When you register, place an order, join a membership, submit a form, contact customer support, respond to a survey or email, or complete an age-verification step, we may collect information such as your name, email address, mailing address, shipping address, billing address, phone number, and other details you choose to provide.

Like many websites, we may automatically collect certain technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location, pages viewed, referral source, site actions, email engagement, and cookie-related activity.
How We Use Your Information
To Improve Your Experience
We may use information to personalize your site experience, remember preferences, display relevant content, maintain your cart, and improve navigation, product discovery, and overall usability.
To Process Orders
We may use information to review, process, fulfill, ship, support, modify, or document transactions, and to provide customer service related to orders, memberships, returns, or account activity.
To Communicate With You
We may use your contact information to send transactional notices, order updates, support responses, account messages, age-verification prompts, and promotional or marketing emails where you have signed up or where permitted by law.
To Protect The Business
We may use information to detect fraud, investigate misuse, prevent abuse, secure the site, enforce policies, maintain records, respond to legal requests, and support lawful compliance and business operations.
How We Protect Visitor Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to help protect personal information. Information may be stored behind secured networks and may be accessible only to personnel, contractors, or service partners with a legitimate need to access it for site operations, customer service, payment processing, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or related business purposes.
When you place orders or submit sensitive information through the site, data may be transmitted using secure connection technology, including SSL or TLS where appropriate. We also work to limit access, maintain system protections, and reduce unnecessary retention where reasonably possible.
No website, system, or online transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Even so, The Bad Bodega takes privacy and information security seriously and uses reasonable measures to reduce risk.

We may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site, improve tools and content, support security and fraud controls, remember current or previous site activity, and measure engagement with pages, products, or communications.

Do We Disclose The Information We Collect?
The Bad Bodega does not sell or trade your personal information for monetary compensation. We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to operate the site, conduct business, provide services to you, or comply with legal obligations.

California & Other State Privacy Rights
If you are a resident of California or another state with an applicable consumer privacy law, and if that law applies to our processing activities, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information. Depending on applicable law, these rights may include the right to know or access information collected about you, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion, obtain a portable copy of certain information, opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling activities, and receive equal service without unlawful discrimination for exercising applicable privacy rights.
Certain laws may also provide rights related to sensitive personal information, appeal rights if a request is denied, and other protections subject to legal exceptions, identity verification, and business-applicability thresholds. The Bad Bodega will review privacy requests and respond as required by applicable law.
