At HEMPZOO.com our relationship with our customers is very important to us. That is why we work hard to protect your privacy and security.

We collect customer specific information in an effort to communicate details about our products, services, contests, and promotions and for other reasons described below. Please know that HEMPZOO™ will never disclose your personal information to any third party, unless it is necessary to provide you with products or services from HEMPZOO™ or as otherwise described in our Privacy Policy.

The decision to provide this information is optional, however, if you choose not to provide the requested information, you may not be able to use some or all of the features of the Web Site. Some of this information may be stored in the form of a "cookie" on your computer. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer. Your Web browser may give you the option to refuse cookies. You may not be able to use some or all of the features of the Web Site if you disable or delete cookies. We also may receive personal information through the use of social media web sites and services, mobile apps, or from other sources.
We automatically collect information regarding the actions you take on the Site (“Usage Data”). For example, each time you use the Web Site we may automatically collect the type of Web browser you use, your operating system, your Internet Service Provider, your IP address, the pages you view, and the time and duration of your visits to the Web Site. This anonymous usage information may be associated with your username or other personal information. We use this information to help us understand how people use the Web Site, and to enhance the services we offer. We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our servers and to administer the Web Site. Your IP address is used to help identify you and your shopping cart and to gather broad demographic information. Some of this information may also be stored using cookies.

We use your personal information and Usage Data to provide the Web Site, to fulfill your orders, and to otherwise provide you with services that you request. We may also use your personal information to e-mail, text message, mail, or otherwise send you information about new products and special features at HEMPZOO™. We may also offer you special promotions. If you prefer not to receive these e-mails, please indicate that when completing your order.

From time to time, we may establish marketing relationships with other people or entities whom we believe trustworthy and whom we have asked to confirm that their privacy practices are consistent with ours. We may disclose to third parties, certain usage data regarding the Web Site. Your Usage Data may be aggregated with the Usage Data of others and not identify you individually or it may include associated data that does identify you. We will not disclose, sell, trade, or share personal information to third parties, including for their direct marketing purposes, without your consent, except as explained in this Privacy Policy.
Security and Credit Card Safety
Protecting the safety of your credit card information is important to us. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your credit card information as it is transmitted to us. SSL is a highly sophisticated method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to our Web Site's servers.
To make sure you are accessing our secure server before you submit personal financial information, look at the lower left-hand corner of your Web browser. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser), then SSL is active. To double-check for security, look at the URL or “Address” line of your Web browser. If you have accessed a secure server, the first characters of the address in that line should change from "http" to "https".
That said, no data transmission over the Internet or other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect information transmitted on or through the Web Site, we cannot and do not guarantee the security of any information you transmit on or through the Web Site, and you do so at your own risk.
We urge our customers to be cautious with personal and account information.
If you think that you may have disclosed your personal or account information in error, or that you have been a victim of fraudulent account activity, please contact your bank and/or credit card company immediately. You may also wish to contact a credit reporting agency.
