1. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We will update this Privacy Policy from time to time when we make changes impacting the Privacy Policy, such as adding new services and applications, improving our services, and addressing changes in technologies and laws. The Effective Date of this Privacy Policy, which is set forth at the top of this document, reflects the date the Privacy Policy was last updated. PMC will provide notice to you if these changes are material, and where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent. This notice will be provided by posting notice of the changes on our website or through our applications.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

“Personal Information” means information associated with or used to identify a specific person. Personal Information includes: (1) contact data (such as e-mail address, telephone number and employer); (2) demographic data (such as gender, date of birth and zip code); and (3) your responses on Surveys to the extent the information identifies you or is linked to you as an individually identifiable person (4) information relating to your use of PMC Services (“Usage Data”)..

“Usage Data” is information about activity while using Hemp Research Study or obtained while Hemp Research Study is active on your mobile device, such as (i) IP address; (ii) domain server; (iii) type of device(s) used to access Hemp Research Study; (iv) statistics and information associated with the interaction between your browser or device and Hemp Research Study, such as device model, carrier/network, battery life information to optimize location sampling based upon the remaining battery life, and basic usage statistics about your device; (v) real-time GPS or other geolocation data from your mobile device when you allow us to receive that information through the location (or similar) settings on your mobile device; and (vi) referring webpage or other source through which you accessed Hemp Research Study (collectively “Usage Data”).

Generally, we do not consider Usage Data as Personal Information because, in general, Usage Data by itself does not identify an individual. If we link Usage Data with other information in a way that renders the person individually identifiable, however, we will treat that information as Personal Information.

3. HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION

We collect information that you provide to us and from your use of Hemp Research Study. The information that we collect and how we process it depends on how you use and access Hemp Research Study.

PMC conducts market research to better understand consumer preferences about their goods and services and uses that information to derive consumer insights, such as where, when and how often consumers visit retail locations and their experiences during those visits. We collect this information for PMC as well as research on behalf of our Clients.

If you do not wish to have your information collected in this way, you can delete the app from your device.

§ Complete a Survey: We collect the information that you submit in Surveys about your consumer experiences and preferences. We may combine information from your Surveys with other information we received from Clients or other third parties to better understand your consumer experiences. We also may combine information from your Surveys with information from Surveys that other users complete. By completing a Survey, you consent to our use of the information you choose to provide us in reports and other analyses for PMC and our Clients, and in any other way disclosed to you at the time the information is collected.

§ Access PMC Services through Social Media Credentials: PMC may offer you the opportunity to use social networking services (collectively, “Social Media”) to access certain PMC Services. When you choose to access PMC Services through Social Media login credentials, PMC may, depending on your privacy settings, have access to information that you have provided to the Social Media platform, such as your name, email address, profile photo, posts, comments and other information associated with your Social Media account. We may use this information for any purposes described in this Privacy Policy and for any additional purposes of which you were advised at the time the information was collected. If you do not want your Social Media information to be shared with PMC by a Social Media provider, you should not use your Social Media accounts to access PMC Services.

From our Clients: For some of our products and services, our Clients may send us information about your interactions with their brands, products and services, which may include information relating to any loyalty programs in which you are enrolled and receipts with detailed information about transactions with our Clients. We may combine this information with other information we collect to enhance the research we conduct and services we provide for our Clients.

From Your Usage of Our Services: We automatically collect Usage Data when you interact with Hemp Research Study and when Hemp Research Study is active on your mobile device.
