Other Sites and Services

Google reCAPTCHA.
In order to protect our website and other features, we use Google reCAPTCHA provided by Google Inc. (“reCAPTCHA”) for all United States visitors. We employ reCAPTCHA to check whether data is entered into our forms by a person or by an automated program, script or bot. reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the person entering the data using various features. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website is accessed. For analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, browser type, settings, and plugins, URL of the referring website, time spent on the respective website, mouse movements, input characteristics of the data entry, including speed, sequence and selection of inputs, etc.). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to a Google server, where it is stored and evaluated. Your use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. For more information about reCAPTCHA, please visit: https://www.google.com/recaptcha.
Security
We employ a number of technical, organizational and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, no security measures are failsafe and we cannot guarantee the security of personal information.
International Data Transfer
You may provide personal information directly to our website in the United States. We may also transfer personal information from Europe to our affiliates and service providers in the United States and other jurisdictions. Please note that such jurisdictions may not provide the same protections as the data protection laws in your home country.
When we engage in cross-border data transfers, we will ensure that relevant safeguards are in place to afford adequate protection for personal information and we will comply with applicable data protection laws, in particular by relying on an EU Commission or UK government adequacy decision or on contractual protections for the transfer of personal information. For more information about how we transfer personal information internationally, please contact us as set out in the “How to Contact Us” section below.
Data Privacy Framework
AG1 complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (collectively, the “Data Privacy Framework”) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union, United Kingdom, and Switzerland to the United States. AG1 has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Data Privacy Framework Principles (the “Principles”). If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Policy and the Principles, the Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.
AG1 may transfer personal information to third parties as described in this Privacy Policy. AG1 maintains contracts with its third-party service providers restricting their access, use, and disclosure of personal information in compliance with our Data Privacy Framework obligations. AG1 may be liable if these third parties fail to meet those obligations and we are responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
In compliance with the Principles, AG1 commits to resolving complaints about our collection or use of personal information. European individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our Privacy Policy should first contact AG1 at privacy@athleticgreens.com. AG1 has further committed to refer unresolved Data Privacy Framework complaints to JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider located in the United States. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint from us, or if we have not resolved your complaint, please visit https://www.jamsadr.com/eu-us-data-privacy-framework for more information or to file a complaint. The services of JAMS are provided at no cost to you. If neither AG1 nor JAMS resolves your complaint, you may have the ability to engage in binding arbitration through the Data Privacy Framework Panel. Additional information on the arbitration process is available on the Data Privacy Framework website at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov.
AG1 may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.. AG1’ commitments under the Principles are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission.
Children
Our Services are not intended for use by children under 16 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal information through our Services from a child under 16 without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian as required by law, we will delete it.
Job Applicants
When you visit the “Careers” portion of our websites, we collect the information that you provide to us in connection with your job application. This includes business and personal contact information, professional credentials and skills, educational and work history, and other information of the type that may be included in a resume. This may also include diversity information that you voluntarily provide. We use this information to facilitate our recruitment activities and process employment applications, such as by evaluating a job candidate for an employment activity, to monitor recruitment statistics, and to respond to surveys. We may also use this information to provide improved administration of our websites, and as otherwise necessary (a) to comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on us; (b) to protect and defend our or others’ rights or property; (c) in connection with a legal investigation; and/or (d) to investigate or assist in preventing any violation or potential violation of the law, this Privacy Policy, or our Terms & Conditions.
Retention of Personal Information
We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and processed, in accordance with our retention policies, and in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory obligations or until you withdraw your consent (where applicable).
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal information, the purposes for which we use personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by updating the date of this Privacy Policy and posting it on our websites and online services. If required by law we will also provide notification of changes in another way that we believe is reasonably likely to reach you, such as via email or another manner through our Services. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting the modified version (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting). In all cases, your use of our Services after the effective date of any modified Privacy Policy indicates your acceptance of the modified Privacy Policy.
