Profiling

As part of certain promotions located within the United States, we may collect personal data about you (i.e. location data, product interest and other information) that you provide us when you create an account on our platforms.  We centralize this data and analyze it to evaluate and predict your personal preferences and/or interests.  Based on our analysis, we send communications and/or content (i.e. digital advertising) tailored to your preferences.

When we send personalized communications or content, we may use some techniques qualified as “profiling” (i.e. any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of using those data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s personal preferences, interests, economic situation, behavior, location, health, reliability, or movements).   

You can update and delete your information through your platform account at any time.  You also have the right to object to the use of your data for “profiling” in certain circumstances. Please see "How can I exercise my rights regarding my personal data?" section below.

How do we collect your personal data?

Generally, we collect any information you or a member of your household voluntarily share with us directly, through technology on Tyson-owned property or administered on Tyson’s behalf, but we may also collect data from other sources. For example, we may collect the following:

  • Information about your browsing or search history from cookies or other tracking technologies to collect and process information about you when you interact with us through our website or email
  • Location data when you contact us via a mobile device, where you have enabled the option to provide location data
  • Conversations with our customer service that may be recorded to improve the quality of our service
  • Information from publicly available sources (e.g. news sources and/or from social media platforms)
  • Information you provide if you sign up to receive marketing communications or offers from us, otherwise contact us, or participate in a promotion or request information
  • Information shared by a third party with whom we parent and you have contacted and authorized the sharing of your information with us for direct marketing or advertising purposes

Is your personal data transferred outside of your home country?

As we are a global company, your personal data may be processed by Tyson, its affiliates, and other third parties described herein in countries other than the country of which you are a resident.  Personal data may be sent to countries with different privacy laws than the country of your residence. Because the law in some of these countries does not provide the same level of protection, we implement appropriate safeguards and take measures to ensure adequate mechanisms are in place to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws.  We have data transfer agreements in place, which are considered appropriate safeguards implementing approved Standard Contractual Clauses to secure the transfer of your personal data to other jurisdictions.  You can receive further information about the data transfer agreement by referencing the contact information below.

How do we protect your personal data?

We have implemented appropriate physical, technical, and organizational security measures designed to secure your personal data against accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. We also limit access to personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties that have a legitimate business need for such access.

How long do we keep your personal data?

Except as required by applicable law or regulation or as needed in connection with legal action or an investigation, we will only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, as required to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, or as necessary to resolve disputes. 

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider applicable legal requirements, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes we process your personal data for, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means. We specify the retention periods for your personal data in our data retention policy. 

 Generally, this means your personal data will be retained for the duration of your relationship with us for the period necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. You may request the deletion of your personal data. The request will be evaluated, in accordance with the retention periods of personal data defined by us, for the fulfillment of any legal, regulatory obligation, or regular exercise of law where the maintenance of the data is authorized by applicable law or regulation. Personal data may also be kept for as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to be used as a means of proof.  We will retain and securely destroy your personal data in accordance with our data retention policy and applicable laws and regulations.

How can you exercise your rights regarding your personal data?

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes. Subject to limitations in applicable law, you may exercise specific rights you have to the personal data that we hold about you.  Except as otherwise permitted by law, requests made regarding your personal information are free of charge. 

Subject to the enforcement and limitations of applicable law, you generally may have a right to:

  • Access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal data.
  • Understand the existence of, authorization, or basis for, and circumstances surrounding the processing of your personal data.
  • Object to processing of your personal data, ask us to restrict processing of your personal data, or request portability of your personal data.
  • Object to direct marketing, including profiling.
  • Request information on automated processes where the personal data will or is likely to be made as the sole basis for any decision significantly affecting or will affect you.
  • If we have collected and process your personal data with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal data conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
  • Complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal data. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.

ANY SUCH COMMUNICATION MUST BE IN WRITING.

 

Certain jurisdictions permit a consumer to designate an Authorized Agent to submit a disclosure or deletion request on behalf of the individual. To respond to a request from an Authorized Agent, we may:

  • Request a copy of the written permission, such as a power of attorney or registration with the applicable government agency, granting the Authorized Agent to make such a request on the individual’s behalf; and
  • Verify the identity of the individual as described below.

Authorized agents use the same links described above to submit requests.  Tyson may deny a request from an Authorized Agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by an individual to act on their behalf.

We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and your right to access, and to provide you with the personal data that we hold about you or make your requested changes. To verify your identity, we will generally match the identifying information provided in your request with the information we have on file about you. Depending on the sensitivity of the personal information requested, we may also utilize more stringent verification methods to verify your identity.  We may ask you to provide other documentation to verify your identity. If this happens, we will reach out to you directly with this request.  We may not be able to comply with your request if we are unable to confirm your identity or connect the information you submit in your request with personal information in our possession. 

Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some, or all, of the personal data that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, erased, or made your personal data anonymous in accordance with our data retention obligations and practices. If we cannot provide you with access to your personal data, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.  If you choose to exercise your rights, we will respond as required by law.

WHERE YOU ARE GIVEN THE OPTION TO SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH US, YOU CAN ALWAYS CHOOSE NOT TO DO SO. IF YOU OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA, TYSON WILL RESPECT THAT CHOICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS LEGAL OBLIGATIONS. THIS COULD MEAN THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO PERFORM THE ACTIONS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THE PURPOSES OF PROCESSING DESCRIBED ABOVE, INCLUDING CONTINUING AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT.

California residents may make one request per calendar year.  Tyson does not share personal information for direct marketing purposes.
