Contents of this Notice
To our knowledge, any sharing of Personal Information does not knowingly involve information related to children under the age of 16.
Shopify Inc.
Our store is hosted by Shopify Inc. (“Shopify”), who provides us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. When you make a purchase through our store, your Personal Information is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application. Shopify stores your data on a highly secure server behind a firewall.
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted by Shopify in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI-DSS”). Your purchase transaction data is stored for only as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of payment card brands including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers. For more information about Shopify, its privacy policy, and its terms of service, please see the below links:

Affiliates
We may share some or all of your Personal Information with "Affiliates" (subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common ownership and/or control), in which case we will require our Affiliates to provide at least the same degree of protection for your Personal Information as we do under this Privacy Policy. If our company or our assets are acquired by another company, that company will possess the Personal Information collected by us and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Additional Information about Disclosures
If we disclose your Personal Information to Affiliates or third parties as identified in this section, we agree to be liable for violations of your privacy rights by the Affiliates and third parties to which we have disclosed your Personal Information.
In addition to the above, we may share your Personal Information with any third party at your instruction or request. That kind of sharing is not for our business purposes, though, and is not included in the above chart.
In certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your Personal Information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, as well as to prevent crime or fraud.
Sales of Your Personal Information
Glow Recipe allows certain companies, who are service providers to Glow Recipe pursuant to written contracts, to place tracking technologies like cookies and pixels on our sites, which allow those companies to receive information about your activity on Glow Recipe that is associated with your browser or device. The companies may use that data to serve you more relevant ads on our sites or others. Under some state laws, sharing data for online advertising like this may be considered a “sale” of information. Except for this kind of sharing, Glow Recipe doesn’t sell any of your information.
To our knowledge, any sales of Personal Information do not knowingly involve information related to children under the age of 16.
You always have full control over whether these technologies work on your devices. You can disable them entirely using our cookie consent preference tools (for instructions, see the section above labelled “Personal Information Collected Via Technology”), or by clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Information” link on our Website.
Additional Legal Notices
How We Protect Your Information
To protect your Personal Information, Glow Recipe has adopted reasonable technical and organizational precautions in addition to following industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
Glow Recipe has implemented industry-standard organizational and electronic means of protecting your Personal Information. We store Personal Information behind a computer firewall, which is a barrier designed to prevent outsiders from accessing our servers. If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer (“SSL”) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. In addition, Glow Recipe protects your Personal Information from unauthorized physical access by storing your Personal Information in a controlled facility. Except as provided elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, Glow Recipe limits access to Personal Information, regardless of if it is stored electronically or in physical form, to those persons (including employees and contractors) in Glow Recipe’s organization who have a business need for such access.
Even though we have taken significant steps to ensure that your Personal Information is not intercepted, accessed, used, or disclosed to or by unauthorized persons, you should know that Glow Recipe cannot completely eliminate security risks associated with Personal Information. We follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards to protect your Personal Information.
Data Retention
We will only keep your information, including any Personal Information, for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, to comply with our legal obligations, or to enforce our legal rights (or as required so others may enforce their legal rights).
Generally, the length of time we keep your information will depend on the type of 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 information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we are processing it and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and any applicable legal requirements.
At the end of the appropriate retention period, we will either delete your information from our systems completely or anonymize it so it can be used without identifying you and so we no longer have the ability to re-associate the anonymized information with you in the future, such as by aggregating the information.
If you would like more information about our retention practices, please contact us using the information provided in the “Contact Us” section below.
Notice Regarding Children
We do not target our Website or Services toward or intentionally gather Personal Information about visitors who are under the age of 18. Furthermore, we do not intentionally allow visitors under the age of 18 to place orders via our Website. If a child under 18 submits Personal Information to us and we learn that the Personal Information is the information of a child under 18, we will attempt to delete that Personal Information as soon as possible. If you believe that we might have any Personal Information from a child under 18, please contact us using the information in the below “Contact Us” section.
By using the Website, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state, province, or country of residence, or that you are the age of majority in your state, province, or country of residence and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Website.
Third-Party Services
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. Certain third-party service providers such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors have their own privacy policies with respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies and terms of service so you can understand the manner in which your Personal Information will be handled by these providers and other important terms and conditions regarding your use of their services.
In particular, please remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you choose to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your Personal Information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under U.S. laws, including the PATRIOT Act. We require service providers acting as processors on our behalf to take additional measures to protect your information from interception except due to a valid legal process and have no reason to believe that any U.S. government agency has intercepted any of our customer information without following valid legal processes. We take your privacy seriously, oppose unauthorized interception of our customer’s Personal Information, and work to ensure that valid legal processes are followed in order to protect you and your Personal Information as best as possible.
Links To Other Sites
If we have provided a link to any other website or location, it is for your convenience and does not signify our endorsement of such other website or location or its contents. We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for these outside websites or their content. Please be aware that the terms of our Privacy Policy do not apply to these outside websites.
Once you leave our Website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Website’s Terms of Service. For your convenience, we may provide pop-up banners or notices in some instances when you leave our Website or are directed to a third-party website or application, but we make no representations that we will provide such notice for all third-party links on our Website.
When you click on links on our store, they may direct you away from our Website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.
Privacy Policy Updates
We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at our discretion and at any time. If we change the way we collect, use, or disclosure your Personal Information that require us to make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post a notice on this page and update the Privacy Policy’s effective date. Your continued use of our Website following any posted updates to the Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of such changes. If you object to any of the changes to our Privacy Policy, you must stop using the Website.

Other California Privacy Rights
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 send an email to [email protected] or contact us using the information provided in the “Contact Us” section.
NEVADA
If you are a resident of the State of Nevada, you have the right to request that Glow Recipe not sell the Personal Information we currently have about you or that we might collect about you in the future. Although it is currently Glow Recipe’s policy not to sell our consumers’ Personal Information as a “sale” is defined under Nevada law, if you would like to register an email address with Glow Recipe to request that we not sell your Personal Information now or in the future, please follow the link under “Exercising US Privacy Rights and Choices” and provide the requested information.
EXERCISING US PRIVACY RIGHTS AND CHOICES
If you are a resident of California or Nevada and would like to exercise any of the privacy rights made available in the state where you are a resident, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
- Calling us at (800) 866-1885; OR
- Emailing us at [email protected] with the subject line “Privacy Rights Request.”
Please also note that you are currently only permitted to submit one type of request at a time on the above webform. If you would like to submit multiple request types, please submit a separate form for each and we will work with you to process the requests in an appropriate order. For example, if you submit a deletion request and later submit a data portability request, we may have already deleted your Personal Information from our systems and will be unable to fulfill your data portability request.
Additionally, if you have an account on our Website, you may immediately access some of the information that we have collected about you by logging into your account on the Website and navigating to your user profile. Viewing your information through your account on our Website may not provide you with all of the information to which you are entitled.
Only you, or where allowed by applicable law someone legally authorized 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. If permitted by applicable law, to designate an authorized agent, you must authorize that agent to act on your behalf and the authorized agent must provide a copy of that written authorization when submitting their request on your behalf.
The verifiable consumer request must:
- Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative, which may include:
- Your first and last name;
- Email address(es);
- Street address; and,
- Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
Based on the information you have provided, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to verify your identity against the information already in our systems. In the event we cannot verify your identity, we may request additional information from you so that we may complete your request in compliance with the requirements of applicable law. Please note that if you do not provide the required information, we may not be able to complete your rights request and will be required to deny it.
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.
You do not need to create an account with us to exercise the rights made available to you the applicable privacy laws. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
In some instances, we may deny your request in part in order to continue to provide you with requested benefits from Glow Recipe. For example, if you are a member of our Glow Rewards loyalty program and you send us a request to delete your Personal Information, we may be required to partially reject the request with account identifiers in order to continue to provide you with access to your loyalty rewards. We carefully consider each request to balance your request against our on-going need to retain certain pieces of your Personal Information in order to provide the other services you have requested from us.
RIGHTS AND CHOICES FOR EU, EEA, AND UK CONSUMERS
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, your local laws provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your Personal Information.

Cross-Border Transfers
Glow Recipe is a company located in the United States. If Personal Information is collected on our behalf from residents of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, that information may be transferred to the United States, which is not subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. If Personal Information is transferred to the United States, those transfers will be subject to legal transfer mechanisms that may include the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK’s International Data Transfer Addendum to the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Glow Recipe adopts additional measures to protect your Personal Information during cross-border transfers including encryption in transit.
Lawful Bases for Processing

Exercising Your GDPR or UK-GDPR Rights

- Your first and last name;

- Your country or countries of citizenship; and,
- A brief description of your request, which can be based on the above list.
Because we do not want your Personal Information to be exposed to someone else, we will make a reasonable effort to confirm your identity before processing your request. This identity confirmation effort may come directly from us or from a trusted vendor.
Glow Recipe will only use the Personal Information you provide in connection with your request to check our systems and confirm whether we possess any of your Personal Information and to process any Personal Information access or management requests we receive from you. After we have completed reviewing your request, we may store the information we provide to you for a reasonable amount of time after fulfilling your request in case you have additional inquiries. After the information is no longer necessary, we will automatically delete this information from our records or make it permanently unreadable (masked data).
Any contact information provided in connection with a request to exercise your rights related to your Personal Information will not be used for direct marketing purposes and will not be shared with others unless necessary to verify your identity and/or complete your request.
Response Timing and Format
We will do our best to respond to your request as soon as possible, and, in any event, no later than 30 days after receiving your request. Please note that making multiple requests at one time may slow down our processing of your request. If additional time is required to complete your request, we will notify you of that fact and the reasons why we require additional time to fully respond to your particular request.
In certain circumstances, where we are able to do so, some requests may need to be fulfilled in a logical order. For example, if you request to see what information Glow Recipe has about you and at the same time request that Glow Recipe erase your Personal Information, we will first provide you with access to your Personal Information, then we may ask you to confirm again that you would like us to delete that information.
In some circumstances, we may not be able to comply with your requests related to your Personal Information. In those cases, we will respond as soon as possible, and, in any event, no later than 30 days after receiving your request. Our response will let you know if and why we are not able to comply and will share information with you about how you can object to the relevant Supervisory Authorities if you think our continued use or maintenance of that information is improper.
How to Complain
If you have any concerns about our use of your Personal Information, you can make a complaint to use using the information contained in the “Contact Us” section below. We request please contact us first so we can try to resolve your concerns. We are committed to working with you to obtain a fair resolution to any complaint or concern you may have about our use of your Personal Information.
If, however, you believe that we have not been able to assist with your request, complaint, or concern, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country (if one exists in your country) or supervisory authority.

The Types of Information We Collect
We collect information that identifies, relates to, is reasonably capable of being associated with a particular living person or household (“Personal Information”). Privacy laws around the world describe Personal Information using a number of different terms, including personal data and personally identifiable information. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, we use the term Personal Information with the intention that it be interpreted to mean the same thing as these other terms. If there is a specific type of Personal Information that has its own definition, we will provide that definition and use that name specifically (such as Sensitive Personal Information).
Various privacy laws exclude certain types of information from the respective definitions of Personal Information. For your awareness, Personal Information does not include:
- Publicly available information from government records;
- Deidentified or aggregated consumer information; or,
- Information excluded from the scope of applicable privacy laws (including the CCPA and GDPR), like: health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data;
- Personal Information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994.
The privacy laws also refer to the individuals or households from which Personal Information is collected a number of ways, including as data subjects or consumers. We use the term “consumer” in this Privacy Policy to avoid using unnecessarily abstract terms, but that term, as we use it, is the same as a data subject and includes customers, job applicants, and our business-to-business contacts. Please note that if you are an employee of Glow Recipe, or their dependent or emergency contact, a separate privacy policy applies to you and is available through Glow Recipe’s human resources information systems. If you do not have access to those systems, please contact us for assistance by using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.
We have chosen to disclose this information broadly so that all of Glow Recipe’s consumers are aware of our privacy practices, however, subject to the law where you reside, only certain categories of consumers may be able to exercise the rights described in the “Your Privacy Rights and Choices” section below.
The below chart contains a category of Personal Information labelled “Sensitive Personal Information.” Under the applicable privacy laws, Sensitive Personal Information means Personal Information that reveals: (1) a consumer’s social security, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number; (2) a consumer’s account log-in, financial information, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; (3) a consumer’s precise geolocation (within a circle with a radius of 1,850 or less); (4) a consumer’s racial or ethnic origin, religious of philosophical beliefs, or union membership; (5) the contents of a consumer’s mail, email, and text messages unless the business is the intended recipient of the communication; or, (6) a consumer’s genetic data. Sensitive Personal Information also include: (a) the processing of biometric information for the purpose of uniquely identifying a consumer; (b) Personal Information collected and analyzed concerning a consumer’s health (mental or physical); and, (c) Personal Information collected and analyzed concerning a consumer’s sex life or sexual orientation.
With respect to California consumers, please note that we do not collect information considered “Sensitive Personal Information” as those laws are drafted. Glow Recipe does not use this information to develop inferences about you and, as such, this information is only treated as Personal Information under California law. Regardless of your state of residence, if we collect any Sensitive Personal Information about you, we do not use that information to draw inferences.
In particular, in the prior 12 months we have collected the following categories of Personal Information from the listed categories of consumers:
Please note that there are places on our Website where a third party can provide your Personal Information (or you can provide a third party’s Personal Information). If you provide a third party’s Personal Information through the use of these features, you are making a representation that you have that third party’s permission to provide their Personal Information and that they have agreed to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Where such features are made available, Glow Recipe will only use that information for the purpose for which it is given and does not otherwise store or use that information.

A pixel is a tiny image that is loaded when you visit our Website or open our marketing emails, 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 Website 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 Website; (2) to ensure and maintain the security of our Website; (3) to collect anonymous, statistical data regarding how visitors interact with the Website; and, (4) for marketing purposes. We also utilize the tools available through Google Analytics in order to monitor site flow and statistical data regarding our Website users.
The cookies that we use for functionality and security purposes are considered Functional or Necessary cookies, without which the Site would not function properly. These cookies allow some of the basic functions of our Website to work properly, such as remembering your preferences as you navigate the Website. In addition, these cookies help us secure the Websites 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 Website and to track repeat visits to our Website. While these cookies collect information regarding how you use our Website in order to help us understand site flow and improve our website, all such statistical data is anonymous and does not personally identify you. These types of cookies are Performance Cookies.
Finally, we use both cookies and pixels on our Website 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 Website visitors, to track the particular advertisements that have been displayed to you, to collect data regarding how you interact with YouTube videos across different websites, to estimate your bandwidth on pages with integrated YouTube videos, 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 behavior across websites. These types of cookies are either Social Media or Targeting Cookies.
You have the option to manage the cookies we use in connection with the Website through the cookie consent settings and preferences centers made available to you on the Website. In addition to using our preference centers, you can use your browser settings to opt-out of most categories of cookies, with the exception of Strictly Necessary Cookies. Some browsers allow a “do not track” (DNT) setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser will send a special signal to Website, analytics companies, ad networks, plug-in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing and stop tracking your activity. To set up DNT, you can visit the All About DNT page. If you do choose to set up DNT, we will automatically turn off all non-required cookies on Glow Recipe’s Website for you. Please note that this may impact the functionality of our Website or your account.
Several of the companies that utilize cookies or other tracking or monitoring mechanisms enable you to opt out of advertising through mechanisms established by trade groups. To learn more about how to opt out of targeting and advertising cookies, you can go to the Your Online Choices page, the Network Advertising Initiative page, and the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Choice page. These opt-out tools are provided by third parties, not Glow Recipe. We do not control or operate these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools.
Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a technical specification that you can use to inform websites of your privacy preferences in regard to ad trackers. To set up GPC, you can visit the Global Privacy Control page. If you do choose to set up GPC, we will automatically turn off all non-required cookies on Glow Recipe’s Website for you. Please note that this may impact the functionality of our Website.

Deidentified Information does not permit the identification of individual persons. We may use this Deidentified Information to analyze request patterns and usage patterns so that we may enhance our products and services. Glow Recipe reserves the right to use and disclose Deidentified Information to third parties in its discretion, however, we will maintain and use the information in deidentified form and will not attempt to reidentify the information, or authorize any third party to reidentify the information, except in connection with determining whether the deidentification processes satisfy the requirements of applicable privacy laws.
How We Share Your Personal Information
We may disclose your Personal Information to a third party for a business purpose, specifically to enable and support the uses of your Personal Information described in the “How We Use Your Personal Information” section above. When we disclose Personal Information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that Personal Information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.
While Glow Recipe does not typically sell Personal Information, some states interpret the sharing of Personal Information with third party service providers for online advertising may be considered a “sale” of information. For example, we allow third parties, such as Facebook and Google, to place technologies (such as cookies) on our websites for purposes of marketing to users of our websites. Except for this kind of sharing, Glow Recipe doesn’t sell any of your information. In the interest of full disclosure, we have indicated when your Personal Information may be considered a “sale” in certain states, such as California, but want to assure you that most states do not consider this sharing a sale and otherwise we do not sell Personal Information. For more details, please read the “Sales of Your Personal Information” section below.
