A. Personally-Identifiable Information:
America In Bloom typically receives specific data about its website visitors only when such information is provided voluntarily, such as when our visitors request information, purchase or enroll for services, open a customer support inquiry ticket, provide resume information for employment opportunities, or send us e-mail. Of course, some of these activities require that you give us information, such as when you make a purchase, use a credit card to pay for services, submit your resume, or request certain types of information. When you provide personally-identifiable information to America In Bloom through one of our websites, it will be used to fulfill your specific request. In most cases, you will be given the opportunity to select whether you do, or do not, want America In Bloom to use this information for additional purposes. You may also request that America In Bloom not use your information by sending an e-mail to privacy@AmericaInBloom.org, however, America In Bloom reserves the right, in its discretion, to send you bulletins and other important information about your America In Bloom services.

America In Bloom gathers this information for the limited purpose of determining customer service and website needs. We accomplish this by using certain technologies, including “cookies” (a technology that can be used to provide the visitor with tailored information about America In Bloom services).
