1) Order
Security
Our site supports secure on-line purchasing through secure
socket layer (SSl) technology. This technology works
best when the site is viewed with a Netscape or Microsoft
browser. The information that you provide during the
shopping process is encrypted for your protection. When
ordering at our site using the secure order form you will
notice either a solid key or closed lock on your
browser. Always look for these signs before entering
your billing information.
When you are ready to order, you are taken to our Secure
Shopping Cart Server and you will notice the address begins
with HTTP. Our email checks automatically every 10 minutes. We
receive an email telling us there is an order waiting for us.
Our secure server software (SSL) is the industry standard and
among the best software available today for secure commerce
transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information,
including credit card number, name, and address, so that it
cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.
Purchasing at Flowers-Central.com is far safer than giving
your credit card to a waiter in restaurant, a counter person
at a car rental facility, or a gas station attendant. In those
cases, your credit card number is on a piece of paper and is
potentially visible to many people who work at these
establishments. That's not secure...yet, millions of people
buy meals, rent cars and buy auto fuel this way all time.
We guarantee your shopping experience with Flowers-Central.com
to be completely safe for you. Under the Fair Credit Billing
Act, you cannot be held liable for more than $50 of any
fraudulent charges. Our shopping system logs all dns addresses
for your security and ours.
Still don't want to use your credit card on the Internet? No
problem. Just call our customer service department at
1-866-515-8768 and a customer care representative will take
your order.
2) Privacy Policy
At Flowers-Central.com our ordering system is
"cookie" based, as are most of the large web sites
such as amazon.com. You must have cookies enabled to use our
shopping cart. However, we use a "session cookie"
which contains NO personal information about you, it simply
tracks what is in the shopping cart as you move from page to
page in the checkout process. If you choose not to accept
cookies, please just call us to order.
We are committed to your privacy also. All your personal data
will be maintained only by us, for internal analysis to try to
make our service better to you. You may receive occasional
emails from us offering advance notice of specials or a
reminder of an upcoming holiday. Your data will NEVER be sold
to any outside company or marketer.
How we use "cookies"
A "cookie" is a small file stored on your computer
by a Web site which gives you a numeric user ID and stores
certain information about your activity on the site. We use
cookies to let us know that you are a prior customer and to
provide certain features to you, for example to store
information on your product selections as you shop on our
site, but we do not store any personal information (except
your name) or financial information about you using cookies.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but most allow
you to instruct your browser to prevent the use of cookies.
However, if you disable this feature, certain aspects of
Flowers-Central.com, such as the shopping basket, will not
function properly.
How we use the information we collect about you.
We use information we collect from you to process your orders,
to provide an enhanced and more personalized shopping
experience and to inform you and your gift and message
recipients of offers and discounts from Flowers-Central.com.
