5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

The Website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies in the following categories:

• Strictly Necessary — required for the Website to function, such as maintaining your session or shopping cart;
• Performance/Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve it;
• Functionality — remember choices you make, such as language or store location preferences;
• Advertising/Targeting — used to show you more relevant advertising and measure its effectiveness.

Where legally required, we use a cookie-consent tool that lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies before they are placed on your device. We do not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals.

California visitors: by using the Website, you consent to our use of the tracking technologies described in this Section, including any electronic pen register, trap and trace device, or similar technology used for site analytics, to the extent applicable under California Penal Code § 638.51 or a similar law. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your preferences in our cookie-consent tool.

6. How We Share Your Information

• Service providers who help us operate the business, such as IT hosting, payment processing, our e-commerce/point-of-sale platform, and marketing or SMS platforms, under confidentiality and data-protection obligations;
• Regulators, including the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission and the state seed-to-sale tracking system, as legally required;
• Law enforcement, courts, and government agencies, when required by law or to protect the safety or rights of any person;
• A successor business, in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets; and
• Any other party, at your direction (for example, if you make a referral).

Bud’s Goods does not sell your personal information for money. Some sharing of information with advertising or analytics partners for interest-based advertising could be considered a “sale” or “share” under privacy laws of certain other states. Massachusetts does not currently have a comprehensive consumer privacy law of this kind (see Section 10 below), but we will update this Policy and provide an opt-out mechanism if and when Massachusetts law requires it.

7. Data Retention

• Compliance and transaction records are retained for the period required under Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission recordkeeping regulations;
• Marketing data is retained until you opt out or request deletion;
• Account data is retained while your account is active, plus a reasonable period afterward for legal and business purposes; and
• Security footage is retained as described in Section 3 above.

8. Data Breach Notification

If Bud’s Goods experiences a breach of security involving your unencrypted personal information that creates a substantial risk of identity theft or fraud, we will notify affected Massachusetts residents, the Massachusetts Attorney General, and the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation as soon as practicable and without unreasonable delay, consistent with our obligations under M.G.L. c. 93H. Notice will describe, to the extent known, the nature of the breach, the categories of information involved, and steps you can take to protect yourself.

9. How We Protect Your Information

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, consistent with the Massachusetts Standards for the Protection of Personal Information (201 CMR 17.00). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your Privacy Choices & Rights

Massachusetts does not currently have a comprehensive consumer privacy law comparable to California’s. As a matter of practice, however, we offer all customers the ability to: request access to the personal information we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate information; request deletion of your personal information, subject to our regulatory recordkeeping obligations; and opt out of marketing communications at any time. To exercise any of these choices, contact privacy@budsgoods.com; we will respond within a reasonable time.
