Your Choices

  1. Cookies & Similar Tracking Technologies. We and our third party partners (such as advertising and analytics providers) use cookies, web beacons, clear GIF, pixels, internet tags, and other similar tracking technologies (collectively, “tracking technologies”) to gather information when you interact with our Sites and email communications. Some tracking technologies help us maintain the security of our websites and your account, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist with basic site functions.

    We also permit third parties to use tracking technologies on our Sites for analytics and advertising, including to help manage and display advertisements, or to tailor advertisements to your interests. The third parties use their technology to provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests which may appear either on our websites or on other websites. You can opt-out of having your Site activity available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

    Some web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can adjust your browser settings to remove or reject certain cookies. You may opt out of receiving personalized ads from other companies that perform ad targeting services, including some that we may work with as Advertising Partners via the DAA website here. You may use the NAI opt out tool here, which will allow you to opt out of seeing personalized ads from us and from other NAI approved member companies.

    Keep in mind that, if you opt out of interest-based advertising on our Sites, you may still see customized advertising displayed by advertising networks from which you have not opted out. In addition, your opt out will not prevent any advertising network from displaying advertising that is not customized to you and your interests and, consequently, may be less relevant to you. Please also note that you will need to make such choices on each browser and device you may use to visit our Sites.
  2. Promotional Emails. You may choose to provide us with your email address for the purpose of allowing us to send free newsletters, surveys, offers, and other promotional materials to you, as well as targeted offers from third parties. You can stop receiving promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in e-mails that you receive. If you decide not to receive promotional emails, we may still send you service related communications.
  3. Promotional Mailings. If at any time you do not want to receive offers and/or circulars from us you can remove yourself from our mailing lists by emailing us (our contact information is below) with “NO SNAIL MAIL” in the subject line along with your name, address and zip code. Please note that our mailings are prepared in advance of their being sent. Although we will remove your name from our mailing list after receiving your request, you may still receive mailings from us that had been initiated prior to your name being removed.
  4. Changes To Your Personal Information. We rely on you to update and correct your personal information. Some of our Sites will allow you to modify or delete your account profile. If our Site does not permit you to update or correct certain information, you contact us as described below in order to request that your information by modified.

We may perform research on our Site users’ demographics and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, gathered from transaction activity, from our server log files or from surveys. This research may be compiled, analyzed or sold on an anonymized and aggregated basis, which does not include information identifying an individual person. National Beef may share this anonymized and aggregated data with business partners, prospective partners, or other third parties.

How We Protect Personal Information
No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is fully secure. While we use reasonable efforts designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

Our Site permits you to create an account. When you do, you will be prompted to create a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, and you are responsible for any access to or use of your account by someone else that has obtained your password, whether or not such access or use has been authorized by you.
