Privacy Policy

1. Introduction
The Hempire Collective (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the mobile application “The Hempire Collective” (the “App”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our App. By downloading, installing or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect
We may collect and process the following types of personal and non-personal information:

Personal Information: information that identifies or can reasonably identify you, such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address (if applicable), account user ID, transaction history (if any), age/verification data.
Device & Usage Information: information about your device (e.g., device model, operating system version, unique device identifier, mobile network information), and usage data (e.g., when you use the App, duration, features used, crash reports, analytics).
Location Information: if you permit the App to access location services, we may collect geolocation data (GPS or similar) about your device’s approximate or precise location.
Payment / Transaction Information: if you make purchases (e.g., via in-App payments or memberships), we may collect payment and billing information (e.g., card type, transaction amount) from the payment processor (we do not store full card data ourselves).
Communications: any communications you send to us (e.g., support requests), and responses or associated metadata.

3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

Provide, operate and maintain the App and its features.
Create and manage your account, including verifying identity or age (if required for legal compliance).
Process your transactions, provide purchases and membership services.
Improve, personalize and analyze our App’s performance and user experience (including analytics).
To send you updates, notifications, promotional materials (if you’ve opted-in), and respond to your inquiries.
To detect, prevent and address technical issues, security threats, fraud or illegal activities.
Comply with legal obligations or enforce our rights.

4. Sharing & Disclosure of Your Information
We may share your information in the following circumstances:

With Service Providers: Third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., payment processors, analytics providers, crash-reporting services) — they access only the data needed to perform their services and are contractually required to keep it confidential.
With Business Partners: if we engage partners for co-marketing or in-App offers, we may share aggregated or de-identified data (unless you opt out).
For Legal & Regulatory Purposes: We may disclose your information when required by law, court order, governmental request, or to protect our rights, property or safety (or those of our users).
In the event of a Business Transfer: if we are acquired, merge, reorganize or sell substantially all of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction (you will be notified if this occurs).
With your Consent: We will share your information for other purposes if you give us your explicit consent.

5. Retention & Storage
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

We store data using secure systems and reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

6. Your Choices & Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information, such as:

Accessing, correcting or deleting your personal data.
Objecting to or restricting certain processing of your data.
Exporting your personal data in a machine-readable format.
Withdrawing consent to marketing communications.

To exercise any of these rights, you may contact us at the details provided below. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We and our service providers may use cookies, web beacons, mobile identifiers and similar tracking technologies to collect information about how you use the App. You can control or disable cookies through your device or App settings, though doing so may affect some features of the App.

8. International Transfers
If you are located outside the United States, please note that your data may be transferred, stored and processed in the U.S. or other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have different data protection laws. By using our App, you consent to such transfers.

9. Children’s Privacy
Our App is not intended for anyone under the age of 21. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us and we will take steps to delete the data.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements or other factors. If we make material changes, we will notify you via the App, by email (if we have it) and/or by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this policy. Your continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.

Important Note: This is a template only and does not constitute legal advice. Given your involvement in the cannabis industry (as you own a grow and dispensary), you may have additional regulatory obligations (e.g., state-cannabis compliance, child-use restrictions, age-verification, payment processing, HIPAA/health data if applicable) — you should consult with a lawyer experienced in app privacy + cannabis regulatory law to ensure full compliance.
