Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your PII in accordance with our website.

Do we use “cookies”?

 

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow cookies) that enable the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

 

We use cookies to:

 

  • Understand and save user’s preferences for future visits.
  • Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third party services that track this information on our behalf.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser’s Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.

 

If you disable cookies, some of the website features will be disabled. It won’t affect the user experience too significantly, but some of our services will not function properly.

 

However, you can still provide contact and project information.

Third party links

 

We may include links to product and service vendors and other third parties on our website that we believe our visitors may find useful. These third parties will not receive your Personally Identifiable Information from our website, nor will they initiate contact with you.

 

Google

 

Google’s advertising requirements can be summed up by Google’s Advertising Principles. They are put in place to provide a positive experience for users. https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/1316548?hl=en

 

We use Google AdSense Advertising on our website.
Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

 

We have implemented Demographics and Interests Reporting. This means that we, along with third-party vendors, such as Google, use first-party cookies (such as Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) or other third-party identifiers together to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions, and other ad service functions as they relate to our website.

 

Opting out

 

Users can set preferences for how Google advertises to you by using the Google Ad Settings page. Alternatively, you can opt out by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt out page, or by permanently using the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser add on.

 

California Online Privacy Protection Act

 

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website. This policy must state exactly what information is being collected and those individuals with whom the information is being shared. See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

 

In accordance with CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

 

  • Users can visit our site anonymously.
  • We will add a link to our privacy policy on our home page, or on the first significant page users see after entering our website.
  • Our Privacy Policy link will include the word “Privacy,” and be easily found on the page specified above.
  • Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on our Privacy Policy page.
  • Users will be able to change their personal information by emailing us.

 

How does our site handle “Do Not Track” signals?

 

We honor Do Not Track signals and do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.

 

Does our site allow third party behavioral tracking?

 

We do not allow third party behavioral tracking.

 

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

 

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control when it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

 

We do not specifically market to children under 13.

 

Fair Information Practices

 

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States. The concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practices Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to complying with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

 

In order to conform with Fair Information Practices, we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:

 

We will notify the users via onsite notification within 7 business days.

 

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

 

CAN SPAM Act

 

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

 

We collect your email address in order to send you updates on our company and industry. To be in accordance with the CAN-SPAM Act, we agree that if at any time  you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can send an email to service@flowersgardenslandscapes.com with the word “Unsubscribe” in the subject line and/or the body of the message, and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.
