We will NEVER rent, sell or provide any information about you or the recipient to a third party for marketing purposes.

Our Use and Disclosure of Your Information
BOTANICA – Flowers, Balloons & Gifts understands that your email Intray is already overcrowded. So the last thing we want is to be so annoying that you will add our email domain into your undesirable spam filter. This is why we will never harass you with weekly or monthly marketing emails. There is only four possible reasons for receiving emails from us:
- Confirmation emails will be sent to you in the normal course of the transaction to confirm processing or to clarify or verify some requests or information provided.
- If you are using these services, Reminder emails will be sent to you 2 days prior to any dates you have entered in the Reminder Service or that you want us to manage for you.
- If you have opted-in, we will send you a quarterly-only newsletter with meaningful information.
- We also will gladly reply to any questions you might ask.
So, in a nutshell, We will not email you in the future unless you have given us your consent (unless it is to confirm orders or delivery).
We will always give you the opportunity to refuse any marketing email or text message from us in the future.
When opening an account or making a purchase, you have an opportunity to opt-in or opt-out from receiving emails from us.
If you opt-in to receive information from us, we may use your purchase history, contact information and other registration information to provide you with more relevant information and email content.
