Privacy Rights REQUESTS

To submit a request relating to your Personal Information, please use our webform or call us at 1-888-295-0247. Please note that we may need to verify your identity before your request can be processed. Typically, we will ask that you verify your identity by providing 2-3 pieces of Personal Information that we will match against our records. If you have a password-protected account with us, we may verify your identity through our existing authentication practices for your account. The information that we ask you to provide to verify your identity will depend on your prior interactions with us and the sensitivity of the Personal Information at issue.

In some states and for some types of requests, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf; however, you will still need to verify your identity directly with us before your request can be processed. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf using the webform or toll-free number listed above. We will not discriminate against you if you choose to exercise your privacy rights.

California

If you are a California consumer, you have the right to submit certain requests relating to your Personal Information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

Right to Know. California consumers have the right to know:

  • The categories of Personal Information we have collected about you, including:
    • The categories of sources from which the Personal Information was collected
    • Our business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing Personal Information
    • The categories of recipients to which we disclose Personal Information
    • The categories of Personal Information that we sold, and for each category identified, the categories of third parties to which we sold that particular category of Personal Information
    • The categories of Personal Information that we disclosed for a business purpose, and for each category identified, the categories of recipients to which we disclosed that particular category of Personal Information

The specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you

Deletion. You have the right to request the deletion of Personal Information we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. Where we use deidentification to satisfy a deletion request, we commit to maintaining and using the information in deidentified form and will not attempt to reidentify the information.

Correction. If you believe that Personal Information we maintain about you is inaccurate, you may submit a request for us to correct that information. Upon receipt of a verifiable request to correct inaccurate Personal Information, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the information as you direct.

Right to Opt-Out of Sales and Sharing of Personal Information. You have the right to opt out of the sale of your Personal Information, and to request that we do not share your Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To opt out of cookie-based sales and sharing, please click on the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information homepage link for each Gallo brand you have engaged with, and follow the instructions provided. If you choose to use a browser-based opt-out signal (such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal), you will be opted out of cookie-based sales and sharing of Personal Information. Because we are unable to recognize you across different websites, visiting one of our sites with the signal enabled will have the effect of opting you out of sales and sharing with respect to that specific site, but will not impact sales and sharing for our other websites or brands. Additionally, you will need to turn on the opt-out signal for each browser that you use. To submit a request to opt out of offline sales and sharing, please use our webform or toll-free number.

Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes to which the right to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information applies.

Other States

This Section describes the privacy rights available to consumers who reside in US States other than California. If you are a resident of California, please review our California-specific disclosures, above.

Access and Data Portability. You can use this type of request to confirm whether we are processing your Personal Information, to access your Personal Information, and to obtain a copy of your Personal Information in a portable format. Depending on your state of residence, you may also request that we provide you with information about the categories or specific third parties to which we disclosed Personal Information.

Correction. You may request that we correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information taking into account the nature of the Personal Information and our purposes for processing it.

Deletion. You may request that we delete your Personal Information, subject to exceptions. Where we use deidentification to satisfy a deletion request, we commit to maintaining and using the information in deidentified form and will not attempt to reidentify the information.

Opt-Out Requests. You may opt out of the following uses of your Personal Information: (a) targeted advertising; (b) the sale of Personal Information; and (c) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning your economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements. We do not sell Personal Information in exchange for money or engage in practices that qualify as profiling producing legal or similarly significant effects under applicable state privacy laws. To opt out of targeted advertising and/or non-monetary “sales” of Personal Information via cookies, please click on the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information homepage link for each Gallo brand you have engaged with, and follow the instructions provided. If you choose to use a browser-based opt-out signal (such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal), you will be opted out of cookie-based sales and sharing of Personal Information. Because we are unable to recognize you across different websites, visiting one of our sites with the signal enabled will have the effect of opting you out of sales and sharing with respect to that specific site, but will not impact sales and sharing for our other websites or brands. Additionally, you will need to turn on the opt-out signal for each browser that you use. To submit a request to opt out of offline sales and sharing, please use our webform or toll-free number.

Revoke Consent. If you consented to our collection or use of your Personal Information, you also have the right to revoke your consent.

Appeal. Sometimes we are unable to process requests relating to your Personal Information, in which case, your request will be denied. If your privacy rights request has previously been denied by us and you believe we denied it in error, you may appeal for reconsideration of your request using our webform.

Special Notice for Nevada Residents. Nevada law provides residents the right to opt-out of the “sale” of “covered information” to third parties, including but not limited to name, address, social security number, telephone number, email address, and other information through which a person may be contacted. Our uses of your Personal Information are not sales under Nevada law. If you have any questions or if you would like to receive notice by email in the event we should engage in sales of Personal Information under Nevada law in the future, please contact us.

Financial Incentives and Offers

California Notice of Financial Incentive

Summary. We sometimes offer discount codes or perks like a branded item in connection with you opting in to receive marketing emails. You receive such discount codes or perks because we want to show you that we are excited you want to hear from us and because we hope you will want to buy our products.

Material Terms. The details of each program are contained in the program offering but in general, we invite you to provide us with your email address or cell phone number, and we provide you with a sign of our appreciation such as a discount code or a perk like a branded item. We value the opportunity to market to you.

We want to keep in touch with you in ways that you find to be beneficial. If you don’t want us to use your email address to communicate with you for promotional purposes (such as to tell you about products and services that might be of interest or to offer coupons/discounts), please tell us that when you provide your contact information. If you decide at a later time you do not want to receive promotional email communications, you can communicate this to us by accessing your account via our site (if applicable), by clicking on the Unsubscribe link in the communications that we may send you, or by using our webform.
