RICHARD’S FAMOUS® PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: July 22, 2026
Richard’s Famous, LLC (“Richard’s Famous,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you visit RichardsFamousGarlicSalt.com (the “Website”), purchase our products, create a customer account, join our email list, submit a form, contact us, or otherwise interact with us in connection with the Website.
The Website and our online store are intended for customers in the United States. This policy applies to information collected through the Website and to related customer information that you provide directly to us for orders, customer service, and marketing. It does not apply to the independent privacy practices of third-party websites or services that we do not control.
1. Personal Information We Collect
Information You Provide
We may collect personal information that you provide directly, including:
· Contact information, such as your name, email address, mailing address, shipping address, billing address, and telephone number.
· Order and transaction information, such as products purchased, order history, shipping instructions, discounts used, invoice details, payment status, returns, refunds, and customer-service communications.
· Customer account information, including your contact information, saved addresses, and order history.
· Email subscription information, including your email address, subscription status, and interactions with emails we send.
· Information submitted through forms, email, or other communications, including the content of your message and any information you choose to provide.
· Information necessary to calculate tax, prevent fraud, process payments, fulfill orders, and comply with legal and accounting obligations.
Information Collected Automatically
When you use the Website, Squarespace and other service providers may automatically collect information such as:
· Your Internet Protocol (IP) address and approximate location derived from it.
· Browser type, device type, operating system, network information, and device identifiers.
· Referring pages, pages viewed, links clicked, searches, scrolling, timestamps, and other interactions with the Website.
· Information about shopping-cart activity, checkout activity, site performance, and errors.
· Cookie and similar-technology identifiers, as described below.
Payment Information
Payments are processed through Squarespace Payments and its payment and fraud-prevention providers, including Stripe and Sift. These providers may receive payment-card information, billing information, device information, transaction information, and other information needed to process payments, authenticate transactions, calculate taxes, and detect or prevent fraud. Richard’s Famous does not receive or store your complete payment-card number.
2. How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information to:
· Operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Website and online store.
· Process payments, calculate taxes, fulfill and ship orders, provide invoices, and manage returns or refunds.
· Create and administer customer accounts.
· Respond to questions, requests, reviews, and customer-service communications.
· Send order confirmations, shipping notices, account messages, security alerts, and other transactional communications.
· Send marketing emails when you have subscribed or when otherwise permitted by law.
· Measure site traffic, understand how visitors use the Website, and improve content, recipes, products, and marketing.
· Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, misuse, security incidents, and violations of our terms.
· Maintain business, tax, accounting, and legal records; enforce agreements; and comply with applicable law.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files or pieces of text stored on a device when a visitor accesses a website.
Necessary Cookies
Squarespace uses necessary cookies to securely provide the Website and enable features such as navigation, shopping carts, checkout, customer accounts, fraud prevention, and security. These cookies are required for the Website to function and cannot be disabled through our Website settings.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Squarespace may use analytics and performance cookies to help us understand traffic, activity, and performance, including visits, traffic sources, pages viewed, interactions, and cart activity. Where our cookie banner offers a choice, these nonessential cookies are used according to the selection you make.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some Website features. For more information about cookies used by Squarespace, visit: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001264507-The-cookies-Squarespace-uses
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no universally accepted standard for responding to these signals, the Website does not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals. We will honor legally required browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, when applicable to our data practices and required by law. As described below, Richard’s Famous does not currently sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Third-Party Collection Across Websites
Squarespace and other service providers may collect information about your interactions with the Website and may receive information from your browser or device. Some third parties may be able to recognize a browser or device across different websites or services, depending on their technologies and your settings. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy policies. We do not currently use Meta Pixel or another advertising pixel to track visitors across websites for cross-context behavioral advertising.
4. How We Disclose Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients for the purposes described in this policy:
· Website and commerce providers, including Squarespace, which hosts and operates the Website, store, analytics, customer-account, form, invoicing, and email-marketing functions.
· Payment, tax, and fraud-prevention providers, including Squarespace Payments, Stripe, and Sift.
· Shipping carriers and fulfillment-related providers that need information to deliver orders.
· Professional advisers and business-service providers, such as accountants, attorneys, insurers, and information-technology providers, when reasonably necessary.
· Government authorities, regulators, courts, law enforcement, or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, property, the Website, customers, or the public.
· A successor or potential successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to appropriate protections.
We do not permit service providers to use personal information for purposes unrelated to the services they provide to us, except as permitted or required by law and their applicable terms and privacy policies.
5. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
Richard’s Famous does not sell personal information for money. We do not currently share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act. We also do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
If our practices change, we will update this policy and provide any notices, links, preference signals, or opt-out methods required by applicable law before engaging in the new practice.
6. Email Communications
If you join our email list, we may use Squarespace Email Campaigns to send recipes, product information, company news, and occasional offers. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the message or contacting us at info@RichardsFamous.com.
Unsubscribing from marketing emails will not stop transactional or service communications that are necessary for an order, payment, shipment, customer account, security matter, or response to your request.
7. Fonts and Embedded Services
The Website may use Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts to display text. When fonts are served by those providers, they may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser, device, and the page being viewed. The Website may also contain links to social-media or other third-party services. If we add embedded videos, maps, social widgets, advertising pixels, or other integrations, those services may collect information according to their own privacy policies and the choices available through our cookie banner or their services.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing products and services, maintaining customer accounts, honoring email preferences, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, and satisfying tax, accounting, recordkeeping, and other legal obligations. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the nature of our relationship with you, legal requirements, and operational needs. When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete it, de-identify it, or retain it as required or permitted by law.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. We also rely on the security measures provided by Squarespace and our payment and service providers. No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Your Choices and Privacy Requests
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information that we maintain about you, subject to applicable law and exceptions. You may also ask questions about our privacy practices or withdraw from marketing emails.
To submit a request, email info@RichardsFamous.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line, or write to the address in the Contact Us section below. Please describe your request and provide enough information for us to locate the relevant records. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. We will use information submitted with a request only to verify and respond to that request, as permitted by law.
Depending on applicable law, we may deny or limit a request—for example, when information must be retained for an order, tax, fraud-prevention, legal, security, or recordkeeping purpose. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right provided by applicable law.
11. California Privacy Disclosures
California Online Privacy Protection Act
This policy identifies the categories of personally identifiable information we collect, the categories of third parties with whom we may disclose that information, how you may request review or correction, how we communicate material changes, the effective date, our response to Do Not Track signals, and whether other parties may collect information about online activities over time and across websites.
CCPA and CPRA
The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, applies only to businesses that meet statutory applicability requirements. To the extent these laws apply to Richard’s Famous and your personal information, California residents may have rights to know, access, correct, or delete certain personal information; to opt out of sale or sharing; to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; and to be free from unlawful discrimination for exercising applicable rights. Requests may be submitted using the process in Section 10.
Richard’s Famous does not currently sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If a legally required opt-out method becomes applicable to our practices, we will provide it on the Website and honor qualifying opt-out preference signals as required by law.
California “Shine the Light”
California Civil Code section 1798.83 may permit California residents to request information regarding certain disclosures of personal information to third parties for those third parties’ direct-marketing purposes. Richard’s Famous does not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct-marketing purposes as contemplated by that law.
12. Children’s Privacy
The Website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
13. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Website may link to websites or services operated by other parties, including Squarespace, Stripe, Sift, Google, Adobe, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing information to them.
