Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 21, 2026

Adult-use notice: This site provides information for adults 21+ in legal states. Always check your local laws. We do not sell cannabis products.

Cannabis Daily Guide (“we”, “our”, “the site”) respects the privacy of every visitor to cannabisdailyguide.com. This notice explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and the rights you have under US federal and state law — including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and comparable statutes in Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, and elsewhere.

Data Controller

The operator of this site is Marcus Chen, publishing as Cannabis Daily Guide from Denver, Colorado. For any privacy-related request you can reach us at contact@cannabisdailyguide.com.

What We Collect

Information you provide — your name, email address, message content when you fill in the contact form, subscribe to the newsletter, or leave a comment. If you pitch a story or tip, whatever you share with us.
Information collected automatically — IP address, approximate geolocation (state-level, used for age-gating and compliance), browser and device data, referring URL, pages viewed, and time on page. We also use age-verification cookies in certain jurisdictions.

Why We Collect It

Data is used to respond to your messages, send our newsletter if you’ve opted in, age-gate cannabis content where the law requires, detect spam and abuse, understand which stories matter to our audience, and meet any compliance or record-keeping requirement under applicable law.

Legal Basis & Consumer Rights

Where applicable, we process data on the basis of your consent (newsletter, non-essential cookies), our legitimate business interests (site security, analytics, responding to enquiries), and legal obligation (age verification, record-keeping). California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and several other state residents have specific rights to access, delete, correct, or opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. We do not sell personal information.

Cookies & Tracking

We use a limited set of cookies. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site functioning and age-gates working. Analytics cookies (from tools such as Google Analytics or a privacy-focused alternative) help us understand which articles are useful. Some embedded content — YouTube videos, social media embeds — sets its own cookies. You can disable non-essential cookies through our consent banner or your browser.

Third Parties

We share data with service providers who make this site run: our cloud infrastructure provider, email delivery platform, analytics tool, and anti-spam services. Each is bound by contractual privacy obligations. We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share your email with advertisers.

Advertising & Sponsored Content

Sponsored articles and banners are always disclosed. Advertisers do not receive personal data from us — only aggregate, anonymised engagement reporting.

Data Retention

Contact messages are kept for up to 24 months. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Aggregated analytics data is retained for up to 26 months, after which it is anonymised or deleted.

Your Rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, request correction or deletion, opt out of certain processing, and receive a portable copy of your data. To make a verifiable consumer request, email contact@cannabisdailyguide.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. We’ll respond within 45 days, extendable once where legally permitted.

Children’s Privacy

This site is strictly for adults 21 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, and any content that could attract minors is either age-gated or geo-gated. If you believe a minor has submitted data, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use HTTPS across the site, keep our infrastructure patched, and limit who has access to the back end. No online platform can guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.

Policy Updates

We’ll post any material change to this policy at the top of this page. Significant changes will also be mentioned in the newsletter.
