PRIVACY POLICY FOR PRIMAL PET GROUP

Effective April 29, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes our policies and procedures on the collection, use and disclosure of your information when you use the Service and tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects You.

We use your Personal data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. 

SECTION 1 -- SCOPE OF THIS POLICY

This Privacy Policy governs Primal Pet Group, Inc. and its affiliates’ respective collection (and/or processing), use and disclosure of personal information from each’s website and other identified sources.  To the extent required by applicable law, this Privacy Policy is also intended to serve as a Notice of Collection of Personal Information.  Also to the extent required by applicable law, this Privacy Policy applies to both consumers and businesses (and their employees).

Primal Pet Group, Inc. is a Delaware corporation, www.primalpetgroup.com.  Primal Pet Group, Inc.’s affiliates include Primal Pet Foods, Inc., which is a California corporation, www.primalpetfoods.com (also including its Primal Pets, www.primalpets.com, brand), Prairie Dog Pet Products, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, www.prairiedogpetproducts.com, and Himalayan Dog Chew, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, www.himalayan.com (also including its Ecokind Pet Treats, www.ecokindpettreats.com, Yellow Yak, www.yellowyak.com and Chewmeter, www.chewmeter.com, brands).  In this Privacy Policy, each of Primal Pet Group, Inc. and its affiliates are referred to as “Primal” or a “Primal affiliate,” as may be applicable in the context. The terms “we”, “us” or “our” refers also to Primal or a Primal affiliate (whether capitalized or in lower case).

Please note that each Primal affiliate is a separate company and a separate legal entity from each and all of the companies that are other Primal affiliates.  When you access or use a Primal affiliate’s website or otherwise transact business with a Primal affiliate, you are transacting business with that specific company, not with any other Primal affiliate.  No Primal affiliate is responsible or liable for any other Primal affiliate.

Further, the laws that may govern transactions with one Primal affiliate, including privacy laws, may or may not be the same laws that would govern transactions with another Primal affiliate.  The laws that may govern a specific transaction may also provide fewer rights or less protection than might otherwise be provided by this Privacy Policy.  In such a case, your rights will be limited to those granted by law even if this Privacy Policy might appear to provide greater rights.  Further, not all Primal affiliates may be legally required to comply with a given state’s or federal privacy law notwithstanding anything in this Privacy Policy.  Each Primal affiliate’s respective commercial Terms & Conditions are also expressly incorporated into this Privacy Policy and you are agreeing to them.  Please read them.  No Primal website is currently intended for use by individuals or entities subject to the European Union General Data Protection Law.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Privacy Policy (or in any incorporated commercial Terms & Conditions) is intended to nor shall serve to, whether expressly or by implication, disclaim, release or otherwise abridge privacy rights or related remedies which cannot under any circumstances be disclaimed, released or abridged as a matter of the applicable law.

SECTION 4 -- DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION 

In utilizing your personal information, including “sensitive” personal information, as described above, a Primal affiliate may disclose it to third-parties (including service providers and contractors), if any, such as other Primal affiliates, financial institutions and intermediaries including involved credit or debit card issuers and banks, business support providers (including service providers and contractors) of things like Domain Name Services and data storage and security services, online stores and store services, order fulfillment services, private and public delivery services (including, potentially, the United States Postal Service), loyalty program services, payment services, debt collection services, email and other marketing services, suppliers, manufacturing, servicing, marketing and other business services providers, governmental entities including regulatory and law enforcement agencies, and social media networks, without limitation.

  • For business transfers: We may share or transfer Your personal information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of Company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of Our business to another company.

Service Providers

  • Payment processors

  • Our affiliates

  • Our business partners

  • Third party vendors to whom You or Your agents authorize Us to disclose Your personal information in connection with products or services We provide to You

Some third-parties, whether service providers or contractors or not, may also disclose, share or sell your personal information subject to their own privacy policies.  Primal is not responsible or liable for third-parties’ privacy (including data collection (and/or processing), disclosure, sharing and selling) policies or practices.  Similarly, and as addressed in Section 8 below, some third-parties (including service providers and contractors) may use cookies, beacons, applications and similar technical tools in connection with Primal affiliates’ websites, which may also collect (and/or process) personal information, including “sensitive” personal information.  Again, Primal is not responsible or liable for such third-parties’ privacy (including data collection (and/or processing), disclosure, sharing and selling) policies or practices.  Also remember that if you leave a Primal affiliate’s website or application (if any) or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you may no longer be governed by this Privacy Policy.  Finally, third-parties, whether service providers or contractors or others, may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or a Primal affiliate.  So, if you elect to proceed with a transaction, which may involve a third-party, then your personal information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that party or its facilities are located or which govern their activities.

If a Primal affiliate or third-party (including service providers or contractors) is acquired or merged with another company, your personal information, including “sensitive” personal information, may be transferred to the new company so that it may continue to provide products, services and information, if any, to you. 

Primal affiliates do not sell personal information, including “sensitive” personal information.  Primal affiliates do not share personal information, including “sensitive” personal information to engage in cross-context behavioral advertising.  Primal affiliates do not use or disclose “sensitive” personal information for purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy or as may otherwise be allowed by applicable law.  Primal affiliates do not, as of the publication date of this Privacy Policy, have actual knowledge of the collection (and/or processing), disclosure, sharing or sale of personal information, including “sensitive” personal information, belonging to minors.  Primal affiliates do not knowingly service persons under 18 years of age.

RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The Company will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use Your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

The Company will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of Our Service, or We are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

TRANSFER OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Your information, including Personal Data, is processed at the Company's operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. It means that this information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of Your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from Your jurisdiction.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by Your submission of such information represents Your agreement to that transfer.

The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of Your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of Your data and other personal information.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to disclose Your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).

Other legal requirements

The Company may disclose Your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

  • Comply with a legal obligation

  • Protect and defend the rights or property of the Company

  • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service

  • Protect against legal liability

SECTION 6 -- CONSENT &; CONSUMERS’ RIGHTS TO REQUEST PERSONAL INFORMATION 

HOW TO CONTACT PRIMAL 

When you provide a Primal affiliate or a third-party (including service providers or contractors) with personal information, including “sensitive” personal information, Primal infers that you consent to its collection and use for the purpose at issue and that you are directing Primal or a third-party (including service providers or contractors) to do so.  If a Primal affiliate or a third-party asks for your personal information, including “sensitive” personal information, for a secondary reason, the Primal affiliate will either ask you directly for your express consent or provide you with an opportunity to decline to participate.  For example, you may unsubscribe from Primal affiliate emails or texts at any time by clicking on a link provided in such emails or by responding as requested in such texts.

CALIFORNIA ADDENDUM:  Under California law, only to the extent that it may be applicable, consumers (or their authorized agents) have several rights related to their personal information, including “sensitive” personal information.  These include:

  • The right to notice. You have the right to be notified which categories of Personal Data are being collected and the purposes for which the Personal Data is being used.

  • The right to change, correct and delete personal information, including “sensitive” personal information.

  • The right to delete Personal Data. You have the right to request the deletion of Your Personal Data, subject to certain exceptions. Once We receive and confirm Your request, We will delete (and direct Our Service Providers to delete) Your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. We may deny Your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for Us or Our Service Providers to:

    • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on Your relationship with Us.

    • Comply with a legal obligation.

    • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which You provided it.

Certain restrictions may apply to any such requests.  Any such requests must be
verifiable as being made by the actual individual (or household) in question (or by an authorized agent).  Any verified request for action regarding your personal information, including “sensitive” personal information, shall also be provided to
applicable third-parties (including service providers and contractors), if any, for compliance. 

Under CCPA, personal information does not include:

  • Publicly available information from government records

  • Deidentified or aggregated consumer information

  • Information excluded from the CCPA's scope, such as:

  • Health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data

  • Personal Information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994

Also under California law, only to the extent that it may be applicable, you must also agree in advance (“opt-in”) to a Primal affiliate’s collection, use and disclosure of personal information, including “sensitive” personal information, obtained specifically for any financial incentive given to you in exchange and you also have the right to withdraw your consent to a Primal affiliate’s use of your personal information, including “sensitive” personal information, specifically given in exchange for any financial incentives at any time.  In certain circumstances, a Primal affiliate may offer financial incentives such as coupons, rebates, discounts or the like when you participate in programs like loyalty programs or when you create an online account, or otherwise.  The involved Primal affiliate will explain the involved program, its material terms, how to opt-in or withdraw, and what personal information, including “sensitive” personal information, may be required to participate.  While any related financial incentives may not be offered specifically in exchange for your personal information, including your “sensitive” personal information, you may need to provide such information to engage in the program.  In either event, if you do, Primal affiliates assume that you are opting-in to the arrangement as you are voluntarily providing such information.  The value of any personal information, including “sensitive” personal information, you provide specifically in exchange for a financial incentive may vary but will typically be based on, among other possible metrics, the cost of providing the financial incentive by the involved Primal affiliate.  Primal affiliates do not discriminate based on your privacy choices and, again, you can withdraw your consent to Primal affiliates' use of your personal information, including “sensitive” personal information, specifically related to any financial incentive program at any time.

Use of Personal Information for Business Purposes or Commercial Purposes

We may use or disclose personal information We collect for "business purposes" or "commercial purposes" (as defined under the CCPA), which may include the following examples:

  • To operate our Service and provide You with our Service.

  • To provide You with support and to respond to Your inquiries, including to investigate and address Your concerns and monitor and improve our Service.

  • To fulfill or meet the reason You provided the information.

To provide or withdraw consent to any service or action (i.e., to “opt-in” or “opt-out”), to stop or limit the sale (if any), sharing (if any), other disclosure or use of personal information, including “sensitive” personal information (if any), to ascertain what categories of personal information, including “sensitive” personal information, a Primal affiliate may have, what purposes it is used for, and what categories or persons or entities with whom a Primal affiliate may have sold, shared or otherwise disclosed such information (if at all), to obtain items of personal information, to request that a Primal affiliate change, correct or delete personal information, including “sensitive” personal information, or to appeal (under Texas law) a Primal affiliate personal information request response, please email your request (or appeal) to the Primal Privacy Compliance Officer through this link [email protected] or contact the relevant Primal affiliate by telephone at (866) 566-4652.  The involved Primal affiliate will respond within 10 days and strive to resolve all requests within 45 days.  To protect you and all customers, and as indicated above, a Primal affiliate will have to verify (or authenticate) your identity (and any agent’s identity and authority) before disclosing, changing, ceasing or limiting the use or disclosure of or changing or deleting any personal information, including “sensitive” personal information.  Generally, this may be done using information the involved Primal affiliate already has, from public information, and/or by asking you for verifying information including unique identifiers and two-factor identifying information.  A Primal affiliate may also require written and signed consumer authorization or a legal power of attorney in the event of an agent request.
