Electronic communication is the most effective and timely way to provide the users of the Site and services with any optional or required notifications and disclosures.

Data Security

The security of your personally identifiable information is very important to us. When we collect your personally identifiable information online, we use reasonable efforts to protect it from unauthorized access. However, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that your personally identifiable information will be completely free from unauthorized access by third parties such as hackers and your use of our Service demonstrates your assumption of this risk. As a result, you use the Site at your own risk. When registering with us on the Site, we encourage you to choose passwords of sufficient length and complexity, install the latest security updates and anti-virus software on your computer to help prevent malware and viruses, not share your password with others, and review your account information periodically. If there is any unexpected activity or inaccurate information or if you have reason to believe that your information is no longer secure, please contact us using the contact information provided above.

We have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect. Only those employees who need access to your information in order to perform their duties are authorized to have access to your personally identifiable information. For more information on protecting your privacy from identity theft, including how to install an identity freeze, please visit www.ftc.gov/privacy.

Do Not Track

Some internet browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not a uniform way that browsers communicate the “Do Not Track” signal, we do not currently interpret, respond to or alter its practices when it receives “Do Not Track” signals.

Data Retention

We only collect and process Personal Information that we need to perform the Services, including communicate with you, process an order or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. We have adopted policies that require us to delete or anonymize all data that are no longer required for the performance of these functions.

Your Disclosures In Blogs And Other Social Media

You should be aware that personally identifiable information which you voluntarily include and transmit online on the Service or in a publicly accessible blog, chat room, social media platform or otherwise online, or that you share in an open forum such as an in-person panel or survey, may be viewed and used by others without any restrictions. We are unable to control such uses of your personally identifiable information, and by using the Service or any other online services you assume the risk that the personally identifiable information provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties for any number of purposes.

If you login to the Sites and/or access our Services through your Facebook or other social media account, connect to a third party social media service such as Facebook or Twitter through an icon or link on the Service or otherwise link your UpTop Dispensary account with a third party service, we may share the contents of your post and associated information (such as your username, the fact that your connection originated from the Service, and other relevant usage and diagnostic information) with such third party. With your one-time consent, we may also send information about the content you watch and your activities on the Service to such third parties. Once such information is shared, the use of your information will be subject to that service’s privacy policy and this Privacy Policy will not apply.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions from this Privacy Policy at any time.
