First, we have to process all Members’ and buyers’ personal information in certain ways to be able to provide our Services, in accordance with our Terms of Use (for example, giving a Member your shipping address so that they can send you the item you purchased). Second, with your valid consent to use your data, we will rely on your consent. Third, we may process your information where necessary to further Farmer’s Egg’s legitimate interests, where those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests.

For example, we may learn the sorts of products that you’re interested in from your browsing and purchasing behavior and, in turn, suggest to you potential purchases. Similarly, we, or our Members, may advertise our Services or our Members’ products through a variety of different mediums. As part of this, we may work with advertising partners such as Facebook or Google.
As part of the buying and selling process, Farmer’s Egg will facilitate the sharing of information between the buyer and Member involved in the transaction, such as the other Farmer’s Egg Member’s email address, shipping address, and payment information. By making a sale or a purchase on www.farmersegg.com, you expressly authorize us to share your information. Farmer’s Egg requires you to respect the privacy of the buyer or Member whose information you have received. As detailed in Farmer’s Egg’s Terms of Use, you have a limited license to use that information only for Farmer’s Egg-related communications or for Farmer’s Egg-facilitated transactions. You may not use such information for unsolicited commercial messages or unauthorized transactions. You may not add any Farmer’s Egg buyer or Member to your email or physical mailing list or otherwise use or store any Member’s or buyer’s personal information, without express consent from that person. You must comply with all relevant legal rules when you use the Services, including applicable data protection and privacy laws, which govern the ways in which you can use another Farmer’s Egg buyer’s or Member’s information.

When an affiliated business assists in facilitating your transaction, we may need to share information related to the transaction with that affiliated business to facilitate your transaction.
Farmer’s Egg may share demographic information with business partners, but it will always be aggregated and de-personalized, so that personally-identifiable information is not revealed.
