Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us at Harbor Anchor Paper
Information We Collect
When you reach out to us for corporate flower arrangements or gift services, we gather details you choose to share. This may include your name, business name, email address, phone number, delivery addresses, and specific floral requirements. We also collect payment details when placing orders, though processing is handled securely through our payment partners.
For corporate clients, we may collect additional business information such as company registration details, preferred delivery schedules, and budget considerations to help us tailor our service to your needs.
Our site automatically gathers certain technical data when you visit. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you navigate the site. We use this information to improve site performance and understand how clients discover our services.
How We Use Your Information
We primarily use your personal data to fulfill orders and provide excellent service. This includes processing orders, organizing deliveries, sending confirmations, and following up to ensure satisfaction.
- Processing and completing your orders and gift arrangements
- Communicating about order status and delivery timing
- Offering customer support and responding to inquiries
- Enhancing our services based on your feedback and preferences
- Sending relevant updates about our offerings (with your consent)
- Maintaining records for business and legal compliance
We also use aggregated, non-personal data to understand market trends and improve our operations. For example, we might analyze which types of arrangements are most popular during different seasons to better prepare our 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 stays within our business ecosystem and is shared only when necessary to deliver our services or to comply with legal requirements.
We collaborate with trusted service providers who help us deliver our services, including payment processors, delivery partners, and flower suppliers. These partners are contractually obliged to protect your information and use it only for the specific services they provide.
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 obligations relevant to our operations in London and across United Kingdom.
Data Security and Protection
We treat data security with utmost seriousness 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.
We implement physical security measures for our office systems and restrict access to personal information to staff who need it to perform their duties. Our team receives ongoing training on privacy practices and data handling procedures.
Payment information is processed through secure, encrypted systems that meet industry standards. We do not store full credit card numbers on our systems; this data is handled by certified payment processors specialized in secure financial transactions.
While we maintain strong security measures, no system is completely risk-free. We continuously monitor and update our practices to address evolving threats and uphold high protection standards.
Your Rights and Choices
You have rights regarding your personal information. You can request to view what we hold, ask for corrections to inaccurate data, or request deletion of your data where legally permissible.
- 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 information 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 obligations. Order records are kept for accounting and warranty purposes, while marketing preferences are retained until you request removal.
When we no longer need your information, we securely delete or anonymize it. Some data may be kept longer if required by United Kingdom business laws or for legitimate business interests like fraud prevention.
