Data Privacy Policy
We value your privacy at SummitMellowOpal
Information We Collect
When you reach out to us for corporate flower arrangements or gift services, we gather information you willingly share. This includes your name, business name, email address, phone number, delivery addresses, and any specific requirements for your floral needs. We also collect payment details when you place orders, though this is processed securely through our payment partners.
For our corporate clients, we may collect extra business information such as company registration details, preferred delivery times, and budget considerations. This helps us tailor our service to your business needs.
Our website automatically gathers certain technical data when you visit. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you navigate our site. We use this information to improve website performance and understand how clients discover our services.
How We Use Your Information
We primarily use your personal information to fulfill flower orders and deliver exceptional customer service. This includes processing orders, coordinating deliveries, sending order confirmations, and following up to ensure your satisfaction.
- Processing and completing your flower orders and gift arrangements
- Communicating about order status and delivery timing
- Providing customer support and responding to inquiries
- Enhancing our services based on your feedback and preferences
- Sending relevant updates about our services (with your consent)
- Maintaining records for business and legal compliance
We also use aggregated, non-personal data to understand market trends and optimize our operations. For example, we might analyze which types of arrangements are most popular in different seasons to better manage inventory.
With your explicit consent, we may share information about seasonal offerings, special promotions, or new services that could be of interest to your business. You can opt out of these communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails or reaching out to us directly.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. Your data stays within our business ecosystem, shared only when necessary to provide our services or to comply with legal requirements.
We collaborate with trusted service providers who assist us in delivering our services. This includes payment processors, delivery partners, and flower suppliers. These partners are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it solely for the specific services they provide to us.
We may disclose your information if required by United Kingdom law, court orders, or government regulations. This includes compliance with GST regulations, business licensing requirements, and other legal obligations applicable to our operations in London and across United Kingdom.
Data Security and Protection
We treat data security with utmost seriousness and employ multiple layers of protection. Our systems use encryption for sensitive data transmission, secure servers for storage, and regular security updates to defend against threats.
We implement physical security measures to protect our office systems, and restrict access to personal information to employees who need it for their work. Our team receives ongoing training on privacy practices and data handling procedures.
Payment information is processed through secure, encrypted systems that conform to industry standards. We do not store full credit card numbers on our systems—this data is handled by certified payment processors specializing in secure financial transactions.
While we employ strong security measures, no system is entirely immune to risk. We continuously monitor and update our security practices to address evolving threats and maintain the highest protection standards possible.
Your Rights and Choices
You have several rights regarding your personal information. You can request access to the data we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate information, or ask for deletion of your data when legally permissible.
- Access your personal information and understand how we use it
- Request corrections to inaccurate or outdated information
- Ask us to delete your personal information (subject to business and legal requirements)
- Opt out of marketing communications while continuing to receive service-related messages
- Request information about how your data has been shared
- File complaints about our privacy practices
We retain your information only as long as necessary for business purposes and legal obligations. Order records are kept for accounting and warranty reasons, while marketing preferences remain until you request their removal.
When we no longer need your information, we securely delete or anonymize it. Some data may be retained longer if required by United Kingdom business laws or for legitimate business interests like fraud prevention.

Business Transfers and Changes
If SummitMellowOpal undergoes significant business changes such as mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We would inform you of any such changes and ensure your data remains protected under privacy standards aligned with this policy.
In the unlikely event that we cease operations, we would ensure your personal information is either securely transferred to a successor business (with appropriate privacy protections) or securely deleted in accordance with data protection best practices.
Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. When significant changes occur, we will notify you via email or by posting a notice on our website before the changes take effect.
Minor updates for clarity or administrative adjustments may be made without prior notice. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
Children's Privacy
Our services are designed for businesses and adult consumers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected information from someone under 18, we will promptly remove that data from our systems.
Parents or guardians who believe we may have collected information from their child can contact us using the details below, and we will address the matter promptly.
International Data Considerations
Our primary operations are based in United Kingdom, and we store and process data within United Kingdom's jurisdiction. However, some of our service providers may process data internationally. When this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
We comply with United Kingdom data protection laws and regulations, including those related to business operations, financial transactions, and customer data handling. Our practices align with evolving privacy standards in United Kingdom's digital economy.
