(“AgVend” “we,” “us”) may collect, store, process, use and disclose when you access AgVend’s website located at www.agvend.com (the “Website”), AgVend’s downloadable applications (the “Apps”) or any associated services (the “AgVend Services,” and together with the Website and Apps, the “Platform”). Information collected may include your “Personal Information,” which means information that identifies you as an individual, such as your name, address, telephone number, email address or other contact or identification information. YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND YOUR CONSENT TO OUR COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE AND STORAGE OF YOUR INFORMATION, INCLUDING PERSONAL INFORMATION, AS STATED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM.

Information you provide. In order for you to access certain portions of the Website or Apps, including to sell or purchase products or services from other users, you may be required to register on the Website or App and create an account. When you register, you will be required to provide certain Personal Information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and other contact information. You may also provide us with information, including Personal Information, when you contact us via the Platform or by email, including in connection with customer support requests.

If you as a “Buyer” are buying products or services from users selling products or services via the Platform (“Partner Retailers”), you will be required to provide payment, billing and shipping information as well as information and documentation on any required licenses or certifications needed to complete an order in accordance with applicable law.

Information collected via the Platform. In addition to the information you provide, we collect certain information when you access and use the Platform. This information includes:

• Information on the browsers and devices from which you access the Website or an App, including IP addresses, browser types and versions, operating system and platform information, device type and device identifiers;
• Platform or device usage data, such as when and for how long you accessed our Website or App, pages you viewed, and products and services you searched for combined with location information from the search;
• Transaction information, including to whom you have sold products, from whom you have purchased products, frequency of transactions completed by you, and any issues you have experienced with your transactions;
• geographic location; and
• Aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information.

Cookies. A cookie is a small data file that may be used, for example, to collect information about Website and App browsing activity. The Website and Apps use cookies to track overall site use and may be used to provide you with additional information about our products, respond to your inquiries, or (if applicable) to authenticate registration. AgVend uses cookies to identify users, such as yourself, and to link users to their searches, Transaction history, and other Platform services and offerings. In addition, certain of our third party service providers also use cookies to track and collect data from users of our Platform, including our customer relationship management service provider, who uses cookies to provide customer support services via our Platform. You can use your browser settings to manage your preferences for allowing use of cookies and to delete existing cookies. However, if you disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain parts of the Website or Apps or use certain features or functionality of the Platform.

Other tracking technologies. The Platform also uses technologies called “tracer tags.” These may also be referred to as “Pixels,” “Clear GIFs” or “Web Beacons.” These technologies allow us to understand which pages you visit on our Website and App, the products and services you sell or the orders you place via the Platform, and other ways you interact with our Platform, and allows us to track your location for the purpose of listing Partner Retailers and available inventory in your vicinity and to otherwise provide the Platform to you. We may link the information we record using tracking technologies to Personal Information we collect.

Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics as a third party tracking service to collect information about how our website performs and how our users, in general, navigate through and use the Platform. This helps us evaluate how our users use the Platform; compile statistical reports on activity; and improve our content and website performance. This service does not collect Personal Information. Google Analytics gathers certain simple, non-personally identifying information over time, such as your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, time stamp, and similar data about your use of the Platform. We do not link this information to any of your Personal Information. Google provides further information about its own privacy practices at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, or other URL that Google may provide from time to time, and offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics tracking.

Other analytics providers. We may also utilize other third-party service providers to provide Platform analytics on an aggregated and anonymous basis. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information, which may include your IP address, content viewed and/or links accessed in order to provide such analytics.

Do Not Track. California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Because there currently isn’t an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we don't respond to them at this time.

We may store, process and use Personal Information we collect through the Platform in order to:

• Provide services, including third party services, to you through the Platform, such as payment processing and customer support and to allow you to place orders for products and services (“Transactions”) and interact with other users of the Platform;
