We refer to the overall information you provide as “Ordering Information”. We will use the Ordering Information for the following purposes:

• To create your account, verify your identity, and allow you easier access to your account and information about your past purchases.
• To handle, fulfill and deliver your order, and to bill you for the products you purchased.
• To send you administrative notifications and updates about your order, such as purchase- confirmation email, invoice, and shipping information.

Information you provide when you contact us with an inquiry.

You can send us an email inquiry to the email address indicated on our Ordering Website. When you do so, we typically will receive and process your email address, name, and all other content you include in your message (“Inquiry Information”).

We will use your Inquiry Information to contact you about your inquiry and handle and respond to your inquiry.

With Whom We Share Your Information

We will not share your information with third parties, except in the events listed below or when you provide us your explicit and informed consent. These are also the categories of third parties to whom Valens has disclosed personal information in the preceding 12 months.

We share your information with our service providers that help us operate the Ordering Website and our business.

We will share your personal information with our service providers who assist us with the internal operations of our business and the Ordering Website. These service providers include PayPal (payment processing), Avalara (tax computation tool) Woo-commerce (online sales platform), e-fulfillment (logistics service) and the applicable shipping service. We reserve the right to change some or all of our service providers from time to time.

We will share your Information with competent authorities, if you abuse your right to use the Ordering Website or violate any applicable law.

If you abused your rights to use the Ordering Website, or violated any applicable law, we may share your information with competent authorities and with third parties (such as legal counsels and advisors), for the purpose of handling of the violation or breach.

We will share your Information if we are legally required to do so.

We will share your information if we are required to disclose your information by a judicial, governmental, or regulatory authority.

We will share your Information with third parties in any event of change in Valens’ structure.

If the operation of the Ordering Website is organized within a different framework, or through another legal structure or entity (such as due to a merger or acquisition), we will share your information only as required to enable the structural change in the operation of the Ordering Website.

Security and Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as we need it to operate the Ordering Website and interact with customers and service providers, and thereafter as needed for record-keeping matters.

We will retain your information for the duration needed to support our ordinary business activities operating the Ordering Website. Thereafter, we will still retain your personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, for recordkeeping purposes, to resolve disputes, establish and defend legal claims and enforce our contracts.

We implement measures to secure your information: We implement some measures to reduce the risks of damage, loss of information and unauthorized access or use of information, such as encryption of the data during its transmission to our servers. However, these measures do not provide absolute information security. Therefore, although efforts are made to secure your personal information, it is not guaranteed, and you cannot expect that the Ordering Website will be immune from information security risks.

This is also the information we have collected in the past 12 months.
