Cultivate USA Inc. (“Cultivate”) products include our web extension (“Extension”), our mobile application (“Mobile App”), and our website www.wecultivate.us (“Website”) which allow users to search products made or manufactured locally.

In order to provide alternative products while you’re shopping, Cultivate collects information through our Extension, Mobile App, and Website directly from your input. Cultivate gives you the option of creating an account with us so you can favorite and save items you like, amongst other soon-to-come features. If you do not wish to access such features and just want to shop, an account is not required, just download our Extension through the Chrome Web Store or Mobile App from the Apple Store for free.

We collect information while you have our Extension and/or Mobile App downloaded, such as:

This information allows us to offer you our services, perform tests around the quality of our product, ensure we’re handling errors that you may see, and prevent fraud. Additionally, we may use it for marketing and communication purposes or understand how users interact with our products, emails, and other communication.

Cultivate does not collect data from your search history, emails, or websites that are not retail or e-commerce related where you can be shown alternatives of US made or manufactured products. On an anonymous basis, we will gather information on items being searched the most similar to all e-commerce websites for better user experience, analytics, and feature development for our users. We do not collect credit card or bank information.

On e-commerce and retail sites, Cultivate collects the name of the retailer and page views. We’ll also collect information on products being viewed the most, anonymously. This information helps us display meaningful information to our users and enhance our product utility.

Like the majority of online services, Cultivate uses cookies to collect the aforementioned information which helps us analyze user engagement, build more product features, and a more optimized user experience for product searches. Other uses of cookies for us include paying third parties or receiving commissions from third parties for helping users find our product and vice-versa.

Cultivate does not collect personally identifiable information on its users and does not engage in soliciting information from minors knowingly. Some products may be adult products, please do not attempt to use our services for such products if you’re under the age of 18 or considered a minor. If we are made aware we have collected any such information of a minor, we will immediately and permanently delete such information.

This policy may change from time to time and we will notify you of those changes here with the date of our policy on top.

By using our Website, Mobile App, and Extension, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy.

FAQ
