We do not share personal information with unaffiliated third parties at this time. The following are categories of recipients with whom we might share your data.

Third-party service providers

We may use third-party service providers to process personal information on our behalf. These may include the provision of customer support, web hosting providers, customer data management and list enhancement companies, companies that fill product orders or coordinate mailings, delivery companies, payment processors, data analysis firms, and email service providers. We seek to use service providers that are able to provide appropriate data privacy and security standards.

When you share personal information

By doing so, you authorize us to facilitate this sharing of information, and you understand that the use of shared information will be governed by the social media provider’s Privacy Policy.

Business transactions, legal reasons, and law enforcement

We have a legitimate interest in disclosing or transferring your personal information to a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets, or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings). Such third parties may include, for example, an acquiring entity and its advisers.

These legal obligations and government requests can include laws and authorities outside your country of residence.

Other Information We Collect

We and our service providers also may collect other information that does not reveal your specific identity or does not directly relate to an identifiable individual (referred to as “other information”). This may include:

  • Server log files and environmental variables
  • Information collected through cookies, pixel tags, and other technologies
  • Demographic information and other information provided by you that does not reveal your specific identity
  • Information that has been aggregated in a manner such that it no longer reveals your specific identity

If we are required to treat other information as personal information under applicable law, then we may use and disclose it for the purposes for which we use and disclose personal information detailed in this Privacy Policy.

Other information may be collected in a variety of ways, including:

Through your browser or device

  • Server log files. We use W3C compliant extended log files when recording activity on our web servers, including, for example, the IP address (a number automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your internet service provider), device identifier, time and date of request, page requested, user agent, referrer, and cookie values sent or received. The server log files are collected and analyzed to provide information about user activity in the aggregate and identify potential errors or problems with website performance. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the internet and is done automatically by many websites. W3C is an international consortium that develops web standards and guidelines. Further information is available at www.w3c.org.
  • Environmental variables. We and our service providers may also collect certain environmental variables, such as your computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, OS version, device manufacturer and model, internet browser, and internet browser version. These environmental variables are collected by most browsers and can be used to optimize your experience on the website.
  • Pixel tags and other similar technologies. We and our service providers may also use so-called “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs,” or similar means (collectively, “Pixel Tags”) in connection with some website pages and HTML-formatted email messages to, among other things, compile aggregate statistics about website usage and response rates. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel (1×1) that is ordinarily not visible to website visitors and may be associated with cookies on the visitors’ hard drives. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, Pixel Tags can tell the sender whether and when the email has been opened.
  • Content you access and interact with. This is done through BloomShift websites and through cross-website tracking. We use cookies and other technologies to collect information about your device browser and operating system, IP address, links you click, and pages you open, which we then use to tailor marketing messages. We will provide personalized services either with your consent or because we have a legitimate interest.
  • Analytics. We use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of our services and report on activities and trends. Google Analytics may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps, and online resources. You can learn about Google’s practices and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
  • Physical location. We may collect the physical location of your device if you use a location-based service. Before this information is collected, you may be permitted to allow or deny such uses and/or sharing of your device’s location, but if you do, we and/or our marketing partners may not be able to provide you with the applicable personalized services and content.
  • Do not track signals. We do not currently respond to browser do-not-track signals.

Uses and Disclosures of Other Information

We may use and disclose other information for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. In some instances, we may combine other information with personal information. In those instances we will treat the combined information as personal information while it is combined.

Your Rights to Your Personal Information

You may request to access, correct, or remove your personal information. You also may request to receive an electronic copy of your personal information to transmit it to another company (to the extent this right to data portability is provided by applicable law). In each case, we may require you to prove your identity and/or provide further information in order to identify your information. We will respond to your requests consistent with applicable law.

Other Important Information

How we retain your personal information

We retain personal information for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained and consistent with applicable law. The criteria used to determine our retention periods for payment card information and age-verification information include:

  • The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide the services to you (for example, for as long as you have an account with us or keep using the services)
  • Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them)
  • Whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations)
