OUR STORY PRODUCTS RECIPES FAQ PORK CENTRAL CONTACT Privacy Policy We want you to enjoy every visit to CarolinaPride.com. So rest assured, any information you share with us will be carefully guarded through our use of industry-standard security software to encrypt your credit card number and other ordering and shipping information when you order products from our website. Please read on for more details about our privacy policy. Carolina Pride reserves the right to change this privacy policy at any time. Be sure to check this page periodically for updates. What Kind of Information We Ask for and Why When you place an order online, we’ll ask for your name, shipping address, credit card number and expiration date. That’s all the information we need to process, confirm and ship your order. If you choose to take part in any Carolina Pride contest, we’ll ask for any information necessary to the administration of the event such as your name, email address and shipping address. We may, on occasion, co-sponsor other promotions with third parties. We will notify you in a timely manner if third parties will obtain your personal information. Information we gather from you is used to enter you into the contest or process your order and to make your visit productive and enjoyable. We may email you occasional updates about new additions to this site as well as special offers. We won’t give any of your personal information to anyone outside of Carolina Pride, other than persons affiliated with us who need to carry out their duties in connection with the contest and to fulfill your order, or to respond to your requests or inquiries. We require our partners to respect our privacy practices and not use your personal information for purposes other than to carry out our instructions. How We Protect Your Credit Card and Other Personal Information When you input your credit card number and other personal information, we use a sophisticated software program (Secure Socket Layer Technology or SSL) to encrypt or scramble that information before it’s sent so that even if anyone intercepts the information, it is highly unlikely that they will be able to read or use it. Usage Agreement Your use of CarolinaPride.com constitutes your acceptance of our Terms of Use (see terms below). Please read carefully.
