This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from cascadiamushrooms.com (the “Site”, “our”, “us”, “we”). Your online safety is paramount of importance to us. Please reach out to info@cascadiamushrooms with any questions or concerns.  

Personal information we collect​

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”.

Fair Use of User-Generated Content​

You agree that any content created by you and posted on the website (in text, photo, or video form) may be used in any republication by Cascadia Mushrooms in use of marketing on print, digital, social media, or other commercial uses.

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:​

- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps. We periodically employ Lucky Orange to review user journeys and site heatmaps. You can opt-out of Lucky Orange tracking with the button on this page.

- “Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site. We use tracking pixels from standard sources such as Amazon, Facebook, Google, Instagram, and Pinterest.

Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information”.

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

How do we use your personal information?​

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:

- Communicate with you;

- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and

- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

Further use of this information includes remarketing ads to your device using a 3^rd party system (listed below).

Sharing your personal information​

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use WooCommerce to power our online store--you can read more about how WooCommerce uses your Personal Information here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/marketplace-privacy/. We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site -- you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

Social sharing features

Our site leverages social sharing integrations with networks such as Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. Tagging us on social media may give us visibility into your post and/or profile. In the event that you tag us on social media, we reserve the right to request the use of said photo or post, of which you have the right to deny our use of that information. We have fun sharing our goods and services and want to extend that offer to you.

Security​

In the unlikely event of a data security breach, you will be notified within 72 hours if your data may have been involved. Our site uses 256-bit SSL encryption technology to protect your personal information from external parties during your browsing and checkout activities. When purchasing online, our employees do not have access to your credit card information. If you provide your credit card information over the phone or in person, without the use of encryption, this information is permanently deleted immediately after use.

Behavioral advertising ​

As described above, we use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.
