BIGBOSSFARM

1. Introduction

Big Boss Farms ("we," "our," or "us") operates under the laws of British Columbia and Canada. We are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of the personal information of our website visitors, licensed retail partners, and distributors in compliance with the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

2. Information We Collect

To keep our data footprint minimal, we collect very limited information:

• Age Verification Data: When you enter details in our Age Gate, it is processed entirely inside your local browser. We do not transmit or store your birth date on our servers. A simple status is saved in local storage to prevent repeating the gate.
• Retailer Contact Inquiries: If you fill out our contact form, we collect your name, business email, licensed retailer number, province, and message content.
• Session State Cookies: We use tiny browser cookies to maintain basic layout operations and age verification. We do not use third-party tracking or advertising cookies.

3. Purpose of Information Collection

In accordance with PIPEDA Principle 2, we collect data strictly for:

• Complying with the federal Cannabis Act (Bill C-45), which mandates that we prevent underage individuals from viewing promotional cannabis content.
• Reviewing, validating, and responding to wholesale or distribution requests.

4. Retention & Safeguards

We do not store age-verification details. Any contact submissions are stored securely in encrypted databases. We restrict data access to authorised operations managers only. We do not rent, sell, or trade personal data to third parties.

5. Access & Rectification

Under PIPEDA, you have the right to inspect any files we hold about you or request corrections or deletions. To submit a request, contact our Privacy Officer at bigbossfarmscan@gmail.com.
