At Late Bloomers NYC, we are committed to protecting your privacy while complying fully with the New York State Marihuana Regulation & Taxation Act (MRTA). This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information.
1. Information Collection & Age Verification
Mandatory Age Verification: To enter our site or place an order, you must be 21+. We collect and verify your government-issued ID data (name, date of birth, and photo) solely to confirm eligibility under NYS law.
Voluntary Information: We collect personal data, such as your name, email address, and phone number, only when you provide it during sign-up for our newsletter or loyalty programs.
Automatic Collection: Like most websites, we use cookies to collect non-identifying information (IP address, browser type) to improve site performance and ensure our audience meets legal age thresholds.
