits you can earn by participating in the program. If you submit a deletion request for your personal information, we may be unable to provide you with loyalty program benefits because we need your personal information to process your loyalty program membership and to provide you with the benefits associated with your membership.
We may also collect certain information about you automatically when you visit the Site (see Information Collected by Automated Means below) and from other sources (see Information Collected from Other Sources below) and may combine this information with the information you provide to us.
We may use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, log files, or local shared objects (such as Flash cookies), and other technologies to collect certain information about visitors to our Sites, use of our online services, and interactions with our emails and online advertisements, and to allow us to keep track of analytics and certain statistical information which enables us to improve the Sites and provide you with more relevant content and advertising on our Site and other sites.
For example, through these means, we may automatically collect information such as your browser type, operating system, mobile device type and carrier, device identifier, Internet service provider (“ISP”), Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, and the country with which your IP address is associated. We may also collect information about your use of and interaction with the Site, such as the webpages viewed, the date and time you visit the Site, the areas or pages of the Site that you visit, the amount of time you spend viewing or using the Site, the number of times you return to the Site, other click-stream or Site usage data, whether you open, forward, or click-through links, emails, and ads, and other Site usage data.

We also work with third-party advertisers and ad networks to support our Sites.

Some of these advertisers and ad networks also may combine this information with other data, such as demographic data received from third parties to assist in tailoring the advertisements displayed to you. These third-party advertisers and ad networks use the information described above to provide you relevant advertisements based on your online behavior, search activities on our Site and on other third-party sites, and demographic information, so that the advertising you see on our Site and other sites more closely reflect your interests and needs. For example, if you search for or browse a recipe or product on our Site, you may see an advertisement from a third-party with information about, or an offer similar to, that for which you were searching or browsing on our Site, or an offer related to a third party whose site you have visited in the past.

To contact you when necessary;
To use your data in an aggregated non-specific format for analytical and demographic purposes;

We may use your identity, contact, technical, usage, account, and profile data, including identity, contact and profile data we have received from data brokers or aggregators, to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what kinds of products and services may be of interest to you. Combining data from multiple sources in this way is commonly known as “enriching data” or “profile building”. This is how we decide which products, services and offers to include in marketing messages we send. This process may involve automated decision-making to determine which marketing messages will be most meaningful to you based on your interests, preferences, and location. There may also be other instances where we may use your personal information to render a decision based on automated processing of such personal information. If you would not like us to use data from data brokers and aggregators to enrich the data we have collected from you or if you would like to object to automated decision-making or if you would like to submit observations to a member of the personnel of our organization who is in a position to review the decision made by automated means, please contact the Data Privacy Team.

We may disclose the information we collect from and about you in the following ways: (1) among Kraft Heinz brands and subsidiaries for the purposes described above; (2) to our third party service providers we have retained to perform a business, professional or technical support functions for us, including to the extent necessary or desirable to help run promotions, fulfill orders, complete your transaction, or provide customer service (these service providers may have access to personal information about our Site visitors if it is needed to perform their functions for Kraft Heinz, but they are not authorized by Kraft Heinz to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on Kraft Heinz’s behalf or to comply with legal requirements); (3) as necessary to investigate or prevent an actual or suspected crime or injury to ourselves or others, as permitted by law; (4) if we believe that there has been a violation of our Terms of Use or of our rights or the rights of any third party; (5) to respond to judicial process or provide information to law enforcement authorities, regulatory agencies, or other government officials, or otherwise as required by law; and (6) as otherwise described to you in this Notice or at the point of collection.
We share information that we collect from you, such as your email (in hashed form, where possible), IP address or information about your browser or operating system with our service providers, such as media agencies, to send you interest-based advertising on our behalf. We may also share aggregated or de-identified information about you with our advertising and marketing partners, and third-party media platforms, including social media sites, to allow them to send targeted advertising messages and/or conduct analyses on our behalf. If you wish to stop receiving advertising messages from these third parties, please review the “Your Choices” section below.

We will not share this information with our promotional partners for any other purpose unless you consent to such sharing.
During the normal course of our business, Kraft Heinz may sell or purchase assets. If another entity acquires us or any of our assets, information we have collected about you may be transferred to such entity. In addition, if any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is brought by or against us, such information may be considered an asset of ours and may be sold or transferred to third parties. Should a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to require that the transferee use personal information provided through the Site in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice.
Data processing within the Kraft Heinz group of companies may be done via servers located outside of Quebec, Canada, and the United States. Some of our supplier, advertising, or promotional agency service providers as described above may also be located outside of Quebec, Canada, and the United States. As a result, your personal information may be accessible to regulatory authorities in accordance with the laws of other jurisdictions. If you wish more information about Kraft Heinz policies and practices with respect to the transfer and processing of personal information outside of Canada or the United States, please contact us in any of the ways described in the contact section of this Privacy Notice.

We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites.
Any information you may disclose on our Site, in blogs, on message boards, in chat rooms, or on other public areas on the Site or other third-party websites that this Site may link to, becomes public information.

Kraft Heinz cannot control the actions of third parties who may view the Site and use publicly-available information for their own purposes.
You can change your preferences for follow-up contacts by the Kraft Heinz Company, including by limiting how third parties use your email address to send you targeted advertising through social media on our behalf.

Kraft Heinz is committed to protecting the privacy of children who use our Sites. While most Kraft Heinz Sites are directed to adults, there are a few other Sites intended for use by children under the age of 13. For Services that are directed to children, we may collect, use, and disclose information about you as described in this Privacy Policy. This Children’s Privacy Policy explains our information collection, disclosure, and parental consent practices with respect to information provided by children under the age of 13 (“child” or “children”) and uses terms that are defined in our general Privacy Notice. This policy is in accordance with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) and outlines our practices regarding children’s personal information.
Where one of our Services is intended for use by a child under the age of 13, we will obtain consent from the person with parental responsibility before we collect personal information where it is required by applicable laws and regulations.
If you are a child under the age of 13, you should review the terms of this Privacy Notice with your parent or guardian to make sure you understand and accept them. If we discover that we have collected personal information from a child without consent from a parent or guardian where such consent should have been obtained, we will delete that personal information as soon as practical. Access to certain parts of the Kraft Heinz websites and/or eligibility to receive prizes, samples or other rewards are generally limited to users over a certain age.
We sometimes use your personal information to carry out age verification checks and enforce any such age restrictions.
The security of your information is important to us. We have taken certain administrative, technical, and physical steps to safeguard the information we collect from and about our customers and Site visitors against unauthorized use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. While we make every effort to help ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee our security measures.
Personal information is maintained on our servers or those of our service providers and is accessible to authorized employees, representatives and agents who require access for the purposes described in this notice. We retain personal information in accordance with our record retention policies. Retention periods are set taking into account the purpose for which the personal information was collected, applicable legal requirements, and our legitimate need to retain business records for reasonable periods.
We may change or update all or certain portions of this Privacy Notice at any time. When we do, we will post the revised Privacy Notice on the Site. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of the revised Privacy Notice means you accept these changes. Please check back from time to time so you are aware of any changes or updates to the notice. If we make any material changes, we will provide appropriate notice to you. We will indicate the notice’s effective date on the first page of the notice.
Depending on where you live and the Data Protection Laws applicable to you, you may have one or more of the following rights:
