We actively and passively gather, analyze and/or store PII and other information generally by way of two different sources: (1) the PII voluntarily submitted by visitors when using or registering to use or receive our services or offers; and (2) by tracking and analyzing online and mobile data and activity through mechanisms that identify site usage, user location, device type, browser types, IP addresses, and other data. We do not collect PII through advertisements on our Site, and the PII we collect is not shared with third parties except as set forth herein. We will make reasonable efforts to destroy, erase or make anonymous any PII that is no longer required to fulfill the original purpose for which it was originally collected.
Strain Profile Information & Transaction History
We are unable to access or view any documents that you have loaded into your “time capsule” on the Site. We are also unable to access or view any invoices that you receive from Canopyright or have been sent by Canopyright on your behalf. We do not track this information, or any metrics based on this information, which we deem to be your confidential property. We do, however, track invoice processing fees that may be payable to us.
Usage Information
When your computer or mobile device contacts our web servers (for example, when you visit this Site, or view an HTML email), our web servers automatically collect usage information. Such usage information includes information about how our visitors use and navigate our Site. It can include the number and frequency of visitors to each web page and the length of their stays, browser type, location, device type, referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and subsequent to visiting our Site, and IP addresses (see below for more information on IP addresses). We also may determine the applicable technology available in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page, email, advertising or promotional announcement or similar service. This information is used by Canopyright for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Site.
Browser Cookies
Like many websites, we may use browser “cookies.” Cookies are a website’s way of remembering who you are and help you personalize your online experience. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer’s hard drive or stored temporarily in your computer’s memory. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. There are two kinds of cookies: those that are “session” oriented and those that are “persistent.” Session cookies are deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies retain information for later use tomorrow, next week, next month, or whenever they are set to expire. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. We use cookies to help us to identify account holders and to optimize their experience on our Site. Also, we will use cookies to monitor and maintain information about your use of this Site. Most web browsers accept cookies automatically. You can delete cookies manually or set your browser to automatically delete cookies on a predetermined schedule. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Site.
Use of IP Address
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer, device or network when you are linked to the Internet. When you request pages from this Site, our servers log your IP address. We may use IP address for a number of purposes, such as system administration, to report aggregate information to our business partners or to audit the use of the Site. We may associate your IP address with the PII you provide.
We also may collect and store information about you that we receive from other sources to enable us to update and correct the information contained in our database and to provide product recommendations and special offers that we think will interest you.
Sensitive Information
Canopyright secures the PII you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. No website, Internet transmission, computer system or wireless connection is completely secure, however. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur. Your use of the Site is at your own risk. Whenever you provide personal information, we will take commercially reasonable steps to protect the information by establishing a secure connection with your web browser. Canopyright uses an industry standard security protocol for encrypting sensitive information. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Unfortunately, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed 100% secure. We cannot and do not ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or through Canopyright, and you do so at your own risk.
External Links
The Site may contain links to, or advertisements about, third-party websites. Other sites may also reference, advertise, or link to our Sites. We not endorse or sponsor other websites, are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of third-party sites, expressly disclaim any statements or assertions made on such websites, and deny all liability associated with your use of, and the content on, such other websites and advertisements. Please be advised that the practices described in this Privacy Policy do not apply to information gathered through other websites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave this Site and to read the privacy policies of each and every website that you visit.
Sharing Information
We are not in the business of selling your information, and we do not sell, rent or lease our customer lists or your strain information to third parties. We consider your information to be an important part of our relationship with you, and will use your PII solely to provide our services and otherwise as described in this policy.
We may share your information with third parties under the following circumstances:
Third parties providing services on our behalf and/or through our services: We may engage third parties to perform services in connection with the operation of our business. Examples of these services include: (a) content provision, (b) product customization, (c) marketing and promotional material distribution, (d) website evaluation, (e) data collection, storage, management, analysis and, where applicable, cleansing, and (f) any other services designed to assist us in maximizing our business potential. Additionally, certain third parties engage us to facilitate their own functionality and operation. All of such third parties may have access to this Site’s user information, including PII, to the extent it is needed to perform their specific duties and functions.
Business Transfers: In addition, we reserve the right to disclose, share and/or otherwise transfer user information, including without limitation PII, in connection with a corporate merger, acquisition, consolidation, the sale of a portion of our business or the sale of substantially all of Canopyright’s assets, or other fundamental corporate change, whatever form it may take. You will be notified via email or prominent notice on our Site prior to a change of ownership or control of your personal information, if your personal information will be used contrary to this policy. For clarification and the removal of doubt, Canopyright specifically reserves the right to transfer or share a copy of PII collected pursuant to this Privacy Policy from this Site, off-line or otherwise, to the buyer of that portion of its business relating to that information.
Legal Requirements and Protection of Rights: We may release information about our users, including PII, without notice when legally required to do so, at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation or to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our Site and applicable laws. We may also disclose such user information whenever we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Canopyright or any of our respective affiliates, business partners, employees, customers, or others.
Aggregate Information: We may disclose non-identifying, aggregated user statistics to third parties for a variety of purposes, including describing our services to prospective partners and other third parties. Examples of such non-personal information include the number of users who visited this Site during a specific time period or purchased a specific product through this Site.
Consent to Processing
By using our Site, participating in any of our services and/or providing us with your information, you consent and agree to the collection, transfer, storage and processing of your information to and in the United States. You understand that the technical processing and transmission of this Site may involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.
Children
We recognize the importance of safeguarding the privacy of children and encourage parents to check and monitor their children’s use of online activities regularly. The Site supports and complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and other applicable laws. The Site is not aimed at nor intended for persons under the age of 21. If you are under the age of 21, please do not use the Site. If we discover that a person under the age of 18 has provided us with any PII, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete such person’s PII from its system.
Third Parties
This Privacy Policy does not address or apply to, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third parties, including, without limitation, the manufacturer of your mobile device or any other third-party mobile application or website to which our service may contain a link. These third parties may at times gather information from or about you. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of each website and application you visit and use.
We may occasionally use various outside ad-serving or other companies to serve advertisements on our Site. In the process of serving advertisements, such companies may use cookies and may use information about your visits to our Site and other sites in order to provide advertisements on our Site about products and services that may be of interest to you. By delivering ads on our Site, and the use of cookies, the ad-server is able to record what ads a user has seen, and what pages the user was viewing when the ads were delivered. This web usage information may be combined with other ad delivery information the ad-server has collected from your visits to our Site and other websites not affiliated us. This non-personally identifiable information is used as part of the ad-serving process for reporting, and to select and direct the ads you see on our Site and on other websites not affiliated with us.
Your Choices
You can visit the Site without providing any PII. If you choose not to provide any PII (or only provide certain requested PII), you may not be able to use certain services.
Users of our Site and services are required to inform us about any change concerning their data, in particular about changes of email address. We are not liable for the consequences resulting from providing mistaken data.
You can access, correct and update certain personal information that you have provided to us, if any, by emailing us at support@canopyright.com. Please be aware that we will process your request as quickly as we reasonably can, but it may not be possible to update our systems immediately. In addition, you should be aware that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of the original information from our databases without some residual data because of backups and other reasons. Information that is posted to the blockchain may not be deleted.
You will have an opportunity to unsubscribe from receiving promotional material from this Site by clicking on an “unsubscribe” hyperlink contained in promotional emails we send you. Additionally, you may email support@canopyright.com. Because customer lists often are prepared well in advance of an offering (sometimes a few months before the offer is made), you may continue to receive some offers after you send us a request not to use your information for specified marketing purposes. Please be aware that we will process your request as quickly as we reasonably can, but it may not be possible to update our systems immediately. We appreciate your patience and understanding in giving us time to meet your request.

Notice to OR Residents/Your OR Privacy Rights
Under Oregon law, marijuana retailers may not record, retain, transfer, or sell any information contained on official forms of identification such as a driver’s license, passport, military ID or registry identification card. Oregon law does permit marijuana retailers to record and retain the name and contact information of a consumer for purposes of notifying the consumer of services, discounts, coupons or other marketing information if the retailer requests permission to record the information for marketing purposes and receives consent in writing from the consumer. As set forth in this Privacy Policy, we are not an Oregon marijuana retail licensee, but we nonetheless do not record any consumer names and contact information unless provided with the following consent. When we request that you voluntarily submit your name and contact information when using or registering to use or receive our services, we are requesting your consent to record and retain that information. By voluntarily submitting your name and contact information, you are satisfying written consent to Canopyright’s recording and retention of that information.
Security
We strive to use reasonable physical, technical and administrative measures to protect information under our control. However, you must keep your Account password secure and your Account confidential, and you are responsible for any and all use of your Account. If you have reason to believe that the security of your Account has been compromised, please notify us immediately in accordance with the “Contacting Us” section below.
To help protect the privacy of data you transmit through the Site, where personally identifiable information is requested, we also use technology designed to encrypt the information that you input using industry-standard encryption technology. We take steps to protect the user data we collect against unauthorized access. However, you should keep in mind that the Site and our services are run on software, hardware, and networks, any component of which may, from time to time, require maintenance or experience problems or breaches of security beyond our control. We do not accept liability for unintentional disclosure. In addition, persons with access to your computer, phone, or other mobile or other devices may be able to access the Site and information about you contained in the Site.
By using the Site, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of the Site. If we learn of a security system’s breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on the Site or sending an e-mail to you. You may have a legal right to receive this notice in writing.
Revisions to Privacy Policy
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify, update, add to, discontinue, remove or otherwise change any portion of this Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, at any time. When we amend this Privacy Policy, we will revise the date “last updated” as provided at the top of this Privacy Policy. For changes to this Privacy Policy that we deem material, we will send an email notice regarding the “Updated Privacy Policy.” If you access or use the Site in any way after the Privacy Policy has been updated, you will be deemed to have read, understood and unconditionally consented to and agreed to such changes.
