Privacy Policy

Last revised: March 29, 2026

The California Vending Co. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates californiavendingcompany.com (the “Site”). This document explains what personal data we gather, why we gather it, and the choices available to you. By accessing or using the Site you acknowledge that you have read and understood these practices.

Age Restrictions

Our Site is intended for individuals who are at least 18 years old. We do not intentionally gather data from anyone under the age of 13 in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If we become aware that a child’s information has been submitted without verified parental authorization, we will promptly remove it.

Data We Gather

When you interact with the Site — whether filling out a quote request form, reaching out via our contact page, subscribing to updates, or simply browsing — we may receive the following:

  • Full name
  • Email address
  • Telephone number
  • Business or property address
  • Location type and estimated foot traffic
  • Device identifiers, browser type, and IP address

We use this data to respond to your inquiry, pair you with an appropriate vending operator, enhance the Site experience, conduct internal analytics, and send occasional service-related communications.

Analytics & Measurement

We use third-party analytics platforms (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors navigate the Site. These tools may record general details about your geographic region, the pages you view, how long you stay, and the device or browser you use. The data is aggregated and used solely for improving our services and understanding traffic patterns.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

Cookies are small data files stored on your device when you visit a website. We rely on cookies to remember preferences, facilitate smooth navigation, and analyze usage trends. Some cookies are session-based and disappear when you close your browser; others persist to streamline future visits.

You can adjust your browser settings to refuse or delete cookies at any time, though doing so may limit certain Site functionality.

Tracking Pixels & Beacons

Certain pages or emails may contain small transparent images (often called pixels or beacons) that help us gauge engagement — for example, confirming whether an email was opened or a particular page was visited. Social media platforms may also deploy their own tracking technologies on the Site to measure ad effectiveness.

External Links & Third-Party Content

The Site may feature links, embedded media, or integrations from other providers. Once you navigate away from our Site, our privacy practices no longer apply. We encourage you to review the privacy disclosures of any third-party sites you visit.

When We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may, however, share it in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service fulfillment: with vetted vending operators and service partners who need your details to respond to your request.
  • Operational support: with vendors who assist us with hosting, analytics, email delivery, or customer support, all bound by confidentiality obligations.
  • Legal necessity: when required by law, regulation, court order, or governmental request.
  • Business transitions: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, where your data would transfer to the successor organization under equivalent protections.

Email & Marketing Communications

If you provide your email address, we may send you periodic updates about our services, industry insights, or promotional materials. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe mechanism. We honor all opt-out requests promptly and comply fully with the CAN-SPAM Act.

Visitors from the European Union or United Kingdom will only receive marketing communications after providing explicit opt-in consent.

Rights for EU & UK Residents (GDPR)

If you reside in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you are entitled to:

  • Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete records
  • Request deletion of your data (subject to legal retention requirements)
  • Restrict or object to certain types of processing
  • Receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format
  • Withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing

Our lawful bases for processing include consent you have given, performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps, compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate business interests (such as improving our services and communicating relevant offers).

Rights for U.S. State Residents

Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, and other states with consumer privacy statutes may have additional rights, including:

  • Confirming whether we process your personal data
  • Accessing, correcting, or deleting specific data points
  • Opting out of targeted advertising or profiling
  • Receiving your data in a portable format
  • Exercising these rights without facing discriminatory treatment

California-Specific Provisions (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents may additionally request details about the categories of personal information we have collected, disclosed, or used for business purposes over the preceding twelve months. Categories we may collect include identifiers, commercial activity records, internet and device data, geolocation information, and inferred profiles.

We do not sell personal information as defined under the CCPA. California’s “Shine the Light” law permits residents to inquire about disclosures made to affiliates for marketing purposes.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” signal. At this time, the Site does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT headers. You can enable DNT through your browser’s privacy settings.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described here, meet legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

Security Measures

We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the data you entrust to us. That said, no method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely infallible, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last revised” date at the top. Continued use of the Site after any modification constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
