All information transmitted between your device and our servers is protected using industry-standard encryption technologies, including HTTPS and Transport Layer Security (TLS), whenever applicable. While we continually work to maintain a secure environment, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide our Services, maintain your account, administer our loyalty program, fulfill legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and protect the security of our platform.

When your information is no longer required, we securely delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable laws and industry best practices.

After verifying your identity, we will process your request within a reasonable timeframe unless we are legally required to retain certain information for compliance, fraud prevention, tax reporting, security, or other legitimate business purposes.

Please note that deleting your account may permanently remove access to your loyalty rewards, account history, saved preferences, subscriptions, and other personalized features.

International Data Transfers

Our Services are operated from the United States. If you access our Services from another country, your information may be transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States or other countries where our trusted service providers operate.

By using our Services, you acknowledge and consent to these international transfers where permitted by applicable law.

Third-Party Services

Our Services may contain links to websites, products, or services operated by third parties. Because these third-party services operate independently from Collective Elevation, we are not responsible for their privacy practices, security measures, or content.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites before providing personal information.

External Retailers & Purchases

The Collective Elevation mobile application is intended solely for informational purposes, loyalty features, and dispensary discovery.

The App does not process cannabis purchases, payments, or deliveries.

If you choose to purchase products from a licensed cannabis retailer, you may be redirected to that retailer's website or another authorized third-party platform. Any purchase, payment, age verification, order fulfillment, or delivery is completed entirely outside of the Collective Elevation App and is governed by the retailer's own terms, policies, and privacy practices.

Collective Elevation is not responsible for transactions conducted on third-party websites.

Loyalty Program

Our Services may include access to retailer loyalty and rewards programs.

To administer these programs, we may collect information such as your name, contact details, loyalty account identifier, reward activity, preferred retailer, and marketing preferences.

This information is used exclusively to manage your participation in loyalty programs, deliver rewards, and enhance your overall experience.

Marketing Communications

With your permission, we may send newsletters, promotional emails, SMS messages, loyalty updates, push notifications, and other marketing communications.

You can unsubscribe or modify your communication preferences at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in emails, replying STOP to eligible SMS messages, updating your account preferences, or disabling notifications within your device settings.

Please note that service-related, security, or transactional communications may still be sent when necessary.

Children's Privacy

Our Services are intended only for individuals who are legally permitted to access cannabis-related information within their jurisdiction.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals who are below the legal age required by applicable law. If we learn that personal information has been collected from an underage individual, we will promptly delete that information.

Parents or legal guardians who believe their child has submitted personal information should contact us immediately.

Cannabis Compliance Statement

Collective Elevation provides educational resources, dispensary information, loyalty features, and related informational services.

The Collective Elevation App is not an e-commerce platform and does not facilitate cannabis sales, in-app purchases, payments, or deliveries.

Any cannabis-related purchase is completed exclusively through licensed third-party retailers outside of the App and remains subject to all applicable federal, state, provincial, and local laws.

Users are solely responsible for ensuring their compliance with the laws applicable in their jurisdiction.

Do Not Track

Some internet browsers support "Do Not Track" (DNT) requests. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, our Services do not currently respond to these requests. If industry standards evolve, we may update our practices accordingly.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, legal requirements, or business practices.

When updates are made, we will revise the Effective Date displayed at the top of this page. If material changes occur, we may also provide additional notice through our website, mobile application, email, or other appropriate communication channels.

Your continued use of our Services after any revisions become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, your personal information, or your privacy rights, please contact us.
