Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights
You have the right to request that HARIBO disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, Deletion and Correction Rights), we will disclose to you:

Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that HARIBO delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, Deletion and Correction Rights), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.
In accordance with the CCPA, we may deny your deletion request under certain circumstances, and will inform you of the basis for the denial, which may include, but is not limited to, if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
- Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good 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.
Right to Correct
You have the right to request HARIBO to correct inaccurate Personal Information collected about you. HARIBO will make commercially reasonable efforts to correct any inaccurate Personal Information we hold about a consumer within 45 days of receiving a verifiable consumer request. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
Right to Opt-Out of Personal Information Sales and Sharing
If you are age 16 or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell or share your Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes at any time (the “right to opt-out”). Please note that we do not currently engage in sales or sharing of Personal Information triggering such opt-out requirements.
Right to Limit Disclosure or Use of Sensitive Personal Information
You have the right to limit the disclosure or use of your Sensitive Personal Information to only those actions necessary for HARIBO to provide goods and services to you or as otherwise specifically directed by you. Please note that we do not currently collect Sensitive Personal Information triggering such limitation rights.
Exercising Access, Data Portability, Deletion and Correction Rights
To exercise the access, data portability, deletion and correction rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by calling us at 1.800.638.BEAR or by e-mailing us at info-us@haribo.com.
Only you, or a person 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.
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 consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account.
We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 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.
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.
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 goods or services.
- Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
- Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
- Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
