This Privacy Policy for California Residents and Notice of Collection (“Notice”) supplements the information contained in the General Website Privacy Policy of Furlani Foods Corporation (collectively, “we,” “us,” or “our”).
We adopt this Notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this Notice. This policy controls to the extent of any conflict with our general Website Privacy Policy and is limited to our collection and use of personal information of residents of the State of California who are included in the definition of “consumer” under the CCPA (“consumers” or “you”).
We are a business-to-business (“B2B”) company, manufacturing and distributing bread products to North American retailers and food service operators. We also own this Website, furlanifoods.com, to help us provide these products. As a B2B company, we collect and use relatively less personal information of individuals than many consumer-orientated companies and advertising companies. However, to the extent that we collect or process information pertaining to persons meeting the definition of “consumers” under CCPA, then this Notice will apply.
This Notice applies only to the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information collected through our Website and does not apply to any other data or information collected by us online or offline except to the extent this Notice is expressly incorporated by us, such as by internet link on a website, reference within a contract, or otherwise presented or displayed to end users in the course of providing services.

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months (the “right to know”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will disclose to you:
We do not provide a right to know or data portability disclosure for B2B personal information.
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.
We do not provide these deletion rights for B2B personal information.
Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete
To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either:
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information.
You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must:
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.
You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete.
We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.
We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please call 1-877-317-7146 (extension 228).
We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your verifiable request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to privacy@furlanifoods.com.
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy policy, we will post the updated notice on the Website and update the notice’s effective date. Your continued use of our Website following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
