Privacy Policy


Last updated: September 15, 2026

Who we are

Bloom-a-Bean™ is part of The Bloom Umbrella™. This privacy policy applies to the Bloom-a-Bean website at https://www.bloomabean.com and its online store.

Questions about this policy or the personal information we hold may be sent to hello@thebloomumbrella.com.

Information we collect

We may collect information that you provide when you:

  • purchase a product or resource;
  • create or manage an account;
  • contact us or submit a form;
  • request customer support;
  • subscribe to communications; or
  • otherwise interact with the website.

This information may include your name, email address, billing or shipping information, order details, account information and the contents of messages you send us.

The website may also automatically collect limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, pages visited and information stored through cookies.

Orders and payments

We use WooCommerce to operate the online store. Information necessary to process and fulfil an order may be shared with service providers that support website hosting, payment processing, email delivery, digital-product delivery, fraud prevention and other essential store functions.

Payments are processed through the payment method selected at checkout. Bloom-a-Bean does not intentionally store complete payment-card numbers on its website.

How we use personal information

We use personal information to:

  • process, confirm and fulfil purchases;
  • deliver digital or physical products;
  • provide customer service;
  • maintain accounts and transaction records;
  • prevent fraud, spam, misuse and security incidents;
  • operate and improve the website;
  • comply with legal, tax, accounting and regulatory obligations; and
  • send marketing communications where consent has been provided.

We do not sell personal information.

Cookies and similar technologies

The website may use cookies required for shopping-cart functions, checkout, account access, security and basic site operation. Optional analytics or marketing technologies may also be used where enabled.

You may control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may prevent the shopping cart, checkout or account features from working properly.

When information may be shared

Personal information may be shared only as reasonably necessary with service providers that help us operate the store and deliver purchases. These providers may include hosting, payment, email, analytics, security and delivery services.

Information may also be disclosed where required by law, to respond to a lawful request, to protect legal rights or safety, or in connection with a legitimate business reorganization.

Some service providers may process information outside Canada. When this occurs, the information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed.

How long we retain information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including order fulfilment, customer support, fraud prevention and legal, tax and accounting requirements.

Order and transaction records may be retained where required for legitimate business or legal purposes, even if an account is closed.

Children’s privacy

Bloom-a-Bean offers educational resources for children, but purchases and website accounts are intended to be managed by parents, guardians, educators or other authorized adults.

We do not knowingly request children to submit personal information directly through the website. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information without appropriate authorization may contact us to request its review or removal.

Your choices and rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask to:

  • access personal information we hold about you;
  • correct inaccurate information;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
  • request deletion of information that we are not legally required to retain; or
  • unsubscribe from marketing communications.

To make a request, contact hello@thebloomumbrella.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect personal information. No website or electronic transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our services, practices or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
