PRIVACY POLICY

1. Introduction and Scope

Earthline Inc., doing business as Earthline (“Earthline,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operates https://www.earthlinegreen.com (the “Site”).

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information when you visit the Site, contact us, submit a business inquiry, or sign up for launch updates.

Earthline is a pre-launch foodservice products brand. This policy addresses our current website and related communications. The Site does not currently provide customer accounts or online checkout. We will update this policy as our activities change.

“Personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, or can reasonably be linked to an individual, as defined by applicable law.

2. Information We Collect

3. How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information, as relevant to your interaction with us, to:

• Respond to questions and provide support.
• Evaluate and follow up on business inquiries.
• Send launch updates or other marketing communications where you have subscribed or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.
• Maintain communication preferences and honor unsubscribe requests.
• Operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure the Site.
• Understand website use and improve the Site, where analytics tools are enabled and their use is legally permitted.
• Develop our products and business based on inquiries and feedback.
• Comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect legal rights.

Submitting an inquiry does not automatically subscribe you to unrelated marketing communications.

We do not treat your use of the Site as consent to processing for which applicable law requires separate consent.

4. How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information in the following circumstances:

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Websites may also use local storage, pixels, and similar technologies.

These technologies may support website functionality, security, preference storage, analytics, or advertising, depending on which tools are enabled.

You can use your browser settings to manage or delete cookies. Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality. Browser controls may not manage every tracking technology.

Where applicable law requires consent for particular technologies, we must obtain that consent before using them. Where applicable law requires recognition of an opt-out preference signal, we must honor it.

6. Email and Communication Choices

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link included in those messages or by contacting sales@earthlinegreen.com.

After you unsubscribe, we may retain limited information needed to honor your preference. We may still respond to inquiries you initiate or send necessary non-marketing communications.

You may request an update to your contact information or communication preferences using the contact details in Section 13.

7. Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

Retention decisions consider:

• Whether an inquiry or business discussion remains active.
• Whether you remain subscribed to communications.
• Operational and security needs.
• Applicable legal obligations and limitation periods.
• The need to resolve disputes or preserve relevant records.

We may retain limited records of unsubscribe requests, privacy requests, and our responses to document compliance and honor your choices.

When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it, subject to applicable legal requirements and backup-retention processes.

8. Security and International Processing

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information we process. No website, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure.

Earthline is based in the United States. Information may be processed in the United States and in other countries where our providers operate. Those countries may have different data-protection laws.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we must use an appropriate legal transfer mechanism. You may contact us for information about safeguards applicable to your information.

9. Privacy Rights and Requests

Depending on where you live, the law that applies, and any relevant exceptions, you may have rights to:

• Access personal information we hold about you.
• Receive information about its collection, use, and disclosure.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Request deletion.
• Obtain a portable copy of certain information.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
• Opt out of a sale, specified sharing, or targeted advertising, where applicable.
• Limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information, where applicable.
• Appeal a denied request, where applicable.
• Complain to a relevant privacy regulator.

These rights are subject to applicable conditions and exceptions.

To make a request, contact sales@earthlinegreen.com or call +1 732-336-0701. Describe your request and provide enough information for us to locate the relevant records.

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity or an authorized agent’s authority. We will not require verification for an opt-out request where applicable law prohibits it.

We respond within applicable legal timeframes. If we cannot fulfill a request, we will explain the reason and any available appeal process as required by law.

To appeal a decision where an appeal right applies, contact us with the subject line “Privacy Request Appeal,” identify the original request, and explain why you seek reconsideration. Applicable legal deadlines govern.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights.

10. Additional Information for California Residents

Where the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended (“CCPA”), applies to Earthline and your information, the categories described in Section 2 may include:

• Identifiers, such as names, email addresses, IP addresses, and online identifiers.
• Contact information, such as telephone numbers.
• Internet or other electronic network activity.
• Approximate geolocation.
• Professional or employment-related information.
• Information contained in correspondence.

Sections 2 through 4 describe the sources, purposes, and recipient categories relevant to that information. Section 7 explains our retention criteria.

Where applicable, California residents may exercise rights to know, access, correct, delete, and receive information in a portable format, as well as applicable sale, sharing, and sensitive-information choices, using the methods described above.

These disclosures do not mean that every listed category is collected from every visitor or that every CCPA provision applies to Earthline.

11. Additional Information for European and UK Individuals

Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation applies to our processing, Earthline Inc. is the controller for the activities covered by this policy.

Depending on the activity, our legal basis may be:

• Consent: for activities requiring consent, such as certain marketing communications or optional tracking technologies.
• Contract or requested pre-contractual steps: where processing is necessary to take steps you request toward a contract.
• Legitimate interests: to respond to general inquiries, operate and secure the Site, manage business relationships, and protect legal rights, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Legal obligations: where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.

You may object to processing based on legitimate interests and to processing for direct marketing. You may withdraw consent without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

You may also complain to the relevant data-protection authority, including the authority where you live or work or where an alleged infringement occurred.
