Welcome. You have arrived at a website provided by LandCare Tech Inc. (“LandCare Tech,” “Company” or “we,” “our” or “us”). We respect your privacy and want to protect your personal information.
This Privacy Policy outlines what information we collect from you, why we collect it, how we use it, under what circumstances we may share it with third parties, how we protect that information, and how you may opt out of the sale of that information. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at [email protected].
This Privacy Policy governs www.landcaretech.com, its subdomains, and all portals, applications, products, goods, services, events, and any interactive features, applications, or other services that post a link to this Privacy Policy (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy also applies to information (including the “Personal Information” defined below) that we may collect from you via phone calls, emails, or other communications with our representatives or in any other instance when you contact us. We refer to all of the above as our “Services.”
All references to “you,” “your” or “User” in this Privacy Policy means the person who registers for, accesses, or uses the Site or our Services. If you use or access our Site or Services on behalf of a company or organization, such company or organization will also be considered to agree to this Privacy Policy, and “you” and “your” refers to that company or organization as well.
Please note that if you voluntarily provide your information in the course of interacting with our Site, speaking with one of our representatives on the phone, or otherwise using our Services, we will take that as your agreement to our collection, use, and disclosure of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Use which govern your use of this Site.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any products, goods, services, websites, or content that are offered by third parties (“Third Party Services”), which are governed by their respective privacy policies.

5. Controlling Cookies
We do not use any third-party cookies at this time. We may use Tracking Technologies, such as our own cookies, to address your preferences on our Site, or to report how you used the Site. You can set your web browser to alert you when a cookie is being used. You can also get information on the duration of the cookie and what server your data is being returned to. You then can accept or reject the cookie. Additionally, you can set your browser to refuse all cookies or accept only cookies returned to the originating servers.
Some services may not function or may have more limited functionality if your web browser does not accept cookies. However, you can allow cookies from specific websites by making them ‘trusted websites’ in your web browser.
You can opt in or out of cookies at any time – except strictly necessary cookies (these are used to help make our website work efficiently). If you wish to restrict or block the cookies set by any website, you can do this through the web browser settings for each web browser you use, on each device you use to access the internet. You may “clear” all cookies to force our cookie preferences panel to restart so that you may change your cookie preferences at any time. Currently, you cannot synchronize your settings between your browsers and devices (e.g., your computer and your smartphone), so you must manage your cookies on each browser, on each device.
Information on controlling and deleting cookies, including on a wide variety of browsers, is also available at allaboutcookies.org. Some of the more popular browsers (and links to manage your cookies on each) are:
If you do not wish to accept cookies from one of our emails, you can choose not to download any images or click on any links. You can also set your browser to restrict cookies or to reject them entirely. These settings will apply to all cookies, whether included on websites or in emails. Depending on your email or browser settings, cookies in an email may sometimes be automatically accepted (for example, when you’ve added an email address to your address book or safe senders list). For more information, refer to your email browser or device instructions.
Please note that even if you exercise the opt-out choices above, you may continue to receive advertisements, for example, ads based on the particular website you are viewing (e.g., contextually based ads) or ads that are not targeted at you which may be less relevant. Also, if your browser (like some Safari browsers) is configured to reject opt-out cookies when you opt out, your opt-out may not be effective.
California residents have additional options to limit the sharing of their Personal Information, as set forth below in our California Privacy Rights section.
6. Children’s Privacy
The Site is not intended for use by children under the age of 16. We do not request, or knowingly collect, any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 16. If you are the parent or guardian of a child under 16 who you believe has provided her or his information to us, please contact us at [email protected] to request the deletion of that information.
7. Do Not Track Disclosures
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. Various third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms for the expression of consumer choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services (e.g., browser do not track signals), but there is no universally agreed upon standard for what a company should do when it detects a DNT signal. Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms. You can learn more about Do Not Track here.
8. Visitors to the Site Outside of the United States
Our Site is not intended for visitors outside of the United States. If you are visiting the Site from a location outside of the U.S., your connection will be through and to servers located in the U.S. All information you receive from the Site will be created on servers located in the U.S., and all information you provide will be maintained on web servers and systems located within the U.S. The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to laws of the United States. By using the Site or providing us with any information, you consent to the transfer to, and processing, usage, sharing and storage of your information in the United States and in other countries, as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
9. Links
For your convenience, the Site and this Privacy Policy may contain links to other websites. [Client] is not responsible for the privacy practices, advertising, products, services, or the content of such other websites. None of the links on the Site should be deemed to imply that LandCare Tech endorses or has any affiliation with the links. Please see our Terms of Use for more information.
10. Security
We incorporate commercially reasonable safeguards to help protect and secure your Personal Information. However, no data transmission over the Internet, mobile networks, wireless transmission, or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Site, and you provide us with your information at your own risk.
11. Your California Privacy Rights

We adopt this Policy to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”).

Request For Information, Correction, or Deletion
California consumers have the right to request, under certain circumstances, that a business that collects personal information about the consumer disclose to the consumer the information listed below for the preceding 12 months:
- The categories of Personal Information we have collected from you;
- The categories of sources from which we collected the Personal Information;

Please note that if we collected information about you for a single one-time transaction and do not keep that information in the ordinary course of business, that information will not be retained for purposes of a request under this section. In addition, if we have de-identified or anonymized data about you, we are not required to re-identify or otherwise link your identity to that data if it is not otherwise maintained that way in our records.
You also have the right to request that we correct or delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
As permitted by the CCPA/CPRA, if you request deletion of Personal Information that we have collected about you, we, our service providers, and our contractors may be unable to comply with such a request if your Personal Information is necessary to:
- Complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between us and you;
- Prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity;
- Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
- Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another Consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law;
- Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with section 1546) of Title 12 of Part 2 of the Penal Code;
- Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when our deletion of that information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement to such research, if you have provided informed consent;
- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us;
- Comply with a legal obligation; or
- Otherwise use your Personal Information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
As a California resident, you also have the right, at any time, to tell us not to sell Personal Information – this is called the “right to opt-out” of the sale of Personal Information. We do not sell your Personal Information at this time.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information
California consumers have the right to limit the use of each type of Sensitive Personal Information (“SPI”) for each purpose with each type of third-party partner. Consumers can revoke this permission at any time. Please note that LandCare Tech only keeps SPI for the transaction for which it is required. We do not provide your Sensitive Personal Information to any third parties other than those service providers that are necessary for us to provide our Services to our employees. We do not share your SPI for cross-contextual behavioral advertising or for the purpose of inferring characteristics about you.
Right not to be Discriminated Against
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA or CPRA. Unless permitted by California law, we will not:

- Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or
- Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
However, as permitted by California law, we may offer you certain financial incentives that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to the value of your Personal Information, for instance, if you sign up for a newsletter with us, we may provide you with discounts for future products or Services. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
Third Party Marketing
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us a list of what personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year and the names and addresses of those third parties.
