Privacy Policy

"This "Brand Builder" app is a free app and this service is provided at no cost and is intended for use as is."

Whenever you use a website, personal data is collected. This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) sets forth the policies and procedures of Certified Angus Beef LLC (“we”, “us” or “our”), with respect to information, including personally identifiable data and other information (collectively, “Personal Data”) collected from users of websites owned and operated by us (collectively, our “Site”). By using our Site, you consent to the collection and use of your Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Your access to and use of our Site is also subject to our Terms of Use. Please note, you may use our Site without providing your Personal Data; however, if you choose not to provide certain information, you may be unable to use certain functions of our Site.

Personal Data We Collect

We collect Personal Data from you when you voluntarily provide such information, such as when you register an account, contact us with inquiries, buy a product, enter a contest or fill out a survey. Personal Data may include your name, mailing address, phone number, email address or a security question and answer. Additionally, if you are ordering from our Site, your credit card information may be collected in order to complete the transaction but will not be stored or used thereafter by us.

When you interact with us through our Site, we also have the capability to receive and store certain Personal Data by using tracking tools, like browser cookies. Cookies are files with a small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and transferred to your device. For example, our Site may set a cookie on your browser, which allows you to access our Site without having to re-enter a password more than once per visit. This information cannot be used presently to specifically identify you, except if you sign in under our Licensee Services section of our Site. Please note that your browser may give you the ability to modify cookies or turn them off entirely.

We do use cookies technologies on our Site via Google Analytics Services; however, no specific personal information or personally identifying data is collected or stored, but we may receive information related to you, such as your general location, age and gender in an effort to better understand our user demographics. Google Analytics also gathers data about your activity on our Site, including how long you stay on our Site, what pages you visit, what browser you use, and more technical data. This tracking data helps us better understand the needs and desires of our Site visitors and to provide better content for our Site. On occasion, we will generate aggregate data about the visitors to our Site. Google may decide to use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. We stay firmly within the bounds of the Google Analytics Terms of Service. If you prefer to avoid this tracking, you can opt out of Google’s advertising tracking cookie or use a browser plugin to opt out of all Google Analytics tracking software.

We also use Facebook Analytics to measure and generate ads on our behalf about products and services tailored to your interests. Upon visiting our Site, we would provide Facebook with a unique cookie containing information about your interaction with us on our Site and Facebook would use this data to generate specific ads for us when you sign in to your Facebook account. Data collected in this way is anonymous to us, which means we cannot see the personal data of individual users; however, this data is saved and processed by Facebook. Facebook can connect this data with your Facebook account and use it for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Policy which can be found at Facebook.com/about/privacy/.
