Security & Privacy
Welcome to www.Orchidsflorist.com(the "Site"), a website provided by Orchid's
Florist Private Limited ("we", "us" or "our"). We want you to feel comfortable
using the Site, so we have created this Privacy Policy to let you know what
information we may collect from you on the Site and how we may use that
information. Please take a moment to review the terms of our Privacy Policy. By
using the Site, you agree to accept the terms of our Privacy Policy. If you do
not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site. This
policy is effective as of March 1, 2008.
Aggregate Information We Collect From
time to time, we also may collect general, non-personal, statistical information
about the use of the Site, such as visitors' IP addresses, how many visitors
visit a specific page on the Site, how long visitors stay on that page, and
which hyperlinks, if any, visitors "click" on. We collect this information in
order to determine which areas of the Site are most popular and to enhance the
Site for visitors. We may also group this information into aggregate visitor
data in order to describe the use of the Site to our existing or potential
business partners, sponsors, advertisers or other third parties, or in response
to a government request. However, please be assured that this aggregate data
will in no way personally identify you or any other visitors to the Site. An IP
address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever
you're surfing the Web, and can be used to identify your computer. However, when
we collect IP addresses, we do so only in an aggregate fashion and not in a way
that will identify you personally.
Personally Identifying Information We
Collect In order to access certain information and features contained
on the Site, we may require you to register for an account on the Site or
otherwise provide us with personally identifying information ("PII"). The
categories of PII we collect may include, without limitation, your first and
last name, email address, mailing address, phone and fax numbers, and general
information about you. We may also collect any other information you provide us
voluntarily or through your electronic communications with us. We collect PII in
order to fulfill our services to you and to ensure compliance with our policies
and applicable law. We also may use your PII to process requested transactions,
customize the services we provide to you and send you periodic communications by
email or regular mail. For example, we may ask for your feedback regarding the
Site or provide you with promotional or other special offers.
Disclosure of Personally Identifying
Information We may sometimes disclose your PII to our third-party
business partners in order to allow them to perform certain services for us,
such as, for example, delivering our products, sending postal mail and providing
marketing assistance and data analysis. We may also share your PII with other
selected companies from time to time. In addition, we may sometimes share your
PII with other companies within our family of companies, and they may send you
periodic communications that we believe will be of interest to you. If you
prefer not to receive such communications from us, you can email us to request
removal from our list. As we develop, we may buy other businesses or their
assets or sell our business assets. Customer information is generally one of the
business assets involved in such transactions. Thus, in the event that we or all
of our assets are acquired, customer information would be one of the transferred
assets. Finally, we reserve the right to disclose visitor information to
applicable authorities in special cases when we have reason to believe that
disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal
action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either
intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other visitors, or
anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. This includes our right to
exchange information with other organizations in order to protect against fraud
and to reduce credit risk. We also reserve the right to disclose visitor
information to applicable authorities when we believe in good faith that the law
requires it.
Cookies are pieces of information that a
website transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes.
Cookies make web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you're
at the Site. We never save credit card information in cookies. The use of
cookies is an industry standard -- you'll find them at most websites. By showing
how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help us see which areas are popular
and which are not. Information such as the total number of visitors and pages
viewed is most easily tracked with cookies. We may use the information from
cookies to make improvements and updates to the Site and to tailor our services
to our visitors' needs. You always have the option of disabling cookies using
your browser preferences. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies.
You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is
being sent. However, please be aware that some features of the Site may not
function properly or may be slower if you refuse cookies. You may occasionally
get cookies from our advertisers. We do not control these cookies. The use of
advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is common in the Internet
industry.
Links to Other Sites; “Public” Areas
Please be aware that when you are on the Site, you could be directed to other
sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from the
Site's pages that take you outside our Site. These other sites may send their
own cookies to visitors collect data or solicit personal information. The
privacy policies of these other sites may be significantly different from this
Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these other
sites and cannot guarantee the security of any of your personal information
collected there.
Security Protecting the security of your
personal information is very important to us. If you register with us, your
online account information is protected by a password chosen by you. Access to
that online account requires your username and password. We recommend that you
do not disclose your username and password to any other person. When you
transmit PII from your PC to our servers, your information also is protected by
both a “firewall” intrusion detection system (a combination of computer hardware
and software that helps keep unauthorized visitors from accessing information
within our computer network) and, in certain circumstances, industry standard
SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. Once we receive your transmission, we will
take reasonable precautions to ensure its security on our systems using
physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot
guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to
us online and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent
disclosure of your personal information.
Privacy Policy for Minors We do not
knowingly collect information from minors. If you are under 18, please do not
provide any personal information to us.
Changes to These Terms The terms of this
Privacy Policy may change from time to time without prior notice to you, so
please check this page periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the
Site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those
changes.
