Your privacy is critically important to us. At SSEIB, we have a few fundamental principles:
We are South & South East In Bloom (SSEIB). We own and operate this website.
This Privacy Policy applies to information that we collect about you when you use the website at http://www.sseib.com.
We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so – for example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to improve our Services. Let’s go over the information that we collect.
Information You Provide to Us
It’s probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us. The amount and type of information depend on the context and how we use it.
If you complete one of our forms, you provide personal information that is required to process entries and enquiries, such as your name and contact information. We do not process or store any personal payment details on sseib.com
Information Automatically Collected
Like most online service providers, our servers automatically log information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information. This data is strictly necessary to prevent fraud and ensure network and information security.
We do not sell our users’ private personal information. We share information about you in the limited circumstances set out below, with appropriate safeguards for your privacy.
Subsidiaries and Employees
We may disclose information about you to our subsidiaries for the sole purpose of fulfilling orders. We require our subsidiaries and employees to follow this Privacy Policy for personal information that we share with them.
Legal Requests
We may disclose information about you in response to a court order or other governmental request.
Business Transfers
In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that SSEIB goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events were to happen, this Privacy Policy would continue to apply to your information, and the party receiving your information may continue to use your information, but only consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Information Shared Publicly
We will never share your information publicly
We generally discard information about you when we no longer need it for the purposes for which we collect and use it – and we are not legally required to continue to retain it. For example, we keep web server logs that record information about visitors to sseib.com, such as IP addresses, browser types, and operating systems, for approximately 30 days. We retain the logs for this period to analyse traffic and investigate issues if something goes wrong.
While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect your information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so, such as monitoring our Services for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
We use cookies to provide specific essential and non-essential functionality on sseib.com – please see our Cookie Policy for more information.
Suppose you are located in certain countries, including those that fall under the scope of the European General Data Protection Regulation (AKA the “GDPR”). In that case, data protection laws give you rights with respect to your personal data, subject to any exemptions provided by the law, including the rights to:
You can contact us at anne@sseib.com to request any of the above actions. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are who you say you are. Once we have responded to this email, we will take action as soon as possible.
EU individuals also have the right to make a complaint to a government supervisory authority.
If you have a question about this Privacy Policy, or you would like to contact us about any of the rights mentioned, please get in touch with us at kate@sseib.com or by writing to us at:
