SunFoods, LLC (the “Company” or “we”) is committed to protecting your privacy. We will never rent or sell your personally identifiable information to third parties for marketing purposes. We will never share your contact information with another User, without your consent. Any sensitive information that you provide will be secured with an industry standard protocol and technology system. In the limited situations provided in paragraph 3 of this Statement, we may disclose some user information to third parties. (Please see paragraph 3 for more details.)
This Statement sets forth our current privacy practices with regard to the information we collect when you or your computer interact with our Websites. By accessing one of our Websites, you acknowledge and fully understand this Statement and freely consent to the information collection and use practices described in this Statement. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Websites.
This policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy). Your continued use of this Website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.
This Statement does not cover any information collected by any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from the Website. Related services and offerings with links from this Website, including Third-Party Sites, may have their own privacy statements that may be viewed by clicking on the corresponding links within each respective Third-Party Site. Online merchants and others who participate in our services are encouraged to participate in industry privacy initiatives and to take a responsible attitude towards consumer privacy. However, since we do not have direct control over the policies or practices of participating merchants and other third parties, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of Third-Party Sites. We recommend and encourage that you always review the privacy policies of merchants and other third parties before you provide any personal information or complete any transaction with such parties.
We collect certain information from and about Users in three main ways: (1) directly from our web server logs, (2) information obtained and stored with cookies and (3) information supplied by the User. Each way of obtaining information is described below.
a. Web Server Logs
When you visit our Website, we may track information to administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track include:
b. Use of Cookies
We may use cookies to personalize or enhance the User’s experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.
We reserve the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but do not allow other companies to place cookies on our Website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into our Websites a site that relies on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our Website.
c. Information Supplied by Users
Visitors to our Website can register to purchase services. When you register, we will request some personal information such as first and last name, address (home or other physical location), email address, telephone number, facsimile number, password to SunFoods, LLC website account, and other relevant information. If you are purchasing goods, we will request financial information including (1) name on credit card, (2) billing address for credit card, (3) credit card number and (4) credit card expiration date. Any financial information we collect is used only to bill you for the services you purchased. If you purchase by credit card, this information may be forwarded to your credit card provider through financial third parties that authorize credit card transactions. For other types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. You may also be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission except as follows:
We use information that we collect about a User or that a User provides to us, including any personal information:
We may also use your information to contact you about goods and services that may be of interest to you. If you do not want us to use your information in this way, you may opt-out of receiving information in accordance with paragraph 11 of this Statement.
We may disclose aggregated information about our users without restriction.

We may also disclose your personal information:
If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our customers, or others.
Our Websites may contain electronic images known as web beacons, sometimes also called single-pixel gifs, that allow us to count Users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. We may include web beacons in promotional email messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon. Some of these web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our Website and how you use the site.
We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally identifiable information in your web account file is correct and current.
You may review this information by contacting us using one of the contact methods under the “Contacting Us” section below.
We cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
California residents may have additional personal information rights and choices. Please see below for more information.
The California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”) requires commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personal identifiable information (“PII”) from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.
According to CALOPPA, We agree to the following:
If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your personal information. To learn more about your California privacy rights, please see our Privacy Notice for California Residents below.
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 contact us using one of the contact methods under the “Contacting Us” section below.

SunFoods, LLC does not knowingly market to, collect, or solicit any information from anyone under the age of 16. The Service and its content are not directed at children under the age of 16. We endeavor to obtain a parent or legal guardian’s consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information about children. In the event that we learn we have inadvertently collected personal information from children under the age of 16 without parental consent, we will immediately delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us using one of the contact methods under the “Contacting Us” section below.
California residents under 16 years of age may have additional rights regarding the collection and sale of their personal information. Please see paragraph 9 for more information.
