Who we share your data with

Blue Ribbon Farm discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Blue Ribbon Farm’s behalf or to provide services available at Blue Ribbon Farm’s website or physical location, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others.

Blue Ribbon Farm will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. For example, if we need to organize a delivery of products to you, you consent to us sharing your information with our employees, contractors or affiliated organizations necessary to complete the request.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

If you are a registered user of a Blue Ribbon Farm website and have supplied your email address, Blue Ribbon Farm may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Blue Ribbon Farm and our products. We use our website and social media to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Blue Ribbon Farm takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
