PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy explains how The Cut Flower Club (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and discloses personal information from users (“you”) of this website (“the Site”). It applies to the Site and to all products and services offered by The Cut Flower Club.


This notice outlines our policies regarding the collection, use, and sharing of personal data when you use our services, as well as the choices available to you in relation to your data. Your privacy is very important to us.

We use your data to operate and improve the Site and our services. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Data We Collect

While using our site, we may ask you to provide certain personal data that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Data”). Personal Data may include, but is not limited to:


  • Email address
  • First name and surname
  • Phone number
  • Address and postcode


For clients who work with the company, we may also collect further voluntary information to enable us to deliver our service in an optimised manner. Some data collected from clients may include:


  • Sensitive information
  • Goals and aspirations
  • Business details
  • Bank details


If you fail to provide personal data
Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you do not provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.


Opting out
You may ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out or unsubscribe links in any marketing communication we send.

Please note: when you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product or service purchase, warranty registration, product or service experience, or other transactions.


Information collected automatically
Like many websites, we and our service providers (such as Facebook) use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to receive and store certain types of information when you interact with us via your computer or mobile device. These technologies help us recognise you, customise your experience, and deliver relevant marketing messages.


Here are some of the types of information we may collect:

  • Log & device data: When you visit our site, we may automatically record certain information (“log data”), including what your browser sends when you visit. This may include the web address you came from or are going to, your device model, operating system, browser type, unique device identifier, IP address, mobile network provider, and time zone or location.
  • Cookie data: We may use cookies (small text files sent by your computer each time you visit our site) or similar technologies to record log data. These may include “session” cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (which remain until you or your browser delete them).


To help us make emails more useful and interesting, we may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us, if your device supports this functionality. You can opt out of receiving emails from us at any time. Please refer to the Your Choices section below.

BASICALLY...

Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share your personal data with others except as set out below or with your consent.


Third-Party Service Providers

We may share data with service providers who help us operate our business (e.g. payment processors, marketing services, customer service providers, IT infrastructure, or debt collection). These third parties may access your data only for the purposes of providing these services and are not authorised to use or disclose your data for any other reason.


Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our Site. Google Analytics may collect and use your data to personalise its advertising. You can opt out of Google Analytics using the browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. More info: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Payment Providers

We offer paid products and services. Payment details are processed by third-party providers (e.g Stripe and PayPal). We do not store your card details. These providers comply with PCI-DSS standards. Their own privacy notices govern how they use your information.


Legal Requirements

We may disclose personal data to comply with legal obligations, protect rights or safety, prevent fraud, or enforce terms of service.


Business Transfers

If we undergo a sale, merger, acquisition or insolvency, your data may be transferred to a successor or acquirer as part of that process.


External Links

We may link to external sites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please review their privacy policies before providing any data.


Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy, or to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Usage data may be retained for shorter periods unless it is required for security or functionality.


Your Rights and Choices

We aim to provide you with control over your personal data. You have the following rights:


  • Access: To request a copy of the personal data we hold.

  • Erasure: To request deletion where appropriate (e.g. no longer necessary, consent withdrawn).
  • Objection: To object to processing based on our legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
  • Restriction: To request a pause in processing (e.g. to verify accuracy).
  • Data Portability: To request transfer of your data in a machine-readable format.
  • Withdraw Consent: To withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.


You can exercise these rights by emailing us at gdpr@thecutflower.club.

We will respond within one month, or advise you if more time is needed. No fee is charged unless the request is unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.


To protect your data, we may ask for proof of identity before processing any request.


Security

We use appropriate administrative and technical measures to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.


Children

Our Site is not intended for children under 16. If you believe your child has provided personal data, please contact us.


Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect indicates your acceptance.
