Privacy Policy

12/31/2021

Our mission is to refresh the world, and we can’t do that without your trust, so we’re providing you with the information below to show you exactly what data we collect from you and how we use that data to deliver the best, most refreshing experience we can. 

This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information that we collect through activities that link to this Privacy Policy including websites (our “Websites”) and any mobile sites, applications, widgets, and other mobile interactive features (collectively, our “Apps”), through other services that we may offer in connections with our Websites and Apps, such as promotions, rewards programs, through our official social media pages that we control (our “Social Media Pages”), as well as through HTML-formatted email messages that we send to you (collectively, including the Social Media Pages, Apps and Websites, the “Sites”).

By providing Personal Information to us, you agree to and explicitly consent to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

We take privacy seriously, but more importantly, we take our relationship with you seriously.


PERSONAL INFORMATION

“Personal Information” generally means any information that identifies you as an individual, and any other information we associate with it. We collect a few categories of information, from a few different sources:

1. Profile information and other content you voluntarily provide us, which may include:

  • User name and password
  • Contact information when you register on our Sites, such as your name, street address, demographic information (such as your gender), age, date of birth, mobile and home phone number, and/or email address. 
  • You may also provide us information about other people, such as when you direct us to send a gift on your behalf.
  • Any content or contributions you post in a public space on the Sites. This includes comments, videos and photos that you might submit. If you contact us through a social media site, we may collect your social media identifier.
  • Any information you provide in communications with us, such as via social media, e-mail or our customer call center.
  • Payment information, such as when you make a purchase with us or make a donation or contribution and we need your billing information to process the transaction.

2. Information that is passively collected when you use the Sites, such as by our web servers and by third party analytics tools we use:

  • Our system logs may record certain information about visitors to our Sites, including the web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, device and mobile ad identifiers, browser information, interaction with the Sites, pages viewed, app usage, and other such information; we may collect similar information from emails you receive from us that can help us track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients.
  • We use certain cookies, pixel tags and other technologies to help us understand how you use the Sites and enable us to personalize your experience. We may ask advertisers or other third party partners to serve ads or services to your devices, which rely on cookies or similar technologies placed on our Sites.
  • We may detect the physical location of your device by, for example, using GPS information collected by mobile apps or location information shared by your web browser. We collect this information for purposes of enhancing or facilitating our services, such as enabling certain functionalities of the Sites that can provide you with information about promotions or relevant product information near you. We may use your device’s physical location to better understand how our Sites and other services and functionality are being used and to provide you with relevant and personalized location-based services and content, including advertising. Should you wish to opt out of the collection of this information, please adjust the settings of your device so that information about your physical location is not sent to us or third parties by (a) disabling location services within the device settings; or (b) denying certain websites or mobile applications permission to access location information by changing the relevant preferences and permissions in your mobile device or browser settings. Please note that your location may be derived from your WiFi, Bluetooth, and other device settings. Please consult your device settings for further information.

3. We may receive information from third parties such as advertising and marketing partners, public databases, and social media platforms, to supplement the information we receive from our consumers. If we do so, this policy governs how we can use that information.

4. In addition to collecting Personal Information, we may collect information that does not identify you and is not associated with your Personal Information. We may also de-identify or anonymize information so it no longer identifies you. We can aggregate and use such information to engage in marketing and other activities in a manner that protects our consumers since it does not use their Personal Information and is outside the scope of this Privacy Policy.

We may use Personal Information as permitted by law, for the following business purposes:

  • to respond to your inquiries and fulfill your requests
  • to communicate with you about and to process orders, purchases, returns, services, donations, promotions, campaigns, programs, contests, sweepstakes, rewards and accounts
  • to inform you about our brands, products, promotions, events or other promotional purposes
  • to re-contact you if we have not heard from you in a while
  • to send you advertising/promotional material from any of our affiliates, and on behalf of our promotional and strategic partners

If you submit any Personal Information relating to other people in connection with the Sites, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.


How Personal Information May Be Disclosed

1. To the extent permitted by law, all of your Personal Information may be disclosed with the following categories of third parties:

  • to our affiliates for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy
  • to our third-party service providers who provide services such as website hosting, data analysis, payment processing, order fulfillment, infrastructure provision, IT services, customer service, email delivery services, credit card processing, auditing services and other services, to enable them to provide services
  • to a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings)
  • in connection with the essential purposes described above (e.g., to comply with legal obligations)

2. To the extent permitted by law, your name and contact information (and other information you make public) may be disclosed with the following categories of third parties:

  • to third-party strategic partners with whom we may enter into a special relationship for promotional activities, where permitted by law
  • to third parties in connection with certain promotions or marketing activities you may participate in. To the extent that a promotion’s rules concerning the treatment of your Personal Information are stricter than this Privacy Policy, the promotion’s rules apply.

3. To the extent permitted by law, information that is passively collected when you use the Sites may be disclosed with the following categories of third parties:

  • our online and email advertisers or other third-party vendors we use who may provide cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs or other similar technologies for use on our Sites or other websites to manage and improve our online and email advertising campaigns.

For example, a vendor (e.g., Google, Facebook) may provide us with certain digital advertising pixels or other tools to recognize their cookies during your visit to the Sites and to learn which of our online advertisements may have brought you to our Sites, or to serve you with advertisements for Coca‑Cola products after you leave the Sites. These third-party vendors may also use other digital advertising tools, as well as your Personal Information, to recognize you across the devices and online services you use.


THIRD PARTY SITES

The Sites may link to third party websites, mobile applications, payment portals and online services or platforms. These links are provided for your convenience only. We have no control over such third parties and are not responsible for the content, availability, or security of third parties. Third parties may use your information for their own purposes, including behavioral or advertising purposes. If you decide to access any of the third party links available on the Sites, or if you provide Personal Information through these third party sites, app, or platforms, you do so subject to the privacy policies and terms and conditions of use of the owner or operator, and not this Privacy Policy.


Transferring your Personal Information

We may transfer your personal information to servers located outside the country in which you live or to affiliates or other trusted third parties based in other countries so that they may process personal information on our behalf. By using a Site or otherwise providing us with Personal Information, you agree to us doing so in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws and regulations.

You should be aware that many countries do not afford the same legal protection to personal information as you might enjoy in your country of origin. While your Personal Information is in another country, it may be accessed by the courts, law enforcement and national security authorities in that country in accordance with its laws. Subject to such lawful access requests, we will ensure that anyone processing your Personal Information outside your country of origin is required to implement measures to protect it and is only entitled to process it in accordance with our instructions.


SECURITY

We use standard physical, technical and administrative measures designed to reduce the risk of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure or modification of your Personal Information. Unfortunately, no system or network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us in accordance with the “Contacting Us” section below (note that physical mail notification will delay the time it takes for us to respond to the problem).


YOUR CHOICES AND ACCESS RIGHTS

Your choices regarding our use and disclosure of your Personal Information 

  • You can opt out of receiving promotional emails and mailing by informing us of your preferences when you sign up for a Coca‑Cola account or modifying your promotional preferences online in your profile account management section.

In addition, you may let us know as directed below in the “Contacting Us” section. Please specify which types of communications you no longer wish to receive, and the relevant telephone number, address, and/or e-mail address. If you do opt-out of receiving marketing-related messages from us, we may still send you important administrative messages, such as emails about your accounts.
  • We will not disclose your Personal Information to third parties if we have received and processed a request from you not to do so. To submit such a request, please contact us by sending us a message as directed below in the “Contacting Us” section. Note that we may continue to share your Personal Information with our affiliates, service providers, for essential purposes described above and other such circumstances.

Please note that it may take additional time to verify and fulfill agent-submitted requests.

If you have an account with us, you may also make certain changes directly through your account profile page. Please note that changes you make on your account profile page through one of our Sites may not always be reflected on other Sites operated by us.


RETENTION PERIOD

We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by for legal, auditing, or compliance purposes.
