Privacy Policy

We value your privacy at Distributed Data Ecosystem

Effective Date: January 15, 2025 | Last Updated: January 15, 2025

Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide

When you reach out to us for corporate flower arrangements or gift services, we gather details you knowingly share. This includes your name, company name, email address, phone number, delivery addresses, and specific floral requirements. We also collect payment information when placing orders, though it is processed securely via our payment partners.

For our corporate clients, we may obtain additional business details such as company registration data, preferred delivery times, and budget guidelines to help us tailor our service to your enterprise needs.

Information Collected Automatically

Our site automatically gathers certain technical data when you visit. This includes your IP address, browser type, device details, and how you navigate our site. We use this information to enhance site performance and understand how clients discover our services.

Important: We do not collect more personal data than is necessary to provide our floral arrangements and delivery services. Your privacy is fundamental to our business operations.

How We Use Your Information

We primarily utilize your personal information to fulfill floral orders and deliver excellent customer support. 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 schedules
  • Providing customer support and responding to inquiries
  • Enhancing our services based on your feedback and preferences
  • Sending relevant updates about our services (with your consent)
  • Maintaining records for business and legal compliance

We also use aggregated, non-personal data to gain insights into market trends and improve our operations. For example, we might analyze which types of arrangements are most popular in different seasons to better prepare inventory.

Marketing Communications

With your explicit consent, we may send information about seasonal offerings, special promotions, or new services that could interest your business. You can opt out of these messages 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 needed to provide our services or to comply with legal requirements.

Service Providers

We collaborate with trusted service providers who assist us in delivering our services. This includes payment processors, delivery partners, and flower suppliers. These partners are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it solely for the services they provide to us.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by United States law, court orders, or government regulations. This includes compliance with GST regulations, business licensing requirements, and other legal obligations relevant to our operations in New York and across United States.

Our Commitment: We will never share your personal information for commercial gain. Any sharing is strictly limited to delivering better service or meeting legal obligations.

Data Security and Protection

We treat data security with utmost seriousness and implement multiple protection layers. Our systems employ encryption for sensitive data transmission, secure servers for storage, and regular security updates to guard against threats.

Physical security measures shield 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 Security

Payment details are processed through secure, encrypted systems that meet industry standards. We do not store full credit card numbers on our systems—this information is handled by certified payment processors who specialize in secure financial transactions.

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

Your Rights and Choices

You have several rights regarding your personal information. You can request to see what data we hold, ask us to correct inaccuracies, or request deletion of your information when 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
Data Retention

We keep your information only for as long as necessary for business purposes and legal requirements. Order records are typically 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 retained longer if required by United States business laws or for legitimate interests like preventing fraud.

Essential cookies are necessary for proper site functionality—they enable basic navigation and access to secure areas. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and are enabled automatically when you use our site.

Analytics and Performance

We employ analytics cookies to see how visitors interact with our site. This helps us identify popular content, optimize page performance, and improve user experience. This data is collected in aggregate form and does not identify individuals.

Business Transfers and Changes

If Distributed Data Ecosystem undergoes major business changes such as mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you of such changes and ensure your data remains protected under privacy standards that align with this policy.

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

Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. When substantial changes occur, we will inform you via email or by posting a notice on our website before they take effect.

Minor updates for clarity or administrative adjustments may be made without prior notice. We encourage you to review this policy from time to time to stay informed about how we safeguard your privacy.

Continued Use: By continuing to use our services after policy updates take effect, you agree to the revised terms. If you disagree with changes, you may stop using our services and request data deletion where applicable.

Children's Privacy

Our services are designed for businesses and adult consumers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18. If we learn that we’ve inadvertently collected data from someone under 18, we will promptly delete that information from our systems.

Parents or guardians who believe we may have collected their child’s information can contact us using the details below, and we will address the matter immediately.

International Data Considerations

Our primary operations are based in United States, and data is stored and processed within United States jurisdiction. However, some service providers may process data internationally. When this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

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