Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties except as required by law or to trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website and dispensary services (such as hosting, email delivery, or analytics), and who agree to keep your information confidential.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
We retain order and purchase data for as long as required for accounting, tax, and legal compliance purposes.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes (such as order records for tax compliance).
To exercise these rights, please contact us at the details provided on our Contact page.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Your data may also be transferred to and processed in the United States (where our servers are located) and may be subject to the laws of the United States and California.
