Effective Date: March 13, 2017

Decisive Farming Corp.’s products and services are offered by Decisive Farming through web pages at www.decisivefarming.com and are made available subject to applicable terms and conditions between us and our customers.   This Privacy Statement (“Statement“) discloses  the  policies and practices  of  Decisive  Farming with respect to privacy and personal information. Personal information means information about an identified or identifiable individual.

By using the Products and Services, or voluntarily providing us with your personal information, you confirm that you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as set out in this Statement.   This Statement applies to all personal information that Decisive Farming collects, uses or discloses.

OUR PLEDGE TO YOU

At Decisive Farming we understand the importance of privacy. We treat our customers as part of our team and carefully protect personal information entrusted to us. We do not disclose any personal information to any third party except as disclosed in this Statement or after obtaining your informed consent.  With the growth of electronic  media  we  recognize  that  it is necessary  to take  further  steps  to protect  the privacy  of  the  individual.  We maintain reasonable administrative, physical and technological measures to protect the confidentiality and security of personal information you submit on or through this Site. Unfortunately, no website, server or database is completely secure or “hacker proof.” We therefore cannot guarantee that your personal information will not be disclosed, misused or lost by accident or by the unauthorized acts of others.

Decisive Farming may amend this Statement from time to time, for example, to ensure it remains accurate and to comply with changes in the law, so reference should be made to the effective date above to ensure that reference is being made to the most recent version.

While Decisive Farming may choose, in any particular case, to go further than the law requires, Decisive Farming does reserve all its rights to rely on any available statutory exemptions or exceptions and nothing in this Statement should be taken to waive Decisive Farming’s rights.

PRIVACY AND OUR WEBSITE

You may browse our website without submitting personal information such as your name or contact information.  However, you should be aware that we may collect some information from your browser or device, such as the browser and version you are using, your operating system, and your “IP” or internet address. The information we receive from your browser or device is not, in and of itself, personally identifiable. However, we may combine it with other information in an attempt to identify you or we may combine it with information that does identify you.

Your browser may deliver a “Do-Not-Track (‘DNT’) signal” to this Site. Because of the changing state of technology and indecision within the technology and marketing industries regarding the meaning of DNT signals, we currently do not make any guarantee that we will honor DNT signals.

We also use “cookies” on our site. Cookies are small pieces of information that our server places on a visitor’s computer hard drive to enable that person to use our site more easily. For example, we place a cookie on your computer when you visit our site. The next time someone visits our site using the same computer our server will recognize the cookie and the computer. Many web browsers are automatically set to accept cookies. You may change your browser settings to reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is about to be placed on your computer. Please note, however, that if you reject cookies, certain parts of our website may not operate as efficiently as they would if cookies were enabled.  We also use cookies to monitor trends in how our web site is used in order to strive to continuously improve it. As with browser and device information, the information we collect using cookies and similar technologies is not, in and of itself, personally identifiable, but we may link it to personal information that you provide.

In addition to the cookies we deliver to your computer or device through our site, certain third parties may deliver cookies to you for a variety of reasons. For example, we may use Google Analytics, a web analytics tool that helps us understand how visitors engage with our site. To learn more about Google Analytics, click here. Other third parties may deliver cookies to your computer or device for the purpose of tracking your online behaviors over time and across nonaffiliated websites and/or delivering targeted advertisements either on this Site or on other websites.

You have choices about the collection of information by third parties on our site. For example, if you don’t want information about your visit to this Site sent to Google Analytics, you may download an Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. Please note that the Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to Decisive Farming.

In addition, if you would like to opt out of having participating entities collect your online behavior for advertising purposes when you are browsing our websites, click here for a “Website Opt Out.” You will be directed to an industry-developed website that allows you to choose whether each listed entity may collect and use data for interest-based advertising purposes. It may be that some of the third parties that collect interest-based information on our site do not participate in the Website Opt Out, in which case the best way to avoid third-party tracking of your online behaviors may be through your browser settings and deletion of cookies.

The Website Opt Out described above works only on websites. To opt out of having participating entities track your behaviors for advertising purposes when you are using a mobile app, download and use the Digital Advertising Alliance’s “App Choices” app. As with the Website Opt Out, the “Mobile App Opt Out” prevents tracking only by participating entities.
Please note that the Website Opt Out and Mobile App Opt Out are device specific and the Website Opt Out is browser specific. If you wish to opt-out from having interest-based information collected by participating entities across all devices and browsers, you need take the steps outlined above from each device and browser.

If you voluntarily submit personal information to Decisive Farming by email or other means for purposes of obtaining information, we will consider that you have provided consent for us to process the information consistent with purposes reasonably related to your providing the information.  If reasonable to do so, after our initial response, we may send further information to you with information that may be useful, but we will include instructions on how to terminate receiving such further information.   Please be advised that the Internet and email are inherently insecure media, and we do not take responsibility for the security or privacy of personal information in transit over the Internet.

Please also note that our web site may contain links to other websites which are provided as a convenience for visitors to our website only. Any third party web sites will have their own privacy policies and practices, and Decisive Farming cannot be responsible for such third parties or their websites.

ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS

When we collect, use or disclose personal information, particularly where the information is used by Decisive Farming to make a decision affecting an individual, Decisive Farming will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information is accurate, up to date, and complete.  This may involve requesting further information or updates from you and we ask that you advise us of changes to your personal information so that our records may remain current.

With Other Users of this Site. You may be able to submit User-Generated Content on or through this Site. In this Policy, “User-Generated Content” or “UGC” refers to content that you post using the social networking tools we make available to you and that does not constitute “Feedback” (as that term is defined in our Terms of Use). Any personal information contained in UGC can be read, collected, or used by others. In addition, we may use UGC you submit for advertising campaigns and other promotions. We may or may not use your name in connection with such use, and we may or may not seek your consent before using the content for such purposes. Therefore, you should have no expectation of privacy with respect to UGC you submit on or through this Site.

With Third-Party Social Media Platforms. We may use third-party social media platforms to offer you interest-based ads. To offer such ads, we may convert your email address into a unique value which can be matched by our partner company with a user on their platform. Although we do not provide any personal information to these platform vendors, they may gain insights about individuals who respond to the ads we serve.

In Aggregate or De-Identified Form. We use information collected through this Site to create a compiled, aggregate view of usage patterns. We may share aggregate information with third parties so we and they can better understand our user base. We may also share with third parties information about how particular individuals use this Site, but only on a de-identified basis (“Individualized Data”). Individualized Data is not personally identifiable, but it does reflect the usage patterns of a particular Site user, as opposed to Site users collectively. We may provide basic demographic information (gender and age) in conjunction with providing Individualized Data.

With Other, Carefully Selected Business Partners. From time to time, we may share your information with selected third parties for their own marketing purposes. Before doing so, however, we may offer you the opportunity to “opt out” or “opt in,” as required by applicable law.

As Part of a Business Transfer. Your information may be transferred to successor organization if, for example, we transfer the ownership or operation of this Site to another organization or if we merge with another organization. If such a transfer occurs, the successor organization’s use of your information will still be subject to this Policy and the privacy preferences you have expressed to us.

To Comply with Laws and Protect Our Rights and the Rights of Others. We may disclose your information when we, in good faith, believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law, a court order or a subpoena.
