b. Information collected by automated means

When you use and interact with the Services, we automatically receive certain information about your device, browser, and/or activity:

  • Device and usage information: Our servers will record information about the device you use to connect to the Services and your usage of the Services. This includes your device's IP address, device type, browser type, internet service provider, operating system, and unique device identifiers. It also includes activity information, such as the frequency of your usage, duration, the pages you navigate to, links you click, and other interactions with the Services. We also use third-party services that employ software code to record users' interactions with the Services. Session replays include users' clicks, mouse movements, scrolls, and keystrokes during those sessions to help diagnose usability problems and identify areas for improvement.
  • Location Information: When you access the Services, we may collect information about your device's location. If you allow the Services to access location services through the permission system used by your device's operating system or browser, we may collect the precise location of your device. We use your location information to facilitate the prompt hand-off of pickup orders (where available), assist you in finding nearby stores, and for analytic purposes. You can choose whether or not your device's location information is shared with us by adjusting the settings on your device or browser, or when prompted by the Bouquet application. We may also infer your general location by using your device's IP address.
  • Cookies, Pixels, and Other Tracking Technologies: When you interact with Bouquet, we (and our partners, advertisers, and third-party advertising networks) may automatically collect information about you using device identifiers, cookies, pixels, and similar technologies. We use this information for various purposes, including to make Bouquet function properly, understand how you use the Services, personalize your experience, and measure, manage, display, and customize the advertisements you see. Our partners, advertisers, and third-party advertising networks may also use these technologies to collect information about your online activity over time and across different websites or online services. Browsers provide choices with respect to these technologies, such as accepting all cookies or being notified when a cookie is set.
  • Analytics: We use third-party analytics providers who may deploy cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to analyze traffic to the Services and understand the usage of the Services as well as the performance of advertisements. For example, we use Google Analytics, an analytics tool that helps us understand how our customers engage with the Services. To learn more about Google Analytics' data practices, please visit Google's support page.
  • Interest-Based or Online Behavioral Advertising: To make your experience on Bouquet more engaging, we may participate in interest-based advertising using cookies, pixels, and other tracking technologies. This means that you may see advertisements while using the Services that are tailored to you, or you may see advertisements for Bouquet on other online services, based on your use of the Services or your browsing behavior across other online services. Some services where we may advertise belong to ad networks that use your web browsing history to choose which advertisements to display on their network services, which may include advertisements from Bouquet. You can learn more about interest-based advertising and navigate to options that will allow you to exercise your rights to opt out of online behavioral advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative's Learn More Page or the Digital Advertising Alliance. In addition, some internet browsers, websites/platforms, and mobile devices allow you to exercise certain choices with respect to interest-based advertising. Please refer to the website you are visiting, your browser, and/or your mobile device settings for additional information. Even if you opt-out using the tools listed above, you may continue to see advertisements from Bouquet and/or our partners; however, these advertisements will not be as relevant to you.
  • Do Not Track: "Do Not Track" ("DNT") is a developing standard for web browsers that aims to inform the websites you visit that you do not want information about your online activity collected over time and across third-party websites or online services. Although we do our best to honor the privacy preferences of our users, we do not interpret or respond to DNT or other similar signals from your browser at this time.
