Privacy Policy
Anderson House Foods ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit this site (gma-andersonhousefoods.myshopify.com), our limited-time sale site, or purchase our products (including our Frontier Soups brand) through it.
* Information We Collect
We collect information that you provide to us directly, information we collect automatically when you use our services, and information from third-party sources.
* Information You Provide
**Identifiers:** Name, email address, postal address (shipping and billing), and phone number.
**Commercial Information:** Products purchased, order history, and account preferences.
**Dietary & Health Data:** If you voluntarily submit information regarding dietary restrictions (e.g., "Gluten-Free," "Low Sodium," or allergy information) via our contact forms or customer service, we store this to assist with your product selection.
**Payment Information:** Credit card numbers and billing details. (Note: We utilize secure third-party payment processors; we do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.)
* Information We Collect Automatically
When you visit our site, we and our third-party partners automatically collect certain technical data, including:
**Device Data:** IP address, browser type, operating system, time zone settings, and unique device identifiers.
**Online Activity:** Pages viewed, links clicked, time spent on pages, and items added to your shopping cart.
**Cookies & Pixels:** We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to operate our site and for advertising purposes.
* How This Site Is Hosted and How Payments Are Secured
This site is hosted by Shopify Inc., which provides the e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products to you. Your data is stored through Shopify's data storage, databases, and general Shopify application, on secure servers behind a firewall. This site is operated and administered on our behalf by Simplistic, our e-commerce partner for this sale, who has access to store and order data for the purpose of running the site.
If you pay through a direct payment gateway, your credit card data is encrypted under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a joint effort of brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

* Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We do not sell your personal information to data brokers for cash. However, we share information with third parties for business purposes:
