Many jurisdictions require careful verification of identity before allowing you to purchase cannabis products. When you use our Services at a physical location, your government-issued identification card will be physically examined and electronically scanned in order to verify your age and your identification’s validity. Once your data has been scanned, your name, address, identification number, photo, and other data may be retained by Ethos, or its affiliates, for the purpose of analyzing your use of our Services, enforcing cannabis purchasing limits as required by some jurisdictions, creating an electronic profile about you in order to make future verifications of your identity easier and to help us customize Services and experiences for you.

Audiovisual footage captured in stores, and any photo of yourself that you supply, may also be used to help identify you, and customize your experience as you use our Services.

You acknowledge that audiovisual and photographic recordings of you may be stored by Ethos or its affiliates and accessed by and supplied to their employees, government agencies, and others at their sole discretion at any time, for any purpose, with or without a legal order or subpoena, and without notice or financial compensation to you.

Ethos’ Services have reasonable security measures in place designed to prevent accidental loss of your personal information and from unauthorized access, use alteration, or disclosure of the information that we obtain from you. Such measures include, but are not limited to, access controls, monitoring, and the utilization of encryption to securely transmit sensitive information.

Your continued use of the Services after we post any such modifications will constitute your acknowledgment of the modified Privacy Policy and your agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Privacy Policy. We will also revise the “last updated” date found at the beginning of this Privacy Policy when we post changes to it.

Severability

If any part of this Policy is found by a court to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the rest of the Policy will remain in effect.

These categories of personal information correspond with the following categories of personal information provided under the CCPA:

Consistent with the section entitled “Information Use and Sharing” above, personal information is provided directly by you (or by the devices you use) when you use our Services. It also lists the business and commercial purposes for which we collect California residents’ personal information. As described above in the section entitled “Information Use and Sharing,” we also share and/or disclose your personal information as follows:
• Sharing your personal information for business purposes. We may share the following categories of your personal information with subsidiaries, affiliated companies, subcontractors, service providers, third parties, public or government (including enforcement) authorities, creditors, and successors for our business purposes: government-issued identification card content; cannabis purchase histories; website preferences; debit or credit card details; and,
  contact information such as name, phone number, and email address. As described above, examples of business purposes include sending marketing messages to you, executing payment transactions, delivering products to you, registering your accounts, analyzing your purchasing histories, and maintaining and enhancing our Services.

• Sharing your personal information for commercial or other purposes.
