We may disclose certain portions of your Personal Information to analytics providers and other service providers or third parties for certain business purposes as identified above. As referenced in the table of Personal Information we collect, use and share, certain Services use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, analyze how visitors and customers interact with our Services, and for other purposes disclosed above. We may employ other companies to provide similar marketing services on our behalf. With our approval, these third parties may also place “cookies” on your browser or device for analysis purposes. These third-party companies will have access to the information needed to perform their functions but cannot use that information for any other purpose. You may be able disable cookies by consulting your computer or browser settings. However, certain aspects of the Services may not work properly (if at all) if you disable cookies.

This Services may use Google Analytics, a web analytics service that uses cookies to analyze your use of our Services. The information collected by these cookies about your use of the Services (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. Google uses this information to assess your use of the Services and provide reports on data such as how often you visit, what pages you view when you visit, and what other websites you have visited prior to visiting our Services. Google may transfer this information to third parties, if required by law or if third parties process the information on behalf of Google.

We do not use Google Analytics to send targeted ads, but cannot guarantee that you will receive no targeted advertising from Google as a result of our use of Google Analytics. You may be able to opt-out of receiving personalized ads generated by Google by using the settings at https://adssettings.google.com/.

New Pig allows cookies, IP addresses and marketing information to be collected and managed by our third-party marketing vendors in order to provide you with targeted ads based on what you appear to be interested in as a result of your activity online, both on our Site and elsewhere.

New Pig may also rent out its customer list to lead generation providers. New Pig‘s customer list may include your name, company name, and physical address. This transfer of our customer list may cause you to receive information from third parties, who are not affiliated with New Pig, about third-party products or services in which you may be interested.

Your use of such features may enable the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the relevant social sharing service. Please review the privacy policies of those social media services for more information about how such services handle the information you provide to or share through them.

If you would like to request that we allow you to access, review, edit, delete or have us properly dispose of any copies of the Personal Information that New Pig collected about you (subject to any applicable legal exceptions), if you would like to opt-out of receiving further information or limit what we share, or if you would like to exercise the above rights in any other way, please contact us at privacy@newpig.com or call us at 1-800-HOT-HOGS (1-800-468-4647).

Depending on where you reside, the disclosure of your cookie identifiers, including your IP address, in exchange for certain third-party services may be considered a sale of your Personal Information, and you may have the right to opt-out of any such sale of your Personal Information by New Pig. If applicable, you can opt-out of receiving targeted ads served by us or on our behalf by contacting us at privacy@newpig.com or calling us at 1-800-HOT-HOGS (1-800-468-4647).

If you opt-out, you will still see ads but they will not be personalized based on your online activity. Please note that if you disable your cookies or upgrade your browser after opting out, you will need to opt-out again. Further, if you use multiple browsers or devices you will need to execute this opt-out on each browser or device.

You can also generally opt-out of receiving targeted ads from third-party advertisers and ad networks who are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) by visiting http://optout.networkadvertising.org/. You may opt-out of receiving targeted advertisements from other companies that perform interest-based advertising services, including some that we may work with, via the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) site at http://optout.aboutads.info/. Please note that when using the ad industry opt-out tools described above, you may need to execute opt-outs for each browser or device that you use, and that other companies’ opt-outs may function differently than our opt-out.

You can stop the collection of information from your FloodBoss sensor device(s) at any time by removing the batteries or unplugging them, thus turning them off. In addition, if you do not want us to collect, use, and share the information we describe in this Policy, please discontinue your use of the Site and any related Services. In connection with promotions, surveys, or other projects, we may ask you specifically whether you have objections against a certain kind of data use or sharing. If you opt-out under such circumstances, we will respect your decision.

New Pig will do its best to accommodate any request to delete or properly dispose of any copies of your Personal Information, but we cannot guarantee we can eliminate all Personal Information from the specified uses. Therefore, please be as specific as possible in any request to delete or dispose of copies of your Personal Information. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise to perform a contract we entered into with you;
2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities;
3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law;
5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546);
6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information‘s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research‘s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent;
7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us;
8. Comply with a legal obligation; or
9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

If you choose to delete certain portions of your Personal Information, it may affect your ability to use certain Services. If the request relates to information that New Pig needs to make the Site or other Services function properly for you, you may no longer be able to use those Services. Any removal of content by New Pig does not ensure or guarantee complete or comprehensive removal of the content in all places. The content may have been shared or reposted by other parties, or federal or state law may require maintenance of the content or information.

You may grant an authorized agent written permission to submit requests regarding your Personal Information, but we may deny authorized agent requests absent proof that you authorized such agent to act on your behalf, or if we are unable to verify your identity.

New Pig is required to verify the identity of any person or entity that requests the disclosure or deletion of Personal Information. If you have a password-protected account with us, we will use our existing authentication procedures to verify your identity. For most other requests, New Pig will ask you to provide information that matches at least two pieces of Personal Information we store about you before responding to your request. If you would like to request details about the specific pieces of your Personal Information that New Pig has collected, or if you would like us to delete highly sensitive information, you will need to provide data that matches at least three pieces of information we store about you, and you must provide a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose Personal Information you are requesting.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you or the consumer at issue. You do not need to have an account with us in order to make a verifiable consumer request. We will only use Personal Information provided in a lawful consumer request to verify the requestor‘s identity or authority to make the request.

New Pig reserves the right to maintain proper business records as required by law, or for otherwise legitimate business purposes to the extent permitted by law, even if such records contain portions of your Personal Information.

If you would like to opt-out of receiving promotional emails from New Pig, please follow the opt-out instructions at the bottom of the email or send New Pig a detailed email at privacy@newpig.com.

Some browsers also have a “do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked, and depending on where you reside, New Pig will attempt to treat such technical signals as valid opt-out requests for online tracking related to targeted advertising to the extent your use of the Services could result in such targeted advertising. However, because there is no common understanding about what a “do not track” signal is supposed to mean, New Pig cannot guarantee that it will be able to receive and process these requests in connection with the Services. To learn about other ways to opt-out of certain kinds of targeted advertising, visit the Network Advertising Initiative website and the Digital Advertising Alliance website. Options you select are browser- and device-specific.

New Pig will periodically review its security policies and implement changes from time to time. However, we cannot and do not guarantee complete security, as it does not exist on the internet. While New Pig takes the issue of protecting your Personal Information seriously, you should exercise discretion in what information you disclose or transmit to the Site. Any transmitted information may be intercepted by others before it reaches New Pig. If you are concerned about sending information to New Pig over the internet, please send the information by mail or call us to make other arrangements.

New Pig retains collected information for a reasonable amount of time in order to fulfill the stated purpose for why the information was collected. New Pig also will retain collected information connected to business records for periods of time required by law.
