PRIVACY POLICY
https://www.almondblossom.us (the "Site") is a website owned and provided by Almond Blossom, LLC (“ALMOND BLOSSOM”). The information exchanged and collected on or through the Site is governed by this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy describes how your Personal Information (defined below) is collected, used and shared when you visit or make purchases from the Site. This Privacy Policy does not cover websites or web pages that you access or link to from this Site. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you may not use this Site.
Information We Collect
We do not collect personally identifiable information from you via this Site other than that necessary to create an account, receive, process and deliver orders and/or to communicate with you. We may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”). Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to: Email Address, First Name and Last Name, Phone Number Address, State, Province, ZIP/Postal code, City and payment method information.
Our Site, applications, email messages, and advertisements may use cookies and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies are used for analytic purposes to help us understand usage of our Site. They also help us to measure the effectiveness of our advertisements, content and digital
services. Cookies also provide functional purposes to remember what choices you make on our Site so we can enhance our Site, services and/or products.
Here are some examples of the non-personally identifiable information that is collected via the Site and a description of how this information is used:
-
Internet Protocol (IP) Address – Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet know where to send you data, such as the web pages you view. We use this information to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to tailor our Site to the interests of our users, and to measure traffic within our Site.
-
Cookie – A "cookie" is a small text file that may be used to collect information about your activity on the Site. For example, when someone visits a page within the Site, a cookie is placed on the user's machine (if the user accepts cookies) or is read if the user has visited the Site previously. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser; if you do so, however, you may not be able to take advantage of the personalized features enjoyed by other users to our Site.
-
Web Beacons (also known as "clear gifs," "web bugs," or "pixel tags") – "Web Beacons" are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the Site and help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, web beacons can tell the sender whether and when the email has been opened. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages.
In the event that ALMOND BLOSSOM merges with another organization, transfers or sells substantially all of its assets to a third party, or declares bankruptcy, some or all collected information stored on our server would be included in the merger, transfer, or sale. Also, if required to comply with applicable laws or protect the interest or safety of ALMOND BLOSSOM or other visitors to the Site, we may share personally identifiable information to a third party.
