At PlantBasedBluandB.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our users (“you” or “your”). This Privacy Policy explains the ways in which we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website, mobile application, or any related platforms (collectively, the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please refrain from using the Site.
Collection of Your Information
We collect personal information in several ways, including when you voluntarily provide it to us, such as your name, email, shipping address, and demographic details like age and interests. This can occur when you register on the Site or participate in various activities, like online chats or message boards. We may also collect derivative data such as IP addresses, browser types, and the pages you visit before and after accessing the Site. This could include device name, type, and additional interactions within the app for mobile users.
We gather financial data related to your payment methods when you make purchases or transactions on the Site. Information from social networks (like Facebook) may also be collected if you connect your account, including profile data, location, and public data for contacts. We may access additional data from third parties or as part of contests, giveaways, and surveys you enter.
We may collect geolocation data for users accessing the Site via mobile and request access to certain device features like the camera, contacts, or Bluetooth. We may also send push notifications regarding your account, which can be managed in your device settings.
Data From Social Networks
The Site may access your basic Facebook account information, such as name, email, gender, birthday, and profile picture. You may also be asked for additional permissions, like access to friends, check-ins, and likes, which you can choose to grant or deny individually. We may gather user information from various social networks, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and others, if you connect your account. This may include your name, username, location, and contact data if you invite others to join our website.
Use of Your Information
Accurate information helps us provide a smooth, personalized experience. We use the data we collect to manage your account, fulfill orders, and process payments. It also allows us to deliver targeted advertisements, offer promotions, and send newsletters. Additionally, your information helps us track usage trends, improve site efficiency, and offer new products or services tailored to your interests.
We may also use your information for administrative purposes, such as responding to law enforcement requests, preventing fraud, and ensuring compliance with legal obligations. For users who interact through user-to-user communication features, we may facilitate this by enabling message exchanges or discussions.
Disclosure of Information
We do not share your personal information with third parties except where necessary to maintain the functionality of the Site, comply with legal obligations, or as required by law. Any third-party service providers involved in operating the Site are required to adhere to strict confidentiality agreements.
Security of Your Information
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no data transmission over the internet is entirely secure, so we cannot guarantee complete security.
Updates to the Policy
We reserve the right to modify or update this Privacy Policy at any time, for any reason. Should we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. Changes take effect immediately upon posting, and by continuing to use the Site after any updates, you are deemed to accept the revised terms.
Your Responsibility
We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about updates. If you continue using the Site after changes are posted, you acknowledge and accept the modified Privacy Policy.
RACKING TECHNOLOGIES
Cookies and Web Beacons
We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other technologies to personalize and improve your experience on the Site and our mobile application. These tools do not collect your personal information. Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can remove or reject them, which may affect the Site’s functionality. Web beacons cannot be declined, but you can render them ineffective by rejecting cookies or adjusting browser settings to manage cookies on an individual basis.
Internet-Based Advertising
We may also utilize third-party software to display ads on the Site, run email marketing campaigns, and manage other interactive marketing efforts. This software may use cookies or similar tracking tools to enhance and optimize your online experience with us. To opt-out of interest-based ads, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Tool or the Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Tool for more information.
Website Analytics
We may collaborate with select third-party vendors, such as [Google Analytics,] and others, to implement tracking technologies and remarketing services on the Site. These technologies use cookies to analyze user activity, assess the popularity of content, and gain insights into online behavior. By using the Site, you consent to the collection and use of your information by these vendors. You can opt out through the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Tool or Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Tool.
If you would like to opt-out of providing information to Google Analytics, please use the Google Analytics Opt-Out Tool. Please note that clearing cookies may reset opt-out preferences.
THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES
The Site may include links to third-party websites, applications, or services, such as advertisements that are not affiliated with us. Once you leave the Site by following these links, any information you share with those third parties is not protected by this Privacy Policy. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services before providing them with your personal information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of any external websites, services, or applications linked to or from our Site.
SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION
We implement administrative, technical, and physical security measures to safeguard your personal information. However, no security system is entirely foolproof, and no method of transmitting data over the internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. While we take reasonable precautions to protect the information you provide, we cannot ensure absolute protection against interception or misuse by unauthorized parties. Therefore, when sharing personal information online, please be aware of the inherent risks and limitations of data security.
POLICY FOR CHILDREN
We do not knowingly collect or market information to children under the age of 13. If you become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 13, please reach out to us using the contact information provided, and we will take steps to delete that information.
CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems (and our mobile applications) offer a Do-Not-Track (DNT) setting that lets you signal your preference to prevent the tracking of your online activities. However, there is no standardized method for recognizing and implementing these DNT signals. Currently, we do not respond to DNT settings or similar tracking mechanisms. If a standard for online tracking is adopted in the future that requires us to comply, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly and notify users.

If you no longer wish to receive correspondence, emails, or other communications from us, you may opt-out by:
- Noting your preferences at the time you register your account with the Site
