Welcome to the official site of Applegate Farms, LLC. It is our hope you find this website informative and entertaining. We are committed to protecting your personal privacy. THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT DISCLOSES the privacy practices for applegate.com. By accessing or using our Website, you agree to this Policy.
Personal Information Collection and Use
We collect several types of information from and about users of our Website. Some of the information we collect may be “personal information” which means it identifies you personally, alone or in combination with other information available to us. The information we collect falls into the following categories:
• Information that you manually provide to us, for example, when completing a registration or contest-entry form, requesting services, or posting “user contributions” (content you post using the social networking tools we make available to you).
• Information from third-party social media platforms. You may be able to register with, log on to, or enhance your profile on our Website by choosing to automatically populate the requested data fields with information you previously provided to a third party social media platform (such as Facebook or Twitter). By doing this, you are asking the third-party platform to send us information, including personal information, from your profile on that platform. We treat that information as we do any other information you give to us when you register, log on, or enhance your profile.
• Information from your browser or device, such as you IP address and other information about your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Website, and usage details.
• Information collected by cookies and other tracking technologies, such as the types of products you’re interested in. Cookies also help us understand how visitors use our Website and support the features and functionality of our Website – for example, by saving you the trouble or re-entering information already in our database. You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to use or access certain parts of our Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website. Please note that information we receive from your web browser or device or that is collected by cookies is not, in and of itself, personally identifiable. However, we may combine it with other information in an attempt to identify you or we may combine it with information that does identify you.
Third-Party Advertiser Use of Cookies
In addition to the cookies Company delivers to your computer through our Website, certain third parties may deliver cookies to you for a variety of reasons. For example, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics tool that helps us understand how visitors engage with our Website. To learn more about Google Analytics, click here.
Other third parties may deliver cookies to your computer or mobile device for the purpose of tracking your online behaviors over time and across nonaffiliated websites and/or delivering targeted advertisements either on our Website or on other websites.
You have choices about the collection of information by third parties on our Website. For example, if you don’t want information about your visit to our Website sent to Google Analytics, you may download an Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. Please note that the Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to Company.
In addition, if you would like to opt-out of having interest-based information collected by certain entities during your visits to our Website or other websites, please click here. You will be directed to an industry-developed website that contains mechanisms for choosing whether each listed entity may collect and use data for online behavioral advertising purposes. It may be that some of the third parties that collect interest-based information on this Site do not participate in the industry-developed opt-out website, in which case the best way to avoid third-party tracking of your online behaviors may be through your browser settings and deletion of cookies.

Disclosure of Your Information
In addition to collecting personal information voluntarily provided by site visitors, we also collect aggregate information relating to user navigation through our website. For example, we track the number of visitors, the type of browser used, and the pages viewed on the site.

With regard to User Contributions, including those that contain personal information, we reserve the right to disclose such information without restriction. In particular, please note that User Contributions, by definition, can be read, collected, used, and further disclosed by other users of our Website. We also reserve the right to use User Contributions you submit for advertising campaigns and other promotions. We may or may not use your name in connection with such use, and we may or may not seek your further consent before using the content for such purposes.

• For any other purpose either disclosed by us when you provide the information or for which we have your consent.

Do Not Track Mechanisms. California law requires this Policy to address how we respond to any “Do-Not-Track (‘DNT’) signal” delivered by your browser.
