Statement of Privacy

As an E-commerce Web site Sun Produce Cooperative collects personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. Information collected by Sun Produce Cooperative is used solely for the purpose of billing and shipping your online purchases. Sun Produce Cooperative does not collect any information about your computer hardware and software.

SPC encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from Sun Produce Cooperative so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. We are not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Sun Produce Cooperative web site.

Sun Produce Cooperative and its operational service partners collect and use your personal information to process product orders and deliver the products requested. It is possible that Sun Produce Cooperative may also use personal information to inform you of other products or services available from SPC and its affiliates. Sun Produce Cooperative may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Sun Produce Cooperative does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Sun Produce Cooperative may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your personal information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.

We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

Sun Produce Cooperative does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

Sun Produce Cooperative may access and/or disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Sun Produce Cooperative or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Sun Produce Cooperative, including its web site; or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Sun Produce Cooperative or the public.

Personal information collected on this site may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which SPC or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using this site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.

Sun Produce Cooperative abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union.

Sun Produce Cooperative is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access that are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card number) over the Internet, we use a secure payment gateway so your information is protected.

If there are material changes to this Statement or in how SPC will use your personal information, Sun Produce Cooperative will prominently post such changes prior to implementing the change.
