At Lost Dutchman, Inc. (“The Ganja,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we’re committed to protecting your privacy and the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit theganja.life (the “Site”) or make a purchase from us.

3) Protection of Your Information
- We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the data.
- Sensitive data in transit (like checkout info) is protected via SSL/TLS. Payment details are processed by PCI-compliant processors (e.g., Shopify Payments/PayPal) and are not stored by us in full.
We cannot guarantee 100% security of data transmitted online, but we work to protect it.
4) Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to:
- Keep your session, cart, and preferences.

Your choices:
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies; doing so may impact site features (e.g., cart, checkout). See your browser’s help settings for controls.
5) Tools & Services We Use
To enhance shopping and support, we may use third-party tools for:
- Store & checkout: Shopify (hosting, order management, payments).
- Analytics/performance: tools that capture non-sensitive usage data (e.g., pages visited, links clicked, device/browser type).
- On-site chat or guided shopping / abandoned cart reminders (e.g., Gobot or similar) which may automatically collect device info, usage patterns, and cookie data to help us assist you.
Each provider processes data under its own privacy policy as a service provider to us. Where applicable, you can opt out of marketing messages (see Section 7) and adjust cookie settings in your browser.
6) Email & SMS Marketing (If You Opt In)

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers/Processors (e.g., Shopify, payment processors, shipping carriers, analytics, messaging tools) who process data for us under contract.
- Legal and safety: to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, enforce our policies, or protect rights, property, and safety.
