We use this information to monitor our Site's performance (such as number of visits, average time spent, page views) and for our business purposes such as working to continually upgrade our Site to provide you with a better experience the next time that you visit it.
We may place what's called a "cookie" on your computer to track your visit so that we can give you a better experience the next time that you visit our Site. Cookies are small data files that are placed on your device or computer through your web browser that can only be read by the website that placed the cookie. Cookies include an anonymous unique identifier that allows us to identify you and to record your preferences, track your visit so we can better understand your needs.
Most websites use cookies, and most web browsers are set to accept cookies. However, on most web browsers you may change this setting to have your web browser either:

Depending on how you use the Site and/or our Services there may be times when we need to collect personal information about you. "Personal information" means any information about an identifiable individual, including things like your name, address, contact information (telephone number, email address), gender, date of birth and other information that can be used to identify you. (We do not collect personal information for billing purposes, which is collected and processed by a third party and you should review their privacy policy.) When we say "personal information", we also include personal health information, i.e. information about a medical condition or treatment and includes your health history, medical records, prescriptions and health card number. To make things simpler in this Privacy Policy, the words "personal information" also include personal health information.
We may collect personal information from and/or about you for the purpose of registering you as a client of Muskoka Grown, for providing information to you about Muskoka Grown, for providing Services to you as a Muskoka Grown client or otherwise and for purposes relating to billing and administration, including:

Sometimes we will take information that has been collected and remove anything that could be used to personally identify you. We will remove any possible personal information so that the data cannot be used to identify you. This data is no longer personal information. We may use this type of data to measure trends, Site performance, category improvements, etc.
