We may receive and store any PII that you provide on our Service, send to us in an email or voluntarily provide to us in any other way. As you use, access, or register for the Service, you may be asked to provide certain PII.

7.3. Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information

Hemps Pharma also collects data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with an individual person.

When Hemps Pharma employs a third party to perform a function of this nature, we provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function, which may include PII of users. Hemps Pharma requires such third parties to maintain the confidentiality of such information and use such information only as necessary to provide Hemps Pharma with designated services.

Hemps Pharma reserves the right to pass your PII on to third parties so that they may send you commercial communications, including by electronic means, concerning news, products, and services. These third parties may be located in any country in the world with the international transfer of data to which that gives rise. You may opt-out of Hemps Pharma sharing your PII with third parties for marketing purposes at any time by sending an opt-out request to Hemps Pharma at: [email protected].
