Privacy Notice
We value your privacy at Harbor Panel Studio
Information We Collect
When you reach out to us for corporate flower arrangements or gift services, we collect information you willingly share. This includes your name, company name, email address, phone number, delivery addresses, and specific floral requirements. We also collect payment details when placing orders, though processing is securely handled by our payment partners.
For our corporate clients, we may gather additional business information such as company registration details, preferred delivery times, and budget needs. This helps us tailor our service to your business.
Our site automatically gathers certain technical data when you browse. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and navigation patterns. We use this information to improve site performance and understand how customers locate our services.
How We Use Your Information
We primarily use your personal information to fulfill orders and deliver excellent service. This includes processing orders, arranging deliveries, sending confirmations, and following up to ensure your satisfaction.
- Processing and delivering your flower orders and gift arrangements
- Communicating about order status and delivery timing
- Providing customer support and addressing your inquiries
- Enhancing our services based on your feedback and preferences
- Sending relevant updates about our offerings (with your consent)
- Keeping records for business and legal compliance
We also use aggregated, non-personal data to understand market trends and refine our operations. For instance, we may analyze which arrangement types are most popular across seasons to better manage inventory.
With your explicit consent, we may share information about seasonal selections, exclusive promotions, or new services that could interest your business. You can opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or contacting 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, and is shared only when required to provide our services or to comply with legal obligations.
We collaborate with trusted service providers who assist 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 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, and other legal obligations impacting 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 utilize encryption for sensitive data transmission, secure servers for storage, and regular security updates to mitigate threats.
Physical security measures safeguard our office systems, and access to personal information is limited to employees who require it for their duties. Our team receives ongoing privacy and data handling training.
Payment details are processed through secure, encrypted systems that meet industry standards. We do not store full credit card numbers on our systems—this information is managed by certified payment processors specializing in secure financial transactions.
While we implement strong protections, no system is completely risk-free. We continuously monitor and update our security practices to address evolving threats and uphold the highest protection standards.
Your Rights and Choices
You have several rights regarding your personal data. You can request to view what we hold, ask for corrections to inaccurate information, or request deletion of your data where legally permissible.
- Access your personal data and understand how we use it
- Request corrections to outdated or inaccurate information
- Ask us to delete your personal data (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 needed for business and legal purposes. Order records are kept for accounting and warranty needs, while marketing preferences are kept until you request removal.
When we no longer require 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 preventing fraud.

Business Transfers and Changes
If Harbor Panel Studio undergoes major 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 discontinue operations, we would ensure your personal data is either securely transferred to a successor business (with appropriate privacy protections) or securely deleted according to data protection best practices.
Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may periodically update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. When significant changes occur, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on our site before the changes take effect.

International Data Considerations
Our primary operations are based in United Kingdom, and data storage and processing occur within United Kingdom jurisdiction. However, some service providers may process data internationally. When this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information under applicable privacy laws.
We comply with United Kingdom data protection laws and regulations, including those related to business activities, financial transactions, and customer data handling. Our practices align with evolving privacy standards in United Kingdom's digital economy.
