We may analyze personal and professional information (including occupation and industry data) for historical, statistical, or scientific purposes, or we may store the personal information for your convenience should you return to the Site in the future.

By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. By agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you are consenting to our continued use of previously collected information under the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Direct Marketing

We may use all information collected at the Site for direct marketing and e-marketing purposes including the sharing of the information with our affiliates or third parties unless you specifically request that it not be used for that purpose.

Links to Other Sites; Third Party Services; Your Credit/Debit Card Information

For your convenience, the Site might contain certain hyperlinks to other websites as well as to third party websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected on this Site and not to information collected on linked sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave this Site and to read the privacy statements of each and every linked site that collects your personal information.

We might only request and obtain your credit card information in a non-electronic format at live events or at our retail location in order to make a payment using our third-party credit/debit card processing company. Thus, credit card information is used for payment processing purposes only. We use a credit/debit card processing company to process the users credit/debit card charges for products, retrieval requests and chargebacks. We do not retain, share, store or use personal information for any secondary purposes (subject to legal requirements) and will exercise reasonable care to prevent disclosure or use of credit/debit card information.

Merchant Services Provider

Your payment information is collected by the Website in an encrypted form and is passed on to the Company’s merchant services provider, Affinipay (www.affinipay.com) and the payment gateway provided by Authorize.net (the “Merchant Services Provider”), for purposes of securing payment between yourself and the Company. The Merchant Services Provider only receives information necessary to verify that any payments between yourself and the Company are authorized. The Merchant Services Provider will use encrypted tools to communicate with your bank, your credit card provider, PayPal, or whatever other account you use to pay for orders to the Company. Your credit card information or other payment information is not retained by the Company except as provided below or in select cases where wholesale clients have specifically instructed us to retain their card information in our password-protected, local file at our office. The Company does not maintain records of your credit card number or other payment information per se, except that if your billing address is the same as your shipping address and you instruct the Website to enter the same billing address as your payment address, the Website will use your stored shipping address as your billing address.

The Merchant Services Provider may receive requests from your bank, credit card provider, PayPal, or other payment provider in order to verify your transactions. The Merchant Services Provider may therefore periodically ask the Company to confirm certain of your order information, which the Company will provide if the Company believes that an order has been placed by you.

The Merchant Services Provider is a third party for purposes of the GDPR.

Children's Information

We are committed to protecting the privacy needs of children and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children's online activities. We do not target the Site to children less than 13 years of age or knowingly collect information from children for the purpose of selling products or services.

Sensitive Information

We ask that, unless specifically requested by us, you not send Blissoma, and you not disclose, any sensitive personal information (e.g., information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, criminal background or trade union membership) on or through the Site. We may request only for verification purposes that you verify certain sensitive personal information on a case-by-case basis to respond to your inquiry or improve our Site or provider directory. To the extent you provide any personal information, the disclosure is subject to the terms of the section of this policy entitled “User Generated Information.”

Third Party Advertisers

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Site. Please note that these companies may use information about your visit to the Site in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. In the course of serving advertisements to this Site, these companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, please visit http://networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp.

Information Security

We use commercially reasonable methods consistent with industry practice to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. While we consider these policies and procedures to be adequate, there is still a risk that your personal information could be misappropriated. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information. If you have any questions about security on our site, you can send an email to us at email address specified below.
