  1. 8. Do-Not-Track Signal

  1. 9. Information for Site Visitors and Business Contacts from California

We provide a business-to-business service.  If you are a California resident and we receive your personal information in any of the ways included above, we may use your personal information and business details as described in this Policy.  California law provides you with the following rights with respect to your personal information, subject to certain limitations:

  • The right to know what personal information we have collected, used, or disclosed about you.
  • The right to request that we delete any personal information we have collected about you.
  • The right to correct inaccurate personal information about you.
  • The right to opt out of the selling or sharing of your personal information, which you can exercise as described below or by modifying your privacy preferences (e.g., Global Privacy Control), available through certain internet browsers and extensions, that signal your preference to opt out.  Please note that clearing your cookies at any time will remove the signal of your selected privacy preferences.

 

In addition, and as set forth below, California law requires us to identify, for the 12-month period prior to the date of this Policy, what information we may have “sold” or “shared” about you. For the 12-month period prior to the date of this Policy, we have not sold your personal information. For the 12-month period prior to the date of this Policy, we have only shared personal information as described above.  We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information, as defined in applicable laws, for any purposes other than those permitted by applicable law.

Opt-Out Preference Signals:  We are working towards enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) as an additional way for you to submit a request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information through browsers and/or browser extensions that support such a signal.  Until then, you can opt out of the use of third-party cookies for personalized advertising by setting your cookie preferences on your browser.

To submit any of the above requests, you may contact us at (214) 491-4149 or by email at info@heritagelandscapesupplygroup.com.  Please note that we are only required to honor requests to know twice in a 12-month period.    

When you exercise these rights and submit a request to us, we will verify your identity by asking you to provide us with additional information such as your email address, order numbers of previous orders of our products and services, or the last four digits of a credit or debit card used to make a purchase.  We also may use a third-party verification provider to verify your identity. We will endeavor to honor such requests unless such a request conflicts with certain lawful exemptions under California's consumer privacy law. Please note that your exercise of these choices is subject to certain exemptions to safeguard the public interest (e.g., the prevention or detection of crime) and our interests (e.g., the maintenance of legal privilege).  

Authorized Agent:

California consumers may use an authorized agent on their behalf to exercise a privacy choice discussed above. If you are an authorized agent acting on behalf of a California consumer to communicate with us or to exercise a privacy choice discussed above, you must be able to demonstrate that you have the requisite authorization to act on behalf of the resident and have sufficient access to their laptop, desktop, or mobile device to exercise these choices digitally. If you are an authorized agent trying to exercise choices on behalf of a Heritage Landscape Supply Group user, please contact us using the information below with supporting verification information, which includes a valid Power of Attorney in the State of California, proof that you have access to the consumer's interface, and proof of your own identity.

Non-Discrimination:

We do not discriminate against California residents who exercise any of their rights described in our Privacy Policy. Your exercise of these rights will have no adverse effect on the price and quality of our goods or services.

Record Retention:

We may retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected or to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. We strive to retain your personal information no longer than is reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes listed in this Policy or as required by law.  The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: (a) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with our business contacts and provide services, (b) whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject, and (c) whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

  1. 10. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change our Policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent announcement at our home page located at https://www.heritagelandscapesupplygroup.com/en/.
