Your Privacy Matters: At OnlyFlowers.org, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information. This comprehensive privacy policy explains our practices in detail.
When you use our flower bed space calculator and related services, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including but not limited to your garden dimensions, flower preferences, contact information when you reach out to us, email address if you choose to save or share your calculations, and any feedback or comments you submit through our contact forms or surveys.
We collect this information to provide you with accurate garden planning calculations, improve our services based on user needs, respond to your inquiries and provide customer support, and send you relevant gardening tips and updates if you opt-in to receive them.
When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information about your device and usage patterns. This includes your IP address and general location information, browser type, version, and settings, operating system and device information, pages you visit and time spent on each page, referring website or source that brought you to our site, date and time of your visits, and search terms you used to find our website.
This information helps us understand how visitors use our website, identify and fix technical issues, analyze trends and improve our services, ensure our website works properly across different devices and browsers, and protect against fraud and security threats.
We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and collect usage information. Essential cookies are necessary for our website to function properly, including cookies that remember your calculator settings and preferences. Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferred measurement units or garden types. We may also use advertising cookies to deliver relevant advertisements and measure their effectiveness, though we are committed to respecting your privacy choices regarding advertising.
We use the information we collect for several legitimate purposes that benefit both you and our service. Primarily, we use your information to provide and maintain our flower bed calculator service, ensuring accurate calculations based on your garden specifications and flower preferences. We process your garden planning data to generate personalized recommendations, spacing calculations, and cost estimates that help you create beautiful flower gardens.
Your information also helps us improve our services continuously. We analyze usage patterns and user feedback to enhance our calculator algorithms, add new flower types and spacing recommendations, develop additional gardening tools and resources, and optimize our website performance and user experience across different devices and browsers.
When you contact us with questions or support requests, we use your information to respond promptly and effectively. This includes troubleshooting technical issues, providing gardening advice and recommendations, processing your feedback and suggestions, and maintaining records of our communications to ensure consistent support.
With your explicit consent, we may use your email address to send you valuable gardening content, including seasonal planting tips, new tool announcements, garden design inspiration, and educational resources about flower care and maintenance. You can opt out of these communications at any time.
We respect your privacy and do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. However, there are specific circumstances where we may share your information, always with appropriate safeguards and legal justification.
We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website and providing our services. These providers include web hosting companies that store our website data, analytics services that help us understand website usage, email service providers for communication purposes, and technical support providers who help maintain our systems.
All service providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the specific services they provide to us. They are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes or share it with other parties.
We may disclose your information when required by law or when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with legal obligations, respond to valid legal requests from government authorities, protect our rights, property, or safety, protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or others, investigate and prevent fraud or security issues, and enforce our terms of service or other agreements.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, your information may be transferred to the new owner. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information and provide you with choices regarding your information.
We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security practices include industry-standard encryption for data transmission, secure servers with regular security updates and monitoring, access controls that limit who can view your information, regular security audits and vulnerability assessments, and incident response procedures to address any potential security breaches.
We use SSL/TLS encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers. Our databases are protected by firewalls and access controls, and we regularly update our security protocols to address emerging threats. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When we no longer need your information, we securely delete or anonymize it according to industry best practices.

You have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain legal limitations. We will honor deletion requests unless we have a legitimate reason to retain the information, such as legal compliance requirements or ongoing security investigations.
You have the right to object to or restrict certain types of processing of your personal information. For example, you can opt out of marketing communications or request that we limit how we use your information for analytics purposes.
If you have provided consent for certain uses of your information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
