Surf City Growers, Inc. is committed to respecting your privacy and recognizing your need for appropriate protection and management of personally identifiable information you share with us (the phrases "personally identifiable information" or "personal information" mean any information by which you can be identified, such as your name, address, telephone number, etc.). This privacy policy is intended to inform you of what personally identifiable information or personal information we may collect from you when you visit our website. Read on to learn how we use your personal information and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to review and correct, the information. This policy applies only to users accessing our website from within the United States.

Collecting Information About You
As a part of our commitment to your privacy, Surf City Growers, Inc. will not rent, sell or exchange its customers' information with other marketers and honor its customers' requests not to receive mail, telephone or other solicitations from Surf City Growers, Inc.

In general, you can visit Surf City Growers, Inc. without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. Our web servers track the Internet domain address from which people visit us and analyze this data for trends and statistics, but individual users will remain anonymous, unless you voluntarily tell us who you are.

When you place an order, you will only be asked for the information required to complete a purchase and email you a confirmation. If you sign up to become a Surf City NativeTM member, we store your name, address, email address and password. We maintain a record of your online purchases so that we can provide it to you and address any order inquiries. We store your password in order to serve it back to you in case you forgot it. We also use the information about the purchased items to make future product decisions.

We do NOT store credit card information.

We may contract with companies or persons to provide certain services including credit card processing, shipping, data management, promotional services, etc. We call them our Service Providers. We provide our Service Providers with the information needed for them to perform these services, including your personally identifiable information when necessary.

Although unlikely, in certain instances we may disclose your personally identifiable information when we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities who may be causing injury to you, to Surf City Growers, Inc. or to others. We may also disclose your personally identifiable information when the law requires it.

Please be sure to include your email address, full name, mailing address and specifically what information you do not want to receive from us.

If you would like to update or correct your email address, street address or other personal information with us, please contact us in the same manner described above along with the current information on our records and the information that you would like our records updated to.

When you purchase from us, or choose to participate in a community event that we are sponsoring, or enter a sweepstakes or other promotion, we may need to contact you via phone, email or physical mail to address questions or issues specific to your order, participation or entry, even if you have opted to not receive communications from us.

Cookies
Surf City Growers, Inc. uses "cookies." A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Generally, we use cookies to remind us of who you are, tailor our products and services to suit your personal interests, estimate our audience size, to process your order, and/or analyze your visiting patterns. You can generally set your browser to not accept cookies or to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. However, by not accepting cookies, you will be unable to shop on our site. Your session information is stored in a cookie so when you close your browser, that information is deleted. If we didn't use cookie technology to track your session, including your order, that information could be made available to another user on that computer, even after closing your browser.

We may contract with third parties who may use cookies and collect information on our behalf. These third parties are prohibited by our contract with them from sharing that information with anyone other than us or our Service Providers mentioned above.

Security
We use sophisticated encryption and authentication tools to protect the security of your personal information that you share with us. Unfortunately, however, much like offline transactions, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we take every precaution to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our website, and you do so at your own risk. Rest assured, once we receive your transmission, we will do our best to protect its security on our systems.

We urge you to keep the password you use with Surf City Growers, Inc. in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to close your browser window when you have finished your visit to our website. This is to ensure that others cannot access your account, especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place such as a library or hotel.

Our website contains links to websites operated and maintained by third parties, over which we have no control. Privacy policies on such linked sites may be different from the Surf City Growers, Inc. privacy policy. You access such linked sites at your own risk. You should always read the privacy policy of a linked site before disclosing any personal information on those sites.

Policy Changes
From time to time, it may become necessary for us to change our privacy policy in whole or in part. If we do so, the new policy will be posted on our Website.
