De Buena Planta collects Personal Information about you when you visit the Site and sign up to receive news from us and/or purchase products online.  “Personal Information” is information that may be used to directly or indirectly identify you, including your name, e-mail address, physical address, phone number or other information about you.  The majority of such Personal Information is collected when you purchase Products, subscribe to updates or otherwise provide us with your contact information.  Some of this Personal Information will be required if you wish to partake in the Services that we provide, including making purchases of Products through the Site.  

In general, the type of Personal Information we collect includes, but is not limited to:

  • Personal Information necessary to use the Services that you have requested, including purchasing Products;

  • Un-identifiable and aggregated Personal Information pertaining to your Site visits that help us maintain the appropriate features, functionality and user experience.

Web surfing data and similar information may be aggregated for administrative purposes.  De Buena Planta may, for example, use this aggregated information in the administration of the Site to improve its usability and to evaluate the success of particular marketing and advertising campaigns, search engine optimization strategies, and other marketing activities.  We also use it to help optimize the Site based on the needs of our users.

How and When Your Information Is Shared With Other Parties

De Buena Planta does not sell, trade or license Personal Information about its users for marketing purposes.  We do, however, work with a number of trusted partners who perform vital functions as part of our operations, including processing payments for orders and fulfilling orders.  We do not share your Personal Information unless it is necessary to fulfill our responsibilities, including providing information or services to you.  You will always have the option to unsubscribe from electronic marketing communications from us at any time by selecting the “unsubscribe” link included in such communications.

Additional Sharing of Information

We may engage third parties to help us carry out certain other internal functions such as account processing, client services, or other data collection relevant to our business.  Personal Information is shared with these third parties only to the extent necessary for us to process the transactions you initiate or perform other specific services.  Our partners are legally required to keep your Personal Information private and secure.

We may share your Personal Information with law enforcement or other government agencies as required by law or for the purposes of limiting fraud.

Your California Privacy Rights

The following section pertains to the rights of individuals or households in California (“California consumers”).  

  • Civil Code Section 1798.83

Under certain circumstances, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 states that, upon receipt of a request by a California consumer, a business may be required to provide detailed information regarding how that business has shared that customer’s Personal Information with third parties for direct marketing purposes. However, the foregoing does not apply to businesses like ours that do not disclose Personal Information to third parties for direct marketing purposes without prior approval or give customers a free mechanism to opt out of having their Personal Information disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

  • Rights under the CCPA

The CCPA (California Civil Code Section 1798.100 et seq.) provides California consumers with additional rights regarding Personal Information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly with a particular consumer or household. The categories of Personal Information we collect are generally described above but differ for individual consumers depending on the Services used by such consumers.

Under the CCPA, qualifying California consumers may have the following rights:

Right to Know and Right to Delete.

A California consumer has the right to request that we disclose what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose and sell. A California consumer also has the right to submit requests to delete Personal Information.

When we receive a request to know or delete from a California consumer, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 business days and provide information about how we will process the request, including our verification process. We will respond to such requests within 45 days.

Right for Disclosure of Personal Information.

A California consumer may also submit requests that we disclose specific types or categories of Personal Information that we collect.  

Under certain circumstances, we will not provide such information, including where the disclosure creates a substantial, articulable and unreasonable risk to the security of that Personal Information, customers’ accounts with us, or the security of our systems or networks. We also will not disclose California consumers’ social security numbers, driver’s license numbers or other government-issued identification numbers, financial account numbers, any health insurance or medical identification numbers, or account passwords and security questions and answers.

Submitting Requests

If you are a California consumer and would like to make any requests under the CCPA, please direct them as follows:

De Buena Planta
2815 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026
hola@debuenaplanta.us

Verifying Requests

If we receive any request we will use a two-step process for online requests where the California consumer must first, clearly submit the request and then second, separately confirm the request. 

In submitting a request, a California consumer must provide sufficient information to identify the consumer, such as name, email address, home or work address, or other such information that is on record with us so that we can match such information to the Personal Information that we maintain.  Do not provide social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, account numbers, credit or debit card numbers, medical information or health information with requests. If requests are unclear or submitted through means other than as outlined above, we will provide the California consumer with specific directions on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies. If we cannot verify the identity of the requestor, we may deny the request.

  • California Do Not Track Disclosures

Although some browsers currently offer a “do not track (‘DNT’) option,” no common industry standard for DNT exists. We therefore do not currently commit to responding to browsers’ DNT signals.

Your Rights and Obligations

We ask that you keep the Personal Information that you directly provide to us current and that you correct any information you have provided to us by contacting us at hola@debuenaplanta.us. You represent and warrant that all Personal Information you provide to us is true and correct and relates to you and not to any other person.
