Privacy Policy

This page is a professionally written starting point for Bloomings. Please have it reviewed by a qualified adviser and adapt it to your company’s exact legal details before relying on it.

1. Introduction

Bloomings (“Bloomings”, “we”, “us” or “our”) connects premium flower growers with wholesalers, importers, florists and distributors, and coordinates the international logistics that bring those flowers from farm to destination. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit our website or contact us, how we use it, and the rights you have over it. It applies to bloomings.online and any related pages we operate.

2. Who we are

Bloomings is a business-to-business flower sourcing and logistics partner. For any questions about this policy or your personal data, you can reach us at hello@bloomings.online.

3. Information we collect

We only collect the information we need to respond to you and to provide our services:

• Enquiry details — when you complete our contact form, we collect your name, company, email address and the content of your message.
• Correspondence — any information you share with us by email or during our business relationship.
• Technical data — our hosting provider automatically records standard server information such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested, for security and to keep the site running.

We do not knowingly collect any special categories of personal data, and our website is intended for business users.

4. How we use your information

• To respond to your enquiries and provide quotes.
• To coordinate sourcing, orders and logistics as part of our services to you.
• To maintain our business relationship and communicate with you about your orders.
• To keep our website secure and functioning correctly.
• To comply with our legal and accounting obligations.

5. Legal basis for processing

Where the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, we rely on the following legal bases: your consent when you contact us; the performance of a contract or steps taken at your request; our legitimate interests in running and promoting our business; and compliance with legal obligations.

6. Cookies

Our website uses only the cookies strictly necessary for it to work. We do not use advertising cookies. If analytics or other non-essential cookies are added in future, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent.

7. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only where necessary:

• with trusted service providers who help us operate (for example website hosting and email providers), under appropriate confidentiality obligations;
• with growers and logistics partners strictly as needed to fulfil your orders;
• where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

8. International transfers

Because we source flowers internationally (including from Ecuador) and coordinate worldwide delivery, some information may be processed outside your country. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure it remains protected.

9. How long we keep your data

We keep enquiry and business records only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above, to maintain our relationship with you, and to meet legal, tax and accounting requirements. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

10. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to correct or delete it, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@bloomings.online. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

11. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to protect your information at all times.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Please review it periodically.

13. Contact

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, please email hello@bloomings.online.
