TRACKING AND INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING

We and third parties may collect information about your online and in-store activities to provide you with advertising about products and services tailored to your interests. This section of our Privacy Notice provides details and explains how to exercise your choices.

You may see our ads on other websites or mobile apps based on your interactions with us because we participate in advertising networks. Advertising networks allow us to target our messaging to users considering demographic data, users’ inferred interests and browsing context. These networks track users’ activities over time by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of cookies, web server logs, web beacons and other technologies. The networks use this information to show ads that may be tailored to individuals’ interests, to track users’ browsers or devices across multiple websites, and to build a profile of users’ activities. The information our advertising networks may collect includes data about users’ visits to websites that participate in the relevant advertising networks, such as the pages or ads viewed and the actions taken on the websites. Accordingly, we and our third-party vendors may collect information about our visitors’ online activities, over time and across third-party websites. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. To learn about how to opt out of interest-based advertising in the U.S., click here and review the “Opt-Out Choices” section below for additional information about how to exercise your opt-out choices. On your mobile device, your device settings may allow you to prohibit mobile app platforms (such as Apple and Google) from sharing certain information obtained by automated means with app developers such as Copeland’s.

CROSS-DEVICE TECHNOLOGIES

We and third parties may use collected information to establish connections among related web browsers and devices (such as smartphones, tablets, and computers) for targeted advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes. This information may be used to match your browsers or devices if you log into the same online service on multiple devices or if your devices share similar attributes that support an inference that they are used by the same person or household. This means that your online behavior (information about your activity on websites or apps on your current browser or device and your device’s geolocation) may be combined with information collected from your other browsers or devices. For example, this information may be used to deliver an ad on your tablet or smartphone, to limit the number of times you see an ad across your devices, and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns across devices.

LOCATION

We or our vendors may collect the geolocation (which may include specific longitude and latitude) of your mobile device based upon information identified by your mobile device by, for example, accessing your devices location services, when you allow such access, or by WiFi signals, beacons, Bluetooth or near field communication protocols. We may use and share your mobile device’s geolocation together with personal information or other information to identify your local Copeland’s restaurant, to provide you with personalized notifications or messaging (for example, that you have a reward available) by email, push notification, online or in-app advertising, or by other means described in this Privacy Notice. See “Opt-Out Choices” section below to opt-out of location collection. If you choose to opt out of location collection, certain functionality of the Copeland’s Online Services may not be available.

Our websites are not designed to respond to “do not track” signals received from browsers.

INFORMATION WE SHARE

We may share your personal information with our subsidiaries, affiliates and franchisees for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. We also may share personal information with vendors who perform services on our behalf based on our instructions, including, to conduct analysis and research. We do not authorize these service providers to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements.

We may also share personal information with third parties when you use their services together with our services, or when you share information directly through our services.

Also, third parties that operate plug-ins on the Copeland’s Online Services (such as the Facebook “like” button and the Twitter “follow” button) may collect your personal information. Even if you do not click on their plug-ins, they may collect information about you, such as your IP address and the pages that you view. They also may set or access a cookie. These plug-ins are governed by the privacy notice of the company that provides them.
