We may ask you to submit information about other people if you order a gift to be sent directly to the recipient. In such circumstances, we will ask for the recipient’s name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
We may ask you for personally identifying information at other times, such as if you enter a promotion, communicate with us, or complete a survey. If you opt-in to receive information regarding a promotion, you consent to share your name and e-mail address with the third party offering the promotion or the third party who may forward marketing or other materials on our behalf.
We may automatically gather general statistical information about our website and visitors, such as IP addresses, browsers, pages viewed, number of visitors, goods and services purchased, transactions completed, etc. To do this, we use action tags and cookies provided by our site analytics and marketing partners. Although these partners log the information from our site on our behalf, we authorize how that data may and may not be used.
Our website analytics partners use this data in the aggregate to determine how visitors use our site, allowing us to improve website experiences. In addition, this information is used better to serve you with appropriate and relevant marketing offers.
As part of our service, we use cookies to store and track information about you on our website. A cookie is a small amount of data sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Generally, we use cookies to remind us who you are and enable us to access your account information so you do not have to re-enter it on subsequent visits, gather statistical information about usage by registered or unregistered users, and research visiting patterns. If you disable cookies on your computer, you will not be able to view an abandoned shopping cart or auto-complete forms via G & W Bavarian Style Sausage Company online.
The Way We Use Information
Because our goal is to provide products that best meet your needs, we evaluate your personal interactions with us in an effort to bring you the products that best suit your tastes. In addition, we use your information to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze site usage, improve our content and product offerings, and customize our site’s content, layout, and services.
We may use your information to deliver information that, in some cases, is targeted to your interests, such as targeted banners, new products, services, and promotions. At times, we may ask you to provide us voluntarily with additional information regarding your personal or business interests, experience, or requests, which we may use to customize our products and services for you.
The email addresses collected are used to contact consumers for marketing purposes. G&W customer emails are not shared outside of the organization with other organizations for commercial purposes.
When you supply us with your postal address or phone number, you may receive periodic mailings from us. If you would rather not receive such offers, just log in under My Account to change your Contact Preferences, or call or write to let us know your preferences.
If you request products or services, we use your personal information to ship your order; if the products or services are from a retail partner, we may provide your relevant information to that retailer for the transaction.
We may use or disclose information to resolve disputes or investigate problems. We may also disclose or access information whenever we believe in good faith that the law requires it or if we otherwise consider it necessary to maintain service and improve our products and services.
