By accessing or using our Site or otherwise providing information to us, you consent to the processing and transfer of information in and to the U.S. and other countries.

Use (Processing) of Consumption Info. As discussed above, Mode collects data about your cannabis consumption activity or your physical characteristics (together, “Consumption Info”) in order to provide to our Site and services.  Because of the personal nature of this data, we strive to provide you with clear information about how Consumption Info will be used.  As this data may be considered sensitive in certain jurisdictions, we take appropriate measures in protecting and using this data and, where required by applicable law or under Mode’s internal policies, will obtain your consent for use of your Consumption Info. Consumption Info is only shared in accordance with this Privacy Policy in a de-identified, anonymized, and aggregated form.

• How does Mode use Consumption Info? Mode collects Consumption Info from you so that we can help you achieve your objectives and goals while using our apps, and when we provide you with products or services. 
• Enabling Core Features of the Apps and Experiences. Our app requires that Mode processes your Consumption Info so that you can use the core features.  For example, when using the Mode app, Mode needs access to your Consumption Info and height and weight so that we can recommend dose plans and consumption schedules. If you do not provide accurate values, some measurements in the app may be less accurate than they would be if you provided accurate measurements. Mode also maintains systems that store aggregated Consumption Info from you and others so that we can deliver the apps and services to you and provide internal reports on metrics such as use and popularity. Mode’s features leverage analysis of individual and aggregated Consumption Info so that we can personalize your experience and provide recommendations for third party cannabis products to use with Mode. 
• Direct Marketing Preferences Still Honored. Mode will honor your existing preferences about how we should communicate with you for direct marketing.  If you have opted-in to receive email marketing, you will continue to receive emails, if you have opted-out from receiving email marketing, changing your Consumption Info settings will not sign you up for any new email program unless prompted and you provide consent.

Sharing of Information 

We may share information about you as follows: (i) with vendors, consultants and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf; (ii) with our strategic partners and for purposes of providing services to you; (iii) in response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with any applicable law, regulation or legal process or as otherwise required by any applicable law, rule or regulation; (iv) if we believe your actions are inconsistent with our user agreements or policies, or to protect the rights, property and safety of us or any third party; (v) in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing or transfer of all or a portion of our business to another company; or (vi) with your consent or at your direction. We may also share aggregated or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
