When you contact us for corporate floral arrangements or gift services, we gather information you actively provide. This may include your name, business name, email address, phone number, delivery addresses, and detailed floral requirements. We also collect payment details when you place orders, though these are securely handled by our payment partners.

Certain technical data is automatically gathered when you browse our site, including your IP address, browser type, device information, and navigation patterns. We use this to enhance site performance and to understand how customers find our services.

We primarily use your personal information to fulfill flower orders and provide excellent customer service. This includes processing orders, coordinating deliveries, creating custom arrangements based on your requirements, and communicating about your service needs.
We also utilize information to improve our services and the website experience. This helps us identify which corporate floral services are most valuable to our clients and how we can better assist the business community in United Kingdom.
