Information We Collect

When you reach out to us for corporate floral arrangements or gift services, we gather information you choose to share. This includes your name, company 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 processing is securely handled by our payment partners.

For our corporate clients, we may obtain additional business information such as company registration details, preferred delivery timelines, and budget parameters. This helps us deliver a service tailored to your business needs.

Our site automatically gathers certain technical data when you browse. This includes your IP address, browser type, device details, and navigation patterns. We use this information to enhance site performance and understand how clients find our offerings.

How We Use Your Information

We primarily use your personal information to fulfill floral orders and deliver exceptional service. This includes processing orders, coordinating deliveries, sending order confirmations, and following up to ensure satisfaction with our service.

• Processing and fulfilling your flower orders and gift arrangements
• Communicating about order status and delivery timing
• Providing customer support and responding to inquiries
• Improving 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-identifying data to analyze market trends and optimize our operations. For example, we may examine which types of arrangements are most popular in various seasons to better manage inventory.

With your explicit consent, we may share 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 using 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 remains within our business ecosystem, 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 floral suppliers. These partners are contractually obligated 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 applicable to our operations in London and across United Kingdom.

Data Security and Protection

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

Physical security measures protect our office systems, and access to personal information is limited 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 channels that meet industry standards. We do not store full credit card numbers on our systems—this data is handled by certified payment processors who specialize in secure financial transactions.

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

Your Rights and Choices

You have several rights regarding your personal information. You can request access to the data we hold, ask for corrections to inaccurate information, or request deletion of your data when 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 details about how your data has been shared
• File complaints about our privacy practices

We retain your information only as long as needed for business purposes and legal requirements. Order records are kept for accounting and warranty purposes, while marketing preferences remain 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 such as fraud prevention.

Business Transfers and Changes

If BrightOceanNetwork undergoes significant business changes such as mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We would notify you of any such changes and ensure your data remains protected under privacy standards consistent with this policy.

In the unlikely event that we cease operations, we would ensure your personal information is either securely transferred to a successor business (with appropriate privacy protections) or securely deleted according to data protection best practices.

We comply with United Kingdom data protection regulations, including those related to business operations, financial transactions, and customer data handling. Our practices align with evolving privacy standards in United Kingdom's digital economy.
