Privacy Policy

Official Privacy Policy of Shroot Ltd

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Shroot Ltd we have a few fundamental principles:

• We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
• We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
• We do not store customer credit card details.
• We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
• In our profile pages and portfolio creation products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:

Shroot Ltd operates www.kabloom.co.uk, www.facebook.com/seedbom and www.instagram.com/seedbom, and it is our competition’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Shroot Ltd collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Shroot Ltd’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Shroot Ltd’s visitors use its website. From time to time Shroot Ltd may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Shroot Ltd also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Shroot Ltd does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Shroot Ltd’s websites choose to interact with Shroot Ltd in ways that require Shroot Ltd to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Shroot Ltd gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who join our mailing to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Shroot Ltd – by entering a competition for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal information. In each case, Shroot Ltd collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Shroot Ltd. Shroot Ltd does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Shroot Ltd may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. For instance, Shroot Ltd may monitor the most popular products on the kabloom.co.uk site. Shroot Ltd may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Shroot Ltd does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Shroot Ltd discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Shroot Ltd’s behalf or to provide services available at Shroot Ltd’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Shroot Ltd’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Shroot Ltd will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Shroot Ltd discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Shroot Ltd believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Shroot Ltd, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Shroot Ltd website and have supplied your email address, Shroot Ltd may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Shroot Ltd and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Shroot Ltd takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
