While using our Site, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to, the following:
Your name, address, email address, and/or phone number.
Information regarding your use of our App and/or Site, and which website(s) you came to our Site from.
Technical information about your device or browser when you use our App and/or Site, including geolocation data to determine what country you are accessing our App and/or Site from, your internet protocol (IP) address, device ID, browser type and version, and time zone setting, which may in some circumstances be personal data.
We may also receive personal data directly from you or from various third parties and public sources, including from social media channels (if you interact with us through those channels), or other third parties.
In the table below, we set out all of the ways we use your personal data, and why. We have also identified what our legitimate business interests are, where appropriate.
We use your personal data to create aggregated data sets. You are not identifiable from that aggregated data and it is not considered personal data in the manner that it is generally used. However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal data in a way that results in your direct or indirect identification, we treat the combined data as personal data, and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We send you marketing communications through a number of different channels. You may receive newsletters, email notifications, and other marketing communications that either you request from us or which you consent to by opting in when completing a registration form on our service, and/or if you do not ask, or you have not asked us to stop sending marketing by email to you.
GrowsOnline does not sell User Information to third parties. However, we may share User Information with our staff, business partners, and third party service providers, for marketing, advertising or product/service offering purposes. For example, we provide User Information to our third party service providers for direct emailing of our newsletters, online surveys, or notifications about GrowsOnline offers. We also disclose User Information if: we have your consent and/or we need to share it in order to provide you with the products and/or services you requested. You may separately agree to provide your personal information to third parties that provide content for GrowsOnline offerings, in order to access and/or use their products and/or services. If you agree to provide such information to these third parties, then your personal information will be subject to the third parties’ privacy policies, which you are encouraged to review.
You may opt out of receiving such marketing communications and notifications from us at any time. There are several ways you can do this. To stop receiving marketing by email: click ‘unsubscribe‘ or ‘update preferences’ in any email communication that we send; contact us in writing; or call us to opt out.
We will only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
At the end of an applicable retention period, your data will either be deleted or anonymized (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and any applicable legal requirements.

This information is then bundled with similar information from other users, so that we can analyze general usage patterns.
Essential cookies. These are necessary for us to provide you with the services that you have asked for. Without these essential cookies, our Site would not be able to operate. They are necessary to enable users to navigate through the Site and use its main features, e.g., essential cookies identify registered users so that they can access member-only areas of the site. Essential cookies keep users logged in. If a user disables essential cookies, that user will not be able to access all of the content that a subscription entitles them to. These cookies do not collect information that could be utilized for the purposes of marketing or determining what places on the internet you have visited.
To show relevant advertising. When we allow ads on our Site, they can contain cookies in order to provide ads most relevant to your interests. These cookies can also help to limit the number of times you see a particular ad and to assess the effectiveness of specific advertising campaigns.
To improve your browsing experience. These types of cookies enable the Site to remember users’ preferences and settings, such as geographic region or language. They can also be used to restrict the number of times an ad is shown, or to remember which forms you have already filled in so that you do not have to enter all of the same information again.
There is a way to turn off cookies by going to your browser’s Help, Settings, Preferences or similar menu. However, keep in mind that disabling cookies may limit your use of the Site and/or delay or affect the way in which it operates.
