The Cannaisseur, Inc. ("The Cannaisseur," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when you visit cannaisseurdispensary.com and any other website or online service that links to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Site").
By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site.
This Privacy Policy applies only to services that link to it. Third-party websites, applications, online ordering platforms, payment services, and social-media platforms may have separate privacy policies governing their practices.
If you are a medical cannabis patient, the collection, use, and disclosure of your protected health information is governed by our separate Notice of Privacy Practices, which is available at our dispensary location and upon request. To the extent of any conflict, the Notice of Privacy Practices controls with respect to protected health information.
The Site and our cannabis-related products and services are intended only for adults who are at least 21 years old.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. We also do not intentionally market cannabis products or services to anyone under 21. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Parents or legal guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information through the Site may contact us using the information provided below.

These technologies may be used to:
You can control cookies through your browser settings and, when available, through the Site’s cookie-preference tools. Blocking certain cookies may cause parts of the Site to function incorrectly.

We may use information that has been aggregated or deidentified for any lawful purpose. We will not attempt to reidentify deidentified information except as permitted by law.

We may disclose information to another party when you direct us to do so or provide your consent.
We may disclose information that has been aggregated or deidentified so that it cannot reasonably be associated with a particular individual.
Cannabis purchase and transaction records are treated as confidential in accordance with the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act and applicable regulations. We do not disclose customer names, personal information, or purchase history except as required by law, regulation, or lawful government request, or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
We do not sell personal information for money. Certain analytics or advertising activities may nevertheless be treated as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some state privacy laws. Where applicable, eligible residents may request to opt out of those activities by contacting us using the information in the "Contact Us" section below or, when available, by using an opt-out link on the Site.
The Site may contain links to or integrations with third-party services, including online ordering platforms, payment providers, mapping services, and social-media platforms.
We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their privacy, security, or information-handling practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you use.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, maintain business and transaction records, comply with cannabis-industry regulations and other legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of our relationship with you, and applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Certain cannabis-industry regulations require us to retain business and transaction records for a minimum of three to five years. When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for protecting your account credentials and should notify us promptly if you believe your account or personal information has been compromised.
In the event of a security breach involving personal information, we will notify affected individuals and applicable regulatory authorities as required by the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act and any other applicable law.
