We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

Your Personal Information “Sales” Opt-Out And Opt-In Rights

Under the CCPA, some of the Personal Information disclosures described above may be considered a “sale.” If you are a California resident who is 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not “sell” your Personal Information at any time. We do not “sell” the Personal Information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization from the consumer who is at least 13 but not yet 16 years of age. Consumers who opt in to Personal Information “sales” may opt out of future “sales” at any time.
To exercise your right to opt out, you may submit a request to us by visiting the following link: DO NOT SELL MY PERSONAL INFORMATION.
An authorized agent may also use the link above to submit a request to opt out on your behalf if you provide the agent with signed permission to do so.
Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize Personal Information “sales.” However, you may change your mind and opt back in to Personal Information “sales” at any time by:

Calling us at 1-800-261-0326; or
Emailing us at dataprivacy@redwingshoes.com.

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights.
We will only use Personal Information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

We work hard to protect the personal information under our control from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. For example, we use encryption to keep your information private while in transit. We audit our information collection, storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures, to prevent unauthorized access to our systems. We restrict access to Personal Information to Red Wing Shoe Company, Inc. employees, contractors, agents, service providers, and select advertising and marketing partners. Anyone with this access is subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.
