  1. Purpose and Agreement

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform users of the collection, use, and retention of personal data and the specific rights of our users. This Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into our Terms and Conditions (“Legal Terms”). By using our Site or any site within our Network, you agree to these practices.

  1. Consent and Sensitive Data

By using our Site, users consent to the conditions set out in this Privacy Policy.

  • Sensitive Data: In compliance with the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act (OCPA), we require explicit “opt-in” consent before processing sensitive data, such as precise geolocation (within 1,750 feet) related to cottage produce operation locations.
  1. Data Collection and Network Syndication

We limit data collection to what is adequate, relevant, and reasonably necessary to provide our services.

  • Intra-Network Syndication: Content you post (including contact info and locations) may be syndicated and broadcast across our Network of subsites and made available for search engine indexing to maximize ad exposure.
  • Purpose of Use: Data is primarily used to facilitate the advertising of cottage produce, administer accounts, and provide administrative support.
  1. Third-Party Disclosures

We do not sell your personal data for monetary consideration. We share specific data points with the following partners for security, payment, and marketing:

  • Google ReCaptcha: For web security and bot protection.
  • Stripe: For secure payment processing (we do not store credit card info on our servers).
  • Google & Social Media Entities (e.g., Meta): For marketing purposes, ad performance measurement, and content syndication.
  • The Public/Subscribers: Ad details and location information are displayed to the public or site subscribers as intended by the directory nature of the service.
  1. Data Retention and Security
  • Retention: Data is stored only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected (e.g., as long as your ad or account remains active).
  • Security: We utilize browser encryption and reasonable security safeguards. However, as the Internet can be insecure, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Users are advised not to store passwords or sensitive personal info in plain text on the Site.
  1. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under 18 years of age. Our services are strictly intended for users 18 and older. If we discover data from a minor has been collected, it will be deleted immediately.
