PRIVACY POLICY

WE CARE ABOUT YOUR PRIVACY

This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes the policies and procedures of Chubby Gorilla, Inc. and Chubby Gorilla Europe B.V. (together, “Chubby Gorilla,” “us,” “we” or “our”) relating to the information we collect when you visit this website (www.chubbygorilla.com), contact us for business opportunities, or engage our services (collectively, “Services”).  We presently provide our Services only to other businesses, and do not directly sell our products to consumers.  Individual consumers should not provide their information to us on our website or otherwise.  Instead, please reach out to an authorized online retailer or distributor to purchase our products.

The creation of this Privacy Policy grows from our fundamental respect for the right to privacy of the persons who engage our Services and will serve to guide our relationship with you.  We value the privacy and security of your “personal data,” which as used herein means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.  Personal data does not include information that does not and cannot identify you, such as data that has been aggregated or anonymized.   

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to provide you with a description of our personal data collection, use, and disclosure practices.  If you provide us with your personal data, or we obtain personal data about you from other sources, we treat your personal data according to this Privacy Policy.

Lastly, we may transfer to a third party personal information as an asset that is part of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other transaction in which the third party assumes control of all or part of our business.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We have implemented and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices, and commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures, to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk in order to help protect your personal data from unauthorized access and exfiltration, theft, or disclosure.  However, no security system is perfect.  We will notify you if there is a breach of our security where required by law or deemed necessary.
