Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Winnebago Industries, Inc. (“Winnebago,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we are committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to our websites and mobile applications (“you” or “your”). This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how we collect, store, use and share information you provide to us, as well as the choices you have with respect to your information. This Policy applies to the information we collect via our website located at www.winnebago.com, mobile applications, and other digital services in which this Policy is posted or linked (collectively, the “Website”), and is incorporated into our Terms of Use. This Policy applies solely to our Website and does not govern any other third-party website that may be accessed on or linked to from our Website.

Please read this Policy carefully before you use the Website or submit information to us. Please note that by using the Website or submitting information to us, (i) you agree to be bound by the terms of this Policy, and (ii) you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of any information you provide to us.

At times, it may be necessary for us to make changes to this Policy. We reserve the right to modify this Policy at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Website or submission of information to us after we have made any modifications to this Policy constitutes your agreement to be bound by the revised Policy.

What personal information might we collect and how might we collect it?

Information You Provide. Certain areas of our Website allow you to submit information to us. We may collect information that either directly identifies you or could reasonably be used in combination with other publicly available information to identify you. For example, you may provide us with some personal information when completing the contact us form.  We may aggregate that personal information and certain non-personally identifiable information as well. 

Information We Collect Automatically. When you visit the Website, our servers may automatically collect information about the IP address from which you access the Website, the pages you visit, the date and time you access the Website, and the type of browser and operating system that you are using. The information we compile is used to enhance the visitor’s experience when using the Website to display personalized content. 

We may collect this data using the techniques described below.

How do we use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies?

Cookies. Our Website may use a tracking technology called a “cookie.”

A “cookie” is a small file placed on your device when you visit a site that can be understood by the site that issued the cookie. We use cookies and other technologies, including device identifiers, to collect information and support certain features of this Website. For example, we may use these technologies to:

  • collect information about the ways visitors use this Website - which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page;
  • support the features and functionality of this Website - for example, to save you the trouble of reentering information already in our database or to prompt the settings you established on previous visits;
  • personalize your experience when you use this Website; and
  • improve our marketing efforts, including through use of targeted advertising.

The information we collect using cookies and similar technologies may or may not be personally identifiable, but we may link it to personal information that you provide. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit this Website, you may be unable to use all of the functionality of this Website if your browser rejects our cookies.

Third Party Cookies and Internet Based Advertising.  In addition to the cookies we deliver to your device through our Website, certain third parties may deliver cookies to you for a variety of reasons. For example, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics tool that helps us understand how visitors engage with our Website. To learn more about Google Analytics, visit http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html.

Other third parties may deliver cookies to your computer or mobile or tablet device for the purpose of tracking your online behaviors across nonaffiliated websites and delivering targeted advertisements either on our Website or on other websites. These third parties use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and similar tracking technologies to collect and use certain information about your online activities, either on our Website or other websites, to infer your interests and deliver you targeted advertisements.

Web Beacons and Pixels. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons, pixels (or “clear gifs”), and other tracking technologies. Pixels are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of visitors from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve Website performance, to serve targeted advertisements to you and others like you, and to measure the success of marketing campaigns. 

Tracking Technologies. If you would like to opt-out of having interest-based information collected by certain entities during your visits to our Website or other websites, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. You will be directed to an industry-developed website that contains mechanisms for choosing whether each listed entity may collect and use data for online behavioral advertising purposes. It may be that some of the third parties that collect interest-based information on our Website do not participate in the industry-developed opt-out website, in which case the best way to avoid third-party tracking of your online behaviors may be through your browser settings and deletion of cookies.

 

How do we use your information?

Depending on the purpose for which the information was provided, we may use the information:

  • to provide you with the products, services, and other information that you request;
  • for security, credit or fraud prevention purposes;
  • to provide you with effective customer service;
  • to provide you with a personalized experience when you use our Website;
  • to contact you with special offers and other information we believe will be of interest to you (in accordance with any privacy preferences you have expressed to us);
  • to contact you with information and notices related to your use of our Website;
  • to invite you to participate in surveys and provide feedback to us (in accordance with any privacy preferences you have expressed to us);
  • to better understand your needs and interests;
  • to improve the content, functionality, and usability of the Website;
  • to communicate with you regarding our products, services, and promotions;
  • to improve our product and service offerings;
  • to improve our marketing and promotional efforts; and
  • for any other purpose identified in an applicable privacy notice, click-through agreement, or other agreement between you and us.

We may use information gathered through our Website to create a compiled, aggregate view of our Website audiences and their usage patterns. We use aggregated information to operate our services and to better understand our audience as we develop new products and services. We may also share aggregated information with our third-party service providers as well as with potential investors, advertisers, and subscribers so they can better understand and/or market to our audience.

How We Share Your Information.

Service Providers. We may share your personal information, as necessary, with third-party vendors and service providers who provide us with various business services or administer activities on our behalf (including, without limitation, Website maintenance and information technology services).

Compliance with Laws and Protection of Our Rights and Others.  We may also disclose your personal information in circumstances where we, in good faith, believe such disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law, a court order, or a subpoena; to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to protect the security of the Website; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use or other agreements; or to protect our or someone else’s rights, property, or safety.

Business Transfers.  Your personal information may be transferred to a successor organization if, for example, we transfer the ownership or operation of the Website to another organization, if we merge with or are acquired by another organization, or if we liquidate our assets. In negotiating with a third party about entering into such an arrangement, we may need to disclose your personal information. In such cases, we will take reasonable measures to protect the personal information we disclose. If such a transfer occurs, the successor organization’s use of your personal information will still be subject to this Policy and the privacy preferences you have expressed to us.

With Third-Party Social Media Platforms. We may provide functionality on our Website that allows you to automatically post information to a third-party social media platform (such as Facebook and Twitter). If you choose to take advantage of this functionality, people with access to your profile on the third-party platform will be able to see your post. Thus, you should have no expectation of privacy in those actions. Further, if you choose to link your profile on our Website with an account on a third-party social media platform, we may share the information in your profile with that third-party platform. We may also use third-party social media platforms to offer you interest-based ads. To offer such ads, we may convert your email address into a unique value which can be matched by our partner company with a user on their platform. Although we do not provide any personal information to these platform vendors, they may gain insights about individuals who respond to the ads we serve.

How do we protect and store your information?

We maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures to protect the security of your personal information you submit on or through our Website. However, no website, server, or database is completely secure or “hacker proof.” Therefore, we cannot guarantee that your personal information will not be disclosed, misused, or lost by accident or by the unauthorized acts of others. If you create an account on our Website, it is your responsibility to protect your login credentials from unauthorized access or use.

Your Choices

You can access, update, correct, or delete personal information by emailing us at [email protected] or calling us at 641-585-3535. We will respond to you within a reasonable time and, in any case, within the time limits established by applicable law. We may ask you for additional information to verify your identity. In most cases, we will provide access and correct or delete any inaccurate information you discover. In some cases, however, we may limit or deny your request if the law permits or requires us to do so or if we are unable to verify your identify. 

If you would like to unsubscribe from any of our electronic newsletters or promotional emails, please follow the instructions contained in the promotional email or newsletter, or send an email to [email protected] and include the word “unsubscribe” in the subject line.

Shine the Light. For California residents, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request information regarding the disclosure of your personal information by certain members of Company to third parties for the third parties’ direct marking purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to [email protected].

Certain web browsers and other programs may be used to signal your preferences regarding how or whether Winnebago or third parties may collect information about your online activities. Currently, our Website does not respond to such signals.
