Privacy Policy - Astoria Flower Delivery

Last updated: July 2026

Astoria Flower Delivery (queensfloristny.com) helps people across Queens find flower delivery services quickly and easily. We are not a florist, and we do not process orders or payments ourselves - instead, we point visitors toward independent flower delivery providers who handle fulfillment on their own terms. Because trust matters when you're sending flowers to someone you care about, we want to be upfront about what happens with your information when you visit our site.

1. The Role of This Website

This is a referral and information resource. There's no account to create, no login, and no payment processing on our end. If you decide to place an order after browsing our site, you'll typically be redirected to a third-party flower delivery company that will handle the transaction. That company operates under its own privacy policy and terms, which govern any information you provide to them directly. We encourage you to review those policies before completing a purchase elsewhere.

2. Information You Give Us Directly

The main way we collect information directly is through our contact form. If you choose to reach out to us, we'll receive whatever you submit - typically your name, your email address, and the content of your message. We don't ask for anything beyond what's needed to respond to you, and providing this information is always optional; if you'd rather not share it, you simply don't have to use the form.

3. Information Gathered Automatically

Like most websites, ours picks up certain technical details automatically as you browse, without you having to type anything in. This includes things like your IP address, the type of browser and device you're using, which pages you viewed and how long you stayed, the site or search engine that referred you to us, and a rough geographic location inferred from your IP address (generally city- or region-level, not precise). None of this is tied to your name unless you've also filled out our contact form.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and comparable tracking technologies for a few purposes: keeping basic site functions working smoothly, understanding how visitors use the site, and - where applicable - tracking the performance of affiliate or referral links to flower delivery partners. Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their settings menus, and you're free to adjust those settings at any time. Keep in mind that disabling cookies entirely may affect how well certain parts of the site function.

5. Analytics Services We Use

We rely on third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics or similar services, to understand traffic patterns and improve the site over time. These providers may use their own cookies or tracking pixels and collect data according to their own separate privacy policies, which we don't control. If you'd like to limit this kind of tracking, many analytics providers offer opt-out browser extensions or settings, and your browser's do-not-track or privacy controls may also apply.

6. Why We Use the Information We Collect

Broadly speaking, we use the information described above to:

- Keep the website running properly and make improvements based on how it's actually used
- Respond to messages and questions submitted through our contact form
- Measure how well referral and affiliate links to delivery partners are performing
- Identify and prevent spam, abuse, or other misuse of the site

We don't use this information for anything beyond these purposes, and we don't build advertising profiles to sell to outside marketers.

7. We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information

To be direct: we do not sell your personal information to third parties, and we never have. Any sharing that happens is limited to the service providers described in this policy (like analytics vendors) who process data on our behalf, or the independent delivery companies you're voluntarily redirected to when you choose to place an order.

8. How Long We Keep Information

Contact form submissions are generally retained only as long as needed to address your inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward in case of follow-up, after which they're deleted or archived in a way that limits further use. Analytics data is typically retained according to the standard retention windows set by our analytics provider, which commonly range from several months to a couple of years, after which it's aggregated or removed automatically.

9. Your Choices

You're in control of quite a bit here. You can decline to fill out the contact form and browse the site anonymously. You can adjust your browser's cookie settings to block or limit tracking. And where analytics providers offer opt-out tools, you're welcome to use them to reduce the data collected during your visits. None of these choices will prevent you from using the core informational parts of our site.

10. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age, and if we become aware that we have, we'll take steps to delete it promptly.

11. Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect, including limiting access to contact form submissions and using standard safeguards for the systems we rely on. That said, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we can't guarantee absolute protection against every possible risk.

12. Updates to This Policy

We may revise this policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, the tools we use, or applicable law. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the site after changes are posted means you accept the revised policy, so we'd encourage checking back from time to time if you have concerns.
