PRIVACY STATEMENT
Thank you for using Lodge’s online and mobile resources and for viewing this privacy statement (the “Privacy Statement” or “Statement”). Our Privacy Statement, contained in the pages that follow, serves to give notice about the types of personal information we collect, how we use it, and who we share it with and why. We delve into those matters in a fair amount of detail in the pages that follow. We encourage you to read this Privacy Statement carefully.
This Privacy Statement was amended as of June 10, 2026 and is effective as of that date. The English language version of this Privacy Statement is the controlling version regardless of any translation you may attempt.
Please note that use of our online and mobile resources is also governed by our Terms of Use (“Terms”). By accessing, using, or placing an order through our online and mobile resources you agree to these Terms. We encourage you to read the Terms carefully.
SOME IMPORTANT VOCABULARY
Although not itself a contract, this Privacy Statement is an important document that explains how we address some of our legal obligations, and your related legal rights, involving personal information. We’ll use this section to let you know about some words that have special meanings whenever you see them in this Statement. When we reference “this Statement”, “this Privacy Statement” and “our Statement”, we mean the Privacy Statement you are reading now. Wherever we say “Lodge”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”, we mean Lodge Manufacturing Company. We use the words “you” and “your” to mean you, the reader, and other visitors to our online and mobile resources who are, in all cases, over the age of 13, or otherwise have verifiable parental consent to view this page. This age requirement is discussed in more detail later in this Statement
When we talk about our “online and mobile resources”, we mean all websites, subdomains, and other pages that link to this Statement, as well as any applications, portals, or other features we operate to allow you to interact with us and our systems, including any mobile apps we’ve created and distributed to let you interact with the content we provide. An “affinity action” is when you “follow” us, “like” us or take a similar or analogous action on our external social media presence.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, when we refer to “personal information”, we mean any information, data or data element, whether in electronic or other form, that, alone or in combination with other elements, can be used to distinguish, trace, or discover your identity. Certain data privacy laws include specific elements or defined terms for what they consider to be personal information (sometimes also referred to as “personal data”). Where such data privacy laws apply, then the term “personal data” includes the specific elements and defined terms required by such laws.
WHEN AND TO WHOM DOES THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT APPLY?
Our online and mobile resources collect personal information from: (1) visitors to, and users of, our online and mobile resources; and (2) those who may interact with our ads and content displayed on third party sites. This Statement applies to our processing and sharing of personal information collected from the data subjects listed in the previous sentence. If we have legal obligations to other categories of data subjects, such as our employees, supply chain partners or vendors, we provide them with separate legally required notices in confidential contracts, policies, and other similar documents.
HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We collect and otherwise obtain your personal information in the following ways: (1) when you choose to give it to us by voluntary submission; (2) through automatic collection by technical means when you visit or use our online and mobile resources; and (3) when it is provided to us by external sources such as marketing companies, advertising companies, social media companies and/or companies that provide services on our behalf who, in each case, may have previously and separately collected elements of your personal information without our involvement and then shared it with us to us as part of a service for which we engaged that source.
Voluntary Submissions. Here are some of the ways you voluntarily give us your personal information:
- Creating Accounts – If we make an account creation feature available you will provide us your email address and other identifiers.
- Making Purchases – If you choose to make a purchase through our online and mobile resources, we will collect your name, email, phone number, residential address, and other information you provide to fulfil the order.
- Signing up for Newsletters – Similar to account creation, we collect some voluntarily submitted information if you sign up to receive a newsletter or other informational or marketing material we publish.
- Registering for Events – When you register for events or programs we may host, you will be submitting certain identifiers. If the event requires a fee, we may also ask you to submit credit card or other financial information.
- Sending Emails and Texts – If you choose to send us an email from our “contact us” link or a similar link, you will be giving us your email address and any other personal information that may be in your message or attached to it. The same is true if you send us a text message.
- Using Community Features – Some of our online and mobile resources may offer social media-like community features letting users post messages and comments, and/or upload image or other files and materials. If you choose to make use of these features, the information you post, including your screen name and any other personal information, will be in the public domain and may not covered/protected by this Statement.
If you prefer that we not receive the above-described personal information, please don’t submit it. This means you shouldn’t participate in the applicable activities on or use the applicable features available from our online and mobile resources. Your use of our online and mobile resources is strictly your choice. By not participating, you may limit your ability to take full advantage of the online and mobile resources, but most of the content in our online and mobile resources will still be available to you and we never discriminate on the basis of how much information you provide.
Automatic Collection. When you visit or use our online and mobile resources, information about your internet/electronic activity is automatically collected through your browser via tracking technologies, such as “cookies.” As just about everyone knows by now, cookies are small text files downloaded onto your computer or mobile device. Cookies allow us to collect your IP address and recognize your computer or mobile device and store some information about your preferences for using our online and mobile resources or past actions.
If you access our online and mobile resources from a phone or other mobile device, the mobile services provider may transmit to us certain information such as uniquely identifiable mobile device information. That, in turn, allows us to collect mobile phone numbers and associate them with the mobile device identification information.
External Sources. We may work with companies who provide us with data, including personal information, so that we can tailor our services to audiences who have the most interest. We also may work with digital advertising and marketing companies to provide you with ads that meet your interests and that enhance your experience with us. These ads may be displayed on websites or device applications operated by third parties. These third parties collect information with their own cookies, pixels, and related tracking technology and then provide that information to us. We are not responsible for their data collection practices.
Further, we maintain a presence on one or more external social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn. We may allow the community features of our online and mobile resources to connect with, or be viewable from, that external social media presence. Similarly, our online and mobile resources may contain links to other websites or apps controlled by third parties. We are not responsible for either the content on, or the privacy practices of, social media platforms, or any third-party sites or apps to which we link. Those apps, sites and platforms are not controlled by us and therefore have their own privacy policies and terms of use. To be clear: neither this Statement nor our Terms apply to our social media presence or any third-party sites or apps to which we may link. That means even if you take an affinity action on our specific social media presence, and identifiers about you are automatically collected and given to us as a result, that collection and transfer is governed by the privacy policies and other terms of the applicable social media platform and are not our responsibility.
If you have questions about how those apps, sites, and platforms collect and use personal information, you should carefully read their privacy policies and contact them using the information they provide. In addition, certain coalitions of advertisers allow consumers to opt out of receiving interest-based advertising from members of those coalitions. You can visit the Digital Advertising Alliance and Network Advertising Initiative to opt out of receiving interest-based advertising from members of these coalitions. You will need to exercise these opt outs on each browser on each device for which you wish to opt out of interest-based advertising.

The criteria used to determine the retention periods include: (1) how long the personal information is needed in connection with the purposes for which we use it; (2) the type of personal information collected; and (3) whether we are subject to a legal, contractual or similar obligation to retain the personal information (e.g., mandatory data retention laws, government orders to preserve personal information relevant to an investigation, or personal information that must be retained for the purposes of litigation or disputes).
