This Privacy Addendum for California Residents (the “California Privacy Addendum”) supplements the information contained in Vollrath’s generally applicable Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) and applies solely to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). We adopt this California Privacy Addendum to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this California Privacy Addendum. We may update this California Privacy Addendum at any time as necessary in the event of changes to the CCPA. Note that this California Privacy Addendum does not apply to you if you are a job applicant to, employee of, owner of, director of, officer of, medical staff member of, or contractor of Vollrath to the extent we process your Personal Information in the context of your role or former role in one of these categories; please contact your local Human Resources Department if you are in California and are a member of any of these categories and would like more information about how we process your Personal Information.
Our Websites and Applications collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or device (“Personal Information”). In particular, Vollrath’s Websites and Applications have collected the following categories of Personal Information from its consumers within the last twelve (12) months:
Category | Examples | Collected |
A. Identifiers. | A real name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, Internet Protocol address, email address, account name, Social Security number, driver’s license number, passport number, or other similar identifiers. | YES |
B. Personal Information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)). | A name, signature, Social Security number, physical characteristics or description, address, telephone number, passport number, driver’s license or state identification card number, insurance policy number, education, employment, employment history, bank account number, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information, medical information, or health insurance information. NOTE: Some Personal Information included in this category may overlap with other categories. | YES |
C. Protected classification characteristics under California or federal law. | Age (40 years or older), race, color, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, religion or creed, marital status, medical condition, physical or mental disability, sex (including gender, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy or childbirth and related medical conditions), sexual orientation, veteran or military status, genetic information (including familial genetic information). | NO |

E. Biometric information. | Genetic, physiological, behavioral, and biological characteristics, or activity patterns used to extract a template or other identifier or identifying information, such as, fingerprints, faceprints, and voiceprints, iris or retina scans, keystroke, gait, or other physical patterns, and sleep, health, or exercise data. | NO |
F. Internet or other similar network activity. | Browsing history, search history, information on a consumer’s interaction with a website, application, or advertisement. | YES |
G. Geolocation data. | Physical location or movements. | NO |
H. Sensory data. | Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information. | NO |
I. Professional or employment-related information. | Current or past job history or performance evaluations. | NO |
J. Non-public education information (per the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. Section 1232g, 34 C.F.R. Part 99)). | Education records directly related to a student maintained by an educational institution or party acting on its behalf, such as grades, transcripts, class lists, student schedules, student identification codes, student financial information, or student disciplinary records. | NO |
K. Inferences drawn from other Personal Information. | Profile reflecting a person’s preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes. | NO |
Please note, however, that the above examples are provided in the CCPA or other statutes referenced above and reproduced here for your convenience so you may understand the types of information that are considered within each category. It is not meant to imply that we collect all such information listed in the examples. We only collect the specific pieces of Personal Information described in our Privacy Policy.
Personal Information does not include:
The Personal Information is obtained by Vollrath from the categories of sources described in our Privacy Policy.
We may use, sell, or disclose the Personal Information we collect for the business or commercial purposes described in our Privacy Policy. Vollrath will not collect additional categories of Personal Information or use the Personal Information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.
Disclosures of Personal Information for a Business or Commercial Purpose
Vollrath may disclose your Personal Information to a third party for business or commercial purposes (not including “sales” of your Personal Information as discussed below). When possible, we enter a contract that describes the purposes and requires these third parties to both keep that Personal Information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.
We share your Personal Information with the categories of third parties described in our Privacy Policy. In the preceding twelve (12) months, Vollrath has disclosed the following categories of Personal Information for a business or commercial purpose:
Category A: Identifiers.
Category B: California Customer Records Personal Information categories.
Category D: Commercial information.
Category F: Internet or other similar network activity.
On an ongoing basis, we may disclose your Personal Information for these purposes to the categories of third parties described in our Privacy Policy.
Sales of Personal Information
As noted in our Privacy Notice, we do not sell your Personal Information, such as your name, address, phone number, and buying history, as the term “sell” is commonly understood to require an exchange of money.
However, the current version of the CCPA states that the common practice use of analytic tools such as Google Analytics, to determine consumer preferences, is a “sale.” Therefore, given this unconventional interpretation and our goal to be as transparent as possible with users of our website, we state that in the preceding twelve (12) months, Vollrath has used cookies and analytical tools such as Google Analytics, to determine consumer preferences. Details about the cookies we use can be found in our Cookie Policy.1
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.
Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights
You have the right to request that Vollrath disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will disclose to you:
Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that Vollrath delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), 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 provider(s) to:
Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request 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.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account.
We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
For instructions on exercising sale opt-out rights, see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights.
Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. 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.
Personal Information Sales Opt-Out
To opt-out of sales of Personal Information, you can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies or mobile device operating system, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you do not consent to our use of cookies or select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Websites or Applications. You can find more information about cookies at http://www.allaboutcookies.org and http://youronlinechoices.eu.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time. We currently do not provide any such financial incentives:
Vollrath reserves the right to amend this California Privacy Addendum as set forth in our Privacy Policy. When we make changes to this California Privacy Addendum, we will inform you of such updates, and such updates will become effective, as described in our Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions or comments about this California Privacy Addendum, the ways in which Vollrath collects and uses your information described in this California Privacy Addendum or in the Privacy Policy, your choices and rights regarding such use, or wish to exercise your rights under California law, please do not hesitate to contact us as described in our Privacy Policy.
