This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes the practices of Rooted, its affiliates, successors, and assigns (“Rooted,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) with respect to the collection, use, disclosure, and safeguarding of information obtained through our website, digital marketplace, events, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the terms of this Policy. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use of the Services immediately.
Rooted is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who interact with our Services. We collect, use, and process information in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), and other applicable U.S. privacy and consumer protection statutes. This Policy is intended to comply with such laws and to limit Rooted’s liability to the fullest extent permitted. Nothing herein shall be construed to create rights or remedies beyond those explicitly required by applicable law.
Rooted may collect personal information voluntarily provided by you when you register for an account, apply to be a vendor, purchase products, subscribe to communications, attend events, or otherwise interact with the Services. Such information may include your name, email address, phone number, billing and shipping address, payment information, vendor credentials, government or tax identification numbers, payout details, order history, and communications with us. Rooted may also collect technical information automatically through cookies, device identifiers, IP addresses, geolocation data, and usage patterns. By using the Services, you consent to such collection to the extent permitted by law.
We process information for the limited purposes of providing the Services, facilitating vendor transactions, processing and securing payments through third-party providers such as Stripe, ensuring compliance with legal and tax obligations, verifying vendor identity and eligibility, preventing fraud and misuse, maintaining the functionality and security of our systems, conducting lawful business operations, and communicating with users regarding orders, updates, promotional offers, or other relevant matters. Rooted shall not be liable for use of your information consistent with this Policy or as required by law.
Rooted does not sell personal information. Rooted may share information with service providers, contractors, and vendors strictly to the extent necessary to perform business functions, such as hosting, analytics, fraud prevention, customer support, order fulfillment, and payment processing. Such parties are contractually required to use the information only for the services they provide to us. Rooted may also disclose information to comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, or court orders, to protect the safety, rights, or property of Rooted or others, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or business transfer. Rooted shall not be responsible or liable for the acts or omissions of third-party service providers, vendors, or independent contractors.
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, comply with legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. After such time, we take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymize, or render information unusable. Rooted shall not be liable for retention of data consistent with applicable law.
We employ commercially reasonable safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, Rooted does not and cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted over the Internet or stored on our systems. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that transmission and storage of information is at your own risk, and Rooted shall not be held liable for any unauthorized access, security breach, or resulting damages except as required by applicable law.
Users may have rights under applicable state law, including the right to know what personal information we collect, to request access, correction, or deletion, to opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and to exercise such rights without discrimination. To submit a verifiable consumer request, please contact us using the information provided below. Rooted will make good faith efforts to respond in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Rooted shall not be liable for inability to comply with requests where lawfully exempt or impracticable.
Our Services are not directed to children under the age of thirteen (13), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from such individuals. If Rooted becomes aware that it has collected information from a child without proper consent, Rooted will take reasonable steps to delete such information. Rooted shall not be liable for information provided by minors in violation of this Policy.
The Services may contain links to third-party websites or services over which Rooted exercises no control. Rooted is not responsible or liable for the privacy practices, policies, or actions of any third-party sites, and your use of such sites is at your own risk.
We may revise this Policy at any time, and any modifications will be effective when posted on our website with a revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Services after publication of a revised Policy constitutes acceptance of its terms. Rooted shall not be liable for your failure to review this Policy periodically to remain informed.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Rooted disclaims any and all liability for damages, losses, or claims arising out of or related to the use, disclosure, or processing of information in accordance with this Policy. By using the Services, you release Rooted from any such liability, except where prohibited by applicable law.
