website (the “Site”) and the AIMS™ (Agriculture

operated
by dFarm, Inc (the “Company”).
The term "Site" is often used in this Privacy Policy to
refer to
both the Site and App.
We respect and protect the privacy of our users. This
Privacy

If you sign up via a social network like Facebook, your

Do we use cookies or Tracking Pixels?
Yes.
Cookies are small files that include an anonymous unique
identifier. Cookies let us recognize your browser and
remember certain information about you in order to
personalize your experience of our Site.
We also use cookies to compile aggregate data about traffic
to our Site so that we can improve our Site and Site.
We may use both persistent and session cookies. Persistent
cookies remain on your computer after you close your session
and until you delete them; session cookies expire when you
close your browser.
A tracking pixel is a tiny pixel-sized image that allows us
to track your website visits, advertising impressions, and
other types of Internet activity. It's also sometimes called
a web bug, beacon, or page tag.
Do We Use Google AdWords or other remarketing methods?
Yes.
We may use the Google AdWords remarketing service to
advertise on third party websites (including Google) to
previous visitors to our Site. It could mean that we
advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task
on our site, for example using the contact form to make an
enquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on
the Google search results page, or a site in the Google
Display Network.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve
ads based on someone’s past visits to our Site. Any data
collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy
policy and Google’s privacy policy.
You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you
using the Google Ad Preferences page.
Do we use Google Analytics?
Yes.
Users who visit the Site and have JavaScript enabled are
tracked through Google Analytics. Google Analytics collects
information anonymously and reports website trends to us
without identifying individual visitors. Google Analytics
collects a variety of information from users, including the
Internet protocol (IP address) that is used to connect your
computer to the Internet (which it does not report to us),
your Internet service provider (ISP), browser type, type of
operating system, the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
clickstream to, through, and from our Site, including date
and time, cookie, the length of time you spend on particular
pages, which links you click while on our Site, and similar
Site visit information. Google Analytics data is shared with
Google.

having your information shared through Google Analytics,

http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/
We use this information to make our Site easier to find on
the Internet and to improve our Site by learning which pages
and features are interesting to our visitors. We treat this
information as non-personal information and do not attempt
to connect it to personally identifiable information, except
as otherwise required by law.
How Do We Respond to "Do Not Track" Signals?
We may track your browsing behavior to better tailor
suggestions and information for you.
Some third-party sites also keep track of your browsing
activities when they serve you content, which enables them
to tailor what they present to you.
You can opt out of certain tracking by adjusting the settings
on your browser. However, many websites (including the Site)
may not respond to such signals.
There are also browser extensions that may block tracking.
Again, they may not be effective in all cases.
How long do we store your information?
We intend to store some of your information and User Content
indefinitely.
What about links to other websites?
We may provide links to or compatibility with other websites.
However, we’re not responsible for the privacy practices
employed by those websites or the information or content
they contain.
How do we protect your information?
We use Site-appropriate physical, electronic, and other
procedures to safeguard and secure the information we
collect. However, please be aware that the Internet is an
inherently unsafe environment, and that hackers are
constantly working to defeat security measures.
Thus, we cannot guarantee that your information will not be
accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed, and you accept
this risk.
Do we disclose any information to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside
parties your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) for
commercial or marketing purposes.
We may share your PII with third-party processors, which can
include:
- Providers of email management and distribution tools
- Providers of security and fraud prevention services
- Providers of date aggregation and analytics software
We will, if required by a valid court order, provide your
personal information in a civil or criminal proceeding.
We will not share any PII that we have collected from or
regarding you except as described below.
Information Disclosed in Connection
with Business Transactions. If we are acquired by
a third party as a result of a transaction such as a merger,
acquisition or asset sale or if our assets are acquired by a
third party in the event we go out of business or enter
bankruptcy, some or all of our assets, including your PII,
may be disclosed or transferred to a third party acquirer in
connection with the transaction.
Information Disclosed for Our
Protection and the Protection of Others. We
cooperate with
government and law enforcement officials or private parties
to enforce and comply with the law. We may disclose any
information about you to government or law enforcement
officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion,
believe necessary or appropriate: (i) to respond to claims,
legal process (including subpoenas); (ii) to protect our
