We Care About Privacy, Probably More Than You
Because we use analytics (Google) and may have some advertisements on the site, there are cookies in use and your IP address will be collected temporarily. We do not store this for long. We collect no other personal information on this site. Our forms go to a HIPAA-compliant, encrypted, external partner (Jotforms.com) and are not stored on this site. We never sell or rent anyone’s data.
Personal identification information
We may collect personal identification information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our site, register on the site, place an order, fill out a form, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on our Site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information. Users may, however, visit our Site anonymously. We will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personally identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site related activities.
Non-personal identification information
We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site. Non-personal identification information may include the browser name, the type of computer and technical information about Users means of connection to our Site, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information.
Web browser cookies

How we use collected information
BK Grows, Inc. may collect and use Users personal information for the following purposes:
- Google Analytics collects data on website use such as pages viewed and IP address. We have adjusted our settings to only save this data for only 14 months.
- Email addresses are saved only if you subscribe to our mailing list or you email with us. We occasionally delete old email correspondence automatically, but we delete all email correspondence from any user upon request except where legally necessary (such as receipts or business agreements).
- Some advertising partners use cookies and collect data (such as Google Adsense and Amazon). We control this as much as we can, but it is a third-party system. Users should take appropriate privacy measures as necessary for their individual needs.
Right to Be Forgotten (EU Citizens+)
We believe in the right to be forgotten for everyone, not only EU Citizens. If you would like us to remove any stored information pertaining to your name or email, just let us know at shelly@bkgrows.com. We will be able to remove anything we control, but not data obtained by other websites (such as IP address or anything you enter into those sites) and providers that you visit after leaving achildgrows.com. This does not apply to correspondence we are required to retain such as receipts and business agreements.

We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners, trusted affiliates and advertisers for the purposes outlined above.We may use third party service providers to help us operate our business and the Site or administer activities on our behalf, such as sending out newsletters or surveys.
