You may also have the right to limit certain uses or disclosures of your information.

Information Security

We are also concerned with the security of your personal information and take great care in implementing appropriate physical, technical, and administrative controls to protect your personal information.

The principal types of information we collect and reasons for our collection of the information, as well as the ways we may use the information, are listed below. 

Business Purposes – On our animal health and nutrition websites, you may be able to register using your personal information in connection with the products and services we offer. We use these details to facilitate your use of the websites and to provide you with products and services that you request. You may also choose to provide, or we may obtain, your personal information at trade shows or from our distributors.

Careers – Individuals apply for jobs with Compana through our animal health and nutrition websites, third-party job posting sites, job fairs, or directly to various business locations. The personal information job seekers provide through this process is often maintained by third-party service providers. This personal information may be maintained by third parties, accessible to our recruiting team, and shared with our corporate divisions and entities for the purpose of evaluating job seekers for permanent and temporary positions within our company. The personal information submitted by job seekers, such as name, contact details, resume and job history information, and any other information relevant to the application is used to evaluate job seekers’ qualifications for employment and to contact them regarding possible employment opportunities. It is in our legitimate business interests to use this personal information in the selection process and to communicate with job seekers, and it is necessary to provide us with this personal information so that we can evaluate job seekers’ applications.

Marketing Efforts – We may use information that we collect from you or from third parties to send you marketing and sales communications, including via email or text, where you have opted into receiving SMS communications. We send you these communications information to provide you with information about our products and marketing or sales updates that we think you may be interested in. You may unsubscribe or elect to stop receiving marketing communications from us at any time by opting out using the mechanism set forth in the communication (usually, clicking “unsubscribe” or texting “STOP”), or by contacting us using the information set out below in the “How to Contact Us” section.

Contact – You may contact us with questions, requests, or comments through the “Contact” link on each of our animal health and nutrition websites or via the contact information provided in the “How to Contact Us” section of this Data Privacy Notice.

We also may contact you to provide you with updates about your order or services you have requested from us, or changes regarding the terms and conditions or policies applicable to your use of our website and services.

Contractual Obligations – If you are a vendor or an independent contractor, we may ask you to provide personal information such as your name, contact details, or business and financial details to establish and administer your account, process payments, and for compliance with internal and legal requirements.

Information Technology Security – We may collect personal information when detecting and defending against security threats in accordance with our legitimate business interests and our legal obligations. We use various IT tools to detect and defend against online security threats (e.g., attacks, viruses, malware, spam, phishing, malicious web content, etc.), to promote business continuity of our information systems and assets, and to maintain optimal performance of our systems.

Other Uses of Information – We may use personal information for internal general business purposes in accordance with our legitimate business interests. These purposes include administration of our animal health and nutrition websites, data analytics, fraud prevention, and compliance with our legal obligations, standards, policies, and procedures (i.e., due diligence checks and denied party screening, where necessary). At times, we may also collect and use information for other purposes described to you at the time we collect your information. We will obtain your explicit consent to collect and use certain types of personal information when we are required to do so by law.

Information We Collect by Automated Means    

When you visit and interact with our animal health and nutrition websites, we may automatically collect information that does not inherently reveal your specific identity but may be considered personal information when combined with other information. We use this information in order to learn how to best tailor our websites for our visitors’ needs, and to provide you with more relevant content such as behavioral targeted advertisements. Examples of this information we and third-party service providers may collect and use this information includes:

Aggregated Information – Aggregated user information does not personally identify you or any other user (for example, we may aggregate user information to calculate the percentage of our users who come from a particular region of the country). Aggregated data is treated strictly in accordance with this Data Privacy Notice.

Browser and Device Information – Certain information is collected by most browsers or automatically through your device, such as your computer type, operating system, name and version, device manufacturer and model, Internet browser type and version, and the name and version of the online services you are using. We use this information to ensure that our animal health and nutrition websites function properly and to secure our websites against cyberattacks and intrusions.

IP Address – Your IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). An IP address may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user accesses the online services, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice and is done automatically by many websites, applications, and other services. We use IP addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels, diagnosing server problems, administering our online services, and securing our websites against cyberattacks. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address to understand which regions of the United States visitors of our animal health and nutrition websites visit from.

Cookies – Cookies are pieces of information stored directly on the computer or mobile device that you are using. Cookies allow us to collect information such as browser type, time spent online, pages visited, products viewed, referring URL, and other aggregated website traffic data. We and our service providers use the information for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, to display information more effectively, to collect statistical information, and to personalize your experience while online and on one of our animal health and nutrition websites. For more information about our use of Cookies, please visit our Cookie Policy at https://www.mannapro.com/cookie-policy.

Pixel Tags or Similar Technologies – Pixel tags (also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) may be used in connection with some online services to, among other things, track the actions of users of the online services (including email recipients), measure the success of our marketing campaigns and compile statistics about usage of the online services and response rates. We also use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of our services and report on activities and trends. These services may collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps, and online resources. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and opt-out by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Links to Other Sites   

Our animal health and nutrition websites and communications may on occasion provide links to other websites, including to social networks or business partners that may use our logo(s) as part of a co-marketing effort. To the extent that any linked products or services are not provided by Compana or our brands, we are not responsible for the products or services, privacy and data collection, use and sharing practices, or any of the content found on these websites. If you provide information on and use third-party services or websites, the privacy policy and terms of service on those websites are applicable.

If we become aware of an incident affecting your personal information, we will investigate and comply with all required reporting obligations.

We will keep your personal information for as long as we have an a relationship with you. Once our relationship with you has come to an end, we will retain your personal information only for a period of time that enables us to:

  • Maintain business records for analysis and/or audit purposes;
  • Comply with record retention requirements under the law;
  • Defend or bring any existing or potential legal claims; and
  • Address any complaints regarding our products or services.

We will delete your personal information, or de-identify or aggregate your personal information so that it is no longer personally identifiable when it is no longer required for these purposes. If there is any information that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our systems, we will put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further processing or use of the personal information.

Please note that you have the right to request that personal information collected from you be erased and forgotten before the end of our information retention periods.

International Transfers of Personal Information

Compana is a global organization - headquartered in the United States – that does business in many countries, including the United Kingdom.  While Compana has an affiliate entity located in the United Kingdom, Compana does not share or receive consumer data from this entity. However, Compana may share your personal information with our service providers and other business partners, some of which may be located in countries outside of the jurisdiction in which you reside. Although the data protection laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside may differ from those in the jurisdiction to which your information is transferred, we have put in place appropriate safeguards (such as contractual commitments) to ensure that your personal information is handled as described in this Data Privacy Notice and in accordance with the law. For more information on the appropriate safeguards in place, please contact us via the contact information provided in the “How to Contact Us” section of this Data Privacy Notice.

We encourage you to contact us to update or correct your information if it changes or if you believe the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate.  Please note that we will likely require additional information from you in order to verify your identity and respond to your requests.

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable California consumer request, 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 providers to:

  • Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a product or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.

  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Opt-out of the Sale of Personal Information

As of January 1, 2020, California consumers have the right to opt out of the sale (or disclosure for other valuable consideration) of personal information about them or their household, such as (though not limited to) their name, postal or email address, and other personally identifying information.

This right is subject to certain exemptions. For example, the law does not apply to information that has been aggregated and/or de-identified such that it could not reasonably be used to identify you. It also does not apply to information that we share with third-party service providers in order for them to perform certain business functions for us.

If you would like to opt out, you may use the “Do Not Sell My Information” button, or by calling us at 800.690.9908, or by writing us at privacy@companapetbrands.com.

Children below the age of thirteen (13) may only consent to the sale of personal information with parental consent. For more information on information collected from children generally, please visit the “Children” section above.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, knowledge, data portability, deletion, and opt-out rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either by calling us at 800.690.9908, or by writing us at privacy@companapetbrands.com.

Only you or (a) a natural person that you authorize to act on your behalf or (b) a business entity 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. To authorize an agent to submit a request on your behalf, we will require that you provide written evidence that you have granted the authorized agent permission to make such a request, and we will verify your identity.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. 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.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to 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. Making a verifiable California consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.  We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you products or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for products or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of products or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for products or services or a different level or quality of products or services.
  • However, we may charge you a different price or rate, or provide a different level or quality of products or services to you, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to you by the use of your personal information.

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of a California consumer request within ten (10) days of receipt and provide information regarding how we will process the request. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to ninety (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.
