Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 1st, 2024  

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information in connection with our services. This Privacy Policy is not, however, a contract and does not create any legal rights or obligations.  

Who We Are: Viridis Technologies is a web development company incorporated in Wyoming. When we use the terms “Viridis Technologies”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to Viridis Technologies Corp and any other of our affiliates. 

Our Services: When we use the term “services”, we are referring to all the services that we offer on our own behalf, including without limitation, our product and service offerings and the websites and services that post or link to this Privacy Policy now or in the future. 

This Privacy Policy does not cover or address, for example: 

• Job Applicants and Viridis Technologies Personnel – Personal information and privacy practices relating to job applicants, employees and other personnel; 
• Third Party Viridis Technologies Product Sellers – Privacy practices of independent third-party retailers that sell our products and that are not Viridis Technologies-branded franchise stores. 

By accessing or using the services, you signify that you have read, understood and agree to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. 

Region-Specific Disclosures 

We may choose or be required by law to provide different or additional disclosures relating to the processing of personal information about residents of certain countries, regions or states. Please refer below for disclosures that may be applicable to you:      

• If you are a resident of the State of Nevada in the United States, please see below for Nevada-specific privacy disclosures.

We do not sell your covered information, as defined by Chapter 603A of the Nevada Revised Statutes. If you reside in Nevada, you have the right to submit a request to support@viridistech.us to opt out of the sale of covered information. Please include “Nevada Rights Request” in the subject line. 

  What is Personal Information?     

When we use the term “personal information” in this Privacy Policy, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you. It does not include aggregated or deidentified information that is maintained in a form that is not reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to you. 

  Our Collection of Personal Information   

From the first moment you interact with us, we are collecting personal information about you. Sometimes we collect personal information automatically when you interact with our services and, sometimes, we collect the personal information directly from you. At times, we may collect personal information about you from other sources and third parties, even before our first direct interaction. We may link or combine your activities and information collected from you on our websites with information we have collected from you offline (e.g., in-store), information we receive from third parties, as well as information we collect automatically through tracking technologies (defined below). This allows us to provide you with a personalized experience regardless of how you interact with us.  

Personal Information You Provide 

We collect the following personal information you provide in connection with our services: 

• Contact and Profile Information.   We collect personal information, such as your name, email address, password, telephone number, gender, zip code, and address when you create an account, sign up for a newsletter, request a transaction or make a purchase online or in-store, consent to receive text message, redeem or participate in a promotion, purchase or redeem a gift card or otherwise communicate with us. We collect any communications between you and us and any other information you provide to us. We also collect information about your use of our services, such as your orders, and similar activity.    
• Payment and Transaction Information.  We may collect information such as items purchased, date and time of your transaction, amount purchased, order details, whether you used a particular coupon or deal, and payment information, such as your credit/debit card or gift card details, when you make an in-store or online purchase. 
• Shopping History. For example, we may collect personal information about the items you viewed on our website, added to your cart, purchased or returned.  

We use this information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the services, as well as to communicate directly with you, such as to send you email messages.  We may also send you service-related emails or messages (e.g., user account verification, change or updates to features of the services, technical and security notices) and communications from or about Viridis Technologies.

Like most digital platforms, we collect certain personal information automatically when you visit our online services, including:

This may include your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, device type/model/manufacturer, operating system, date and time stamp, and a unique ID that allows us to identify your browser or your account (including, for example, a persistent device identifier or an Ad ID), and other similar information. We may also work with third-party partners to employ technologies, including the application of statistical modeling tools, that permit us to recognize and contact you across multiple devices.   
• Information You May Post or Submit to Our Website.  We may collect information about how you use and interact with our websites and services, including any content you post to the services.

• Analytics Data. This may include the electronic path you take to our services, through our services and when exiting our services, as well as your usage and activity on our services, such as the links and objects you view, click or otherwise interact with (also known as “Clickstream Data”). We may collect analytics data or use third-party analytics tools such as Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the services and to understand more about the demographics of our users.

Personal Information Collected In-Store 

• Payment and Transaction Information. We may collect information about your in-store transaction such as items purchased, items of interest, date and time of your transaction, amount purchased, and payment information, such as your credit/debit card or gift card details, when you make an in-store purchase. 

For information about our and our third-party partners’ use of cookies and related technologies to collect information automatically, and any choices you may have in relation to its collection, please visit our Cookie Policy.  

Personal Information from Other Sources and Third Parties 

We also obtain personal information from other sources, which we often combine with personal information we collect either automatically or directly from you.  

We receive the same categories of personal information as described above from the following sources and third parties: 

• Information We Receive from Third-Party Sites You Connect to Our Services.  Some parts of our services may allow you to login through a third party social network or authentication service such as Facebook. These services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with us, which could include your name, email address, address book and contacts, or other information. The data we receive is dependent on that third party’s policies and your privacy settings on that third-party site.  
• Social Networks Through Your Interactions.  When you interact with our services through various social media networks, such as when you “Like” us on Facebook or when you follow us or share our content on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Instagram or other social networks, we may receive some information about you that you permit the social network to share with third parties. The data we receive is dependent upon your privacy settings with the social network. You should always review and, if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third party websites and social media networks and services before linking or connecting them to our services.  
• Information Provided by Others.  From time to time, we may receive information about you from third parties and other users. For example, we may obtain information from our marketing partners or from third parties to enhance or supplement our existing user information. We may also collect information about you that is publicly available. We may combine this information with the information we collect from you directly. 
• Information Provided by Viridis Technologies Entities. We may receive information about you from other Viridis Technologies companies and affiliates, so that information you provide may be used by Viridis Technologies to provide you services, communicate with you or provide you advertisements or other personalized content.  
• Information Provided by Franchisees.  We may receive information about you from franchisees that operate Viridis Technologies-branded stores. 

  Our Use of Personal Information         

We and the third parties we work with may use personal information:

• To respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations and enforce our corporate reporting obligations and our Terms of Use, or to comply with applicable laws. 
• For purposes disclosed at the time you provide your personal information or as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy. 

We may also use aggregate personal information in a manner such that the end-product does not uniquely identify you or any other user of the services.  

If you choose to contact us, we may need additional information to fulfill your request or respond to your inquiry. We may provide additional privacy disclosures where the scope of the inquiry/request and/or personal information we require fall outside the scope of this Privacy Policy.

Please contact us at: support@viridistech.us to inform us if you, or your minor child, are under the age of 16.
