It also explains your rights in relation to your personal information and how to contact us or supervisory authorities in the event you have a complaint.


We collect, use and are responsible for certain personal information about you. When we do so we are subject to various laws in the United States and the General Data Protection Regulation which applies across the European Union (including in the United Kingdom), and we are responsible as a “data processor” of that personal information for the purposes of those laws, unless you are a GrowSurf User, in which case you are our direct customer, and we have responsibility as a "Controller" of your data.


Our users are "controllers" for the purposes of those laws if you are a GrowSurf participant, referred to our site and/or applications by them, and may have separate legal responsibilities to you with respect to your data. Our subprocessors are "data processors" for the purpose of use of your data, and GrowSurf is the "controller" of such data, except to the extent that GrowSurf users otherwise specify data use and retention.


WHAT IS OUR STANCE ON THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES?


In Short: We are not responsible for the safety of any information that you share with third-party providers who advertise, but are not affiliated with, our websites.


The Sites may contain advertisements from third parties that are not affiliated with us and which may link to other websites, online services or mobile applications. We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of data you provide to any third parties. Any data collected by third parties is not covered by this privacy policy. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other websites, services or applications that may be linked to or from the Sites.

WE DO NOT COLLECT BIOMETRIC INFORMATION


The laws of the state of Illinois provide for protection of biometric information. The Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) was passed by the Illinois General Assembly on October 3, 2008. Codified as 740 ILCS 14/1 ff. and Public Act 095-99. The BIPA guards against the unlawful collection and storing of biometric information. When Illinois passed the law in 2008, it became the first state to regulate the collection of biometric information. Washington and Texas have since passed similar laws. The Illinois law regulates collection, retention, and use of the following types of information: "Biometric identifier" means a retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, or scan of hand or face geometry. GrowSurf does not collect or process or store any of these types of information, and does not provide data processing services for those types of information if collected by their users.


HOW YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS COLLECTED

  • From publicly accessible sources (e.g., property records);
  • Directly from a third party (e.g., sanctions screening providers, credit reporting agencies, or customer due diligence providers);
  • From a third party with your consent (e.g., your bank);
  • From cookies on our website; and
  • Via our IT systems, including:
  • Door entry systems and reception logs at our physical locations, for users and possibly for others, including at times participants and vendors;
