Privacy Policy

Effective September 17, 2026

Smoke Theory (“Smoke Theory,” “we,” “us”) is a platform operated by Stealth Grp LLC that cannabis brands use to run feedback and rewards programs for the retail staff who sell their products. This policy explains what we collect when you use Smoke Theory or a brand program built on it (for example, the Blueprint Redline Program), how we use it, and the choices you have.

Who is collecting your data

Two parties handle your information. Smoke Theory operates the platform and stores your account. The brand whose program you join (the “Brand”) administers that program, sees the information you submit to it, approves your membership, and decides on rewards. Each Brand is independently responsible for how it uses program data under its own policies.

What we collect

  • Account details: name, email address, password (stored hashed), and optionally your phone number.
  • Work details: the dispensary or store you work at, its state, and the join code you entered.
  • Program activity: strain and product reviews, ratings, keep/drop votes, sample requests, leaderboard standings, and rewards earned.
  • Age confirmation: your confirmation that you are 21 or older, kept in your browser so you are not asked again for 30 days.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser and device type, and basic usage logs collected automatically by our hosting and authentication providers to keep the service secure and working.

We do not collect government ID numbers, payment card numbers, or precise geolocation.

How we use it

  • To create and secure your account and sign you in, including inside a Brand’s website where Smoke Theory is embedded.
  • To run the program: route your reviews to the Brand, rank leaderboards, track samples and rewards, and let the Brand approve or manage members.
  • To contact you about the program you joined (approval status, rewards, program updates). We do not send third-party marketing.
  • To keep the platform safe, prevent abuse, and comply with law, including age-verification obligations.
  • In aggregated or de-identified form, to understand product demand and improve the platform.

Who we share it with

  • The Brand whose program you join, which can see your profile, store, state, and everything you submit to its program.
  • Service providers that host and run the platform (currently Supabase for database and authentication, and Vercel for hosting). They process data on our behalf under their own security commitments.
  • Legal: when required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights and safety of users, Brands, or Smoke Theory.

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it with data brokers or advertisers. Your reviews may be shown to other members of the same program on leaderboards, typically with your name and store.

Age requirement

Smoke Theory and every program on it are for adults 21 years of age or older who work in, or are otherwise authorized to participate in, the licensed cannabis industry. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 21. If you believe someone under 21 has created an account, contact us and we will remove it.

Retention

We keep your account and program activity for as long as your membership is active and for a reasonable period afterwards so Brands can honor rewards and maintain program records. You can ask us to delete your account at any time; we will remove or de-identify your personal information except where we must keep it for legal or security reasons.

Your choices and rights

  • You can view and update your profile from your account page.
  • You can ask us to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information by emailing stephen@stealthgrp.com.
  • You can leave a program at any time; the Brand may keep de-identified review data.

California residents: under the CCPA/CPRA you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, to request deletion, to correct inaccurate information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Submit requests to the email above; we may need to verify your identity before responding.

Cookies and local storage

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and browser local storage to remember your age confirmation. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. When Smoke Theory is embedded on a Brand’s website, that website’s own cookie practices also apply.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit, passwords are hashed, and access to program data is restricted by role so a Brand can only see its own program. No system is perfectly secure; if we learn of a breach affecting your data we will notify you as required by law.

Changes

We may update this policy as the platform evolves. We will post the new version here with a new effective date and, for material changes, notify you by email or in the app.
