INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE COLLECT IT

(1) PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE TO US

Please see our Privacy Provisions for California Residents below for additional details regarding the categories of Personal Information collected.

“Personal Information” means “information about an identifiable individual” including, but not limited to, your name, address, email address and phone number. “Personal Information” means information that alone or when in combination with other information may be used to readily identify, contact, or locate you, such as: name, address, email address, or phone number. We do not consider Personal Information to include information that has been anonymized such that it does not allow a third party to easily identify a specific individual. We collect Personal Information when you choose to provide it to us, including when you:

• register to use the Site;
• purchase a product on the Site;
• use the Site;
• review one of our products or post content to public pages on our Site;
• communicate with us via the Site or via email; and/or
• sign up to receive marketing information about our products and services.

We may also collect information at other points on our Site with your consent and with notice to you. Please note that we may use third party service providers to help operate the Site and to provide analytical data with respect to the Site and these third party service providers may collect Personal Information from our Site for these purposes.

(A) REGISTER AN ACCOUNT.

The Site gives you the option of creating a user account (an “Account”). If you decide to create an Account, you will provide us with certain Personal Information, such as your first and last name, email address and password and information about your pet(s). You are not required to register to use the Site.

(B) PURCHASE AN OPEN FARM PRODUCT.

When you purchase an Open Farm product using the Site, you are given the option of logging into an Account or, if you do not already have an Account, creating a new Account. In either case, when you purchase an Open Farm product, you will provide us with Personal Information, such as first and last name, email address, password, shipping address, billing address and credit card information, as well as information about your pet(s). For purposes of this Privacy Policy, credit card information shall be considered “Sensitive Information”

(C) MAKE A PAYMENT.

When you make a payment through use of the Site, you will need to provide Personal Information to our third party payment processors. Such Personal Information may include Sensitive Information, such as your credit card number, expiry date and security code. This information is not collected by Open Farm but is provided directly by you to our third party payment processors and its collection, use and disclosure is governed by their privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of our third party payment processors.

(D) SUBMIT INFORMATION TO THE SITE.

We collect information, including Personal Information, that you submit to the Site. This includes any text, images, videos, photographs, messages and comments on message boards, product reviews and customer testimonials. If you choose to post content such as a product review to any public area of the Site (i.e., where content can be viewed by all users with or without user accounts), the Site will collect the information in your submission to the Site and the information contained in your posting will be visible to others, including any Personal Information you choose to include. We cannot control who reads your postings or what other users may do with the information that you voluntarily post, so it is very important that you do not put Personal Information in your posts if you do not want it to be seen or used by others. Please keep this in mind when submitting content to any public area of the Site. We reserve the right to use any product reviews or customer testimonials for our marketing and promotional purposes, so please take this into consideration if you choose to include Personal Information in your product reviews or testimonials.

(E) SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITES

If you engage in any interaction with Open Farm, other Site users or any third-party on any Open Farm social media account pages (“Social Media Pages”), you should be aware that: (a) the Personal Information that you submit by and through such Social Media Pages can be read, collected and/or used by other users of those websites/services (depending on your privacy settings associated with your accounts with the applicable social media websites), and could be used to send you unsolicited messages or otherwise to contact you without your consent or desire; and (b) where Open Farm responds to any interaction on such Social Media Pages, your account name/handle may be viewable by any and all members/users of Open Farm’s social media accounts. We are not responsible for the Personal Information that you choose to submit on any Social Media Pages.

Your interactions with the Social Media Pages are governed by the privacy policies of the applicable social media websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and settings of the Social Media Pages with which you interact to help you understand those social media websites’ respective privacy practices. If you have questions about the security and privacy settings of any Social Media Pages that you use, please refer to the applicable social media website’s privacy notices or policies.

We may also collect Personal Information from you when you communicate with us. For example, you may send us Personal Information by sending an email to us, subscribing to the Open Farm email list or through our Site contact form.

Behavioral Tracking

Open Farm and its third-party partners, such as Google®, use Cookies, pixels and other tracking technology (collectively, “Tracking Technology”) to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users’ movements around the Site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

To be clear, whether you are opting out by adjusting your browser/device settings or by using a website established by a self-regulatory group, these cookie-based opt-outs must be performed on each device and browser that you wish to have opted-out. For example, if you have opted out on your computer browser, that opt-out will not be effective on your mobile device. You must separately opt out on each device.

Further, Users can opt-out of certain Google®-related tracking technology, and customize the Google® Display Network ads that they receive, by visiting the Google® Ads Settings at: http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Google® also recommends installing the Google® Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for your web browser, which is available here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. To the greatest extent permissible under applicable law, we are not responsible for the tracking practices of third-parties in connection with the Site.

Lastly, users may be able to opt-out of this form of tracking utilizing the options made available by the Network Advertising Initiative or Digital Advertising Alliance. Please note that opting out of this tracking activity does not opt you out of being served advertising. Even where you opt out of this tracking activity, you will continue to receive generic ads.

Please be further advised that, after you delete your Personal Information, residual copies may take a period of time before they are deleted from our active servers and may remain in our backup systems.

SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

We endeavor to safeguard and protect our users’ Personal Information. When users make Personal Information available to us, their Personal Information is protected both online and offline (to the extent that we maintain any Personal Information offline). Where our registration/application process prompts users to enter Sensitive Information (such as medical information, driver’s license/ID card number, health insurance information, data collected from an automated license plate recognition system, Social Security Number and credit card information), and when we store and transmit such Sensitive Information, that information is encrypted with advanced TLS (Transport Layer Security).

Access to your Personal Information is strictly limited, and we take reasonable security measures to ensure that your Personal Information is not accessible to the public. All of our users’ Personal Information is restricted in our offices, as well as the offices of our third-party service providers. Only employees or third-party agents who need user Personal Information to perform a specific job are granted access to user Personal Information. Our employees are dedicated to ensuring the security and privacy of all user Personal Information. Employees not adhering to our firm policies are subject to disciplinary action. The servers that we store user Personal Information on are kept in a secure physical environment. We also have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of Personal Information under our control.

Please be advised, however, that while we take every reasonable precaution available to protect your data, no storage facility, technology, software, security protocols or data transmission over the Internet or via wireless networks can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Computer hackers that circumvent our security measures may gain access to certain portions of your Personal Information, and technological bugs, errors and glitches may cause inadvertent disclosures of your Personal Information; provided, however, that any attempt to breach the security of the network, our servers, databases or other hardware or software may constitute a crime punishable by law. For the reasons mentioned above, we cannot warrant that your Personal Information will be absolutely secure. Any transmission of data at or through the Site, other Site Offerings or otherwise via the Internet or wireless networks, is done at your own risk.

In compliance with applicable law, we shall notify you and any applicable regulatory agencies in the event that we learn of an information security breach with respect to your Personal Information. You will be notified via e-mail in the event of such a breach. Please be advised that notice may be delayed in order to address the needs of law enforcement, determine the scope of network damage, and to engage in remedial measures.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use Personal Information from children under eighteen (18) years of age, and no part of the Site is directed to children under eighteen (18) years of age. If you learn that your child has provided us with Personal Information without your consent, you may alert us at support@openfarmpet.com. If we learn that we have collected any Personal Information from children under eighteen (18) years of age, we will promptly take steps to delete such information and terminate the child’s account.

Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides CA Users (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

You have the right to opt-out of our sale of your personal information to third parties. To exercise your right to opt-out of our sale of your personal information to third parties, please submit a verifiable CA User request to us by either:

• Clicking here
• Emailing us at: support@openfarmpet.com; or
• Sending us mail to: Open Farm Inc., 559 College Street, Suite 401, Toronto, ON M6G 1A9

We endeavor to act on all opt-out requests as soon as practicable, but in all cases within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of your request.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past twelve (12) months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable CA User request, we will disclose to you:

• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
• The categories of third parties with whom we have shared that personal information.

• disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable CA User request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our (their) records, unless an exception applies; provided, however, that in some cases, strictly for regulatory compliance purposes and to better evidence/honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests (and for no other purposes), we may retain certain items of your personal information on a de-identified and aggregated basis in such a manner that the data no longer identifies you.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our obligations in connection with our contract with you.
2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
4. Exercise free speech rights, ensure the right of another CA User to exercise her/his free speech rights or exercise another right provided for by law.
5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, but only if you previously provided informed consent.
7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with CA User expectations based on your relationship with us.
8. Comply with a legal obligation.
9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Access, Data Portability and Deletion Rights

To exercise your access, data portability and/or deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable CA User request to us by either:

• Clicking here
• Emailing us at: support@openfarmpet.com; or
• Sending us mail to: Open Farm Inc., 559 College Street, Suite 401, Toronto, ON M6G 1A9

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable CA User request related to your personal information.

You may only make a verifiable CA User request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable CA User request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are: (1) the person about whom we collected personal information; or (2) an authorized representative.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable CA User request does not require that you create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable CA User request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to all verifiable CA User requests within forty-five (45) days of the receipt thereof. If we require more time (up to ninety (90) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures that we provide will only cover the twelve (12) month period preceding the receipt of your verifiable request. The response that we provide will also explain the reasons that we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable CA User request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services;
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; and/or
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
