Data protection laws recognize certain categories of personal information as sensitive  and therefore requiring greater protection, for example information about your health,  gender, political views, ethnicity and religion.

We review our retention periods on a regular basis. 

Who has access to your information? 

We do not sell or rent your information to third parties. 

We do not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. However, we may disclose your information to third parties in order to achieve the other  purposes set out in this policy. These third parties may include: 

Third parties working on our behalf: 

We may pass your information to our third-party service providers, suppliers, agents,  subcontractors and other associated organizations for the purposes of completing tasks  and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to send you mailings).  However, when we use these third parties, we disclose only the personal information  that is necessary to deliver the services and we have a contract in place that requires  them to keep your information secure and prevents them from using it for their own  direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties for them to use for their own direct marketing purposes,  unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example,  by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime. 

Third Party Product Providers we work with: 

our trusted third-party product providers provide a range of services. When you inquire  about or purchase one or more of these products, the relevant third-party product  provider will use your details to provide you with information and carry out their  obligations arising from any contracts you have entered into with them. They will be  acting as a joint controller of your information and therefore we advise you to read their  Privacy Policy. These third-party product providers will share your information with us  which we will use in accordance with this policy. 

We may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of a sale of some or  all of our business and assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganization, or if we’re under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in  order to comply with any legal obligation or to enforce or apply our terms of use or to 

protect the rights, property or safety of our staff, supporters, customers, users of the  website or others. However, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy  rights continue to be protected. 

Lawful Processing 

Data protection law requires us to rely on one or more lawful grounds to process your  personal information. We consider the following grounds to be relevant: 

Specific Consent 

Where you have provided specific consent to us using your personal information in a  certain way, such as to send you email, text and/or telephone marketing. 

Performance of a contract 

Where we are entering into a contract with you or performing our obligations under it. 

Legal obligation 

Where necessary so that we can comply with a legal or regulatory obligation to which  we are subject, for example where we are ordered by a court or regulatory authority. 

Vital interests 

Where it is necessary to protect life or health (for example in the case of medical  emergency suffered by an individual at one of our events) or a safeguarding issue which requires us to share your information with the emergency services. 

Legitimate interests 

Where it is reasonably necessary to achieve our or others’ legitimate interests (as long  as what the information is used for is fair and does not duly impact your rights). 

We consider our legitimate interests to be running Royal Blend Dispensary LLC as a  state licensed organization in pursuit of our aims and ideals. For example to: • send postal communications which we think will be of interest to you; • conduct research to better understand who our supporters are to better target our marketing and advertising; 

• monitor who we deal with to protect the organization against fraud, money laundering  and other risks; 

• enhance, modify, personalize or otherwise improve our services /communications for  the benefit of our customers; and 

• understand better how people interact with our website. 

When we legitimately process your personal information in this way, we consider and  balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under  data protection laws. We will not use your personal information where our interests are  overridden by the impact on you, for example, where use would be excessively intrusive  (unless, for instance, we are otherwise required or permitted to by law).

When we use sensitive personal information, we require an additional legal basis to do  so under data protection laws, so we will either do so on the basis of your explicit consent or another route available to us at law (for example, if we need to process it for  employment, social security or social protection purposes, your vital interests, or, in some cases, if it is in the public interest for us to do so). 

Email/text/Phone 

We will only send you marketing communications by email, text and telephone if you  have explicitly provided your prior consent. You may opt out of our marketing communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the end of our marketing  emails. 

Mail 

We may send you marketing communications by mail unless you have told us that you  would prefer not to hear from us. 

Your choices 

We’re committed to putting you in control of your data so you’re free to change your  marketing preferences (including to tell us that you don’t want to be contacted for  marketing purposes) at any time by contacting us at info@royalblenddispensary.com We will not use your personal information for marketing purposes if you have indicated  that you do not wish to be contacted and will retain your details on a suppression list to  help ensure that we do not continue to contact you. However, we may still need to  contact you for administrative purposes like where we are thanking you for your  participation in an event. 

Building Profiles 

We may analyze your personal information to create a profile of your interests and  preferences so that we can tailor and target our communications in a way that is timely and relevant to you. We may make use of additional information about you when it is  available from external sources to help us do this effectively. This allows us to be more  focused, efficient and cost effective with our resources and also reduces the risk of  someone receiving information they may find inappropriate or irrelevant. 

We’re committed to putting you in control of your data so you’re free to opt out of your  information being used in this way at any time by contacting 

info@royalblenddispensary.com. 

We may also use your personal information to detect and reduce fraud and credit risk.
