At Ugly Donuts & Corn Dogs, we believe a good experience starts with trust. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit our website or reach out to us, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. We keep our data practices as simple and limited as our kitchen keeps its ingredients.
Overview
This policy applies to uglydonutsncorndogs.com and the forms and features on it. It is operated by Ugly Donuts & Corn Dogs, based in Belleville, New Jersey. When we say "we," "us," or "our," we mean Ugly Donuts & Corn Dogs. When we say "you," we mean anyone who visits this site or contacts us through it.
We do not sell your personal information. We collect only what we need to respond to you, run the website, and improve the experience. If a section of this policy raises a question, the Contact us section tells you how to reach a real person.

We collect personal information in two ways: information you give us directly, and information collected automatically when you use the site.

When you browse the site, certain information is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies. This may include your device type, browser, approximate location based on your IP address, the pages you view, and how you arrived at our site. This information is used in aggregate to understand traffic and improve the site, not to identify you personally. See Cookies and tracking for details and your choices.

State privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under your state's privacy law. These can include the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to access or delete it, the right to correct it, and the right to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell personal information, and we honor opt-out requests, including recognized browser signals such as the Global Privacy Control.
We do not charge you a different price or provide a different level of service because you exercised a privacy right. To exercise any right, contact us using the details below, and we will respond within the time your state's law requires. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.
How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.
How we protect your information
We use a combination of technical and organizational safeguards to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so while we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or the law. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
