This Privacy Policy applies to the Services to which it is linked. If a particular Service has its own privacy policy, then that policy – not this Privacy Policy – applies. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that is collected by any third-party websites or services that you may access through the Services.
Effective Date: July 6, 2021
KDP PRIVACY POLICY
The KDP Privacy Policy explains how Keurig Dr Pepper Inc and its subsidiaries (collectively, “KDP” or “we,” “us,” or “our”) use and disclose personal information in connection with your use of our websites (each a “Site”), mobile applications (each an “App”), and Internet connected devices such as our smart brewers (collectively, the “Services”), and your corresponding privacy rights..
We appreciate that you trust us with your information and we intend to honor that trust.
YOUR PRIVACY IS IMPORTANT TO US. PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and made a part of the KDP Terms of Use. If you have not done so already, please also review the KDP Terms of Use. The KDP Terms of Use include provisions that limit KDP’s liability to users and other important terms. By using the Services, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy, and agree to the KDP Terms of Use, which are incorporated by reference.
There are several ways we may obtain information about you, including through (A) information you provide to us directly; (B) information that we automatically collect; and (C) information we receive from third parties. Some of the information directly or indirectly identifies you as an individual. When information identifies or is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household, we refer to it as “Personal Information.” This Personal Information includes the following categories: ”
• Identifiers/Contact Information:
These include your name, postal and email address, phone number, and unique identifiers that may identify your device or browser but not you by name.
• Location Data: data about the location of the device you use to access the Services as more fully described below.
• Commercial Information: Your purchase and usage history (such as beverage variety, brew size and strength preference for your brews), and goods and service preferences, including payment information or photos you share from your devices.

Cookies. Certain parts of the KDP Services require cookies. Although you are not required to accept cookies or mobile device identifiers, if you block or reject them, you may not have access to all features available through the Services. Opting out of targeted advertising using any of the below links does not mean that you will stop seeing digital advertisements. Rather, opting out means digital advertising will not be targeted to you based on your interests (as inferred from your online activities). The Services use the following cookies:
- • Strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the operation of the Services. Without them, for example, you would not be able to register or log in for the Services that KDP offers.

- • Functionality cookies, which KDP uses to recognize you when you return to the Services.
- • Targeting cookies, which record your visits to the Services, the pages you visited and the links you followed.

Web Beacons. KDP also uses web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs). Some of KDP’s content and emails may contain embedded web beacons that allow a server to read certain types of information from your device, as well as allow us to count the number of people who have viewed content and to know when you opened an email message and the IP address of your device. Web beacons help KDP develop statistical information to provide better and more personalized content. To learn more about web beacons, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

California residents may exercise their rights to access or delete Personal Information according to the instructions in the “Information for Current California Residents” section below.

You may refer to your browser’s or operating system’s website or “Help” section for more information on how to delete and/or disable your browser or operating system from receiving cookies or control your tracking preferences. On your mobile device, you may also adjust your privacy and advertising settings to control whether you want to receive more relevant advertising.

We will retain your Personal Information consistent with applicable law and our retention policies. Such retention may include satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. We also may aggregate or de-identify the information so that it no longer identifies you, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

We and our co-branding partner may collect Personal Information on co-branded websites or services. Our processing of your Personal Information is subject to this Privacy Policy, but the processing of your Personal Information by a co-branding partner is subject to its privacy policy and practices, not ours.
The Effective Date of this Privacy Policy is stated at the top of this Policy. As we add new features, we may revise or supplement this Privacy Policy.

Your continued use of the Services after the Effective Date constitutes your acceptance of the Privacy Policy, as amended.

California law grants its residents the right to tell us not to sell their personal information. At Keurig Dr Pepper, we do not sell your data. However, as defined by California under this law, a “sale” of data includes how we share limited customer information among our affiliates who adhere to our privacy policy protections. We and our advertising partners also collect certain online information (such as cookies stored on your browser, the advertising identifier on your mobile device, and your IP address) and share that information with third parties to provide more relevant ads to you on our sites, apps, and on other sites that you visit.

KDP retains the right to request confirmation directly from the consumer confirming that the agent is authorized to make such a request, or to request additional information to confirm the agent’s identity. An authorized agent shall not use a consumer’s personal information, or any information collected from or about the consumer, for any purpose other than to fulfill the consumer’s requests, for verification, or for fraud prevention.
Do Not Track. Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Edge, Firefox and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have their online activity and behavior tracked. Not all browsers offer a DNT option, and DNT signals are not yet uniform. Many website operators, including KDP, do not respond to DNT requests or headers from some or all Internet browsers. As described above, we may use cookies or other technologies to deliver more relevant advertising and to link data collected across other computers or devices that you may use.
