How We May Share/Disclose Your Information with Third Parties
Generally:
With Your Consent. We may share personal information with your consent. When you provide us with your business details and any related PII in connection with your registration on the Service, you consent to our collecting your PII and using it for the purposes described in this Policy.
- By Law or to Protect Rights. When we believe disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud, or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of our business, our users, our employees, or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; or to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements or policies; in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.
- Third Party Service Providers, Contractors, or Agents. We may share your information with third party companies that perform services on our behalf, including but not limited to data analysis, marketing services, e-mail campaigns, hosting services, and customer service. While providing the services for us these companies may access any PII submitted and are required to use it solely as directed by us for the purpose of our requested service.
- Business Transfers; Bankruptcy. We reserve the right to transfer any or all information, including any PII, in its possession to a successor organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of Mesh Brands or its parent company Mesh Ventures’ assets. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, the use and disclosure of all transferred information will be subject to this Privacy Policy, or to a new privacy policy if you are given notice of that new privacy policy and are given an opportunity to affirmatively opt-out of it. User information submitted or collected after a transfer, however, may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor organization.
- Other Third Parties. We may use and share with our Partners and other Service users, aggregated, data and analytics in connection with the operation of the Service. In addition, we may use and share with third party advertisers, our Partners and other third parties certain technical information and/or aggregate information to show general demographic and preference information among Service users and/or our business more generally. We may also allow advertisers to collect technical information or aggregate information, which they may share with us, through the use of tracking technologies like cookies and web beacons. The information collected may be used to offer you targeted ad-selection and delivery in order to personalize your user experience by increasing the likelihood that advertisements for products and services you see will appeal to you, a practice known as behavioral advertising, and to undertake web analytics (i.e. to analyze traffic and other end user activity to improve your experience). To learn more about behavioral advertising or to opt-out of this type of advertising for participating ad networks, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative website at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
For California Residents. California residents have the right to opt out of letting us share PII with our Partners. Please contact us at contact@standardextracts.com with “Request for California Opt-Out” as the subject line and in the body of your message. Please also note that under California law, businesses are only required to respond to a customer request once during any calendar year. The California Online Privacy Protection Act requires that we outline our practice as it is related to federal do-not-track signals that may come from your browser. Because this signal does not often reflect the preference of our consumers, this website does not respond to it. Users may, however, request to opt out, as discussed earlier in this Agreement.
For International Users. This Site operates in the United States and as a result, the information we collect may be stored in the United States. Please leave this site immediately if you are accessing this site from outside the United States.
For Minors & Children. Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. Our Site is not directed to anyone under the age of 21, and as such we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are under 21 years of age, then please do not use or access the Site at any time or in any manner. If we learn that personal information has been collected from persons under 13 years of age, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. By using this site, you represent that you are at least 21 years of age.
SECTION 3: SECURITY
How we protect your information
We use Google Analytics to protect against unauthorized access to, or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of, any data that you share. Google Analytics has a team dedicated to keeping personal information secure. They maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards that are intended to appropriately protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse and any other unlawful form of processing of, the personal information in our possession. They employ security measures such as using firewalls to protect against intruders, building redundancies throughout our network (so that if one server goes down, another can cover for it) and testing for and protecting against network vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, however, no security system can be 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee that any information provided to us in connection with the Service will be free from unauthorized access by third parties.
How we protect your information with respect to third party sites
Mesh Brands neither owns nor controls the third-party websites accessible through the Service. Thus, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information provided to or gathered by the third parties that operate them. Before visiting a third-party, whether by means of a link on the Site or otherwise, and before providing any personally-identifying information to any third party, users should inform themselves of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that website, and should take those steps necessary to, in those users’ discretion, protect their privacy.
SECTION 4: YOUR CHOICES
Access, Correction, Deletion
- We respect your privacy rights and provide you with reasonable access to the data, including any PII you may have provided through your use of the Service. If you wish to access or amend any such information we hold about you, or to request that we delete or transfer any information about you that we have obtained from you, you may contact us at contact@standardextracts.com. Please note that while any changes you make will be reflected in active user databases instantly or within a reasonable period of time, we may retain all information you submit for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, satisfaction of legal obligations, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so.
At any time, you may object to the processing of your PII, on legitimate grounds, except if otherwise permitted by applicable law. If you believe your right to privacy granted by applicable data protection laws has been infringed upon, please contact us at contact@standardextracts.com. You also have a right to lodge a complaint with data protection authorities.
Opting out from Commercial Communications and Analytics
To the extent you elect to receive emails or other information from us, you may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions contained within the email or by sending an email to unsubscribe@standardextracts.com. You may opt out from emails by clicking “unsubscribe” in the emails you receive from us.
SECTION 5: CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
As indicated above, we may, in our sole discretion, change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any and all changes to this Privacy Policy will be reflected here and the date new versions are posted will be stated at the top of this Privacy Policy. Unless we obtain your express consent, any revised Privacy Policy will apply only to information collected after such time as the revised Privacy Policy takes effect, and not to information collected under any earlier Privacy Policies. Users should regularly check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. We will always post new versions of the Privacy Policy on the Site. However, we may, as determined in our discretion, decide to notify users of changes made to this Privacy Policy via email or otherwise. Accordingly, it is important that users always maintain and update their contact information.
