Privacy Policy - Johnston Flower Delivery

Last updated: July 2026

Johnston Flower Delivery (accessible at https://atwoodflorist.com) is a referral resource that helps people in Providence County locate flower delivery services. We don't sell flowers ourselves, we don't process any payments through this site, and we don't ask visitors to create accounts. Because we still gather some information as part of running the site, this page explains what that information is, why we collect it, and what say you have in the matter.

1. The Purpose of This Site

Before getting into specifics, it helps to understand our role: we point visitors toward florists and delivery providers operating in the Providence County area. When you decide to place an order through a link on our site, you're typically handed off to an independent business that handles the transaction, fulfillment, and your payment details entirely on its own systems. That company's privacy practices - not ours - govern whatever happens after the handoff. We encourage you to review their policy before submitting any personal or payment information to them.

2. Information You Choose to Share With Us

Our contact form is the main (and really the only) place where you actively hand over information. If you use it, we'll receive:

- Your name
- Your email address
- Whatever message content you type in

We use these details solely to respond to your question, comment, or request. Nothing more is required to browse the site, and you're always free to skip the contact form altogether if you'd rather not share this information - you just won't hear back from us on whatever you would have asked.

3. Information Gathered Automatically

Like most websites, ours picks up certain technical details automatically as part of normal operation. This includes things like your IP address, the type of browser and device you're using, which pages you viewed and how you navigated between them, the site or search engine that referred you here, and a rough geographic location derived from your IP address (typically city or region level - not precise coordinates or a street address).

This category of data is collected passively; there's no toggle to turn it off short of adjusting your browser or network settings.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We rely on cookies and comparable tracking tools to keep the site functional and to understand how it's being used. Some cookies are essential for basic features to work properly; others support analytics or help us and our advertising/affiliate partners measure how well referral links are performing.

Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their settings menus. If you disable cookies, portions of the site may not behave as intended, but the core experience of browsing florist listings should still work fine.

5. Why We Collect Any of This

Putting the pieces together, here's what the information described above actually gets used for:

- Keeping the website running smoothly and fixing problems as they come up
- Making improvements to layout, content, and navigation based on how people actually use the site
- Replying to messages submitted through the contact form
- Measuring how effective our referral and affiliate links are at connecting visitors with delivery providers
- Spotting and preventing abuse, spam, or other misuse of the site

We are not in the business of selling your personal information to third parties, and we don't share contact-form submissions with outside companies for their own marketing purposes.

6. Analytics Providers

We use third-party analytics services - tools such as Google Analytics or similar platforms - to understand traffic patterns and site performance. These providers collect data (like the automatic information described in Section 3) according to their own privacy policies and terms, which operate independently of ours. We'd suggest checking Google's privacy documentation, for instance, if you want details on how they specifically handle analytics data.

7. How Long We Keep Things

Contact form submissions are generally retained only as long as needed to address your inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward in case follow-up is useful - we don't keep a growing archive of old messages indefinitely. Analytics data, which is managed largely through our third-party providers, is typically retained according to those providers' standard retention windows (often a period of months), after which it's aggregated or deleted per their practices.

8. Choices Available to You

You have a few practical options if you'd like to limit what's collected:

- Skip the contact form if you don't want to share your name, email, or a message with us
- Adjust your browser settings to block or limit cookies
- Use opt-out tools offered by analytics providers (Google, for example, offers a browser add-on that disables its tracking) where such tools are available
- Use browser privacy modes or extensions that limit tracking scripts generally

None of these choices will prevent you from viewing florist listings or general site content - they mainly affect the auxiliary data we and our partners collect.

9. Children's Privacy

This site is built for a general adult audience researching flower delivery options and isn't directed at children. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has submitted information through our contact form, we'll take steps to delete it.

10. Keeping Information Reasonably Secure

We take reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect, whether that's contact form submissions or automatically-gathered analytics data. That said, no method of storing or transmitting data online can be guaranteed as completely secure, and we can't promise perfect protection against every possible breach or unauthorized access.

11. Third-Party Sites and Redirects

Since ordering flowers through this site typically means being redirected to an independent delivery service, we want to reiterate: once you leave atwoodflorist.com, this policy no longer applies. Any information you provide to that third party - including payment details - falls under their privacy policy, not ours. We'd recommend reviewing it before completing an order.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, applicable law, or the tools we use. When updates are made, we'll post the revised version here with a new "Last updated" date at the top. Continuing to use the site after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
