Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us at RippleGroveFolio

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 floral arrangements or gift services, we gather details you choose to share. This may include your name, company name, email address, phone number, delivery addresses, and specific floral requirements. Payment details are collected when you place orders, though processing is handled securely via our payment partners.

For corporate clients, we may also collect extra business details such as company registration information, preferred delivery times, and budget expectations to better tailor our service 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 navigation patterns. We use this information to enhance site performance and understand how clients discover our services.

Important: We do not collect more personal data than necessary to provide our floral arrangements and delivery services. Your privacy underpins how we run our business.

How We Use Your Information

We primarily use your personal information to fulfill orders and deliver outstanding customer support. This involves processing orders, coordinating deliveries, sending confirmations, and following up to ensure satisfaction.

  • Processing and fulfilling your floral orders and gift arrangements
  • Communicating about order status and delivery timelines
  • 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

We also use aggregated, non-personal data to analyze market trends and refine our operations. For example, we might assess which arrangement types are most popular in different seasons to better prepare 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 by 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 help us deliver our services, including 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.

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 strictly limited to providing you better service or meeting our legal obligations.

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 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 data is 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 transactions.

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

Your Rights and Choices

You have several rights regarding your personal information. You can request access to what we hold about you, ask for corrections to inaccurate data, or request deletion where 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 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 such as fraud prevention.

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

Analytics and Performance

We employ analytics cookies to learn how visitors interact with our site. This helps us identify popular content, optimize page performance, and improve the user experience. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

Business Transfers and Changes

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

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

Updates to This Privacy Policy

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

Minor updates for clarity or administrative purposes may be made without prior notice. Please 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 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 information from someone under 18, we will promptly remove it 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 data is stored and processed 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.
