  1.  Third Parties

Third parties may receive information about you as follows:

  1. Advertisers: We may allow third parties to use Cookies through the Websites or Services to collect the same type of information for the same purposes that Grassland does for itself.  Third parties may be able to associate the information they collect with other information they have about you from other sources. We do not necessarily have access to or control over the Cookies they use, but you may be able to opt out of some of their practices by visiting the following links: Network Advertising InitiativeOmniture, and Digital Advertising Alliance.  Please note that opting out does not prevent the display of all advertisements to you.  Additionally, we may share non-personally identifiable information from or about you with third parties, such as location data, advertising identifiers, or a cryptographic hash of a common User Account identifier (such as an e-mail address), to facilitate the display of targeted advertising.  You may be able to limit our sharing of some of this information through your device settings, as described above.
  2. Service Providers: We may rely on third-party providers to support or provide some of the features and options that are available through the Websites, Services, or Transactable Sites.  We may also rely on third-party providers to perform certain services for us in connection with your use of the Websites or Services, such as communications and hosting services, network security, technical and customer support, tracking and reporting functions, quality assurance testing, payment processing, our own marketing of the Websites or Services, promotional and contest features, Transactable Sites’ product listings and brand management, and other functions.  We may share information from or about you with these third-party providers so that they can perform their services or complete your requests. These third-party providers may share information with us that they obtain from or about you in connection with providing their services or completing your requests. Third-party providers may also share this information with their subsidiaries, joint ventures, affiliates, partners, or other companies under common control. Some of our web pages may utilize framing techniques to serve content to you from our third-party providers, while preserving the look and feel of the Websites or Services.  In such cases, please note that the information you provide is being provided to the third party.
  3. Aggregate Information: We may share user information in the aggregate with third parties, such as advertisers, brand managers, and content distributors.  For example, we may disclose the number of users that have been exposed to, or clicked on, advertisements, or certain products available in the Transactable Sites or the general characteristics of such users.
  4. Business Transfers: We may share information from or about you with our subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, joint ventures, or other companies under common control, in which case we will require them to honor this Policy.  If another company acquires Grassland or all or substantially all of our assets, that company will possess the same information, and will assume the rights and obligations with respect to that information, as described in this Policy.
  5. Businesses on Grassland: We may share information from or about you (such as your age and gender, your devices, and your use of the Websites, Services, and/or Transactable Sites (such as which businesses you use or contact)) with businesses listed on Grassland.  Additionally, if you make a phone call to a business through or in connection with your use of the Websites or Services, we may share basic information about your call with the business that you contacted, such as the date and time of your call and your phone number (and other information that would have been available to the business had you contacted them directly, and not through the Websites or Services).  You may be able to limit our ability to collect and share your phone number through your phone’s settings or phone service provider.
  6. Investigations: We may investigate and disclose information from or about you if we have a good faith belief that such investigation or disclosure: (a) is reasonably necessary to comply with federal, state, or local legal process and legally binding law enforcement instructions and orders, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, judicial proceeding, or other legal process served on us; (b) is helpful to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the Websites, Services, or Transactable Sites; or (c) protects our rights, reputation, property, or that of our users, affiliates, clients, partners, or the public.  If you flag or otherwise complain to Grassland about content available through the Websites, Services, or items on the Transactable Sites, we may share the substance of your complaint with the contributor of that content or product in order to provide an opportunity for the contributor to respond and/or remedy the situation.
  7. Links: The Websites or Services may contain links to unaffiliated third-party services.  Except as set forth herein, we do not share your personal information with them and are not responsible for their privacy practices.  We suggest you read the privacy policies on or applicable to all such third-party services. The inclusion of a link to a third-party website does not imply endorsement of the linked site by us or by our affiliates.  Please note that your access and/or use of any third-party websites, including by providing any information, materials and/or other content to such sites, is entirely at your own risk.
  1.  Changes to Your User Account and E-Mail Preferences

You may cancel or modify the e-mail marketing communications you receive from us by following the instructions contained within our promotional e-mails or in some cases by logging into your User Account and changing your communications preferences.

Neither we, nor our third-party service providers, are responsible for updating previously provided information from the databases or other records of third-parties with whom we or our third-party service providers have shared such information.

  1.  Data Retention

We may retain information about you for the purposes authorized under this Policy unless prohibited by law.  For example, we may retain information to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the Websites, Services, or Transactable Sites or to comply with legal obligations.

  1.  Adults 18 and Older Only

The Websites and Services are intended for adults only and require that users be no less than 18 years of age.  Individuals under the age of 18 are prohibited from creating a User Account and profile, accessing the Websites or Services, and/or purchasing products on the Transactable Sites.  If you become aware that a user under the age of 18 has created a User Account, or is using false, stolen, or otherwise misleading information, please contact us immediately at 1 (877) 342-4888 , or at support@blackdahlia.co.

  1.  Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.  This includes using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which is software that encrypts the information you input, and encrypting and storing sensitive information in compliance with HIPAA.  However, no method of transmission over the Internet or via mobile device, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

To most efficiently serve you when placing orders through our Transactable Sites, credit card transactions and order fulfillment are handled by established third-party banking managers, processing agents, and distribution institutions.  They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information and to process and ship your order. Within the Transactable Sites, your information is kept on password-protected, limited access servers.  Wherever possible and applicable, the Transactable Sites’ servers reside behind a corporate firewall that maintains controls on access to the system from both our internal network and the Internet.
