Privacy Policy

Legend Seeds values the privacy of individuals who visit our website (legendseeds.net) and adheres to the privacy standards which have been adopted by the country which Legend Seeds operates. This statement sets forth the important information which individuals who visit our website need to know about how Legend Seeds collects and uses personal information from website visitors.

In this Privacy Policy, “Legend” refers to Legend Seeds, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including the business unit of Legend that operates the website on which this Privacy Policy is found.

Please read this policy carefully. By visiting Legend’s website and using the services provided on that site, you are indicating your agreement to Legend’s use of your personal information as set out in this Policy.

This Policy is intended to be in compliance with the applicable privacy laws and regulations of each country in which Legend operates and from which personally identifiable information is collected. To the extent the laws of a country may prohibit Legend from using and sharing personal information in a way described in this Policy, the Policy and Legend’s practices shall be deemed modified to be consistent with such local laws.

What Does This Policy Cover?
This Privacy Policy applies to Legend’s website and information collected by and through the website. It does not apply to any other Legend services or dealings with users or customers and does not apply to third-party sites which may be linked to the Legend site.

Collection of information
Legend’s website collects personally identifiable information only from individuals who voluntarily choose to provide the information through the website. In this Policy the foregoing information is referred to as “Personal Information.” That Personal Information may be collected in several different ways:

  • Feedback or comment forms whereby users can submit questions or comments to Legend or to supply an email address to sign up for Legend newsletters. In this Policy, the foregoing information is referred to as “User Information.”
  • From time-to-time our site may request additional information from users by means of surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose whatever additional information may be requested. Information requested through surveys and contests may include additional demographic information. In this Policy, the foregoing information is referred to as “Survey Information.”

In addition to the foregoing Personal Information, the site automatically logs information about a visitor from the browser used to access the site (e.g., Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc.). This includes information about the IP address of the visitor, the pages in the site which are visited from the address and the website which the user visited just prior to the Legend site. In this Policy, the foregoing information is referred to as “Visit Information.” While some jurisdictions consider IP addresses to be personal information, none of this Visit Information is used by Legend for direct or indirect identification of the individual user who is accessing the Legend site. Visit Information will be used by Legend to diagnose problems with its web servers, to administer, design and construct its web sites, to track visitor movements on the website and gather broad demographic information from aggregate use only.

Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that websites commonly write to the site visitor’s hard drive when a site is visited. A cookie file contains information that can identify a return visitor each time he or she visits our site. The data is encrypted for added security. Legend’s website may use cookies to measure activity and traffic patterns on the site in order to continually improve the visitor’s experience.

A browser can be set to warn the users before accepting cookies. Users can choose to refuse cookies by turning them off in the browser. Users do not need to have cookies turned on to visit our web site.

While we take all reasonable steps to protect the privacy of our website visitors, we cannot promise that the current limitations of our online application’s programming will address every browser setting or honor every personal browser preference. In particular, we have not implemented the necessary program changes to honor “Do No Track” or “DNT” browser signals. As our online applications programming is refined, we will take all reasonable steps to honor such requests in the future. Please return to this privacy policy for further updates on this topic.

Further, our online service providers or business partners may implement technologies that allow for the collection of personal identifiable information over time and across websites. We recommend that you review each privacy policy posted on the websites that you visit to better understand privacy practices on those websites.

Legend Seeds’ Use of Your Personal Information
Your Personal Information may be used to communicate with you about your use of our site, to let you know about changes to our services or our site or to provide services to you or to improve our understanding of what visitors want and need to see on the site. In particular:

  • User Information may be used by Legend primarily to enhance the usability and friendliness of the Legend website and to ensure that the information which is provided is timely and relevant and meets the needs of our visitors. Legend may also use the information which visitors voluntarily furnish through this site to provide information and promotional material to persons who have visited the Legend site and to process specific requests for information which visitors may make. (See “Opting In/Opting Out” below if you do not wish to receive such materials from Legend.)
  • Survey Information will be used in a manner similar to User Information, but will be used primarily in aggregate form to provide Legend with information on customer needs, product design, market demand, etc.

Also, you should know that your Personal Information, as well as Visit Information collected at a Legend site, may be used by Legend security personnel if deemed necessary to protect Legend from a threat or other perceived security risk and such information may be shared with law enforcement authorities if appropriate.

Sharing and Disclosure of Your Information
Legend may share Personal Information with others for some purposes:

  • We may partner with other parties to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names or other contact information that is necessary for the third parties to provide these services. These parties will not be allowed to use personal identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
  • We also may share Personal Information about visitors to our website among our corporate affiliates and subsidiary companies for purposes related to the business of those affiliates and subsidiaries.
  • Legend may also share Personal Information about website visitors with third parties under the following circumstances:
    • When you consent to disclosure;
    • To comply with law, court orders, subpoena, or legal process;
    • To enforce or apply Legend’s agreements or protect Legend and its rights,
    • By operation of law, which such Personal Information is transferred as a part of sale of assets including the assets represented by this site; or
    • In the event that Legend, or substantially all of its assets, are acquired outside of the ordinary course of business, and such Personal Information may be one of the transferred assets.

Opting In/Opting Out
Upon registering at any Legend website which collects Personal Information, visitors will be given an opportunity to opt out of receiving promotional materials from Legend or from Trade Partners. If the user would like to “opt out”, he may do so by sending an email message to info@legendseeds.net or through the instructions contained in the e-mail messages delivering such materials to him.

Likewise you may withdraw your consent to the collection or use of your Personal Information at any time by sending an email message to info@legendseeds.net identifying yourself and describing the Personal Information which you believe has been collected through this site.

Retention of Personal Information
Legend will periodically delete Personal Information collected from visitors to its website if it is no longer needed for any purpose for which the information may be used or disclosed under the terms of this Policy.

Security
Legend takes precautions to protect users’ information. Our safeguards include technical means and policies and procedures that our staff is trained to follow. In any event in which the Legend website is hosted by a third party, these safeguards shall also apply. If as a registered user you receive a password, you should keep it confidential because it is the key to access the information held by Legend about you. If you leave your computer’s internet browser running and someone else uses your computer, they will be able to access your accounts; thus, if your computer is not physically secure remember to shut down your browser before you leave it.

We try to reduce the likelihood of accidental disclosures and unintended access and modification of account information, but it is impossible to eliminate this possibility completely. When users submit sensitive information via the website, their information is protected both online and offline.

Legend employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’ information is protected.

Protecting Your Own Privacy
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for example on message boards, through email or in chat areas – that information can be collected and used by others. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy for your passwords and/or any account information.

Changes to Policy
If Legend decides to change its privacy policies and practices, we will post those changes to our Privacy Policy on our website in advance of the changes taking effect, so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users. Users will have a choice as to whether we use their information in this different manner. We will continue to be able to use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy under which the information was collected.

Contacting Legend

The Legend website provides a Contact Us section to facilitate feedback from site visitors. Please use this facility to notify us if you have any questions, concerns or complaints about the manner in which your personal information has been collected or handled by Legend or contact Legend’s headquarters.
