1. Our Commitment to Privacy
California Beverage Solutions LLC (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) believes that online privacy is crucial for the ongoing success of the Internet as a service, commercial and entertainment medium. We respect the importance of individual privacy and value the confidence of our customers and other visitors to this website (the “Website”) who may choose to provide personal information to us. The globalization of business in this increasingly electronic economy makes the collection of personal information of individuals a necessity. It is our goal to balance the benefits of e-commerce with the preservation of individual privacy rights. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) will assist you to understand what types of information we may collect from you, how the information may be used, and with whom the information may be shared. This Privacy Policy does not govern the collection, handling, or use of personal information by any unaffiliated website or third party.
2. Persons Under Age 21, Persons Who are Not US Citizens, or Persons Located Outside of the US
The Website is not directed to persons under the age of 21, persons who are not citizens of the United States of America, or persons who are located outside of the United States of America, and persons under the age of 21, or who are not citizens of the United States of America, or who are located outside of the United States of America are not permitted to use the Website. Accordingly, the Company has no actual knowledge of collecting personal information from anyone under the age of 21, or who is not a citizen of the United States of America, or who is located outside of the United States of America. In the event that we learn that information has been collected from any such persons, that information will be deleted promptly. If you believe that we might have any information from or about any such persons, please contact us as described in section 12 below.
3. Collecting Your Information
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means information concerning a natural person which can be used to identify that person, such as name, telephone number, email address, and location data. We may collect this information directly from you; for example, in person, through email, or through your actions on the Website. We may also collect this information indirectly from you; for example, from observing your actions on the Website or from our service providers.
The personal information collected by the Company may include name, date of birth, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, and employment information. We may also collect personal information using cookies. To learn more about how this Website uses cookies and the information collected by cookies, see section 8 below and our cookie policy, which is located at https://calbevsolution.com/cookie-policy/ (the “Cookie Policy”).
Generally, you may browse this Website without being required to provide us with any of your personal information. However, in some circumstances, we may request that you provide personal information. Although your decision to respond to such a request is completely voluntary, there are times when providing the information is necessary for us to understand your request and respond to you, such as when you contact us through the Website contact form. This and other similar functions may not be available to individuals who elect not to provide the information requested.
Specifically, we have collected the following categories of personal information within the preceding 12 months. The examples listed for each category below are for informational purposes only and do not identify the specific personal information actually collected by the Company.

- For any other purpose with your consent.
- In any other way we may describe when you provide the information.
We will only use personal information when the law allows us to. Our legal basis for collecting and using such information will depend on the information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. Most commonly, we will use such information in the following circumstances:
- it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.
- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
- Where we need to comply with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.

We will only retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain such information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for such information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, the purposes for which we process the information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.
5. Disclosure of Your Information

We may also disclose personal information to third parties to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request, to enforce or apply the Terms (as defined in section 14 below), or if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect our rights, property, or safety or those of our customers or others.

- Identifiers;
- Personal information categories;
- Internet or other similar network activity; and

8. Cookies and Other Technologies
Some pages on the Website use “cookies,” which are small files that are placed on your hard drive by the Website for identification purposes. These files may be used for user login and/or customization when you visit the Website. Cookies identify you to the Website and are used to load your preferences and track the pages you visit. Cookies allow the Website to remember important information that will make your visit to the Website more useful and help improve your future visits. If your browser is set up to automatically accept cookies, then your browser will add this small file to your hard drive. Most web browsers allow you to modify the way cookies are handled. You may be able to configure your web browser to warn you when it receives a cookie in order to be given a choice to accept or reject a cookie, or your browser may be configured to automatically refuse cookies. Each browser is different. Refer to the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences. By not accepting cookies, you may have to manually input user IDs and passwords to access certain information on this Website, and some pages may not fully function. Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” (DNT) features that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, the Website does not currently respond to browser DNT signals. To learn more about how we use cookies and your choices regarding cookies, please visit our Cookie Policy.

10. Securing Your Information
The Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to make the collection and security of personal information consistent with this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we make reasonable efforts to maintain physical, electronic, and procedural security measures which are designed to safeguard personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure, guaranteed security does not exist either on or off the Internet and we cannot guarantee the security of such information. Any transmission of any information is at your own risk, and we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Any material, information, or other communication you transmit or post to our Website, which is not personal information will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary information (“Communications”). Except as otherwise provided by applicable law that cannot be waived, the Company will have no obligations with respect to the Communications. Accordingly, you hereby acknowledge and agree that Communications will not be entitled to any security or privacy protection by us and that we have no obligation to protect the security or privacy of Communications. The Company and its designees will be free to copy, disclose, distribute, incorporate, and otherwise use the Communications and all data, images, sounds, text, and other content embodied therein for any and all commercial or non-commercial purposes.
