Privacy Policy

I. What is Personal Information?

Personal information encompasses data that can identify an individual or is closely linked to a specific person or entity. This includes identifiable details such as name, address, phone number, email address, credit card number, or any information related to activities directly associated with that individual, such as their purchase history.

However, it’s important to note that our definition of personal information does not encompass “aggregate” information. Aggregate information refers to data collected about a group or category of products, services, or Website visitors, where individual identities have been anonymized. Essentially, this includes information about how services are utilized by various individuals or the products purchased by different customers, without revealing any personal details. Aggregate data plays a crucial role in understanding trends and the preferences of online visitors, helping us consider new products and services and customize existing ones to better meet the needs of our clients.

II. Collection of Personal Information

We collect personal information that you provide, such as when you:

• Sign up or guest-checkout on Rixflowers.ae;
• Register to use Rixflowers.ae or sign up for news or notifications of specials or other promotions on Rixflowers.ae;
• Submit your email address when doing a checkout as Guest;
• Place an order or purchase products on Website or over the phone;
• Contact us for any reason, such as by replying to inquires by email or through the Website, by telephone through customer service, or in person at one of our locations;
• We may also automatically collect some information when you visit the Website, such as your computer’s network address and operating system, the site from which you linked to us, your site activity and the time and date of your visit and purchases. This information may be collected through the use of “cookies” (see Online Specifics below). We also receive information from third parties who provide services or special promotions or products and we may combine this information with the other personal information we maintain about you. In either case, this policy statement governs this information.

III. Use of Personal Information by Rixflowers.ae

The personal information we collect is generally used to process your requests or transactions, provide you with high-quality service, tell you about opportunities we think will be of interest, and understand your needs so that we can serve you better. For example, we may use your telephone number, your email or your postal address to:

1. alert you about product recalls or safety issues;
2. inform you about special opportunities and programs.

We also may use personal information we collect to provide you with promotional information, which is information we believe will add value to your shopping, such as coupons or promotions. If you prefer not to receive Promotional Information from us, we make it easy for you to let us know. You may contact us at any time to decline Promotional Information (see Choice below).

IV. Sharing of Personal Information

We do not sell, rent, share or disclose personal information to third parties without your prior consent, except in the limited circumstances described below:

1. Order Fulfillment

We may provide to a third party information that is necessary to fulfill an order you have placed with us. For example, if you request shipment for a purchase, we may provide your address to the shipping carrier, and if you pay by a credit or debit card, your card number and sales transaction information are passed on to the card processor and/or issuer (including their service providers such as fraud verification services). However, we give suppliers, and others involved in the commerce distribution chain only the information needed to provide you the products or services you order, such as shipping and/or billing address, email address, telephone number and product orders. Moreover, we require them to keep the information confidential and not to use it for other purposes. We are not responsible for any additional information you provide directly to these parties, and we encourage you to become familiar with their practices before disclosing information directly to them.

2. Our Contractors

We may contract with others to perform tasks or services on our behalf. For example, we might retain a company to process credit card payments, to email information about special offers, or to analyze data. If any of our contractors need access to your personal information, we require that they promise to use the information only to perform the tasks we have engaged them to perform. We also require that they maintain the confidentiality of the information and/or return the information to us when they no longer need it.

V. Other Uses and Disclosures

In addition, we may use or disclose personal information in the good faith belief that we are lawfully authorized to do so, or that doing so is reasonably necessary to protect you, to comply with legal process or authorities, to respond to any claims, or to protect the rights, property or personal safety of Rixflowers.ae, our clients, our employees or the public.

VI. Protection of Personal and Credit Card Information

We have implemented various security measures to safeguard personal information from loss, misuse, or alteration while it remains under our control. These measures include technical, contractual, administrative, and physical safeguards aimed at preventing unauthorized access. The personal information we collect is stored electronically, and we employ stringent protocols to ensure its protection.

We collect, process and maintain payment information, including credit card information, in compliance with the data security rules adopted by credit card companies such as Visa, MasterCard and American Express. This means that we do not retain debit card PINs or credit card security codes, and that any time we maintain a credit card number, such as when you create an online account, we use access controls and strong encryption to protect it. Further, when you enter personal information online, that information is encrypted using a security protocol called SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), which encrypts all information prior to transmitting it over the Internet. We also use SSL to allow you to securely view your online account and registration information.

Online account information is accessible only by using a password. To protect the confidentiality of personal information in your online account, you must keep your password confidential. You are responsible for all uses of Rixflowers.ae by anyone using your password. If others have access to your computer or email, they may be able to find your password and obtain information about you (such as your address or phone number), or change information in your user profile. You should not use an email account operated by an employer because many employers have the legal right to view your email or online accounts. Please advise us immediately if you believe your password has been misused.

VII. Choice

We give you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving certain information or to request that certain information not be shared with third parties, by giving you numerous methods to inform us of your decision. Your choice to opt-out will not apply to your spouse and any add-on members.
