Manolin ("us", "we", or "our") operates the manolinaqua.com website (hereinafter referred to as the '"Service"'). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, the terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, accessible from manolinaqua.com.
The Manolin Network
When we say the “Manolin Network” we mean our anonymized and aggregated data analytics platform that enables the aquaculture industry to make better decisions. The Manolin Network also provides business specific tools that allow farmers and the supporting industry to put their own data to use in managing their business operations. Depending on the context of your interactions with the Manolin Network, the Data you choose to share with us, or bring over from third parties (such as an inventory system), may be used together and not just within the individual Service(s) you are using.

Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.
You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
