Welcome to FruitTreeLand.com, where we value your privacy as much as we value healthy soil for our heirloom fruit trees. This Privacy Policy explains how Alpha Shop (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our online nursery.

1. Information We Collect

Like carefully tending to our berry bushes, we only collect what’s necessary to help your garden grow:

  • Personal Information: When you make a purchase, we collect your name, email address, shipping address, and payment details (processed securely through our payment partners).
  • Garden Preferences: Information you provide about your growing zone or plant interests to help us recommend suitable varieties.
  • Technical Data: Browser type, IP address, and device information to improve your browsing experience.
  • Usage Data: How you navigate our site, similar to tracking which plants our gardeners browse most.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data with the same care we give to our espalier trees:

  • To process your orders and deliver your plants safely
  • To provide customer support for your gardening questions
  • To improve our website and product offerings
  • To send you relevant gardening tips and offers (only with your consent)
  • To comply with legal requirements, just as we follow agricultural regulations

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We treat your information like rare cultivars—with protection and respect:

  • Service Providers: We share necessary information with payment processors (Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, etc.) and shipping carriers to fulfill your orders.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, such as customs declarations for international plant shipments.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, customer information may be transferred, just as we’d carefully transplant a mature tree.
  • Never Sold: We do not sell your personal information to third-party marketers.

4. Data Storage & Security

We protect your data with the same vigilance we use to safeguard our nursery:

  • Encryption technology for all sensitive transactions
  • Secure servers protected by industry-standard measures
  • Regular security audits, like checking our plants for pests
  • Data retention only as long as necessary for business or legal purposes

5. Your Rights

You have control over your information, just as you do in your garden:

  • Access: Request a copy of your personal data we hold
  • Correction: Update inaccurate information
  • Deletion: Request removal of your data (subject to legal requirements)
  • Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications
  • Restrict Processing: Limit how we use your data

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We’ll respond as promptly as we answer questions about blackberry care.

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Like using bamboo stakes to support growing plants, we use cookies to support your experience:

  • Essential Cookies: Necessary for site functionality (e.g., shopping cart)
  • Performance Cookies: Help us improve our website
  • Marketing Cookies: Used only with your consent to show relevant ads

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features, much like skipping pruning affects fruit production.

7. International Data Transfers

While we can’t ship plants to Asia due to agricultural restrictions, our website is accessible globally. Data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, protected by appropriate safeguards.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under 16. We don’t knowingly collect data from young gardeners without parental consent.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our nursery grows. Significant changes will be communicated through our website or email, giving you time to review like you’d acclimate a new plant.
