branded pages on social media services, or any of the other sites, services,
features, content, applications and products we offer in the United States (collectively,

from various sources, including, without limitation: (i) when you visit our
website; (ii) if you register for the Services, through your user account on
the Services (your “Account”); (iii) your use of the Services generally,
including any purchases that you make on the Services; and (iv) from third
party websites and services that interact with our Services.
CONSENT
When
you visit www.hempwolf.com or otherwise use the Services, you are consenting to
the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of
your information as permitted by this Privacy Policy.
The Services are hosted and operated in the United States and are subject to United States law. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that any Personal Information (as defined below) that you provide to us is being provided to us in the United States and will be hosted on United States servers.
WHAT DOES THIS
PRIVACY POLICY COVER?
This
Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information
(“Personal Information”) gathered when you are using or accessing the Services,
as well as our treatment of any Personal Information that our partners, service
providers and other persons and entities with whom we conduct business
(“Business Partners”) share with us or that we share with our Business Partners
where permitted by this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control, including, but not limited to, any third party websites, services, products or applications (each, a “Third Party Service”) that you elect to access through the Services, or to individuals that we do not manage or employ. While we attempt to facilitate access only to those Third Party Services that share our respect for your privacy, we cannot take responsibility for the content, products, services or privacy policies of those Third Party Services. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third Party Services you access.
NOTICE OF WHAT
INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT
In
connection with certain aspects of the Services, we may request, collect,
display and/or disclose some of your Personal Information. From time to time,
we may also supplement information we collect from you with other information
we collect or with information we receive from third parties, which may include
associating non-personally identifiable information with Personal Information.
The information we gather, including the types of information described below,
enables us (or our Business Partners) to personalize, improve and continue to
operate the Services or to provide you with information, products and services
that we believe may be of interest to you. Except as otherwise specified below,
such information may be used by us (or our Business Partners) in connection
with such purposes.
ACCOUNT INFORMATION:
When
you create an account on the Services (“Account”), you will provide information
that could be Personal Information, such as your email address and password. In
addition, you may elect to provide us with your telephone number in order to
receive certain information, including, without limitation, promotional offers,
from us via Text Message (as defined below). Moreover, if you register for or
access the Services using a Third Party Service (such as your social media
login credentials, as further described below), we may receive Personal Information
that you allow such Third Party Service to share with us. You should consult
such Third Party Services’ privacy policies.
We (directly or through our Business Partners) may use such Personal Information and any transaction data relating to your Account or other information relating to your use of the Services for purposes relating to our business or otherwise permitted by this Privacy Policy, including, without limitation, to send you information which we think you might find useful or of interest about our Services. You may unsubscribe from some of these messages by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email message from us or by contacting us directly at wolf@hempwolf.com, although we reserve the right to contact you when we believe it is necessary, such as for account recovery purposes or in connection with a purchase you have made on the Services.
INFORMATION REGARDING
YOUR SOCIAL NETWORKS:
As
mentioned above, you may be able to register for or access the Services using a
Third Party Service, such as your social media account (e.g., Facebook,
Twitter, etc.) (“Social Media Services”). Occasionally, you can also use your
Account on our Services to interact with your accounts on Social Media
Services. For example, you may be able to access posting and sharing tools on
the Services that allow you to post information to your Social Media Services
(“Share”), or interact with us through Social Media Services by tagging us or
our products on such services. When you use these tools or tag or mention us or
our products, or otherwise interact with us through Social Media Services, you
acknowledge and agree that some information and content relating to your
account on the applicable Social Media Services may be transmitted to us, and
that our use of such information is covered by this Privacy Policy, and you
hereby allow us to use such information or content in connection with our
business, including across our properties and for commercial purposes, or as
otherwise permitted by this Privacy Policy. Furthermore, when you use these
tools or post to our Services, we may share some of your information and
content from our Services with certain Social Media Services, including through
our branded pages on such Social Media Services, and such information and
content would be subject to the privacy policies of such Social Media Services.
Additionally, if a tool, such as the Share tool, is operated by a Third Party Service,
the Third Party Service that operates the tool may collect information about
your browser or online activity, which would be subject to the Third Party
Service’s privacy policy. Therefore, we encourage you to read the privacy
policies and other policies of any Third Party Services, including any
applicable Social Media Services that you use in connection with the Services.
We may also collect and receive your social media account login credentials in connection with providing you with the Services, but only if you expressly provide us with such information. We will only use such login information as permitted by this Privacy Policy or as otherwise expressly authorized by you.
USER CONTENT:
Some
features of the Services may now or in the future allow you to provide content,
such as written comments or reviews, to the Services, including through Social
Media Services as described above. We may retain all content submitted by you
to the Services, including through Social Media Services, indefinitely, even
after you terminate your Account. We may use or continue to disclose such
content to Business Partners as permitted by this Privacy Policy.
SHIPPING AND BILLING
INFORMATION:
If
you place an order through the Services, we will ask you for your shipping address,
telephone number and credit card information and/or certain other Personal
Information about you. We use this information for purposes such as processing
and fulfilling your orders, notifying you of your order status and otherwise
communicating with you in connection with the Services. We also retain this
information as part of your Account for your convenience in making future
purchases.
All credit card information and shipping information regularly collected through the Services is encrypted and maintained using industry standard methods designed to ensure its security against loss or theft, including during transmission to our third party payment processing company (the “Payment Processor”), which is currently PayPal. Please note that your financial information, such as your payment method (valid credit card number, type, expiration date or other financial information) is used and stored by our Payment Processor, and use and storage of that information by the Payment Processor is governed by the Payment Processor’s applicable terms of service and privacy policy (https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full). We may from time to time request and receive some of your financial information from our Payment Processor or from you directly for purposes of completing transactions you have initiated through the Services, enrolling you in discount and other programs in which you elect to participate, protecting against or identifying possible fraudulent transactions, and otherwise as needed to manage our business.
COMMUNICATIONS WITH
US:
We
may collect Personal Information when you communicate with us. For example, if
you choose to send us Personal Information by sending us an email, completing a
survey or contacting our customer service department, we will keep a record of
that communication and may collect and use Personal Information that you
provide to us in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If we communicate with
you via email, SMS, MMS or other text message (“Text Message”) or push
notifications (to the extent you permit us to do so), we may collect
information regarding such communications, such as confirmation when you open
an email, read a Text Message or receive a push notification. We use this
information for purposes such as to operate and improve our Services, including
our customer service, or as otherwise permitted by this Privacy Policy. If you
opt to have promotional offers from us sent to your mobile device, we may send
you Text Messages regarding such promotional offers to the telephone number you
provided to us. To opt out of receiving promotional Text Messages from us,
reply “STOP” to any such message.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
AUTOMATICALLY:
Generally,
the Services automatically collect certain usage information, such as the
number and frequency of visitors to the Services that we may use in aggregate
or anonymized form. This type of aggregate data enables us and third parties
authorized by us to better understand our Services, such as by helping us
figure out how often individuals use parts of the Services so that we can
analyze and improve them. We also automatically receive and record information
from your web browser when you interact with the Services, such as your IP
address, browser type, ISP, referring/exit pages and cookie information. We may
also collect device-specific information about the device you use to access the
Services, such as unique device identifiers, network information and hardware
model, as well as information about how the device interacts with our Services
and information about where you access the Services from. This information is
used for purposes such as facilitating analyses of data concerning registered
and unregistered users’ interaction with the Services (e.g., what links you
have clicked on). Non-Personal Information (defined below) that we
automatically collect may be combined by us or our Business Partners with other
information about you, including Personal Information, and used in connection
with our business or to provide you with information, products and services
that we believe may be of interest to you.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
USING COOKIES:
Cookies
are pieces of text that may be provided to your computer through your web browser
when you access a website. Your browser stores cookies in a manner associated
with each website you visit. Some cookies last only for the duration of your
web session and expire when you exit the browser, while other cookies may
remember you when you return to the Services, as you continue your web session
and after you exit the browser. We use cookies to enable our servers to
recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you visit and otherwise use
the Services through the Internet, for purposes such as analyzing trends and
learning about our customers and user base. For example, we use some services
from third party vendors, such as Google Analytics Advertising Features,
operated by Google, Inc. (“Google”) (which may include, without limitation,
Remarketing with Analytics, Demographics and Interests reporting, Segments and
DoubleClick Campaign Manager), that use cookies, including first party cookies
(such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third party cookies, for purposes
such as to inform, optimize, remarket and serve ads based on your visits to the
Services. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google
Analytics about your visits to the Services is subject to the Google Analytics
Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You may find additional information
about Google Analytics at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You
have the option to opt out of Google’s use of cookies by changing your settings
through Google Ad Settings, visiting the Google advertising opt-out page at http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/ or the
Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/ or
through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page described below.
We may combine Non-Personal Information (defined below) collected through cookies or other automatic means with other Personal Information that we have about you, for example, to tell us who you are or whether you have an Account.
Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide whether to accept each new cookie in a variety of ways. We recommend that you leave cookies active because they enable you to take advantage of some of the most attractive features of the Services.
You can learn more about cookies by visiting http://www.allaboutcookies.org, which includes additional useful information about cookies and how to block cookies using different types of browsers.
AGGREGATE
INFORMATION:
We
collect statistical information about how both unregistered and registered
users, collectively, use the Services (“Aggregate Information”). Some of this
information is derived from Personal Information. This Aggregate Information is
not Personal Information and cannot be tied back to you, your Account or your
web browser, and we may use or disclose such Aggregate Information to a third
party for any purpose.
ANALYTICS AND
ADVERTISING SERVICES PROVIDED BY OTHERS:
We
may use one or more Third Party Services, such as Google Analytics, ad servers,
ad agencies, ad technology vendors and research firms, for analytics and
advertising services such as to provide audience measurement and analytics
services to us, to serve ads on our behalf, to track and report on the
performance of those advertisements, to collect information via the Services
for marketing and advertising purposes, and to identify people who are most
likely to respond to our advertisements. Furthermore, our advertisements may be
targeted to users who fit a certain general profile category and may be based
on (i) anonymized information inferred from information provided to us by a
user, including Personal Information (e.g., gender or age), (ii) user activity
and usage patterns with respect to the Services or (iii) user activity on Third
Party Services.
In connection with these services, we and/or these Third Party Services may collect and use information about your visits to the Services and Third Party Services and your interaction with our products, the Services and other Third Party Services using cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, SDKs and other technologies (collectively, “Tracking Tools”) to identify your device and track your activities when you visit or use our Services, as well as when you visit other online sites and services, including over time, across different websites and apps and across various devices, and this information may include information such as your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information. For example, web beacons allow us and Third Party Services to provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for us and for other advertisers. Web beacons also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit other websites. Because your web browser must request these advertisements and web beacons from an ad network’s servers, these Third Party Services can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.
As a result of some of these services, targeted or interest-based advertisements or recommendations may appear on our Services or other sites or services that you visit or access (known as “behavioral advertising”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree that you are giving us your consent to set and access Tracking Tools and to track your activities and use of the Services through these Tracking Tools in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you would like more information about this practice and how to opt out of having your information used for certain behavioral advertising purposes and by certain participating parties, please (a) visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ or http://www.aboutads.info/choices (for web-based advertising and collection) and (b) visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choice or download the Ghostery mobile application (for mobile advertising and collection). Additionally, many network advertising programs allow you to view and manage the interest categories they have compiled from your online browsing activities. These interest categories help determine the types of targeted advertisements you may receive.
Please note that even if you choose to opt out of having information collected for behavioral advertising purposes, you may still see advertisements while you are browsing online; however, such advertisements may be less relevant to you and your interests. Please note that if you opt out of targeted advertising, we may still track your visits to our Services for analytics, operations and security purposes.

some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of
transactions, user information is often one of the transferred business assets.
Moreover, if we, or substantially all of our assets, were acquired, or if we go
out of business or enter bankruptcy, user information would be one of the
assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that
such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of us or our assets may
continue to use your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

limiting access to your computer, browser and any other device you use to
access your Account, and by signing off after you have finished accessing your

WHAT CHOICES DO I
HAVE REGARDING MY INFORMATION?
You can use some of the features of the
Services without registering, thereby limiting the type of information that we

The Services do not support Do Not Track requests at this time, which means that we may collect information about your online activity both while you are using the Services and after you leave our properties. Remember that this is just our Do Not Track policy, and we cannot and do not make any promises about how third parties react when you set this signal on your browser.
- You can choose to opt out of certain communications or communication methods; however, if you do so, you may not be able to take advantage of some of our Services’ best features.
