Privacy Policy
Effective date: March 28, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Buffalo Cannabis Network (“BCN,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information through buffalocannabisnetwork.com, including our member directory, member portal, forms, events, reviews, newsletters, and related services.
1. Information we collect
- Information you provide directly: name, email address, company name, website, phone number, social links, business details, uploaded images, event details, review submissions, and any information you submit through forms, applications, or the member portal.
- Account information: login credentials and account-related activity for approved member accounts.
- Site usage information: browser, device, referring pages, approximate location, and interactions collected through analytics, security, performance, or hosting tools.
- Communications: messages you send to us, newsletter signups, support requests, and submission approvals or notifications.
2. How we use information
- operate, maintain, and secure the site;
- manage directory listings, member profiles, and submissions;
- review, publish, edit, or moderate content submitted to BCN;
- respond to inquiries, support requests, and member communication;
- send newsletters, updates, approvals, and transactional messages;
- improve site performance, editorial quality, and user experience;
- prevent abuse, spam, fraud, or unauthorized access.
3. Public vs. private information
Some information submitted for listings or member profiles may be published publicly, such as business name, logo, industry, city/state, website, and approved profile content. Direct personal contact information is treated more carefully and may be restricted, hidden, or limited based on BCN site settings and operational needs.
4. Member submissions and account data
If you are a BCN member or submit content for publication, we may store your account information, submission history, uploaded media, and moderation status. We use that information to operate the member portal, review content, communicate with you, and manage your listing or account.
5. Cookies, analytics, and technical data
We may use cookies, analytics tools, spam prevention tools, and server logs to understand traffic, improve performance, secure the site, and measure usage. You can adjust browser settings to limit cookies, but some site features may not function properly.
6. Sharing information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate the site or business, such as hosting, analytics, email delivery, form handling, spam prevention, or payment infrastructure. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of BCN, our members, or the public.
7. Payments and third-party platforms
If payments, subscriptions, sponsorships, or related transactions are offered through the site, payment information may be processed by third-party providers. BCN does not store full payment card details on the website itself unless explicitly stated.
8. Data retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the site, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and preserve editorial or business history.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and administrative safeguards to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss. No system can guarantee absolute security, and you use the site at your own risk.
10. Your choices and requests
You may contact us to request access, correction, update, or deletion of personal information we control, subject to legal, operational, or recordkeeping requirements. You may also opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe mechanism in those messages when available.
11. Children’s privacy
This site is intended for adults and business users. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
12. External links
This site may contain links to third-party sites and services. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third parties.
13. Changes to this policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date on this page. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
