5. Data Security and Retention

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access. Payment transactions are encrypted, and access to sensitive information is restricted to authorized personnel.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide services, fulfill memberships, complete research, and remain compliant with legal requirements.

6. Your Rights and Choices

• Access and Update Information: Members may log in to their accounts to update or correct their personal information.
• Opt-Out of Communications: You may unsubscribe from newsletters and communications at any time by following the “unsubscribe” link provided in each email.
• Data Deletion: Members have the right to request deletion of personal information, subject to our legal obligations for data retention.

7. Special Considerations for Membership Categories

a. Sponsor, Vendor, and Community Leader Memberships:

• Sponsors and vendors are responsible for their own products and services offered at events and must maintain proper liability insurance. Vendors are required to comply with local and state laws.
• Community Leader Members may be required to sign NDAs when contributing to internal research initiatives.

b. After-Hours Memberships:

• After-hours membership does not grant access to all private events; access to some events is reserved and subject to availability or third-party bookings. Members attending after-hours events must sign waivers to release The Cannabis Chamber of Commerce International from liability related to impaired judgment or accidents.

c. Felony Expungement and Rehabilitation:

• Individuals participating in our felony expungement services agree that personal information, including volunteer records, may be shared with legal representatives for the purposes of expungement applications.

8. Vendors and Their Responsibilities

Vendors are solely responsible for ensuring that their products meet all regulatory requirements. The Cannabis Chamber of Commerce International does not bear liability for any vendor goods or services provided at our events. This includes compliance with California health and safety regulations, proper labeling, and any necessary permits such as food handler permits.

For details on vendor compliance, please refer to:

• California Bureau of Cannabis Control
• California Health and Safety Code

9. Legal Disclaimers and Liability Waivers

• Event Liability: We are not responsible for accidents or issues occurring outside of our venue, including lost or stolen property. Attendees are urged to secure their belongings and exercise caution.
• Consumption Responsibility: Members are expected to consume responsibly, in compliance with state laws. We do not accept liability for any incidents involving impaired driving after event participation. Attendees are advised to arrange for transportation if needed.
• NDAs: All members participating in research, after-hours access, or sensitive activities must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement, acknowledging the proprietary nature of the data and initiatives.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our services are intended for adults over the age of 21. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, we will take steps to delete that information.

11. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our services, legal obligations, or company practices. We will notify you via email or website notification of any significant updates.
