Your personal information will only be collected and used by FarmLink and our employees, independent contractors, agents, partners and service providers in a manner consistent with the activities of FarmLink. Access to your personal information by FarmLink employees, independent contractors, agents, partners and service providers is limited only to those authorized, based on their need to deal with the personal information for the reason(s) for which it was obtained, including to enable them to perform a business, professional or technical support function for FarmLink.

4. Disclosure of Personal Information

FarmLink may disclose your personal information to:

  1. its employees, independent contractors, agents, partners, distributors, retailers and service providers as is reasonably necessary to enable these parties to perform a business, professional or technical support function for FarmLink;
  2. a person who, in the reasonable judgment of FarmLink, is seeking the information as your agent; and
  3. a third party or parties, where you consent to such disclosure, or the disclosure is permitted or required by law.

Corporate Reorganization and Business Transfers

FarmLink may also disclose your personal information in connection with a corporate re-organization, a merger or amalgamation with another entity, a sale of all or a substantial portion of our assets or stock, including any due diligence exercise carried out in relation to same, provided that the information disclosed continues to be used for the purposes permitted by this Privacy Policy by the entity acquiring the information.

5. Change of Purpose

FarmLink will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another purpose and that purpose is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and obtain your express consent to do so pursuant to Section 22.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.

6. Children

The Service is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will take appropriate steps to delete that personal information. If you become aware or believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us as provided in Section 18.

7. Safeguarding Your Personal Information

FarmLink is committed to safeguarding your personal information. FarmLink uses appropriate security measures to protect personal information against risks such as loss or theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, misuse, modification or destruction, and any other unlawful form of processing of the personal information in our possession regardless of the format in which it is held. The methods of protection and safeguards used by FarmLink include, but are not limited to:

  • Administrative safeguards such as privacy and security policies and procedures, privacy and data protection training for FarmLink employees, independent contractors, and agents;
  • Technical safeguards such as security testing, vulnerability scans, and technological measures, including the use of passwords, encryption, firewalls, and secure coding frameworks;
  • Physical safeguards such as locked filing cabinets, and need-to-know access for FarmLink employees, independent contractors, agents, partners, and service providers.

In any organization, failure to protect personal information can increase the risk of a privacy breach which can lead to things such as financial loss, reputational harm, fraud, or identity theft. While FarmLink cannot guarantee that a privacy breach will not occur, FarmLink will make every effort to prevent such occurrences by implementing the above security safeguards.

FarmLink also ensures that its employees, independent contractors, agents, partners, and service providers with access to personal information are made aware of the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of the personal information.

When FarmLink engages a third party who will have access to your personal information, we use contractual or other measures to ensure your personal information is afforded a comparable level of protection as required by law.

FarmLink takes care in disposing of or destroying personal information to prevent unauthorized parties from gaining access to the information.

While FarmLink is committed to safeguarding your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any personal information we collect either directly or automatically from you, and you provide your personal information at your own risk.

FarmLink can not guarantee that such personal information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our security safeguards. To the degree that personal information is of a sensitive nature, in the event of a breach, there may be a risk of significant harm to you which includes bodily harm, humiliation, damage to reputation or relationships, loss of employment, business or professional opportunities, financial loss, identity theft, negative effects on the credit record and damage to or loss of property. 

FarmLink also cannot guarantee that information sent or received over the Internet is secure and does not make any representation or warranty concerning the security of personal information communicated to or from FarmLink via the Internet or regarding the interception by third parties. 

In the event of a breach of our security safeguards involving personal information under our control that we reasonably believe creates a real risk of significant harm to you, we will notify you and any other third party as required by applicable laws, including the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or law enforcement.

8. Cross Border Transfer of Personal Information

Subject to any contractual restrictions as between FarmLink and an Organization, your personal information may be stored and processed in any country (e.g. Canada, United States) where we engage third party service providers. While such information is outside of your country of residence, it is subject to the law of the country in which it is held, and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts, law enforcement agencies or regulatory agencies of such other country, pursuant to the laws of such country. For example, personal information stored in the United States is subject to the USA PATRIOT ACT. However, our practices will always continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy.

FarmLink has measures in place to ensure that during cross-border transfers of your personal information the personal information is subject to appropriate safeguards in accordance with data protection laws. These measures typically include contractual safeguards stipulating the confidentiality of the information and the purposes for which it is to be used.

Where and when appropriate, we will transmit amended personal information to third parties having access to the personal information in question.

9. Retention of Personal Information

FarmLink will only keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the relevant purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. To determine the appropriate retention period for your information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your information, the purposes for which we process your information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Please note, if you are a registered user and your account becomes inactive, FarmLink may choose not to retain your User Content, personal information associated with your account, or any other records associated with your account, for a period longer than three years after your account becomes inactive, in which case such information may be destroyed. If your account becomes inactive, you are solely responsible for exporting any such information from your account that you may wish to retain.

10. Non-personal Information

FarmLink may collect, use, and disclose non-personal information, including aggregated data resulting from the combination and/or aggregation or certain raw data collected from you with other data in a way that no longer personally identifies you or your farm operation. We make no attempt to link this non-personal information with the identity of individuals or their respective farm operations. We may permanently archive non-personal information for future use in any manner whatsoever.

11. Accuracy of Personal Information

FarmLink is committed to keeping your personal information as complete, up-to-date, and accurate as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used. FarmLink will promptly correct or complete any personal information found to be inaccurate or incomplete. Where appropriate, FarmLink will transmit amended information to third parties having access to the personal information in question. Individuals can correct their personal information through the Service, or by contacting our Privacy Officer pursuant to Section 18 of this Privacy Policy during regular business hours.

12. Access to Personal Information

Upon request, FarmLink will provide you with a reasonable opportunity to review the accuracy of your personal information. Such personal information will be provided within a reasonable time of the request and at a minimal or no cost to you.

Also upon request, FarmLink will provide an account of the use and disclosure of your personal information and, where reasonably possible, will state the source of the information. In providing an account of disclosure, FarmLink will provide a list of organizations to which it may have disclosed personal information about you when it is not possible to provide an actual list.

In certain circumstances, FarmLink may not be able to provide access to all the personal information we hold about you. In such a case, we will provide the reasons for denying access upon request. Such reasons may include:

  1. if doing so would likely reveal personal information about another individual that cannot be severed, or the information could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of another individual;
  2. if doing so would reveal any of our confidential information;
  3. if the information is protected by solicitor-client privilege;
  4. if the information was generated during a formal dispute resolution process; or
  5. if the information was collected in relation to the investigation of a breach of an agreement or a contravention of a federal or provincial law, or that of a foreign jurisdiction.

Individuals can obtain information or seek access to their personal information by contacting our Privacy Officer pursuant to Section 18 of this Privacy Policy during regular business hours.

13. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Service uses “cookies”, which are small text files placed on your computer or other device when you visit a website. When you visit the site again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information.

There are three main types of cookies:

  1. Session Cookies are specific to a particular visit and limited to sending session identifiers (random numbers generated by the server) so you do not have to re-enter information when you navigate to a new page or check out. Session cookies are not permanently stored on your device and are deleted when the browser closes;
  2. Persistent Cookies record information about your preferences and are stored in your browser cache or mobile device and remain on your device between browsing sessions. For example, a persistent cookie may be used on a website to remember your log-in details so you will not need to enter those details each time you visit that website; and
  3. Third Party Cookies placed by someone other than us which may gather data across multiple websites or sessions.

We use the below listed cookies to perform the following functions:

  1. Strictly Necessary / Technical Cookies that are essential to enable you to move around a website and use its features. You cannot withdraw your consent to the use of these types of cookies because without them, the Service cannot be provided.
  2. Analytical / Performance Cookies that collect information in aggregated form about how users interact with the Service so that we may improve functionality. These cookies are sometimes placed by third party providers which enable features or functionality provided by third parties in connection with the Service. For example, advertising, interactive content, and analytics (see Section 16). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.
  3. Functional Cookies that allow a website to remember choices you make, recognize you when you return and to personalize content.
  4. Targeting / Advertising Cookies that track browser habits and used to deliver targeted (interest-based) advertising based on your browsing activities and interests. See Section 15 on how you may opt out of targeting advertising.

You acknowledge that where we allow third parties to drop cookies, we have no control over those cookies or the data generated. Please refer to the third party’s privacy policy for information on what information they collect and how they use it. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.

Managing Cookies

You can manage website cookies in your browser settings, and you always have the choice to change these settings by accepting, rejecting, or deleting cookies. If you choose to change your settings, you may find that certain functions and features will not work as intended on the Service. All browser settings are slightly different, so to manage cookies, you should refer to the relevant settings within your browser.

Other Technologies

We may use other technologies similar to cookies like web beacons, which are sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited the Service or opened an email that we have sent them. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Right to Refuse the Use of Information Collection Technologies

We obtain your consent to our information collection technologies through our opt-in mechanism on the Service. You have the right to object to the use of information collection technologies such as cookies. Regular cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools that are available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some but not all instances can be blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Each browser you use will need to be set separately and different browsers offer different functionality and options in this regard.

Please be aware that if you disable or remove these technologies you may find that certain functions and features will not work as intended on the Service and that when you revisit our website your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.

14. Links to Other Websites

The Service may contain links to other sites, such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and LinkedIn. This Privacy Policy only applies to personal information that we collect, use and disclose. We are not responsible or liable for the privacy practices of third parties, and we strongly recommend that you review their privacy policies before you disclose personal information to them.

15. Targeted Advertising and How You May Opt Out

We may use third party advertising partners such as advertising networks, exchanges, and social media platforms to display advertising on the Service or to manage and serve our advertising on other sites. You have a variety of options to opt out of interest-based advertising ranging from browser controls, add on utilities such as ad blockers, and other opt out tools. Opt out tools may include organizations such as:

16. Analytics

The Service utilizes Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the Service, compiling reports on the activity of the Service for the Services’ operators and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage. The information generated by the cookie (including the IP address) is transferred and stored on a Google server located in the United States.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.  Google will not associate your IP address with any other information held by Google.

We may also use additional analytics programs from time to time to process non-personal information about you.

We make no attempt to link this non-personal information with the identity of individuals using the Service. Non-personal information may be permanently archived for future use in any manner whatsoever by FarmLink.

Disable Google Analytics

You can prevent the collection and processing of cookie created data relating to your utilization of the Service (including your IP) via Google by downloading and installing the browser-plugin available under the following link (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).

Google currently offers this opt-out tool for Internet Explorer 11, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Opera.

Further information concerning the terms and conditions of Google’s use and data privacy can be found at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html or at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.
