Children’s Privacy

Lush’s Service is not structured to attract or be directed to an individual who is a child or is under the minimum age allowed to use our Service, under laws applicable to that person’s jurisdiction, and we do not intentionally, or knowingly collect personally identifiable information of such users.

If you are a child or under the minimum age allowed to use Lush’s Service under the laws applicable in your jurisdiction, you are not allowed to use Lush’s website, application, or any related service.

If we learn that we have collected personally identifiable information of said individuals, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we have any such information, please don’t hesitate to contact us at: contact@lushplant.com

Data Retention

We retain different types of personally identifiable information for different periods, depending on the purposes for processing the information, our legitimate business purposes as well as pursuant to legal requirements under the applicable law.

For example, we will need to keep the information about the payment transactions that you made for several years due to tax related requirements, for accounts settling, record keeping, archiving and legal issues.

We will maintain your contact details, to help us stay in contact with you. At any time, you can contact our privacy team at: contact@lushplant.com  and request to delete your contact details. Note that we may keep your details without using them unless necessary, and for the necessary period, for legal matters.

We will keep aggregated non-identifiable information without limitation, and to the extent reasonable we will delete or de-identify potentially identifiable information, when we no longer need to process the information.

In any case, as long as you use the Service, we will keep information about you, unless the law requires us to delete it, or if we decide to remove it at our discretion, according to the terms of this policy.

Transfer of Data Outside Your Territory

The Service is a web-based service. We store and process information in the EU. From time to time, we will make operational decisions which will have an impact on the sites in which we maintain personally identifiable information.

We make sure that our data hosting service providers, provide us with adequate confidentiality and security commitments.

If you are a resident in a jurisdiction where transfer of your personally identifiable information to another jurisdiction requires your consent, then you provide us your express and unambiguous consent to such transfer. You can contact our privacy team at: contact@lushplant.com  for further information about data transfer.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We may use tracking technologies, including cookies, local storage, and pixel tags.

Cookies are small files that a web server sends to a user’s device, when the user browses online.

Your device removes session cookies when you close your browser session. Persistent cookies last for longer periods. You can view the expiry date of each cookie, through your browser settings.

We use both types. We use persistent cookies to remember your log-in details and make it easier for you to log-in the next time you access the Service. We use this type of cookies and Session Cookies for additional purposes, to facilitate the use of the Service’s features and tools and to improve the user’s experience with our Service.

Every browser allows you to manage your cookies preferences. You can block or remove certain cookies, or all of them through your browser settings. Blocking or removing cookies will influence your user experience with our Service. For example, disabling or blocking our cookies will require you to re-enter your log-in details, or even prevent you from using features of the Service.

Pixel tags are tiny graphics with a unique identifier (but do not retain any personally identifiable information), which help us count user or visitor visits/clicks to web pages while using the Service. There are many browser add-ons available online, which offer online trackers blocking.

We also use browser local storage to store data on your device. Similar to cookies, browser local storage helps us store and retrieve data from HTML pages. It allows us, for example, to save the state of the Website pages that you have visited. When you come back and visit the Website, or refresh the browser, the page will remain the same.

Unlike cookies, local storage objects (LSOs) are kept on your browser only and are not automatically transmitted to remote servers. You can disable storing LSOs through your browser’s settings. For example, if you use Chrome, go to Settings->Privacy->Content Settings and check the box next to: “Block sites from setting any data.” Please note that disabling LSOs may affect your user Website experience.

You can find more information about cookies and other online tracking technologies through the US Federal Trade Commission and the EU Commission websites at:https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0042-online-tracking, or http://ec.europa.eu/ipg/basics/legal/cookies/index_en.htm

if you wish to learn more about the types of cookies that we and our service providers use, and the ways these cookies are used, please contact us at: contact@lushplant.com

Information Security

We and our hosting services implement systems, applications and procedures to secure your personally identifiable information, to minimize the risks of theft, damage, loss of information, or unauthorized access or use of information.

These measures provide sound industry standard security. However, although we make efforts to protect your privacy, we cannot guarantee that the Service will be immune from any wrongdoings, malfunctions, unlawful interceptions or access, or other kinds of abuse and misuse.

Dispute Resolution

We do periodical assessments of our data processing and privacy practices, to make sure that we comply with this policy, to update the policy when we believe that we need to, and to verify that we display the policy properly and in an accessible manner.

If you have any concerns about the way we process your personally identifiable information, you are welcome to contact our privacy team at: contact@lushplant.com or write to us at: LushPlant – 10-8707 Dufferin St. Suite 411, Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, L4J0A6

We will look into your query and make good-faith efforts to resolve any existing or potential dispute with you.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the rights to from time to time update this policy and/or any part here-in both with or without notice and as need determines.  A copy of the most up to date Privacy Policy can  be found on our website www.lushplant.com for your review.

Until the new policy takes effect, if it materially reduces the protection of your privacy right under the then-existing policy you can choose not to accept it and terminate your use of the Service.
