Privacy Policy.
Gwen & Birdie Flower Co. LLC, a limited liability company located at 763 S 550 E, Salem, Utah 84653, United States ("G&B," "we," "us," or "our"), operates the website www.irdieflower.shop — developed and maintained by rdie Flower Co — and runs a general mercantile and specialty retail shop. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and share it, and the choices available to you.
1. Scope of this Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through our website at www.irdieflower.shop (the "Site"), through email, telephone and other communications with the shop, and in the course of retail sales and special orders (the "Services"). It does not govern third-party websites or services linked from the Site, which are subject to their own privacy policies.
By using the Site or communicating with us, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Site or submit personal information to us.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information you provide to us
- Inquiry data. When you send a stock inquiry, email or call us, we collect your name, organization, email address, telephone number and the contents of your message, including the aisle and item described.
- Sale records. To complete purchases and special orders, we record tickets — item, price, date, and contact details needed to hold, order and complete the sale.
- Hold and order data. Name and contact details used to hold items, place special orders and notify you of arrival.
- Billing data. Contact and payment details necessary to complete sales and returns.
2.2 Information collected automatically
- Technical log data. When you visit the Site, our hosting provider may automatically record standard technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages viewed and access timestamps.
- Cookies. The Site is a static website and does not set tracking or advertising cookies. Our hosting provider (Firebase Hosting, operated by Google) processes technical data as described in Section 5.
2.3 Information we do not seek
The contact form is for stock inquiries — it is not a channel for payment card numbers, account credentials or sensitive data. Payment is completed at the counter or through designated channels.
3. How We Use Information
We use collected information to:
- Check stock, quote prices and confirm holds;
- Complete sales, special orders and returns;
- Maintain the stock register and reconcile the counter;
- Notify you about availability and order arrival;
- Issue receipts and maintain sale records;
- Communicate about stock, orders and pickup;
- Operate, maintain and secure the Site;
- Meet legal, tax and recordkeeping obligations;
- Establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
We do not use personal information for automated decision-making or profiling, and we never sell personal information.
4. Legal Bases for Processing
Where applicable law requires a stated legal basis, we process personal information on the following grounds:
- Contract. Processing needed to quote, hold, order or complete a sale for you.
- Legitimate interests. Operating our shop, keeping the register and securing our systems, where not overridden by your rights.
- Legal obligation. Recordkeeping and disclosure required under tax and other applicable law.
- Consent. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us.
5. How We Share Information
We do not sell, rent or trade personal information. Disclosure occurs only in these limited cases:
- Service providers. The Site is hosted on Firebase Hosting (Google LLC); email and business systems are handled by providers acting on our behalf under their own terms and safeguards.
- Payment processors. Payment data is shared with processors as needed to complete sales and returns.
- Mail carriers. Where items ship by mail order, shipping addresses go to the carrier.
- Professional advisers. Attorneys, accountants, insurers and regulators receive information where necessary for services or compliance.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information where required by law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Gwen & Birdie Flower Co. LLC, our customers or others.
- Business transfers. In a merger, acquisition or asset sale, information may transfer as part of the transaction, subject to this Policy.
6. Data Retention
Personal information is kept only as long as needed for the purposes in this Policy. Inquiries that do not lead to a sale are generally retained for up to twenty-four months. Sale tickets and order records are retained for the period required by tax and commercial recordkeeping obligations — typically seven years or longer. Information no longer needed is deleted or anonymized.
7. Data Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards, including encrypted transport (HTTPS) on the Site, access controls on sale records, and limiting file access to staff who need it. No transmission or storage method is fully secure; if we become aware of a breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and regulators as required by law.
8. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your state of residence, you may have some or all of the following rights:
- Access. Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction. Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Deletion. Request deletion, subject to legal and record-retention requirements.
- Restriction & objection. Request limits on, or object to, certain processing.
- Portability. Receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.
- Non-discrimination. Exercise your rights without discriminatory treatment.
Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws — including California, Utah, Virginia, Colorado and Connecticut — may exercise these rights by writing to y.takahashi@irdieflower.shop. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is no sale or sharing to opt out of. We verify requests and respond within the legally required period.
9. Children's Privacy
The Site is intended for adults and retail customers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
10. International Visitors
We are located in the United States and process information in the United States. If you access the Site or contact us from abroad, you understand your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, whose data protection laws may differ from yours.
11. Third-Party Links
The Site may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to review their policies.
12. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our practices, the Site or applicable law. The "Last updated" date above shows the current version. Material changes are posted here; continued use of the Site after a change constitutes acceptance.
