Best Bud Service & Wholesale Privacy Policy

---

We want you to know that we respect your privacy. That’s why we’re committed to protecting it, ensuring your personal information is collected only where it is needed in order to provide service.

As you voluntarily interact with our site – setting up your account, verifying your age and more – we acquire this information, but we will only use it for the purpose for which it was collected. Please read on to learn more.

This means information about an identifiable individual. It includes things like your name, address, date of birth, and telephone number.

There are a number of reasons we need your info:

1. We need it to verify you are 18 years of age or older, because an important part of our mission is to keep cannabis out of the hands of children and youth.
2. We need it to ensure that you are purchasing cannabis products for yourself, and not others.
3. And we need it to ensure that your payments come from you, in order to minimize fraudulent purchases.

We also use your personal information to help enhance the shopping experience for yourself and others, using it for things such as:

1. to process, verify, and deliver your orders;
2. to better understand your product preferences;
3. to track and analyze trends and patterns;
4. to conduct and administer surveys;
5. to comply with legal and regulatory requirements;
6. to create aggregated information that does not allow you to be personally identified or contacted;
7. to send communications;
8. to tailor our online content to you based on your interactions with us and your preferences.

Only information necessary for the provision of materials, services and the operation of our website is collected. We collect it in accordance with the AGLC Cannabis Privacy Policy and under the authority of s.33(c) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act of Alberta (FOIP Act). The information is only used for the purpose for which it was collected and kept only for the length of time necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected – or as required by section 35 of the FOIP Act.

Your information is stored in secure Canadian data centres, where access is limited to administrators with the password.

We use a third-party analytics service to automatically collect a limited amount of information to assess this website’s performance and segment audiences who visit the website. In short, this is collected to help us make your experience with us better, finding out how users like yourself navigate through the site and what products are most popular. It is not used to create individual profiles nor is it used for commercial marketing purposes.
