6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Sites use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate, improve, and personalize your experience.

6.1 Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly necessary cookies: required for the Sites to function (such as session identifiers and form-submission tokens). These cannot be disabled without breaking core Site functionality.
• Performance and analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors interact with the Sites (such as which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and where they came from). We use these to improve the Sites.
• Functional cookies: remember your preferences (such as your chosen county or product interest) so you don’t have to re-enter them.
• Advertising and marketing cookies: used to deliver relevant advertisements to you on FLO’s Sites and on third-party websites. These may be set by us or by our advertising partners.

6.2 Specific Tracking Technologies

The Sites currently use:

6.3 Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view what cookies are set on your device, delete cookies, block cookies from specific sites or all sites, and receive notifications when cookies are being set.

Disabling cookies may affect Site functionality. The Sites currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals, although we honor opt-out requests submitted directly to us at the contact information in Section 13.

Regardless of where you live, you may:

• Correct: request that we correct inaccurate information
• Delete: request that we delete your personal information, subject to legal exceptions (such as records we are required to retain for tax or warranty purposes)
• Opt out of marketing: unsubscribe from marketing emails (link at the bottom of every marketing email) or text messages (reply STOP)
• Withdraw consent: where we rely on your consent, withdraw it at any time

To exercise these rights, contact us using the information in Section 13.

8.2 Rights for California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

• Right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell or share
• Right to delete personal information, subject to legal exceptions
• Right to correct inaccurate personal information
• Right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising
• Right to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information
• Right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights
• Right to designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. We may “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising (such as through Meta and Google advertising). To opt out, contact us at [email protected] or use the contact information in Section 13.

8.3 Rights for Residents of Other U.S. States

Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Indiana, Tennessee, Montana, Iowa, Delaware, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, Rhode Island, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws have rights similar to those described above, subject to each state’s specific requirements and exemptions.

8.4 Rights for Florida Residents

The Florida Digital Bill of Rights (FDBR) generally applies to companies with more than $1 billion in global annual revenue. Florida Living Outdoor does not meet this threshold, so the FDBR’s specific consumer rights provisions do not apply to us. However, FLO voluntarily extends to all Florida residents the same access, correction, deletion, and opt-out rights described in Section 8.1.

8.5 Rights for Residents of the European Union, United Kingdom, and Switzerland

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or equivalent law, including the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and to withdraw consent. We rely on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where applicable, or other appropriate safeguards, for international data transfers.

If you have an unresolved concern, you may contact your local data protection authority or, in the United Kingdom, the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

8.6 How to Submit a Request

To exercise any privacy right, contact us:

• Email: [email protected]
• Mail: Privacy Request, Florida Living Outdoor, 1579 Walsh Street, Oviedo, FL 32765
• Phone: (386) 463-8494

We will verify your identity before fulfilling requests. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law (typically 45 days, with possible extensions). We do not charge a fee for reasonable requests, and we do not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

If we deny your request, we will explain the basis. You have the right to appeal our decision by contacting us at the same address marked “Privacy Appeal.” If we deny your appeal, you may file a complaint with your state Attorney General or applicable regulatory authority.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include encryption of data in transit and at rest where appropriate, access controls limiting employee access to personal information, vendor agreements requiring third parties to protect information, and regular review of our security practices.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a breach of personal information that requires notification under the Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA) or other applicable law, we will notify affected individuals and authorities as required by law.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to:

• Provide services you have requested
• Maintain business records and respond to warranty claims (typically the longer of 7 years or the warranty period of installed products)
• Comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations
• Resolve disputes and enforce agreements
• Improve our services through research and analytics (using de-identified or aggregated information where possible)

When retention is no longer necessary, we delete or anonymize the information.

11. Children’s Privacy

The Sites and services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the information in Section 13 and we will take steps to delete it.

For minors between 13 and 18, parental consent may be required for certain transactions involving installation services. We do not knowingly market to minors.

• Update the “Effective Date” and “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy
• Post the updated policy on the Sites
• Notify you by email or through the Sites at least 30 days before material changes take effect, where practical and required by law

Your continued use of the Sites after the updated policy takes effect constitutes acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with the updated policy, you should stop using the Sites and request that we delete your information.
