Information Collection Practices
When you visit our Services, we may collect information from or about you.
What Basic Information Does Green Scorpion Collect?
We may ask you for certain personal information to provide access to the Services or as part of your use of the Services. Such personal information may include, but is not limited to, your name, address, date of birth, age, gender, state of residence, email address, telephone number, financial data (which may include your credit card or debit card number), and other information that identifies you. If you visit one of our retail locations or request product delivery, we may also collect personal information from your government identification card when you provide it to us, including your name, address, picture, driver’s license or other government identification card number, and any other information on your government identification card, as well as video and images captured from our security cameras inside and around our retail locations. If you choose to register on our website or via a mobile application, or otherwise create a Member account, you may be required to provide certain personal information. If you do not provide the requested personal information, you may not be able to access or use the features of the Services where such personal information is requested.
Website Cookies
From time to time, we may use the standard “cookies” feature of Internet browser applications, which allows us to store a small piece of data on your computer about your visit to our website. We do not set any personally identifiable information in cookies. Cookies help us learn which areas of our website are useful and which areas need improvement. Cookies are small text files stored on users’ hard drives, which often include an anonymous unique identifier. Our website uses both “session ID cookies” and “persistent cookies.” Session ID cookies are used to store information while a user is logged into the site and expire when the user closes their browser. Persistent cookies are used to make tasks like logging into the site easier for returning users by remembering a user’s login information, and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to our website. Persistent cookies stay on a user’s hard drive from one session to the next. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions for deleting cookies. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. When you visit our website, our computer may ask your computer for permission to employ the use of a session or persistent cookie. Our website will then send a cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings on your browser. However, if you choose to disable this function, your experience at our website may be diminished, and some features may not work as intended.
IP Address and Telemetry Data
When you visit us, our Internet servers automatically collect data about your Internet Protocol address (“IP Address”), which is the network address of your computer, phone, or other computing device. When you visit our website, we may also collect “click stream” or “telemetry” data, which is data about your web browser, the web server, and content you are trying to access. For example, our website may record the referring page that linked you to us (e.g., another website or a search engine), the pages you visit on this website, the website you visit after leaving our website, other information about the type of web browser, computer, platform, related software, and settings you are using, any search terms you have entered on this website or a referral website, and other web usage activity and data logged by our web servers. This information can be combined with information you have provided to us by registering as a Member, enabling us to analyze and better customize your visits. We may use telemetry data for internal system administration, to help diagnose problems with our servers, for traffic analysis or e-commerce analysis of our website, to help secure our systems, to customize our Services for you, or to determine which features of our site are most or least effective or useful to you. Such information may also be used to gather demographic information, such as country of origin and Internet Service Provider. We may also aggregate user information in a non-personally identifiable manner to share with advertisers, to enhance the Services, or for general business purposes.
Clear GIFs/Beacons/Pixels
When visiting our website, we may also use “Clear GIFs” (aka “web beacons” or “pixel tags”) or similar technologies in our website and/or in our communications with you. A Clear GIF is typically a one-pixel, transparent image located on a web page or in an email or other type of message, which helps us verify an individual’s viewing or receipt of a web page or message. Clear GIFs allow us to know whether you have viewed a web page prior to visiting our website and may enable us to relate such information to other information, including your Personal Information. We use information provided from Clear GIFs and similar technologies to enable more accurate reporting, improve the effectiveness of our marketing, and make our Services better for our users.
Personal Information
We may use your personal information for a variety of purposes, including to identify you; verify your age; process payments for you; identify your location; facilitate transactions and/or communications, including marketing communications and Services-related communications with you; register you for High Caliber Directs’ services, such as a website, mobile application, delivery, or rewards account; maintain current information about your Services usage and accounts; track your accumulation of redeemable rewards based on your product purchase history and Services usage; protect our users, ourselves, our Services, and our affiliates from fraud, theft, hacking, phishing, and other unlawful activities; analyze website traffic; diagnose technical problems in our Services; comply with laws and High Caliber Directs’ policies; conduct website and activity tracking, including Services optimization and personalization; and generate and study analytics related to your usage of our Services.
Verifying Your Identity
Many jurisdictions require careful verification of identity before allowing you to purchase cannabis products. When you use our Services at a physical location, your government-issued identification card will be physically examined and electronically scanned in order to verify your age and your identification’s validity. Your scanned identification data may be collected, transmitted to, stored at, and analyzed by a third party outside of High Caliber Directs’ control, and you agree that we cannot be held liable for the third party’s use or disclosure of your data.
Once your data has been scanned, your name, address, identification number, photo, and other data may be retained by High Caliber Direct for the purpose of analyzing your use of High Caliber Directs’ services and for creating an electronic profile about you in order to make future verifications of your identity easier and to help us customize Services and experiences for you.
Your Image
Photographic and video recordings of you inside and outside of High Caliber Direct retail stores and delivery vehicles will be used for the purpose of maintaining physical security, identifying you, and complying with laws that require video surveillance.
Video footage captured in stores and any photo of yourself that you supply may also be used to help identify you and customize your experience as you use our Services.
You acknowledge that video and photographic recordings of you may be stored by High Caliber Direct and accessed by and supplied to High Caliber Direct employees, government agencies, and others at High Caliber Directs’ sole discretion at any time, for any purpose, with or without a legal order or subpoena, and without notice or financial compensation to you.

Payment Services
You permit High Caliber Organics to collect and use your debit, credit card, or other financial data you provide (“Payment Data”) in order to facilitate payments for High Caliber Organics’ Services and products at your request.

While High Caliber Organics strives to only hire reliable third parties, you agree that High Caliber Organics cannot be held liable for how your Payment Data is used or retained or protected while it is in transit to, stored at, or used by third parties that process payments for you.
If you ask us to delete your data, note that High Caliber Organics cannot delete data stored at third-party payment processors that must retain Payment Data in order to meet their own compliance requirements.
