2. How We Use Information

FarmRaise may use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:

To deliver our Products and Services;
To allow you to log into and access your account;
To provide customer service and our support services;
To process any financial transactions you make while registering for or using our Services;
To keep your information secure such as by detecting security incidents, and to be able to verify your identity and contact information;
To alert you about product updates, special offers, updated information, and other news and services from FarmRaise;
To ensure our Site and Services are relevant to you and your interests;
To help us create and publish content most relevant to you; and
To contact you in response to sign up forms or requests such as our Contact Us form.

3. How Information May Be Shared

FarmRaise does not sell or rent any of your personal information, and we do not share your personal information publicly without your consent. FarmRaise also does not disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those permitted by applicable law.

We may disclose your information to certain trusted third-party services to help us provide, improve, promote, or protect our Services. For example, we may disclose personal information in the following situations:

To funding programs as part of the funding application process and to provide the Services;
To data storage vendors;
To address fraud, security, or technical issues;
When required by law, such as through a valid subpoena or court order;
To partner with other companies to process your payments or to store your personal information when necessary to support delivery of our Services and respond to customer service requests;
If we believe it’s necessary to protect someone’s safety, the public, our rights, or the rights of others; or
When it is reasonably necessary for our legitimate interests in conducting our business, such as in the event a merger, acquisition, or sale.

Whenever we share data with third-party services, we require that they use your information only for the purposes we've authorized, and that they protect your personal information to at least the same standards we do. Otherwise, your personal information is not shared with any individual or other organization.

4. Protection of your Personal Information

We take the security of your personal information seriously and follow industry-standard practices to protect the data we collect and process. FarmRaise has therefore put in place commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the personal information that FarmRaise collects. Access to personal information will be restricted to our authorized personnel who require the information to perform their duties properly. In addition, access will be limited to only that information that is strictly necessary for the performance of those duties.

Please remember that the safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where you have chosen, or where we have given you a username and password for access to certain parts of the Site or Services, you are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so FarmRaise cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Data Transfers

Because FarmRaise is a US-based company, your information may be collected and processed in the United States. Additionally, as part of the Services offered to you through our Site, the information which we collect about you may be transferred to, and stored in, one or more countries other than where you currently reside. For example, this may occur if any of our servers or third-party service providers are located in a country other than yours. These countries may have different data protection laws that are similar to your current residence. However, if we transfer your information in this way, we will put in place appropriate protection to make sure your personal data remains adequately protected and is treated in line with this Privacy Policy.

6. Email and Mobile Device Notifications

We try to keep email communications to a minimum and give you the ability to opt-in/opt-out of any marketing communications we may send. For example, we may send you email relating to the Services we offer. You may also elect to receive certain marketing communications in accordance with your preferences, and from which you may opt-out at any time. You can always opt-out of receiving marketing emails or mobile device notifications from FarmRaise (other than certain required communications, such as messages confirming orders, and notifying you of any privacy policy updates, and the like), by sending us an email at info@farmraise.us stating your request. If we have sent you a promotional email or mobile device notification, you may send us a return email or mobile device communication asking to be omitted from future optional notices.

7. Retention

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary to perform the relevant processing activity for that information, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us. The relevant retention period is determined on a case-by-case basis because it depends on things like the nature of the data, why it is collected, why it is processed, and any relevant legal or operational retention needs. For example, we may retain your data for as long as you are a customer of ours so that we may process and complete any orders you may make with us. We may also be required to hold some types of information to fulfill legal purposes. We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. When the relevant processing activity has been completed, we may destroy your data, or alternatively anonymize the data, such that the data is not personally identifiable.

8. Personal Information Requests for Residents of Certain U.S. States

Depending on where you reside, certain U.S. State laws may give you the right to request that we disclose the personal information we have collected about you over the past 12 months, which we only provide after we receive and validate your request. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable request, we may disclose to you:

The categories of personal information we collected about you;
The categories of personal information we have disclosed about you (if any);
The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you;
Our business or commercial purposes for collecting that personal information;
The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information; and
The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.

If you’re a California resident, you have the right under California Civil Code §1798.83 to request a list of the categories of personal information we shared with third parties for their direct marketing purposes in the past year. To request this information, please email us at info@farmraise.us.

Right of correction

‍You may have the right to request correction of your personal information. After we receive and validate your request, we will correct your personal information, unless an exception applies. Please note that you can correct and update some of your basic information via the Services or on the Site.

‍Right of deletion

‍You may have the right to request erasure of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions, such as when we have a legal obligation to retain the data in question. After we receive and validate your request, we will delete your personal information, as well as direct our service providers to delete your personal information unless an exception applies.
‍
‍How to make disclosure, access, correction, or deletion requests

‍If you reside in a state that provides for enhanced privacy rights, you can request disclosure, access to, correction, and/or deletion of your personal data as described above by submitting a verifiable consumer request to us by:

Sending an e-mail to info@farmraise.us including the following information along with your request: your full name, company name (if applicable), address, e-mail address, and a phone number. We may request that you provide additional information if necessary to confirm your identity. This is for security purposes and is required by law in some cases.
Only you, or a person registered with the appropriate mechanism associated with your state of residency that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You have the right to make a free request up to two times in any 12-month period. We will respond to all validated requests within 45 days of receiving your request, unless we request an extension. In the event that we reasonably require an extension in order to respond to your request, we will notify you of any such extension within the initial 45-day period.

Non-Discrimination

‍FarmRaise does not discriminate against users who request to exercise their privacy rights. Unless an exception applies, this includes our promise not to:

Deny you goods or services;
Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; 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.

To ensure that your personal information is accurate and complete, please contact us through the email address below regarding any errors or updates affecting the personal information that we may hold. You may make a request by emailing us at info@farmraise.us or through the Services by using our chat widget on the web or by contacting us through our FarmRaise Tracks app to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information that we hold about you. Residents of California may also designate an authorized agent to exercise certain privacy rights on their behalf and should make any such request by contacting the above email address. To protect your privacy and security, FarmRaise may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to, correcting, or deleting data. We will generally respond to your request for information within 45 days, unless, for reasons beyond our control, a longer response time is necessary, in which case, you will be advised accordingly. Please note that we may retain certain information as required by law or as necessary for our legitimate business purposes.
