The information we learn from you helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at our online store. Here are the types of information we gather.

• Automatic Information:
  Our web site automatically stores certain types of information whenever you interact with us - such as the internet address of your computer (IP address), what type of web browser you are using to visit our site, and similar information.
   
• Cookies:
  Like many other sites, our web site will ask to store a cookie on your computer. A cookie is a small file which allows our site to recognize you when you visit our site, and provide features like automatic login, premanent shopping carts, and favorite products, just to name a few.
  
  The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of our web site's best features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
   
• Information You Give Us:
  We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you.
   
• E-mail Addresses:
  Our web site does not 'capture' or otherwise attempt to discover your e-mail address. We only store your e-mail address if you have submitted it, such as when creating your own account, purchasing products from us, or communicating via our contact form. If we have your e-mail address, you may receive follow-up and future communications via e-mail, including order information, notification about updates to our web site and special offers from us. Your e-mail address will never be shared with, or sold to any other business or organization for commercial purposes. If you do not wish to receive e-mail messages from us, please let us know by using the form on our contact page.

Protection and Compliance:
We may release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law enforcement; or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of our business, our users, or others.

How Secure Is Information About Me?
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using minimum 128-bit SSL encryption whenever any important information is requested. This is the same encryption used by banks and government agencies. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer.

Children
Our online store is not intended to sell products for purchase by children. If you are under 18, you may use our online store only with involvement of a parent or guardian.

Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions
If you choose to visit our online store, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice and our Conditions of Use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the province of Alberta. If you have any concern about privacy at our web site, please send us a thorough description to webmaster@growerdirectcalgary.com, and we will try to resolve it. Our business changes constantly. This Notice and the Conditions of Use will change also, and use of information that we gather now is subject to the Privacy Notice in effect at the time of use. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes.
