We may change this Policy from time to time, so please check this page occasionally to ensure that you’re happy with any changes. By using this Site, you’re agreeing to be bound by this Policy.
How do we collect information from you?
When you visit and navigate our Site and when you communicate with us via our Site, we will not collect personal information about you unless you provide us that information voluntarily. You should be aware that when you visit our Site, we collect certain information that does not identify you personally, but provides us with “usage data,” such as the number of visitors we receive, what pages are visited by a visitor or the ISPs or types of browsers most frequently used. This data helps us to analyze and improve the usefulness of the information we provide at this Site and our products and service.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through our Site’s public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others.
Beck’s encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to/from this Site so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. Beck’s is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of this Site.
While you are a member of our loyalty program, we collect information in the following ways:
- Your browser or device: Certain information is collected by most browsers or automatically through your devices, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer, and model, language, Internet browser type and version, and browser click-through and usage data.
- Cookies: Cookies are pieces of information stored directly on the computer that you are using. Our Site, personalized promotions, and emails use cookies, pixel tags, and other technologies to automatically collect information about your interactions, such as browser type, pages viewed, links clicked, and other actions you take in connection with our Site, online ads, and email. We use the information for a variety of purposes, including facilitating navigation, displaying information more effectively, personalizing your experience, understanding how our Site is used, marketing our products and services, measuring the success of our marketing campaigns, and for security purposes. Cookies are necessary for the proper use of the Site so that we can maintain access privileges and security of the Site. If you do not accept cookies, you will not be able to use the website interface. The cookie does not extract other personal information about you such as your name or address.
- Using pixel tags and other similar technologies: We may use pixel tags to, among other things, track the actions of users of our Site and services (including email recipients), measure the success of our marketing campaigns and compile statistics about usage of our Site and services and response rates.
- Analytics: We use third-party service providers, including Google, which use cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about the use of our Site. This service may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps, and online resources. You can learn about Google’s practices at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and opt-out by using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- IP Address: Your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). An IP address may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you access our Site, along with the time of the visit and the pages that were visited. Your IP address may also indicate your approximate physical location. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice and is done automatically by many websites, applications, and other technologies. We use IP addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels and diagnosing networking, server, and software problems, and for tracking and detecting fraudulent behavior.
- In Store Technologies: We track purchase behavior at the point of sale for the purpose of operating loyalty and gift programs.
- Mobile Applications: When you download one of our mobile applications, we may track and collect usage data such as the date and time the App accesses our servers and what information and files have been accessed, viewed, and downloaded to the app based on your device number or another identifier. If you allow the mobile app to collect location information, we may receive the precise location of your mobile device, such as your device’s precise GPS coordinates. Typically, you give permission to do so through your device’s mobile operating system. If you grant permission, we may collect that information while the device is running in the foreground or background. You may disable the app’s collection of location information through your device’s mobile operating system.

We may maintain a record of your product interests and the purchases you make online, through a mobile app, by phone, and in stores. Through the point of sale, we may track the location of the transaction, the date and time of the transaction, what was purchased, and other details of the transaction. This data may be necessary for the operation of the loyalty program so that rewards can be earned and redeemed. Personal information, such as phone numbers, may be used at the point of sale as an identifier to your account information so that a transaction can be processed for your account.
We may combine personal information about your online and in-store transactions and other interactions with us, including your purchases.

Please refer to the social media site’s privacy settings to control how your information is shared.
