FLORACRAFT ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY
Updated and effective November 15, 2024
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies when you access, visit, or use any of the websites, mobile applications, features, widgets, or other online services that are owned and operated by FloraCraft or its affiliates or subsidiaries (“FloraCraft,” “we”, “us” or “our”) and that include a link to this Privacy Policy (each, a “Site” and collectively, “Sites”) and to information collected offline by FloraCraft. By accessing, visiting, using, or submitting information to any Site or providing information to us offline, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy, as updated from time to time. Your continued use of this Website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy from time to time for updates. Please review our Terms of Use, which also applies to your use of any Site.
- General Audience Site
The Sites are intended for a general audience and are not intended for use by or targeted to children younger than the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children younger than the age of 16. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child younger than age 16 and believe that we have collected personal information from your child, please contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.
- Information Collected by FloraCraft.
- Information You Directly and Voluntarily Provide: We may collect information from you through various features when you visit one of our Sites or interact with us offline. Some of this information may be considered “personal information” or “personally identifiable information” under various applicable laws. We consider information that identifies you as a specific, identified individual (such as your name, phone number, and email address) to be “Personal Information.” To the extent an applicable law, rule, or regulation requires us to do so, we will also treat information, such as IP addresses and cookie identifiers, as “personal information.” Some of the information that we may collect from you, and the features through which we may collect that information, include:
- Contact Us. We collect your name, email address, other contact information and any additional personal information that you provide when you communicate with us through a Site, such as through the “Contact Us” feature.
- User Content and Submission and Social Media Features. We collect the personal information that you provide when you submit User Content or participate in Submission Features or Social Media Features.
We may take your personal information and de-identify it so as to make it non-personally identifiable, either by combining it with information about other individuals and/or by hashing the information (i.e., converting it into an alphanumeric code that does not identify you directly) or otherwise removing characteristics that make the information personally identifiable directly to you. We will treat de-identified information as non-personal to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. We may also collect other information that is not personal information, such as demographic information (i.e., age and gender) and information regarding use of a Site. (We will treat this information as personal information only where required by applicable law.)
- Information that We Automatically Collect:
We or our service providers collect certain information whenever you access or interact with a Site (“Usage Information”) using a variety of tracking and other technologies, such as cookies, local storage, web beacons, embedded scripts, and location data services. These tracking technologies may transfer a unique identifier for your device to a browser, place a cookie on your device, temporarily download code to your device, or use other means to track your access or interactions. Unless stated otherwise, Usage Information does not include Personal Information.
If you disable cookies, adjust privacy settings on your device, restrict local storage, or otherwise limit these technologies, you may not be able to use some Site features.
We use these technologies for many purposes, including to make your use of a Site more convenient and to track total visitors on an aggregate basis. The information we collect may include (but is not limited to):
- Date and time of your visit to a Site.
- Areas you visit within a Site.
- Links that you click on within a Site.
- Websites or advertisements you visit before or after visiting a Site.
- Terms you entered into a search engine that lead you to a Site.
- IP address, mobile device identifier, or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) and other Usage Information for the device used to access a Site.
- Precise location data from your device, if you have opted-in to the collection of that information. (You may be able to disable the collection of precise location data through the settings on the device used to access a Site, but your approximate location may remain available through its IP address or other information that we collect.)
- Device and connection information, such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform.
- Whether an email message we sent was opened and whether a link in the email message was clicked.
- “Do Not Track” Requests: Some browsers can be set to send a “Do Not Track” request that requests that a website not track the visitor’s activity. Currently, our Sites do not stop tracking in response to those requests except as specifically required by law.
- Information Third Parties Provide: We may receive information about you from third parties and we may supplement that information with the information we collect to respond to your requests, tailor content, offer you products or services that we believe may interest you, and for other purposes.
- Third-Party Analytics Providers, Ad Servers, and Similar Third Parties.FloraCraft works with service providers, such as analytics companies, network advertisers, agencies, and others who provide us with information about the Sites, Site users, and our advertisements, and who serve our advertisements elsewhere. We and our service providers collect certain information about your visits to and activity on our Sites and other websites and services and may use this information to target advertising to you and others and to assess the effectiveness of our advertising. We may share (or permit them to collect) certain information, such as Usage Information and de-identified information, with these service providers for similar purposes.
These service providers use their own tracking technologies and may collect or have access to your personal information over time and across websites.
We also use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and other technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the Sites and provide other reports. This service may also collect information regarding your use of other websites, apps, and online resources. For information about opting out from Google, click here for information about opting out from Google, and to download the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on from Google, click here to download the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on from Google.
Opting out through these mechanisms does not block all online advertising; you will continue to receive generic advertisements.
- User Content and Submission Features. A Site may permit you to submit or post photos, audio, video, text, files, social media posts, or other content (“User Content”) through interactive or other features, such as product reviews, discussion forums, blog comments, gallery posts, or promotional activities (“Submission Features”). Your submission of User Content is subject to Terms of Use for the Site (including the User Content and Acceptable Use terms) which give us the right to use your User Content, online or offline, in connection with our promotional activities. Personal information, such as your name, user name (from a Site or your social media account), or where you reside, may be publicly displayed with your User Content. Others may access it, use it, and share it. We are not responsible for how others use User Content you submit or post. In addition, in connection with certain activities, your personal information may be disclosed publicly, for example, being identified as a winner of a sweepstakes or being awarded a prize.
Some features that allow Site users to submit User Content are operated by third parties and any content submitted through such feature may be provided directly to the third party and subject to that party’s own privacy policy, as disclosed at the time of submission.
- Social Media Features. A Site may permit you to interact with a third-party platform (such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter) and the Site, for example, “liking” or “sharing” content from a Site, posting your social media posts to a Site, including a hashtag associated with us in your social media post, or creating an account or registering with a Site using existing login information from a third-party platform (“Social Media Features”). Your use of Social Media Features is subject to the Terms of Use for the Site (including the User Content and Acceptable Use terms) which give us the right to use your interaction, online or offline, in connection with our promotional activities.
If you use Social Media Features, your interaction and personal information may be publicly disclosed on the Sites and on the third-party platform. We and the third-party platform may have access to information about you and your use of the Sites and the third-party site. If others give us access to their profile, page, or other content on a third-party platform, we may also receive information about you if it is accessible through that content.
The information we collect in connection with Social Media Features is subject to this Privacy Policy; the information the third-party platform collects is subject to the third party’s privacy practices (including whether the third party shares information with us, the types of information shared, and your choices about what is visible to others on the third-party platform).

California residents also have the right to opt-out from the sale of their Personal Information. These rights are subject to some limitations, such as when we are retaining data to comply with our own legal obligations. You will not be required to create an account with us in order to submit a request. More information on each of these rights is below.
You may authorize an agent to submit a CCPA request on your behalf. We may require proof that an agent is duly authorized to act for you. Please keep in mind that if we do not receive adequate proof that the agent is authorized to act on your behalf, we may deny the request.
Response Timing
When you request access to the Personal Information we have collected or deletion of your Personal Information, we will typically provide the requested information within 45 days, and we will notify you within that time period if we need additional time to process your request.
Right to Know
- Making A Request
To request the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you in the prior 12 months, California residents can call us toll-free at 800-334-3742 or email us at cs@floracraft.com.
We will provide the requested information free of charge up to two (2) times in a 12-month period, but please note that where we receive unfounded, excessive, or repetitive requests, we may elect to decline the request. Note also that we will not retain information we do not ordinarily retain in the course of our regular business practices.
- Verifying Requests to Access
Please note that we will take steps to verify your identity in order to fulfill your request, which may include requiring you to provide additional information for verification purposes and to submit a signed declaration under penalty of perjury.
If we are unable to verify that the individual submitting the request is the same individual about whom we have collected information (or someone authorized by that individual to act on their behalf), we will not be able to provide the requested information.
Right to Delete
The CCPA also provides a right to request that we delete Personal Information we have collected about you and for us to direct service providers to do the same, with certain exceptions as set forth in the CCPA.
When processing a request to delete, we may erase some information and we may de-identify some information. (When we de-identify information, we implement technical safeguards and business processes that prohibit re-identification, implement business processes to prevent inadvertent release of de-identified information, and will make no attempt to re-identify the information.)

As indicated above, we may allow third-party advertising companies to collect data from visitors to our Sites, including to better serve you more relevant advertisements.

FloraCraft and its Affiliates defined below (collectively, “FloraCraft,” “we,” “our,” and “us”) comply with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the United States Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of Personal Data (defined below) from member states of the European Union (“EU”), European Economic Area (“EEA”), and Switzerland. We have certified to the Department of Commerce that we adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles, which we summarize below in this Policy. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program and view our certification (which is in the process of being published on the Department of Commerce website), please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.
Definitions
For purposes of this Privacy Shield Policy:
“Affiliates” means: FloraCraft Corporation
“Data Subject” means an individual to whom any Personal Data covered by this Privacy Shield Policy refers.
“Personal Data” and “personal information” mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable person residing in the EEA or Switzerland.
“Sensitive Personal Data” means Personal Data regarding an individual's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, physical or mental health, or sexual life.
“Controller” means a person or organization that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data.
Scope and Responsibilities
This Privacy Shield Policy applies to Personal Data transferred from within the EEA and Switzerland to our operations in the U.S. in reliance on the respective Privacy Shield framework and does not apply to Personal Data otherwise transferred under Standard Contractual Clauses or an approved derogation under the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Our employees who have access in the U.S. to Personal Data covered by this Privacy Shield Policy are responsible for handling Personal Data in a manner consistent with this Privacy Shield Policy. Employees responsible for engaging third parties to handle Personal Data covered by this Privacy Shield Policy are responsible for obtaining appropriate contractual or other assurances that the Personal Data will be handled in a manner consistent with the Privacy Shield Principles.
Our adherence to this Privacy Shield Policy may be limited to the extent required to meet legal, regulatory, governmental, or national security obligations.
Privacy Shield Principles
We commit to process all Personal Data received in the U.S. subject to the EU-U.S. or Switzerland-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks in conformance with the following principles:
- Notice
Our Privacy Shield certification will be published at https://www.privacyshield.gov/. Our general privacy policy is found https://www.floracraft.com/privacy-policy/ , explaining the types of Personal Data we collect and for what purposes, the categories of third parties with which we share data and for what purposes, the rights of Data Subjects to access and correct their Personal Data and exercise choices over its use and disclosure, and how to contact us with questions or complaints. That privacy policy also covers Personal Data submitted by applicants who apply for employment positions through our floracraft.com website.
Our employee privacy policy is distributed to our employees, independent contractors, and temporary workers. It describes the types of Personal Data we routinely collect and for what purposes, the categories of third parties with which we share data and for what purposes, the rights of Data Subjects to access and correct their Personal Data and exercise choices over its use and disclosure, and how to contact us with questions or complaints. The same kinds of information are provided in privacy notices furnished in specific contexts, such as applications for employment and optional benefits or training programs.
- Choice
Apart from fulfilling our legal obligations and engaging agents to perform tasks on our behalf, we will inform you if we share Personal Data with a third party or use it for a new purpose materially different from the purpose for which we originally collected it or that you have already authorized or subsequently authorize. We will give you a choice of opting out of that sharing or new use. However, if the sharing or new use involves Sensitive Personal Data, we will not proceed unless you explicitly consent or “opt-in.”
- Accountability for Onward Transfer
If we transfer Personal Data covered by this Privacy Shield Policy to a third party acting as a Controller, we will do so consistent with any notice provided to Data Subjects and any consent they have given, and only under a contract with the third party providing that it will: (a) process the Personal Data for limited and specified purposes consistent with the consent provided by the Data Subject, (b) provide the same level of protection required by Privacy Shield Principles and notify us if it determines that it can no longer meet this obligation; and (c) if it determines that it can no longer meet this obligation, cease processing the Personal Data or take other reasonable and appropriate steps to remediate.
When we transfer Personal Data to a third party acting as our agent rather than as a Controller, we will: (a) permit the agent to process the Personal Data only for limited and specified purposes; (b) require the agent to provide the same level of privacy protection required by the Privacy Shield Principles; (c) take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that the agent effectively processes the Personal Data in a manner consistent with our obligations under Privacy Shield Principles; (d) require the agent to notify us if it determines that it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection required by the Privacy Shield Principles. On notice from an agent that it has made such a determination, we will take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate unauthorized processing.
We remain liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if an agent processes Personal Data covered by this Privacy Shield Policy in a manner inconsistent with Privacy Shield Principles, except where we can establish that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
- Security
We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect Personal Data covered by this Privacy Shield Policy from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into due account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the Personal Data.
- Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation
We limit the collection of Personal Data covered by this Privacy Shield Policy to information that is relevant for the purposes of processing, as described in our general or specific privacy notices. We do not process Personal Data in a way that is incompatible with the purposes for which it was collected or that were subsequently authorized by the Data Subject.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that such Personal Data is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current. We take reasonable and appropriate measures to comply with the requirement under Privacy Shield Principles to retain Personal Data in identifiable form only for as long as it serves a purpose of processing, which includes our obligations to comply with legal requirements and professional accounting and audit standards, and for longer periods in the event of legal or insurance claims or regulatory proceedings. We adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles for as long as we retain such Personal Data.
