Information We Collect

When you reach out to us for corporate flower arrangements or gift services, we gather information you choose to share. This includes your name, business name, email address, phone number, delivery addresses, and any specific requirements for your floral needs. We also collect payment details when you place orders, though this is processed securely through our payment partners.

For our corporate clients, we may collect additional business details such as company registration information, preferred delivery times, and budget guidelines. This helps us tailor our service to fit your business needs.

Our website automatically gathers certain technical data when you visit. This includes your IP address, browser type, device details, and how you navigate through our site. We use this data to improve site performance and understand how clients discover our services.

How We Use Your Information

We primarily use your personal information to fulfill flower orders and deliver excellent customer service. This includes processing orders, arranging deliveries, sending order confirmations, and following up to ensure you are satisfied with our service.

• Processing and fulfilling your flower orders and gift arrangements
• Communicating about order status and delivery schedules
• Providing customer support and addressing your inquiries
• Enhancing our services based on your feedback and preferences
• Sending relevant updates about our services (with your consent)
• Maintaining records for business and legal compliance purposes

We also use aggregated, non-personal information to understand market trends and improve our operations. For instance, we might analyze which types of arrangements are most popular during different seasons to better prepare our inventory.

With your explicit consent, we may send information about seasonal offerings, special promotions, or new services that could interest your business. You can opt out of these communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails or contacting us directly.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. Your data stays within our business ecosystem and is shared only when necessary to provide our services or to comply with legal obligations.

We collaborate with trusted service providers who assist us in delivering our services. This includes payment processors, delivery partners, and flower suppliers. These partners are contractually bound to protect your information and use it solely for the services they provide to us.

We may disclose your information if required by United Kingdom law, court orders, or government regulations. This includes compliance with GST regulations, business licensing requirements, and other legal obligations for our operations in London and across United Kingdom.

Data Security and Protection

We take data security seriously and employ multiple layers of protection. Our systems use encryption for sensitive data transmission, secure servers for data storage, and regular security updates to guard against threats.

Physical security measures protect our office systems, and access to personal information is restricted to employees who need it for their work. Our team receives ongoing training on privacy practices and data handling procedures.

Payment information is processed through secure, encrypted systems that meet industry standards. We do not store complete credit card numbers on our systems—this information is handled by certified payment processors who specialize in secure financial transactions.

While we implement strong security measures, no system is completely risk-free. We continuously monitor and update our security practices to address evolving threats and maintain high protection standards.

Your Rights and Choices

You have several rights regarding your personal information. You can request to view what we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate information, or request deletion of your data where permissible by law.

• Access your personal information and understand how we use it
• Request corrections to inaccurate or outdated information
• Ask us to delete your personal information (subject to business and legal requirements)
• Opt out of marketing communications while continuing to receive service-related messages
• Request information about how your data has been shared
• File complaints about our privacy practices

We retain your information only as long as necessary for business purposes and legal obligations. Order records are kept for accounting and warranty purposes, while marketing preferences are kept until you request removal.

When we no longer need your information, we securely delete or anonymize it. Some data may be retained longer if required by United Kingdom business laws or for legitimate business interests like preventing fraud.
