Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 2026 Privacy Officer: Operations Manager Contact: info@trugreencannabis.com
1. Our Commitment to Data Sovereignty
Trugreen Cannabis (“Trugreen,” “we,” “us”) respects the privacy of our Comox Valley community. Unlike many retailers, we prioritize Data Sovereignty. Our WordPress website and its associated data are hosted on Canadian servers through FullHost. This ensures your personal information remains under the protection of Canadian privacy laws and is not stored on foreign servers.
2. Information We Collect
We only collect the minimum information necessary to provide our services:
- Age Verification: Our age gate may request your Date of Birth (DOB). We do not store this data. It is used solely to generate a temporary session cookie to grant access to the site.
- Marketing & VIP Lists: If you voluntarily opt-in to our newsletter or SMS alerts, we collect your email address and/or phone number. In line with BC Privacy Commissioner recommendations, we avoid collecting full names for marketing lists whenever possible to minimize your “data footprint.”
- Event Inquiries: For “Cub Spot” or “Cub Space” bookings, we collect contact information and event details necessary to fulfill the contract.
- Technical Data: Like most websites, we collect anonymized data such as IP addresses and browser types to improve site performance and security.
3. Purpose of Collection
We use your information strictly for:
- Complying with Health Canada and BC LCRB age-verification requirements.
- Sending requested updates on “fresh drops,” wellness resources, and community events.
- Managing bookings for our community spaces.
- Preventing fraudulent activity or unauthorized access to our digital infrastructure.
4. Third-Party Service Providers
We do not sell or trade your personal information. To provide a seamless experience, we share data with the following Canadian-compliant partners:
- Blaze/Greenline: When you transition to our “Shop” menu, your transaction data is handled by our POS provider.
- FullHost: Our Canadian infrastructure provider.
5. Data Retention & Security
- Security Arrangements: We employ industry-standard SSL encryption and firewalls. Our hosting environment is monitored 24/7 for security vulnerabilities.
- Limited Retention: We only keep your information as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected (e.g., as long as you are subscribed to our VIP list). Once it is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
6. Your Rights (Access & Correction)
Under BC’s PIPA, you have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- Request the correction of any inaccuracies.
- Withdraw your consent for marketing at any time via the “Unsubscribe” link in our communications.
7. Cookies
We use cookies to remember your age-verification status (for 30 days) and to analyze site traffic. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may require you to re-verify your age upon every visit.
8. Changes to this Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changing BC regulations. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
