For example, we may use third parties to help us provide customer support, manage our advertisements on other sites, send marketing and other communications on our behalf or assist with data storage.

·       Process payments. We transmit your personal information via an encrypted connection to our payment processor.  

·       Following the law or protecting rights and interests. We disclose your personal information if we determine that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with the law, protect our or others’ rights, property or interests (such as enforcing our Terms of Service) or prevent fraud or abuse of johnnyappleseed.com.

7. Your rights and choices

Where applicable law requires (and subject to any relevant exceptions under law), you may have the right to access, update, change or delete personal information.

You can access, update, change or delete personal information either directly in your Account or by contacting us at johnny@johnnyappleseed.com to request the required changes. You can exercise your other rights (including deleting your Account) by contacting us via your Account or at the same email address. Please note that we may need to verify your identity in connection with your requests, and such verification process may, if you do not have access to your Account, require you to provide us with additional information (e.g., government identification). Even if you have access to your Account, we may request additional information if we believe it’s necessary to verify your identity. If we are unable to verify your identity or request, we may not, in accordance with applicable law, be able to fulfill your request.

You can also elect not to receive marketing communications by changing your preferences in your Account or by following the unsubscribe instructions in such communications.

Please note that, for technical reasons, there is likely to be a delay in deleting your personal information from our systems when you ask us to delete it. We also will retain personal information in order to comply with the law, protect our and others’ rights, resolve disputes or enforce our legal terms or policies, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

You may have the right to restrict or object to the processing of your personal information or to exercise a right to data portability under applicable law. You also may have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority, subject to applicable law. 

Additionally, if we rely on consent for the processing of your personal information, you have the right to withdraw it at any time and free of charge. When you do so, this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before your consent withdrawal.

Our Cookie Policy explains how you can manage cookies and similar technologies.

8. How we protect your personal information

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards that are intended to appropriately protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse and any other unlawful form of processing, of the personal information in our possession. 

9. How we retain your personal information

We retain personal information regarding you or your use of the Services for as long as your Account is active or for as long as needed to provide you with the Services. We also retain personal information for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, for example, to comply with our legal obligations, to protect us in the event of disputes and to enforce our agreements and to protect our and others’ interests.  

The precise periods for which we keep your personal information vary depending on the nature of the information and why we need it. Factors we consider in determining these periods include the minimum required retention period prescribed by law or recommended as best practice, the period during which a claim can be made with respect to an agreement or other matter, whether the personal information has been aggregated or pseudonymized, and other relevant criteria. For example, the period we keep your email address is connected to how long your Account is active, while the period for which we keep a support message is based on how long has passed since the last submission in the thread.

Please note that in the course of providing the Services, we collect and maintain aggregated, anonymized or de-personalized information which we may retain indefinitely.

10. California Residents

This Section 13 is only applicable to you if you are a resident of the state of California in the US (“California Residents”) and only applies to personal information for which Johnny Appleseed Organic is a “Business” (as defined in the CCPA), but does not apply to personal information we collect from you in the course of our provision of services to you where you are an employee, owner, director, officer or contractor of a company, partnership, sole proprietorship, non-profit or government agency. It applies to personal information we collect from California Residents on or through our Services and through other means (such as information collected offline or in person). 

a.    Categories, business and commercial purposes, sources and third parties

California law requires us to disclose certain information regarding the personal information we collect. The following is a list of all categories of personal information which Johnny Appleseed Organic collects, or has collected, from California Residents, in the twelve (12) months prior to the effective date of this Privacy Policy: 

·       Identifiers, such as your name and email address.

·       Commercial information, such as transaction data.

·       Financial data, such as partial payment information we receive from our payment processor.

·       Internet or other network or device activity, such as browsing history.

·       Location information, such as general information inferred from an IP address.

·       Sensory information, such as recordings of support calls.

·       Other information that identifies or can be reasonably associated with you.

We collect personal information directly from you (either directly or through a Third Party Service), automatically through your use of the services, and from third parties such as business partners, service providers, and payment processors.

We collect personal information for the following business purposes: (i) providing the Services (including without limitation maintaining your Account, processing and fulfilling orders, and administering surveys and contests); (ii) providing customer support for the Services; (iii) operating the Services (including without limitation managing third party relationships and enabling usage of our service providers); (iv) communicating with you; (v) customizing the Services; (vi) securing and protecting the Services (including without limitation auditing the Services, bug and fraud detection, debugging and repair of errors and the detection, protection and prosecution of security incidents or illegal activity); (vii) enforcing our terms and policies; (viii) complying with law; (ix) verifying your identity; and (x) other business purposes about which we may notify you from time to time. 

We collect personal information for uses that advance our commercial or economic interests such as: (i) promoting surveys and contests; (ii) promoting and advertising the Services; (iii) customizing the Services; (iv) improving our Services; (v) communicating with you about relevant offers from third parties; and (vi) other commercial purposes about which we may notify you from time to time.

b.    Your requests

Subject to certain exceptions and restrictions, the CCPA provides California Residents the right to submit requests to a business which has collected their personal information: (i) to provide them with access to the specific pieces and categories of personal information collected by the business about such California Resident, the categories of sources for such information, the business or commercial purposes for collecting such information, and the categories of third parties with which such information was shared; and (ii) to delete such personal information (each, a “California Request”). We need certain types of information so that we can provide our Services to you. If you ask us to delete some or all of your information, you may no longer be able to access or use the Services.

If you are a California Resident, please follow the instructions in the “Your rights and choices” section above to submit California Requests and please make sure you note that you are a California Resident when you do so. California Residents may designate an authorized agent to make California Requests on their behalf. In order to designate an authorized agent to make a California Request on your behalf, you or your agent must provide proof that the agent has been authorized by you to act on your behalf, such as written authorization signed by you authorizing that agent to act on your behalf. We reserve the right to request additional information from you and/or individuals purporting to be authorized agents, such as when we suspect fraud.

c.    Do not sell my personal information

California residents may opt out of the “sale” of their personal information. The CCPA broadly defines “sale” in a way that may include allowing third parties to receive certain information such as cookie identifiers, IP addresses and/or browsing behavior to add to a profile about your device, browser or you. Such profiles may enable delivery of interest-based advertising by such third parties within their platform or on other sites.

Depending on how you use the Services, we may share the following categories of information for such interest-based advertising which may be considered a sale (as defined by the CCPA): identification and demographics; device information and identifiers, such as IP address and unique advertising identifiers and cookies; connection and usage information, such as browsing history or app usage; and inference data. 

If you would like to opt out of Johnny Appleseed Organic’s use of your information for such purposes (to the extent this is considered a sale), you may do so within the Services. 

d.    We do not discriminate against you

You also have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising certain of your rights. Johnny Appleseed Organic does not discriminate against California Residents for exercising their rights.

11. Updates to this Privacy Policy

We’ll update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, our business operations or any other reason we determine is necessary or appropriate. When we make changes, we’ll update the “Effective Date” at the top of the Privacy Policy and post it on our sites. If we make material changes to it or the ways we process personal information, we’ll notify you (by, for example, prominently posting a notice of the changes on our sites before they take effect or directly sending you a notification).

We encourage you to check back periodically to review this Privacy Policy for any changes since your last visit.  This will help ensure you better understand your relationship with us, including the ways we process your personal information.

Cookies.

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your browser when you visit a site. They serve a variety of functions, like enabling us to remember certain information you provide to us as you navigate between pages on the Services. We use cookies on the website and associated domains of www.johnnyappleseed.com and on our web and mobile applications for the following purposes:

  • Authentication, Customization, Security and Other Functional Cookies. Cookies help us verify your Account and device and determine when you’re logged in, so we can make it easier for you to access the Services and provide the appropriate experiences and features. We also use cookies to help prevent fraudulent use of login credentials and to remember choices you’ve made on the Services, such as your language preference.
  • Performance And Analytics. Cookies help us analyze how the Services are being accessed and used, and enable us to track performance of the Services. For example, we use cookies to determine if you viewed a page or opened an email. This helps us provide you with information that you find interesting.
  • Third Parties. Third Party Services may use cookies to help you sign into their services from our Services. Any such third party cookie usage is governed by the policy of the third party placing the cookie.
  • Johnny Appleseed Organic Ads. We partner with third party publishers, advertising networks and service providers to manage our ads on other sites. Our third party partners may set cookies on your device or browser to gather information about your activities on the Services and other sites you visit, in order to provide you with Johnny Appleseed Organic ads. For example, if you visit Johnny Appleseed Organic and also use a social media platform, you may see a Johnny Appleseed Organic ad in your social media newsfeed or timeline.
  • Opting Out. You can set your browser to not accept cookies, but this may limit your ability to use the Services. We currently don’t respond to DNT:1 signals from browsers visiting our Services. You can also opt out of receiving interest-based ads from certain ad networks here (or if located in the European Union, here).

Device Identifiers.

We use device identifiers on Johnny Appleseed Organic web and mobile applications to track, analyze and improve the performance of the Services and our ads.

Third Party Tags.

We use and manage third party tags on the website and associated domains of www.johnnyappleseed.com and on Johnny Appleseed Organic web and mobile applications. Third party tags may take the form of pixels or tracking snippets. We use pixels to learn how you interact with our site pages and emails, and this information helps us and our ad partners provide you with a more tailored experience. We use tracking snippets to capture data from your browser, make requests to a third party partner or set cookies on your device to store data. For example, if you see a Johnny Appleseed Organic ad on a social media platform and choose to use Johnny Appleseed Organic, we may use a tag to reduce the number of Johnny Appleseed Organic ads you see on that platform. We use Google Tag Manager to manage our third party tag usage. This may cause other tags to be activated which may, for their part, collect data and set cookies under certain circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not store this data.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

In the case of vegetable-specific categories, contestants will compete on a self-directed basis informed by their preferences and the specific growing requirements of the USDA zone in which they’re located (i.e., a contestant located in Oregon will likely choose to germinate, transplant, harvest and weigh each vegetable on a different schedule than a grower in Florida). The social media posting/voting timeline for ‘Most Exquisitely Curated Container Arrangement’ and ‘Best Garden Hack’ will be simultaneous with other contestants and determined after receipt of all entries.

Contestants can plant multiple seeds and cultivars for each contest, but can only submit one final entry per category. Complete documentation per individual contest rules must be provided for all final cultivar entries. We will provide 6 grow bags per contestant to help facilitate creativity and success. Contestants can plant multiple grow bags for a single category, but must pick one final submission per category.

Contestants may not use any commercial fertilization input other than Johnny Appleseed Organic ClimateGard, but are allowed to supplement their fertilization regimen with homemade inputs like compost, pet or livestock manure, coffee grounds, etc.

SCORING

Each contestant is assigned points based on their ranking in each individual contest. The contestant with the highest number of accumulated points after all events conclude, wins the Johnny Appleseed Organic Challenge. After each event concludes and results are recorded, contestant’s scores and ranking will be updated on our live leaderboard! (Example of allotted points per competition: 1st place: 6 points, 2nd place: 5 points, 3rd place: 4 points, 4th place: 3 points, 5th place: 2 points, 6th place: 1 point)

Additionally, they may be shared or reposted on other platforms owned by any of the sponsors.

Contestants are welcome to create additional content for our blog (region-specific gardening, organic vegan recipes, etc) if desired and link to any correlating content on their social media accounts. We hope this opportunity provides increased engagement for our contestants!
