Data Sharing and Third-Party Partnerships
Veridian Bloom upholds a strict policy regarding data sharing: your information is never sold.

These partners are primarily involved in secure data hosting, payment processing, analytical services, and secure communication platforms.

- Marketing Partnerships: Any data sharing with marketing partners, such as for personalized advertisements on other platforms, explicitly requires your opt-in consent. You retain full control over these preferences.
- Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law or in response to valid legal processes, such as a court order or subpoena. In such cases, we strive to notify you beforehand, unless legally prohibited.
- Data Transfer Security: For any necessary data transfers, whether interstate or, if applicable, international, we employ advanced encryption and secure protocols to protect your information during transit.
We meticulously select our partners to ensure they meet our rigorous privacy and security benchmarks, upholding the trust you place in Veridian Bloom.
