Protecting Your Well-being, Inside and Out

Your Privacy is Our Priority

Veridian Bloom is built on a foundation of trust. We understand the sensitive nature of health and wellness information, which is why we meticulously adhere to stringent privacy standards, including principles inspired by HIPAA compliance, to ensure your data is always protected.

Our philosophy is simple: Your data belongs to you. We are transparent about what information we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used. We never sell your personal data to third parties.

For any privacy-related inquiries or to exercise your data rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].

What Information We Collect and Why

To provide you with personalized wellness insights and a seamless experience, Veridian Bloom collects certain types of information. We only collect what is necessary to deliver our services effectively.

• Personal Identifiable Information (PII): This includes your name, email address, and demographic details (like age range, general location, gender) provided during registration. This helps us personalize content and connect you with relevant community members.
• Health & Wellness Data: Information you voluntarily provide, such as fitness goals, dietary preferences, sleep patterns, and mindfulness practices. This data is used to tailor lifestyle suggestions, nutritional advice, and wellness challenges specifically for you.
• Usage Data: We automatically collect data on how you interact with our website and app, including pages viewed, features used, and time spent. This helps us improve our platform's functionality and user experience.
• Communication Data: Records of your interactions with our support team or participation in forums are collected to improve service quality and foster a supportive community.

All collected health data is used to enhance your personalized journey and is kept strictly confidential. Data retention periods are dictated by service necessity and legal obligations, with clear policies for secure deletion upon request.

How We Protect Your Information

Security is not just a feature; it's ingrained in every layer of Veridian Bloom's infrastructure. We employ a multi-faceted approach to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

• Encryption: All data, both in transit and at rest, is secured using industry-standard encryption protocols (e.g., TLS for transmission, AES-256 for storage).
• Access Controls: Strict internal access controls ensure that only authorized personnel with a legitimate business need can access sensitive data. All employees receive regular data protection training.
• Regular Audits: Independent third-party security audits and vulnerability assessments are conducted regularly to identify and mitigate potential risks.
• Incident Response: We have robust incident response procedures in place to detect, contain, and resolve any security incidents promptly, with clear user notification policies.
• Vetted Partners: Any third-party service providers are rigorously vetted for their security practices and must adhere to our stringent data protection standards.

Third-Party Sharing and Service Integrations

Veridian Bloom primarily uses aggregated, anonymized data for analytical purposes to improve our services. When it comes to sharing your identifiable information with third parties, our policy is highly restrictive and transparent:

• Limited Sharing: We only share personal data with third-party service providers (e.g., payment processors, analytics tools) when absolutely necessary for platform operation, and always under strict confidentiality agreements. This never includes selling your data.
• Health Integrations: If you choose to integrate with external health apps (e.g., fitness trackers), explicit consent is always required, and you maintain control over data flow.
• Anonymized Data: For research and service improvement, we use aggregated and anonymized data that cannot be linked back to individual users.
• Marketing Partners: We do not share your personal health information with marketing partners. Any marketing communications from Veridian Bloom are managed internally and adhere to your opt-out preferences.

You can review and manage your third-party integration preferences and data sharing settings within your Veridian Bloom account at any time.

• Material Changes: A material change is defined as any modification that significantly alters how we collect, use, or share your personal data. Your continued use of the service after such notification constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
