Where Avery Dennison does well
- Arbitration 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Renewals 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- No forced arbitration or class-action waiver appears anywhere: disputes are governed by Ohio law with exclusive jurisdiction in Ohio courts — you keep your day in court, just in their home venue.
- The privacy notice honors California opt-out-of-sale requests via a user-enabled global privacy control and a 'Do Not Sell My Data' page, and it promises no discrimination for exercising privacy rights.
- On consent withdrawal they will delete your information unless otherwise permitted by law; they state they do not sell sensitive personal information or minors' data, and they list a direct privacy contact (dataprivacy@averydennison.com) plus a data-subject request form.
Avery Dennison admits that, under California's definition of 'selling,' it has sold visitors' browsing/network activity data to advertising networks and analytics providers in the past year. So a B2B label company still feeds your clickstream to ad-tech intermediaries.
The fine print
6 clauses and findings from the draft archive, dated 1 October 2026. The plain English comes first; the small print is the company's own words. None of these has been checked yet.

Avery Dennison admits that, under California's definition of 'selling,' it has sold visitors' browsing/network activity data to advertising networks and analytics providers in the past year. So a B2B label company still feeds your clickstream to ad-tech intermediaries.
Considering the definition of 'selling' under the CPRA, in the last 12 months, we 'sold' your Internet or other electronic network activity information to advertising networks and data analytics providers, who perform services on our behalf, such as advertising and audience measurement.
-
The same notice says 'in the event we begin selling' the notice will be updated — yet §11 already discloses they 'sold' internet activity data in the last 12 months. The 'we don't sell' promise reads as forward-looking boilerplate that conflicts with their own mandatory California disclosure.
We do not sell or share sensitive personal information, nor do we sell or share any personal information about individuals who we know are under sixteen (16) years old, nor do we share your information for purposes of cross-contextual behavioral advertising as defined under the CPRA. In the event we begin selling personal information (1) this Notice will be updated to reflect that fact...

My Avery Dennison E-commerce Terms and Conditions (Changes to the Terms of Use)
-
The price quoted on your order acknowledgment isn't locked: the price is whatever is in effect on the day they ship, so your cost can change between ordering and shipment.

If Avery Dennison's product or services harm your business, the most you can ever recover is what you paid for the defective item — nothing for lost profits, business interruption, or even personal injury. And you only have one year to sue, after which your claim is 'waived and barred' (shorter than most states' statutes of limitations).
NO CLAIM BY PURCHASER OF ANY KIND... SHALL BE GREATER IN AMOUNT THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES IN RESPECT OF WHICH DAMAGES ARE CLAIMED... ALL CLAIMS, SUITS, OR LEGAL ACTIONS NOT FILED BY PURCHASER WITHIN ONE YEAR OF THE DATE A CAUSE OF ACTION HAS ACCRUED ARE WAIVED AND BARRED... SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (NOR FOR DAMAGES FOR INJURIES TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, DIMINUTION IN VALUE AND LOST PROFITS...)

How these were found
Documents read live on Oct 1, 2026: (1) Global Data Privacy Notice dated 'Last updated: April 2024' at averydennison.com/en/home/legal-and-privacy-notices.html; (2) 'My Avery Dennison' E-commerce Terms and Conditions (customer portal Terms of Use, undated, fetched from cwp-test-origin.averydennison.com, which appears to be a staging/origin host of the live Avery Dennison AEM site — content identical in form to the production portal terms, but I could not confirm a production-host copy, so the portal-terms findings trace to this host); (3) Label and Graphic Materials North America Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale (PDF, label.averydennison.com). No verbit mirrors were needed; no page was blocked. Avery Dennison is a B2B materials company with essentially no consumer-facing accounts, subscriptions, or consumer content; the score reflects only what actually exists on the public legal documents, which is why the total is modest. No 'current date' stamps beyond the April 2024 privacy-notice date were visible on the other two documents.
