Privacy Policy

Who we are

Imrans Blooms is a florist. Our website address is https://imrans.floristgrow.co.uk. We are the data controller for the personal information we collect through this website.

What data we collect

When you place an order or contact us, we may collect:

• Your name, email address, phone number and delivery address
• Recipient name and delivery address (if different from yours)
• Payment information (processed securely by our payment provider — we do not store card details)
• Order history and correspondence

How we use your data

We use your data to:

• Process and fulfil your orders
• Communicate with you about your order
• Send you marketing emails if you have opted in (you can unsubscribe at any time)
• Improve our website and services

Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with trusted third-party service providers (e.g. payment processors, email platforms) solely to fulfil your order. All third parties are required to keep your data secure.

AI shopping assistant

Shops on the FloristGrow platform may offer an AI-powered shopping assistant (“AI concierge”) — a chat icon you can open to ask about flowers, occasions, or general questions about the shop. If you cannot see a chat icon on this website, Imrans Blooms does not currently offer it, and nothing in this section applies to you.

If Imrans Blooms offers this feature and you use it, the exact text you type is sent to Anthropic PBC, a third-party AI company based in the United States, together with Imrans Blooms’s current product catalogue and some basic shop information (such as opening hours, delivery areas and contact details), so that Anthropic’s AI model can generate a reply. Anthropic processes this as a sub-processor of FloristGrow’s technology provider, Pinwheel Media Ltd (company number 16851462) — see “Data sharing” below.

Please bear this in mind before you type something into the chat: if your message includes personal information — for example, your name, someone else’s name, or a delivery address — that text is sent to Anthropic as part of the conversation, because the assistant has no way to filter this out. We recommend keeping personal or sensitive details out of the chat and using the checkout form for anything order-specific.

The assistant cannot look up, change or cancel an existing order and has no access to your account or order history — for anything about an existing order, please contact us directly.

Your conversation is held in temporary server memory for the length of your chat session (capped at the most recent 40 messages) and is not saved to a permanent database; it is cleared once your session ends or the underlying service restarts. Separately, a short record that a conversation happened and, where relevant, which product it recommended is kept for service analytics — this record does not include the wording of your messages.

Anthropic is based in the United States, so using the assistant means your message is sent to, and processed in, the United States as part of generating a reply. That transfer is covered by Anthropic’s data processing terms, which apply automatically to our use of their service and which put the UK International Data Transfer Addendum and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses in place — the safeguards UK data protection law recognises for sending personal data outside the UK. Under those terms Anthropic acts only as a processor, handling your message on instructions rather than for its own purposes.

The legal basis for this processing is Imrans Blooms’s legitimate interests in offering a shopping tool that you have chosen to use, and in responding to the specific question you have asked. You can choose not to use the assistant at any time.

Data retention

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil your order and comply with our legal obligations (typically up to 7 years for financial records).

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact us at imrannasirsaleem@googlemail.com.
