You may optionally choose to provide your full name and other personal information (such as birthday, gender, location) to be publicly displayed in connection with your account and activity.

Your username, Ganja.com ID or alias is publicly displayed and connected to your Ganja.com activity. Other people may see your date joined, reviews, ratings, profile information, items listed for sale, shop pages, sold item listings, and comments in community spaces.

Ganja.com automatically receives and records some information from your browser or your mobile device when you visit the Site or use the Apps, such as your IP address or unique device identifier, cookies and data about which pages you visit on the Site or on the Apps. This information helps us analyze and understand how the Site and the Apps work for members and visitors, and provide a more personalized experience for members and visitors.

When you use the Apps, you may optionally choose to share your geo-location details with Ganja.com in order to use our location-based services. If you have provided your location details but would no longer like to share that information, you may opt out of those services through the settings on the Apps. You may also enable the Apps to access your mobile device’s camera to upload photographs to Ganja.com.

Some members or visitors may connect to or register an Ganja.com account using an external third-party application, such as Facebook, or an app developed using the Ganja.com API. Ganja.com may receive some data from those connected third-party applications. Connecting your Ganja.com account to third-party applications or services is optional, and when you connect your account to an external app, you will be given the opportunity to grant permission.

Ganja.com’s Terms of Use require all account owners to be at least 18 years of age (or have the permission and supervision of a responsible parent or legal guardian), therefore, this policy does not discuss use of our Site, our Apps, or services by minors.

Choice & Control

We know members of our community value having control over their own information, and therefore Ganja.com gives you the choice of providing, editing or removing certain information, as well as choice over how we contact you.

If you have optionally connected your account to an external, third-party application, such as Facebook, or an app developed using the Ganja.com API, you can remove permission for the app by changing your account settings.

If you no longer wish to use Ganja.com’s services or receive service-related messages, then you may close your account.

If you reside outside of North America or South America or if you use Direct Checkout in a currency other than US Dollars, you are contracting with Ganja.com Panama. Ganja.com Panama may share some of the data it gathers with Ganja.com, Inc. for purposes such as ID verification, transaction reviews and payment processing details. Ganja.com Panama is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ganja.com, Inc.

As part of the buying and selling process, Ganja.com will facilitate the sharing of information between the two members involved in the transaction. As part of the buying or selling process, you may obtain another Ganja.com member’s email address, shipping address, payment information, and/or other information. As described in Ganja.com’s Terms of Use, you have a limited license to use this information only for Ganja.com-related communications or for Ganja.com-facilitated transactions. Ganja.com has not granted you a license to use the information for unsolicited commercial messages or unauthorized transactions. Without express consent from that person, you must not add any Ganja.com member to your email or physical mailing list or store or misuse any payment information.

Ganja.com may release your personal information to a third-party in order to protect, establish, or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; comply with a subpoena, court order, legal process, or other legal requirement; or when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, threats to our property, or violations of Ganja.com’s Terms of Use. We may disclose personally identifiable information to parties in compliance with our Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy, as we in our sole discretion believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. In such events, Ganja.com may disclose a name, address, country, phone number, email address and company name.

Ganja.com is affiliated with a variety of businesses and works closely with them. These businesses may offer promotions or sell items or services to you through Ganja.com’s services. Ganja.com may also provide services or sell products jointly with affiliated businesses. Due to the nature of our business model, when an affiliated business is associated with your transaction, we may share information that is related to such transaction with that affiliated business. Ganja.com may share aggregated demographic information with business partners.

In some cases, Ganja.com may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions (such as a sale, merger, liquidation, receivership or transfer of all or substantially all of Ganja.com’s assets), member information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. In the event that Ganja.com transfers information about you, Ganja.com will notify you by email or by putting a prominent notice on the Site and the App, and you will be afforded an opportunity to opt-out before information about you becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Third-party plug-ins also may collect information about your use of the Site. For example, when you a load a page on Ganja.com that has a social plug-in from a third-party site or service, such as a Like or Send button, you are also loading content from that third-party site. That site may request cookies directly from your browser. These interactions are subject to the privacy policy of the third-party site. In addition, certain cookies and other tracking mechanisms on our site are used by third parties for targeted online marketing and other purposes. These technologies allow a partner to recognize your computer or mobile device each time you visit Ganja.com, but do not allow access to personally identifiable information from Ganja.com. Ganja.com does not have access or control over these third-party technologies, and they are not covered by our privacy policy. If you prefer to prevent third parties from setting and accessing cookies on your computer, you may set your browser to block cookies. And you may opt out of the use of cookies by Google Analytics here. Additionally, you may remove yourself from the interest-based advertising of companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance program by opting out here (or if located in the European Union click here). Although our website currently does not respond to “do not track” browser headers, you can limit tracking by taking these steps.

We can only speak for ourselves; this policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that Ganja.com does not own or control, or individuals that Ganja.com does not employ or manage. If you provide your information to others on Ganja.com or throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to the use or disclosure of the information you provide to them. Ganja.com does not control the privacy policies of third parties, and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable. Ganja.com is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of other websites on the Internet, even those linked to or from the Ganja.com Site or Apps. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.

Ganja.com follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once Ganja.com receives it.
