Privacy policy
Effective and last updated October 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Midwest Candy Buyers ("we", "us") collects, uses, shares and protects personal information when you visit this website, submit an offer request, or contact us. Midwest Candy Buyers is operated by Next Frontier LLC and is listed in Chicago, Illinois. By using this website you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Contact details you enter: name, company, role, email address and phone number.
- Request details: product names, brands, case packs, quantities, best-by dates, pickup ZIP code, loading and storage information, preferred payment method, notes, and any spreadsheet or document you upload.
- Messages you send us by email, phone or text, and records of our replies and offers.
- Technical data collected automatically: pages viewed, referring page and campaign tags, browser and device type, and approximate location from your IP address.
We do not ask for Social Security numbers, bank logins or card numbers through this website. Payment details for a sale are handled separately, directly between you and us.
How we use information
- To review your request, prepare and send your written offer, and arrange freight, pickup and payment.
- To contact you about your request by email, phone or text.
- To keep records of purchases for accounting, tax and legal purposes.
- To prevent spam, fraud and abuse, and to keep the website secure.
- To understand how the website is used and improve its content and performance.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for third-party advertising.
Who can see your information
Your request is saved to a Google Sheet and emailed to our team and to the virtual assistants who prepare replies. Access is limited to people who need it to handle your request. We also use service providers to run the website, store data, send email and measure traffic, such as Google (Sheets, Gmail and analytics) and our website host. They may use your information only to provide those services to us.
We may disclose information if required by law, to respond to a legal request, to protect our rights or safety, or in connection with a sale or reorganization of the business.
Cookies and analytics
This website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember settings and to measure traffic through tools such as Google Analytics. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some site features may not work if cookies are disabled. Your browser may also offer a "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signal, which we honor where the law requires.
Uploaded files
Files you upload with an offer request, such as inventory spreadsheets, are stored on our website server under a randomly named link and added to your request. Please upload only business inventory information and do not include personal data about other people.
How long we keep information
We keep offer requests and related messages for as long as needed to respond to you, complete any sale, and meet accounting, tax and legal record-keeping requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or de-identify it.
Your choices and rights
You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it, and you can ask us to stop contacting you. Depending on where you live, including Illinois and other states with privacy laws, you may have additional rights, such as knowing what we collect, requesting a copy, and not being discriminated against for exercising your rights. To make a request, email or call us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before acting, and we will respond within the time the law allows.
To stop marketing emails or texts, reply "STOP" or use the unsubscribe link. We will still send messages needed to complete a transaction you started.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your information, including limiting access and keeping access credentials out of the visitor-facing website. No website or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
This website is for businesses and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Links to other websites
This website may link to other websites, such as government food-labeling guidance. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed. Continued use of the website after a change means you accept the updated policy.
