This section supplements the Happy Valley Genetics Privacy Policy above and describes how HVV Genetics, LLC ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses, and shares personal information through the Happy Valley Genetics Rewards mobile and web application (the "Rewards App"). Where this section and the Privacy Policy address the same topic, this section controls for data collected through the Rewards App.
The Rewards App is restricted to users 21 years of age or older.
When you create a Rewards App account, we collect:
If you sign in with Apple and choose "Hide My Email," Apple provides us with a private relay email address (@privaterelay.appleid.com) instead of your real email. We treat this relay address the same as any other email: we store it, we may send transactional messages to it, and we do not attempt to identify, deanonymize, or trace it back to your real Apple ID.
To award points for purchases, the Rewards App optionally links your Rewards account to your existing customer record on redkeyseeds.com ("RKS"). When you link, we collect and store:
We also write a record of your Rewards App identifier into your RKS customer record so the link persists if your email later changes.
While you use the Rewards App, we maintain on your behalf:
For transparency, the Rewards App does not collect:
The Rewards App does not embed any advertising networks, third-party analytics platforms, or behavioral tracking tools.
We use the information described in Section 1 to:
We do not use Rewards App data for advertising, marketing personalization, or sale to third parties.
