Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site and Service, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Site and Service. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.

Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer.

Use of Your Crop Water Data

Crop Water Data we collect is primarily used to provide information and reports to users of our Service. Crop Water Data is also used by FloraPulse personnel to answer questions that customers may have about their account and to develop and improve our products. FloraPulse may also aggregate Crop Water Data across multiple properties and accounts, and use this data to create and publish industry benchmarks or comparative application performance metrics, to show water usage trends in certain geographical locations, and for research and other purposes. You expressly consent to the sharing of your Crop Water Data as described in this Policy.

Security of My Personal Data and Crop Water Data

We have implemented commercially reasonable precautions, including, where appropriate, password protection, encryption, SSL, firewalls and internal restrictions on who may access data to protect the Personal Data and Crop Water Data information we collect from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Please be aware that despite our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security.

You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your accounts and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

What Choices Do I Have Regarding Use of My Personal Data?

We may send periodic promotional or informational emails to you. You may opt-out of such communications by following the opt-out instructions contained in the email. We will process opt-out requests as soon as reasonably practicable.
