Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us at VillagePulseWay

Effective Date: February 20, 2025 | Last Updated: February 20, 2025

Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide

When you reach out to us for corporate flower arrangements or gift services, we gather information you voluntarily share. This may include your name, business name, email address, phone number, delivery addresses, and specific requirements for your floral needs. We also collect payment details when you place orders, though these are processed securely through our payment partners.

For our corporate clients, additional business details such as company registration information, preferred delivery timelines, and budget considerations may be collected to help us tailor our services to your needs.

Information Collected Automatically

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 locate our services.

Important: We only collect the minimum personal information required to provide our flower arrangements and delivery services. Your privacy is central to our operations.

How We Use Your Information

We primarily use your personal information to complete orders and deliver excellent service. This includes processing orders, arranging deliveries, sending 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
  • 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-personal information to understand market trends and enhance our operations. For example, we might analyze which types of arrangements are most popular in different seasons to better manage inventory.

Marketing Communications

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 and is shared only when necessary to provide our services or to comply with legal requirements.

Service Providers

We collaborate with trusted service providers who assist 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 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.

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

Data Security and Protection

We take data security seriously and deploy multiple protective layers. Our systems use encryption for sensitive data transmission, secure servers for storage, and regular security updates to defend against threats.

Physical security measures protect our office systems, and access to personal information is restricted to employees who need it for their work. Our team receives ongoing training on privacy practices and data handling procedures.

Payment Security

Payment information is processed through secure, encrypted systems that adhere to industry standards. We do not store full credit card numbers on our systems—this data is handled by certified payment processors specializing in secure financial transactions.

While we employ strong security measures, no system is entirely immune to risk. We continuously monitor and update our practices to address evolving threats and maintain top-level protection.

Your Rights and Choices

You have several rights regarding your personal information. You can request a copy of the data we hold, ask us to correct inaccurate information, or request deletion of your data 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 retain your information only as long as needed for business purposes and legal requirements. Order records are kept for accounting and warranty reasons, while marketing preferences remain until you ask us to remove them.

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.

Cookies and Website Technology

Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience and help us understand how visitors use our site. Cookies are small files stored on your device that remember your preferences and enable certain features.

Essential cookies are necessary for the site to function correctly—they enable basic navigation and access to secure areas. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and are activated 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.

You can adjust cookie settings through your browser. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect some website features and your overall experience.

Business Transfers and Changes

If VillagePulseWay undergoes major business changes such as mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We would inform 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 entity (with appropriate privacy protections) or securely deleted in line with 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 notify 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 protect your privacy.

Continued Use: By continuing to use our services after policy updates take effect, you accept the revised terms. If you disagree with the changes, you can 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 become aware that we have 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 information from their child can contact us using the details below, and we will address the matter promptly.

International Data Considerations

Our primary operations are based in United Kingdom, and we store and process data within United Kingdom jurisdiction. However, some of our service providers may process data internationally. When this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in line with applicable privacy laws.

We comply with United Kingdom 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 Kingdom's digital economy.
