How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
When you access our website or use AgServe Services, we (including companies we work with) may place small data files on your computer or other device. These data files may be cookies, pixel tags, e-tags, "Flash cookies," or other local storage provided by your browser or associated applications (collectively "Cookies"). We may use these technologies to recognize you as a customer; customize AgServe Services, content, and advertising; measure promotional effectiveness; help ensure that your account security is not compromised; mitigate risk and prevent fraud; and to promote trust and safety across our sites and AgServe Services.
You are free to decline our Cookies if your browser or browser add-on permits, unless our Cookies are required to prevent fraud or ensure the security of websites we control. However, declining our Cookies may interfere with your use of our website and AgServe Services.
How We Protect and Store Personal Information
Throughout this Privacy Policy, we use the term "personal information" to describe information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person. We do not consider personal information to include information that has been made anonymous so that it does not identify a specific user.
We store and process your personal information on our computers in North America. We protect your information using physical, technical, and administrative security measures to reduce the risks of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure and alteration. Technical (e.g., commercial website and computer server providers) and other service providers may have stored information provided through the internet and through direct provision of services to you or AgServe; we cannot be responsible for their operations. Services such as PayPal where we process online purchases and payments by and for you have their own terms, conditions, and policies. We encourage you to inform yourselves of those external providers terms, conditions, and policies. If you are referred to those sites from AgServe’s website or through any links or other references, you need to make yourself aware of their terms, conditions, and policies.
How We Share Personal Information with Other Third Parties
We may share your personal information we collect from you, including your name, contact details, and transactions and activities, with:
• Members of the AgServe company family to provide joint content, products, and services (such as registration, transactions and customer support), to help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts and violations of our policies, and to guide decisions about their products, services, and communications. Members of our company family will use this information to send you marketing communications only if you have requested their services.
• Financial institutions that we utilize to provide you payment options (such as PayPal). These financial institutions may only use this information to process financial transactions related to AgServe products, unless you have given consent for other uses.
• Credit bureaus and collection agencies to report account information, as permitted by law.
• Companies that we plan to merge with or are acquired by. (Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity follow this Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information. If your personal information could be used contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice.)
• Law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process or requirement applicable to AgServe or one of its affiliates; when we need to do so to comply with law or credit rules; or when we believe, in our sole discretion, that the disclosure of personal information is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity or to investigate violations of our User Agreement that is in effect at that time.
• Other unaffiliated third parties, for the following purposes:
• Fraud Prevention and Risk Management: to help prevent fraud or assess and manage risk. For example, we may share account information in order to help protect your accounts from fraudulent activity, alert you if we detect such fraudulent activity on your accounts.
• Customer Service: for customer service purposes, including to help service your accounts or resolve disputes (e.g., billing or transactional).
• Shipping: in connection with shipping and related services for purchases made using AgServe.
• Legal Compliance: to help them comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing verification requirements.
• Service Providers: to enable service providers under contract with us to support our business operations, such as fraud prevention, bill collection, marketing, customer service and technology services. Our contracts dictate that these service providers only use your information in connection with the services they perform for us and not for their own benefit.
