At Harvest-N-Hive Market, LLC, we connect local shoppers with small producers, makers, artisans, and farmers. We value your trust, and this Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website, purchase products, or register as a vendor.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide a smooth, secure marketplace experience for both buyers and sellers.
- For Shoppers/Visitors: When you browse our site, create an account, or buy from a vendor, we collect your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, and account credentials.
- For Vendors: In addition to standard customer information, when you apply to become a merchant, we collect your business name, phone number, store banner, tax documentation/business details (where legally required), and payout information to distribute your earnings.
- Automated Data: We automatically collect standard technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, and how you interact with our pages, to optimize your browsing experience.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information strictly to keep the market running efficiently:
- To process orders, arrange booth rentals, and facilitate direct sales between shoppers and vendors.
- To send transactional notifications (order confirmations, delivery tracking, and vendor approval updates).
- To distribute financial payouts securely to our approved market vendors.
- To comply with state and federal laws, including agricultural and tax reporting compliance.
3. How Information is Shared Within the Marketplace
Because Harvest-N-Hive is a multi-vendor platform, data must be shared safely to fulfill transactions:
- Sharing with Vendors: When a shopper purchases an item, the specific vendor who crafted that product receives the buyer’s name and shipping details to fulfill the order. Vendors are strictly prohibited from using this information for unsolicited marketing outside of Harvest-N-Hive.
- Third-Party Processors: We secure your payment information using trusted, industry-standard third-party payment gateways (like Stripe or PayPal). Harvest-N-Hive never retains or sees your raw credit card numbers.
4. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies to keep you logged in, remember items in your shopping flow, and understand how visitors use our informational pages (like our “Market Info” guide). You can control your cookie preferences directly through your web browser settings.
5. Your Rights and Control
You own your data. At any time, you can log into your My Account or Vendor Dashboard hub to view, edit, or update your personal details. If you ever wish to have your account or data permanently deleted from our system, simply contact us at the email listed below.
