Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how CannaHubMN (https://cannahubmn.com), a Minnesota cannabis directory serving licensed cannabis operators and industry professionals, collects, uses, and safeguards information when you interact with our website. By using CannaHubMN, you agree to the practices described below.

Who We Are

CannaHubMN is a business-to-business directory platform focused on cannabis businesses in Minnesota. Our website is located at https://cannahubmn.com. Questions about this policy can be directed to us through the contact information provided on our site.

Information We Collect

Comments and User Submissions

When you leave a comment or submit content on CannaHubMN, we collect the information entered in the submission form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string. This data is used to assist with spam detection and site security.

If you provide an email address, an anonymized hash of that address may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine whether you have a profile image associated with it. You can review Gravatar’s privacy practices at https://automattic.com/privacy/. If a Gravatar image is found, it may be displayed publicly alongside your comment once approved.

Uploaded Media

If you upload images to the site, please be aware that uploaded files may contain embedded metadata, including GPS location data (EXIF data). Other visitors may be able to download these files and extract any location information they contain. We recommend removing sensitive location data from images before uploading.

Cookies

CannaHubMN uses cookies in the following circumstances:

• Comment convenience: If you leave a comment and opt in, your name, email address, and website URL may be saved in cookies for up to one year, so you do not need to re-enter that information on future visits.
• Browser compatibility check: When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to verify that your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
• Login session: Upon logging in, cookies are set to maintain your session and display preferences. Standard login cookies persist for two days; screen option cookies last up to one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks. Logging out removes all login cookies.
• Article editing: If you publish or edit a listing or article, a short-lived cookie records the post ID of the content you edited. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after one day.

Embedded Third-Party Content

Pages on CannaHubMN may include embedded content from external sources, such as videos, maps, or articles. Embedded content from third-party sites behaves as though you visited those sites directly. Those third parties may collect data about you, set their own cookies, deploy additional tracking technologies, and monitor your interactions with their embedded content — particularly if you are logged into an account on their platform.

How We Share Your Data

CannaHubMN does not sell personal data. We share data only in limited circumstances:

• If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email as a security measure.
• Visitor comments may be routed through an automated spam detection service.

Data Retention

Comments and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and process follow-up comments efficiently without holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users, we retain the personal information provided in your user profile for as long as your account remains active. Registered users may view, update, or delete their personal information at any time through their account settings, with the exception of their username. Site administrators also have the ability to view and edit user profile information.

Your Data Rights

If you have a registered account on CannaHubMN or have submitted comments, you have the right to:

• Request an exported copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Request deletion of any personal data we hold about you.

Please note that these rights do not extend to data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes. To submit a data request, contact us through the information provided on our website.

Where Your Data Is Processed

Data submitted through CannaHubMN, including visitor comments, may be processed by third-party services for spam detection and security purposes. These services operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable regulations. When we do, the revised policy will be posted on this page. Continued use of the CannaHubMN Minnesota cannabis directory following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
