instruct us if you prefer to limit the use of that information.
This Privacy Policy is part of the Terms of Use, which governs your

EVFlower.com.
Why do we gather information?
Since our inception, EVFlower.com has consistently provided our
customers with quality goods and excellent customer service. We
gather personal information to allow us to process your orders,
to provide an enhanced and more personalized shopping experience
and to inform you and your gift and message recipients of special
offers and discounts.

we may collect the following information: your name, telephone number,
email address, billing information (credit card number, expiration
date and billing address), occasion type (birthday, Mothers day,
etc.), products purchased, any relevant promotion code and information
(for example if you are claiming frequent flyer miles) and the gift

How we use "cookies"
A "cookie" is a small file stored on your computer by
a Web site which gives you a numeric user ID and stores certain
information about your activity on the site. We use cookies to let
us know that you are a prior customer and to provide certain features
to you, for example to store information on your product selections
as you shop on our site, but we do not store any personal information
(except your name) or financial information about you using cookies.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but most allow
you to instruct your browser to prevent the use of cookies. However,
if you disable this feature, certain aspects of EVFlower.com, such
as the shopping basket, will not function properly.
How we use the information we collect about you.
We use information we collect from you to process your orders,
to provide an enhanced and more personalized shopping experience
and to inform you and your gift and message recipients of offers
and discounts from EVFlower.com or other sites and companies that
we own. In addition, we periodically make such information, including
aggregated information, available to selected third parties including
but not limited to, those who trade or rent information for direct
marketing purposes. However, without your consent, we do not make
your, or your gift or message recipient's email addresses available
to third parties (except for subsidiaries, subcontractors or agents
acting on our behalf in compliance with this Privacy Policy)or any
Successor (see below) to our business. If you would like us to email
you a notice when our Privacy Policy or Terms of Use change, please
follow the instructions below. Any email sent to your gift or message
recipients will include a link to our Privacy Policy and a link
to use if they wish not to receive further emails. You may instruct
us not to share personal information you provide with third parties
by following the instructions provided below. A Successor to our
business is not to be considered to be a third party for these purposes
(see below).
In the event of a merger, consolidation, or sale or transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets or business of EVFlower.com
(a "Successor"), one of the assets which would generally
be transferred is the information we collect from our customers
and members. However, the use of this information by any Successor
would still be governed by the terms of this privacy policy, as
amended from time to time, including any amendment after such transaction,
and you will continue to have the right to opt-out of sharing your
information with third parties.
We may disclose any information you provide to EVFlower.com (i)
when we believe disclosure to be appropriate to comply with any
law, regulation, or governmental request, or to comply with judicial
process; or (ii) if such disclosure is necessary or appropriate
to operate this web site or to process any purchases you make or
conduct any promotions you participate in; (iii) to protect the
rights or property of EVFlower.com, its users, Sponsors, Providers,
Licensors, or Merchants.
Links
EVFlower.com wants you to be aware that when you click on links
and/or ad banners that take you to third-party Web sites, you will
be subject to the third parties' privacy policies, not ours. While
we support the protection of privacy on the Internet, we cannot
be responsible for the actions of third parties. We encourage you
to read the posted privacy statement and user terms and conditions
whenever interacting with, and prior to providing any personal information
to, any other Web site.

over the Internet using secure socket layer (SSL) encryption technology.
This technology works best when the site is viewed using Microsoft's
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
However, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other
public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we
make reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal information once
we receive it, we cannot warrant the security of information you
transmit to us.
