How we collect personal information


We obtain Personal Information in a variety of ways, sometimes through a platform that is owned, operated, or “powered by” third-party partners or service providers (collectively, our “Partners”). In connection with your interactions with us through the Services, we may collect Personal Information from you or from other sources.

This information may either be Personal Information or Anonymous Information, depending on the collection source.


In some instances, Chestnut Bakery may also collect information from third party sources, upon whom we rely to provide the Services. We use both business partners and service providers, such as payment processors and analytics providers, to perform services on our behalf. Some of these Partners may have access to information about you that we may or may not otherwise have (for example, where you sign up directly with that provider) and may share some or all of that information with us. In response to public health guidance or mandates from government authorities, we may collect health information from our customers as we are required or deem appropriate to provide a safe space for you and our employees.


We use the following third-party services in order to provide the best user experience to you:


when you order online via the Site your identity and registration information will be processed by us, and your contact details will also be collected so we can communicate with you about your order if required.

when you use the Mobile App your identity, contact information, and registration information will be processed by us. when you use our in-store wireless internet service, we will ask to collect identity and contact information, as well as marketing preferences. Further to this, technical information about the device you use will also be captured to facilitate the service.

Network Advertising Initiative: https://www.networkadvertising.org/ 


In addition to cookies, Chestnut Bakery uses “pixels” to enable certain cookies or advertisements on the Site and to track the number of times a link or advertisement is served on a webpage. A pixel is a tiny, 1×1 image that is loaded when you visit our Site, but instead of calling up an image, it causes a cookie or application to be downloaded. Pixels can be used to track user activities, track the number of times a user has viewed a particular link or advertisement, track and optimize website traffic, display advertisements, keep track of advertising commissions, and otherwise collect data for online marketing and website analysis. As with cookies, our Site utilizes both session pixels and persistent pixels.


We also use cookies and tracking/marketing pixels for four general purposes: (1) to ensure the functionality, optimization, and ease of use of our Site; (2) to ensure and maintain the security of our Site; (3) to collect anonymous, statistical data regarding how visitors interact with the Site; and, (4) for marketing purposes.


The cookies that we use for functionality and security purposes are considered necessary cookies, without which the Site would not function properly. These cookies allow some of the basic functions of our Site to work properly, such as remembering your preferences as you navigate the Site. In addition, these cookies help us secure the Site by preventing cross-site request forgery attacks and by throttling excessive request rates.


We also use cookies to collect statistical information regarding how visitors interact with our Site and to track repeat visits to our Site. While these cookies collect information regarding how you use our Site in order to help us understand site flow and improve the Site, all such statistical data is anonymous and does not personally identify you.


Finally, we use both cookies and pixels on our Site for marketing purposes, including: to check whether your browser supports the use of cookies, to deliver general advertisements from third party advertisers, to present targeted advertisements to particular Site visitors, to track the particular advertisements that have been displayed to you, to track your browser activity across devices and marketing channels, to track the actions you take after viewing an advertisement in order to measure the efficacy of the advertisement, and to display particular advertisements in order to re-engage visitors that are likely to convert to customers based on those visitors’ online behaviour across websites.


We also use Google Analytics on our Site to collect usage data, to analyze how users use the Site, and to provide advertisements to you on other websites. This information is anonymous and does not include personal information. Please visit the following website for information about how you can opt out of having Google Analytics collect data from you when you are using the Site: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/ 


Any automatically collected information is statistical, aggregated, or Anonymous Information and does not include personal information.


Please note that our Site is not configured to accept and respond to web browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals. As such, if you would like to exercise your privacy rights, we encourage you to do so by submitting a request using the methods described below.

How we protect your personal information


We have put in place appropriate technological and organizational security measures to help prevent your Personal Information from being accidentally lost, used, altered, accessed, or disclosed in an unauthorized way. In addition, we limit access to your Personal Information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your Personal Information on our instructions and subject to a duty of confidentiality.


We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.


The safety and security of your information also depends on you. If you choose, or are provided with, a user name, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to the Services, or any portion thereof, using your user name, password, or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session.

You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the information you hold for your user name, password, or other information related to your account. You may be held liable for losses incurred by us as a result of your failing to keep your login information secure and confidential.


Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information when it is received by us, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to our Services. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for any circumvention of any privacy settings or security measured related to the Services.


How long personal information is kept


We will only keep your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it or to enable us to comply with our legal obligations or enforce our legal rights.


Generally, the length of time we keep your Personal Information will depend on the type of Personal Information and the purpose for which we are processing it. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.


At the end of the retention period, we will either delete your Personal Information from our systems completely, or anonymize it so it can be used without identifying you and without the ability to be re-associated with you in the future, such as by aggregating the information.
