Privacy Policy

Most Recent Update: 11/2/2016

Overview

This is the Privacy Policy of Emerald Botanical Oils, Inc., a California corporation (“Emerald Botanical Oils,” “we,” or “us”). Our Terms of Service, which incorporate this Privacy Policy by reference, govern your use of the Site, including the purchase of Products through the Site. Any capitalized terms that are not defined in this Privacy Policy are defined in the Terms of Service.

Please read the Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy carefully. IMPORTANT: BY USING THE SITE AND/OR PURCHASING PRODUCTS THROUGH THE SITE, YOU GIVE YOUR CONSENT THAT ALL PERSONAL DATA THAT YOU SUBMIT MAY BE PROCESSED BY US IN THE MANNER AND FOR THE PURPOSES DESCRIBED BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT PURCHASE PRODUCTS THROUGH THE SITE OR OTHERWISE USE THE SITE.

Types of Information We Collect.

We collect two types of information about our users: Personal Information and Aggregate Information.

Personal Information: This refers to information that identifies you as an individual. When you engage in certain activities on the Site, such as registering for an account, purchasing a Product, or sending us feedback, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself. Examples of Personal Information may include your first and last name, email address, mailing address (including zip code), telephone number, credit card or other payment information (if you choose to purchase a Product), and other identifying information.

Aggregate Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We may gather Aggregate Information about you based upon your online behavior, such as the portions of the Site you visit and the identity of the other sites may have directed you to us. This information may include the Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that points to the site you just came from, the URL you go to after visiting our Site, the type of browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address.

How We Collect and Use Information

We may collect Personal Information about you if you voluntarily provide it to us or if another User provides it to us. You may be required to provide certain Personal Information to us when you elect to use certain features of the Site, such as: (a) registering for an account on the Site; (b) purchasing a Product; (c) sending us an email message; (d) signing up for special offers from third party advertisers; or (e) submitting payment information.

We use your Personal Information to enhance the operation of the Site, enable you to purchase Products, fill your orders for Products, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze Site use, improve our product and service offerings, and customize our content. We may use Personal Information to deliver information to you, including targeted advertisements, and to contact you regarding administrative notices. We may also use your Personal Information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our agreements with you, including our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy.

We and our third party business partners may also collect certain Aggregate Information. When you visit the Site, we may use tracking technologies such as cookies to facilitate access to the Site and to personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small data file that is sent by Web servers to your computer’s hard drive, where your Internet browser files are kept. Through the use of a cookie or similar technology, we also may automatically collect information about your online activity on the Site, such as the web pages you visit, the links you click, and the searches you conduct on the Site. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use some of the features offered on the Site. The information we obtain in this manner enables us to optimize your user experience, deliver targeted advertisements to you, and measure the overall effectiveness of our online advertising, content, programming or other activities. We may also allow business partners, contractors and other third parties to display advertisements on the Site. These companies may use tracking technologies, such as cookies, to collect information about users who view or interact with their advertisements. This information allows them to deliver targeted advertisements and gauge their effectiveness.

We do not separately collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across different websites. If you choose to click on an advertisement or other link displayed in the Site, we may track this information. If we already have your Personal Information (because you or another user provided it to us), we may associate that Personal Information with your online activities over time and across different websites. If you use a mechanism such as a web browser “do not track” signal to prevent collection of Personal Information about your online activities over time and across different websites, we will not deliberately attempt to override your choice. However, technology in this area is evolving, and it is possible that the technology used on the Site may automatically override your choice without any deliberate action on our part. Because of this, we cannot guarantee that your choice will be respected. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that a third party advertiser or business partner which has content embedded in the Site will not track your online activities over time and across different websites, nor how the third party business partner will respond to a “do not track” signal.

Release of Information

We will not sell your Personal Information to others.

We may provide some of our services through contractual arrangements made with affiliates, service providers, partners and other third parties (collectively, "Service Partners"). We may share Personal Information with Service Providers in order to fill your orders for Products, process your payments, and otherwise make the Site function. Please note that the use of your Personal Information by Service Partners and other third parties is governed by the respective privacy policies of those third parties.

Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personal Information to the appropriate governmental authorities. In such cases, we will disclose Personal Information upon receipt of a court order or subpoena or to voluntarily cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.

We may also provide Aggregate Information about our customers' sales, traffic patterns, and related Site information to third parties, including advertisers, but these statistics do not include any Personal Information.

Finally, if Emerald Botanical Oils is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, divestiture, or similar transaction, we may disclose Aggregate Information and Personal Information to the party that acquires Emerald Botanical Oils.

Your Information, Apps, & Links to Other Websites

We may make third-party applications such as the Facebook Like button (each an “App”) available to you for use in connection with the Site. Also, the Site may contain links to other websites not owned by us (each a “Third-Party Site”).

Your interactions with each App and Third-Party Site are governed by the terms of service and privacy policy of the company providing the App or Third-Party Site. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any third party, even if we happen to host or link to its Third-Party Site or App, and our Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by any third party. You should read each third party’s privacy policy to make sure you agree to its terms before using an App or Third-Party Site.

Personal Security

In an effort to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure or accidental loss or destruction of your personally identifiable information, we use reasonable efforts to secure the information you provide. ALTHOUGH WE TAKE REASONABLE STEPS TO SAFEGUARD AND PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION, WE CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTS OF HACKERS AND OTHERS WHO GAIN UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, AND WE MAKE NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE, THAT WE WILL PREVENT SUCH ACCESS. YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISK OF IDENTITY THEFT, RELATING TO THE ACTS OF THOSE WHO GAIN UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS. COMMUNICATIONS YOU MAY HAVE WITH US VIA EMAIL MAY NOT BE SECURE UNLESS WE ADVISE YOU THAT SECURITY MEASURES ARE IN PLACE PRIOR TO YOUR SENDING INFORMATION. YOU VOLUNTARILY ASSUME THE RISK OF COMMUNICATING WITH US BY EMAIL.

Please remember to help keep the Site secure by never sharing your username or password. If you think your password may have been compromised, please change it immediately or contact us at info@emeraldbotanicaloils.com for additional assistance.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy may be modified by us from time to time. If you have established a user account with us, we will also notify you by sending an email to the email address you most recently provided us in your account profile (unless we do not have such an email address). We are not responsible if any email notice gets caught by your SPAM filter and you do not see it, if you have given us the wrong email address or failed to update your address, or if there are other communications issues that prevent email from reaching you. Therefore, we encourage you to periodically visit this page to monitor any changes. The date the Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable e-mail address for you, and for periodically visiting the Site and this Privacy Policy to check for any changes.

International Users

The Site is hosted and operated in the United States of America. Those who access or use the Site from other jurisdictions do so at their own choice and risk and are solely responsible for compliance with local law. Please note that the personal information you submit to us will be transferred to and stored in the United States to be processed by us so we can provide the Site to you as set forth in this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service.

If you are not a resident of the United States, you acknowledge and agree that we may collect and use your personal information outside your home jurisdiction, and that we may store your personal information in the United States. Please note that the level of legal protection provided in the United States or other non-European countries in which you may access the Site may not be stringent as that under European Union privacy standards or the privacy laws of some other countries, possibly including your home jurisdiction.
