Privacy Policy

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) protects the online privacy of children under 13 years of age. In compliance with this act, Hilmar Cheese Company does not promote to children online, and does not intentionally collect any personally identifiable information from children under 13. Children under the age of 13 must be registered by a parent or guardian and use a parent's or guardian's email address in order to receive e-mail updates. By creating an account or subscribing to an e-mail list, you are verifying that your age is 13 years or more.

You can view our web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.  As a visitor, our site automatically recognizes your Internet service provider, but you can't be identified as an individual. For customers who make a purchase, we do collect information on which pages are accessed at our site. We use this information to improve your overall shopping experience. We also keep track of information volunteered during the order and registration processes - and we keep this information confidential.

We do not share information.

We do not partner with or have special relationships with any ad server companies.

Hilmar Cheese Company may occasionally contain links to other sites.  Hilmar Cheese Company is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites not operated by us.  We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of every web site that collects personally identifiable information.

We use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving your personal information. On the Internet, when you see either a solid key icon or a locked padlock icon at the lower portion of your browser window, this indicates that the site is secured through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Pages requesting personal information should always have one of these icons. If you do not see one of these icons, please contact us to complete your transaction over the phone by calling 1-800-577-5772
