We provide links to these third parties as a convenience to you. These links are not intended as an endorsement of or referral to the linked third party goods or services. We recommend you carefully read the privacy policy, notices and terms of use of any the other sites that you visit.

Some content or applications, including advertisements, on the Website are served by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers and application providers. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our website.

Text Message Notifications
FlowerFarm may send text message notifications for two purposes: (1) order and shipping confirmation and information, or (2) promotional or marketing purposes. You must opt-in in order to receive those text message notifications through your account on www.flowerfarm.com.
To the extent that you are receiving text message notifications from FlowerFarm, you may opt-out by replying to the message we send you with the word "STOP”, but you will only be opted-out for the purpose for which you received that text message. For example, if you receive a shipping notification and reply with the word “STOP”, you will only be opted-out for the order and shipping confirmation and information text messages. If you wish to opt-out of all text message notifications, for all purposes, you must change your account settings at www.flowerfarm.com, or separately opt-out by texting the word “STOP” in response to both types of messages.

9. What security measures does FlowerFarm put in place?

We use procedural and technological security measures which are reasonably designed to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure, consistent with industry standards.

We use encryption, passwords, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, it is always possible that third parties will unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or defeat these measures. Therefore, we do not promise and cannot guarantee (and thus you should not expect) that your personal information can never be viewed and/or used by others. FlowerFarm is not responsible for these unauthorized uses, thus you should be careful about the information you make available when using our Website.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website like message boards.
