PRIVACY POLICY & YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

We respect the privacy of adult consumers. Listed below is our privacy policy. It applies to the information we collect on this website. This site is operated, in whole or in part, from the United States. By using this site, regardless of where you live in the world, you consent to have any personal information you provide transferred to and processed in the United States, and allow us to use and collect your personal information in accordance with this Policy.

ADULT AUDIENCE

We restrict our marketing mailing list to individuals who have certified that (1) they are consumers 21 years of age or older, (2) they want to be added to our contact list in order to receive content, offers, and advertising from a company, and (3) they understand that providing false information may constitute a violation of law. Before a certified adult consumer is added to our marketing contact list, we independently verify that the consumer is 21 years of age or older. If an individual wants to be removed from our marketing contact list, we make it easy to do so and we act promptly on all such requests. If at any time an individual wishes to be removed from our marketing contact list, he or she can call 1-505-633-5463. An individual can also remove his or her name from our marketing contact list by writing to us; instructions for doing this are provided on the address panel of our direct mail and on our e-mails.

COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We are committed to protecting the privacy of the adult consumers who have requested to be on our marketing contact list and the confidentiality of the personal information that they provide to us. We collect information that is needed to add adult consumers to our marketing contact list at their request, to serve these adult consumers, and to administer our business (e.g., to independently verify that a consumer is 21 years of age or older or to conduct consumer research among consumers 21 years of age or older). We diligently strive to maintain recent and accurate information on the adult consumers on our marketing contact list through consumer surveys, consumer-initiated contacts, and responses to our marketing programs (online and offline), as well as through address update services.

We also collect non-personal information, including browser type and version, screen resolution, monitor color depth, operating system, JavaScript version, and connection speed. We merge this information with adult consumers’ personal information. The non-personal information is used in two ways. First, it is used for an annual assessment of changes in web technology that enables us to better serve adult consumers on our marketing contact list. Second, it is used for problem resolution when an adult consumer on our marketing contact list contacts our Consumer Relations Department with a problem accessing our website.

We have strict policies and procedures in place to safeguard the privacy of adult consumers. We maintain adult consumers’ information in a secure environment and grant access to it only in accordance with our security standards. We may share your information with our affiliates who market products or nicotine replacement therapy products that you might be interested in. Please refer to the section entitled “Personal Information We May Share.” Additionally, sometimes it is necessary for us to share your information with third parties that perform services for us. When we contract with other parties to help us conduct our business, we require them to protect your personal information. Further, we do not permit them to use or store your personal information for any purpose other than the work they are doing on our behalf or as required by law. All our employees (and our affiliates) and third parties hired to work for us are held accountable for strictly adhering to these policies and procedures at all times.

Gramp’s, and its wholly owned subsidiaries share and disclose information with each other; therefore, your personal information may be shared and disclosed by and between Gramp’s subsidiaries that market products within the health and wellness industry.

However, we do not sell, rent, or give this information to other non-affiliated organizations or entities for marketing purposes.
