Welcome to Pistils Nursery! This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from pistilsnursery.com (the “Site”).

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

  • “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

  • “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers, PayPal and Amazon Pay), email address, and phone number. The information we collect about gift recipients is not used for marketing purposes. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

Additionally if you fill out a form on our website, such as a contact form, mailing list sign-up / pop-up form, or comment on a blog post, we or one of our data processors may store relevant information you have consented to provide us, such as your email address and other personal information required by the form.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns). In addition, we use the Device Information for the purposes of Behavioral Advertising, as described below.
