If you are a resident of one of the EU countries or other covered nations and the processing of personal information about you by the Website is subject to the GDPR, you have certain rights with respect to that information, in all cases subject to applicable law. Some questions of GDPR applicability to non-EU businesses are relatively new, and so the correct interpretation of these laws is not yet settled in some cases. In those cases, we will make a good-faith effort to comply with the law as applicable.

​

This section applies only if you are an EU resident and we (1) are established in the EU and a data controller or processor; (2) are processing personal data of data subjects who are in the EU, where the processing activities are related to: (a) the offering of goods or services, paid or free, to consumers in the EU; or (b) the monitoring of behavior that takes place within the EU. (GDPR or analogous rights and obligations also apply to persons in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland.)
 

You have the following rights:

1.    A right of information - you may ask that we confirm whether or not we are processing your personal data.

2.    A right of access - you may ask to access your personal data we are processing; you may ask to receive a copy of the personal data that you previously provided to us in a portable and machine-readable format.

3.    A right of correction - you may correct incorrect, inaccurate, or incomplete personal data.

4.    A right of deletion - you may ask that we delete personal data it’s no longer needed or if processing it is unlawful.

5.    A right of opt-out - you may opt out of the processing of the personal data for marketing purposes or on certain other grounds relating to your particular situation.

6.    A right of restriction - you may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data in specific cases.

7.    A right to human oversight of automated processing or decision-making, including a right of participation and a right to appeal.

​

Please make any of your requests under EU law, as applicable, using one of these methods: support@bloomingenergies.com or here: 2033 N Ashley Street, Valdosta, GA, 31602

​

We have the following related obligations, subject to applicable law:

1.    Timely response to your requests.

·         We have to respond to your requests without undue delay and in any event within 1 month after receipt of the request. We may extend that period by two further months when necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of the requests. We have to inform you of any such extension within 1 month after receipt of your request, together with the reasons for the delay.

·         In general, we will provide information in response to your requests without charge, unless the requests are unfounded, excessive, or repetitive. In those cases, we may elect to refuse your request in the absence of payment of a reasonable fee.

2.    We have the following obligations:​

• To process data lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner

• To process data in connection with limited purpose for which it was provided

• To minimize the data collected in relation to the purpose of its processing

• To keep data accurate and up to date

• To limit storage of data when no longer needed

• To keep data secure and protected against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage

3.    If there’s a data breach, we have to notify users “as quickly as possible.” We have 72 hours to notify the appropriate supervisory authority. Note that if we are not established or operating in the EU, there is no applicable supervisory authority.

4.    If we are required to appoint a data protection officer, we must also inform you of the identity and contact information for the data processing officer.

​

We have determined that we are not required to have a named Data Protection Officer. Blooms and Stones will nevertheless respond to all requests in accordance with applicable law.

​

We will not deny, charge different prices for, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services if you choose to exercise these rights.
