Bloom & Wren operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services, in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the "Services").

Transfers Outside the UK
Where we transfer your personal information outside the UK, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the use of the UK's International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or transfers to countries with UK adequacy regulations in place. Please contact us if you would like more information about these safeguards.
Relationship with Shopify
The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services. To learn more about how Shopify uses your personal information, please visit the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy. You may also visit the Shopify Privacy Portal to exercise rights related to data processed by Shopify.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect usage information and improve your experience on our website. In accordance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You may manage or withdraw your consent at any time through your browser settings or our cookie consent tool.
Third-Party Websites and Links
The Services may provide links to websites operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, and you should review their own privacy policies before providing any personal information.
Children's Data
The Services are not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Security and Retention of Your Information
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage.
How long we retain your personal information depends on the purpose for which it was collected and our legal obligations. We will not retain your data for longer than is necessary.
