Privacy Policy

At Petal Garden Studio, we recognize the importance of privacy. We are committed to respecting your contact preferences and protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines the information we collect, how it is used, and with whom it may be shared. This policy applies to all services and products offered by petalgardenstudio.odoo.com.

Please read this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use carefully before using our website, tools, or services, or conducting any transactions with us. By using any of our services, you accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy and agree to be bound by the Terms of Use.

Data Collection

We do not store your credit card information or other sensitive data on our servers. Petal Garden Studio uses the services of secure payment gateways to provide safe and secure payment procedures. Your credit card information is never transmitted via our website; the payment gateway is responsible for collecting, storing, and encrypting your data. All information collected is used for product and service provision, billing, identification and authentication, service improvement, contact, and research.

Petal Garden Studio does not share your email address or other personally identifying information with any third parties, except our service providers, such as credit-card payment processors, performing services on our behalf. These service providers may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to share or use such information for any other purposes.

Cookies & Tracking Information

When your browser visits our website, a cookie is created on your computer. A cookie is a small amount of data, often including an anonymous unique identifier, sent to your browser from a website’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies are required to become a member of our service, as they facilitate access to our website and improve the user experience.

We use cookies to record current session information, encrypted users’ login information, provide services, and compile analytics about our users. Additionally, we may collect information about your browser type, default language, date and time of your visit, and similar information, which helps us track users’ movements around our website and understand trends.

At Petal Garden Studio, we do our best to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

Data Protection and Security

We do not sell your personal information to anyone for any purpose. We maintain information about you in our business records while you are a customer, or until it is no longer needed for business, tax, or legal purposes. We have implemented encryption and other appropriate security controls to protect personal information when stored by Petal Garden Studio. All passwords in our web service are hashed using the SHA-1 cryptographic hash function. Both Petal Garden Studio and our third-party hosting vendors strive to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Any personal information or content that you voluntarily disclose online (in reviews, discussion areas, public profile pages, etc.) becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others. Your account name (not your email address) is displayed to other users when you send comments or messages through our Blog/Forums, and other users can contact you through messages and comments.

Creating an account and placing orders implies the use of your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major website changes, updates on Terms and Conditions or Privacy Policy, alerting you to messages from other members, or for customer service purposes). We use your contact information to send you offers based on your previous orders and interests.

We use both your personally identifiable information and certain non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous user usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the website and to create new features, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing user preferences and trends. When you post a comment or message, your Petal Garden Studio ID or username is visible to other users. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Petal Garden Studio does not rent or sell your personal information.

Petal Garden Studio will not share personal information about you with other people or companies without your consent, except to provide products or services you’ve requested and in the following circumstances: We may be required to disclose personally identifiable information under special circumstances, such as to comply with subpoenas, warrants, court orders, or legal processes, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. It may be necessary to share information to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities, including without limitation, fraud, situations involving potential threats to physical safety, violations of Terms of Use, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. Petal Garden Studio may share demographic information with business partners, such as “30% of users who regularly use Petal Garden Studio are between 40 and 45” or similar. No personally identifiable information will ever be used without your permission.

We may release personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with laws or respond to a court order, subpoena, or search warrant.

Petal Garden Studio reserves the right to use the business name, logo, and comments of its registrants, members, and customers in marketing documents, on its website, and in other marketing and promotional activities. At any time, the registrants, members, and customers of the service can send a written notice to withdraw this authorization.

Petal Garden Studio also reserves the right to disclose personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable information that it believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce our Member Agreement, take precautions against liability, investigate and defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations, assist government enforcement agencies, protect the security or integrity of our website, and protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Petal Garden Studio, our users, or others.
