By ordering our products and using our services, you are consenting to the data collection and use practices described in this Privacy Policy, as modified from time to time by us in our sole discretion.

When you register, you will receive a confirming email. See the “Communications” section for additional information.
If you purchase a product or service from us, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form. You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date).

From time-to-time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our Site. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information may include contact information (such as name and email address), and demographic information (such as zip code).
We use this information to monitor Site traffic, personalize our Site (via the use of anonymous information collected in surveys), and to send participants an email newsletter.
We will not share the personally identifiable information you provide through a contest or survey with third parties unless we give you prior notice and choice, subject to the terms herein.
You should carefully review the rules, if any, of each survey or contest in which you participate through our Site, as they may contain additional important information about our use of your personal information. To the extent that the terms and conditions of such rules concerning the treatment of your personal information conflict with this Privacy Policy, the terms and conditions of such rules shall control.
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our Site, we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit our Site. Levain Bakery does not store this information.
Levain Bakery collects your information in order to facilitate your participation in the activities you select and to prevent fraud and unlawful use. If you purchase or register for our products and services, for example, the information is used to fulfill your order. If you enter a contest, information is collected to qualify the entry and to contact you regarding the contest or prize awards. Your personal information may also be used to track customer preferences to provide a customized Site experience.
Levain Bakery may collect information about the use and ordering of our products and services and the Site, including, without limitation, product ordering information, types of services used, how many users we receive daily, Site pages visited, and the internet protocol (“IP”) address of your computer. By submitting your data, you expressly consent to such uses. This information is generally collected in aggregate form, without identifying any user individually, although IP address and Session ID in relation to purchases and downloads may be tracked as part of Levain Bakery’s customer order review and fraud prevention efforts. Other exceptions to this data collection, where an individual may be identified individually, are noted in this Privacy Policy or in additional privacy terms connected to a specific product, service or Website.
Levain Bakery may use aggregate, nonidentifying statistical data for improving the Sites and our products and services, providing more relevant experiences to our customers and for statistical analysis.

We do not share your profile with other third parties.
We share aggregated demographic information about our user base with our partners and advertisers. This information does not identify individual users. We share it in order to provide relevant partner content to our visitors.

To respect the privacy of children and to comply with the laws designed to protect children, children under the age of 18 should not provide any data. We will not knowingly collect, use, or disclose data from a minor under the age of 18, without obtaining prior consent from a person with parental responsibility (parent, guardian). The Site is a general audience Site that is not designed nor intended to collect data from children under the age of 18. We ask that parents supervise their children while online.
We use other third parties such as Shopify Plus, Shopify Payments, United Parcel Service, and Klaviyo to provide shopping cart, shipping, credit card processing and email list management on our Site. When you sign up for mailing lists or order items online, we will share name, email addresses, shipping address, and credit card information as necessary for such third party to provide that applicable service.
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Website.
We provide you the opportunity to “opt-out” of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes when we ask for such information. For example, if you purchase a product or service but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your preference on our order form.
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or promotional communication.
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the Site, to track users’ movements around the Site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.
We use a third-party tracking service, Google Analytics and Network Solutions Stats, that uses cookies, and log files to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our Site in the aggregate including page visits, times and referrers to the Site in order to monitor and enhance our Site content.
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on our Site. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our Site.
We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our Site. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file.

We set a persistent cookie to store your passwords, so you don’t have to enter it more than once.
If you reject cookies, you may still use our Site, but your ability to use some areas of our Site, such as shopping, contests or surveys, will be limited.
Some of our business partners (e.g., shopping cart, poll, and mail list management providers) use cookies on our Site. We have no access to or control over these cookies. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by levainbakery.com, and levaincam.com only.
We and our third party content or advertising partners employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage content on our Site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers’ personally identifiable information.
We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see the “Choice and Opt-Out” section for additional information.
Our Website contains links to other websites that are not owned or controlled by Levain Bakery. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites. We provide such links only as a convenience, and the inclusion of a link on our Websites does not imply endorsement of the linked site by Levain Bakery. If you provide any personal information through any such third party web site, your transaction will occur on such third party's web site and the personal information you provide will be collected by, and controlled by the privacy policy of, that third party.
We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies only to information collected by our Website.
If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may correct, update, delete and/or deactivate it by making the change on our member information page at the following link:
The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). To learn more about our use of SSL, follow this link to Network Solutions Safe Site information http://www.networksolutions.com/SSL-certificates/index.jsp
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If you have any questions about security on our Website, you can send email us at privacy@levainbakery.com
In the event Levain Bakery goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the assets transferred. You will be notified via prominent notice on our Website for 30 days of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you either in this Privacy Policy, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.
Levain Bakery and our affiliates, licensors and content providers are the owners of all the trademarks used on Site. Third parties are not allowed to use and apply any of the trademarks, logos and identifying marks without our express written consent.
