Introduction

The Flower Barn operates as an informational resource to connect visitors with flower delivery services throughout St. Landry Parish and Lafayette Parish. This policy explains the practices we follow regarding information you provide to us and data we collect when you visit our site. We encourage you to read this carefully so you understand our approach to your privacy.

How We Collect Information About You

We gather information in two primary ways. First, when you choose to interact with us directly-such as completing our contact form-we collect the details you voluntarily submit, including your name, email address, and message content. Second, our web servers automatically record certain technical information whenever you visit, including your IP address, the type of browser and device you are using, which pages you view, the website or search engine that referred you to us, and an approximate geographic location derived from your IP address.

Use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies

To enhance your browsing experience and measure how our site performs, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies. These may include session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device). Cookies help us remember your preferences, understand traffic patterns, and track the performance of referral and affiliate links. You have full control over cookies through your web browser settings-you may disable them entirely or configure your browser to alert you before accepting cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may limit some site features.

How Your Information Is Used

We use the information we collect for several purposes: to operate and maintain the site, respond to your inquiries submitted through our contact form, analyze and improve user experience, measure the effectiveness of our referral partnerships and affiliate links, and identify and prevent fraudulent or harmful activity. Analytics data helps us understand visitor behavior and site performance. Contact form submissions allow us to communicate with you about your interest in flower delivery options.

Third-Party Analytics and Services

Our site uses third-party analytics tools-such as Google Analytics and similar services-to track site usage and performance. These tools may place their own cookies on your device and collect data according to their own privacy policies, which govern their use of that information. We do not control how these third parties use or retain analytics data. We encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.

Information We Do Not Sell

The Flower Barn does not sell, rent, lease, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. When you choose to place an order, you may be directed to an independent third-party vendor that processes that transaction. That vendor operates under its own separate privacy policy, and we are not responsible for their data practices. We recommend reviewing their privacy terms before completing a purchase.

Data Retention and Storage

We retain contact form submissions for a reasonable period to respond to your inquiry and improve our service. Analytics data is typically retained according to the policies of the third-party analytics provider, which generally ranges from several months to two years. We do not retain data longer than necessary to serve the purposes outlined in this policy.

Your Choices and Rights

You have the right to decline providing personal information through our contact form, though this may limit our ability to respond to your inquiry. You may adjust your cookie settings through your browser at any time. Many third-party analytics providers offer opt-out mechanisms on their websites. Refusing to provide information or adjusting privacy settings will not negatively affect your access to our general site content.

Children and Privacy

The Flower Barn is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

Security Measures

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no security system is completely impenetrable. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information, and any transmission over the internet carries inherent risks.

Policy Updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Your continued use of The Flower Barn following any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle your information.
