Privacy Policy

Our Policy Regarding Your Privacy

At Sunrise Botanics, we value our customers and respect their privacy rights and concerns. This is the Internet Privacy Policy for Sunrise Botanics in which we explain our purposes and policies for the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices and let us know if you have any questions by either:

  • Emailing our Customer Service team at info@sunrisebotanics.com, or
  • Calling our toll-free number at 1-888-612-6461 Monday - Friday from 9:00AM – 5:00PM ET

This privacy policy describes how Sunrise Botanics collects and uses the personal information you provide on our Website: www.sunrisebotanics.com or www.sunrisebotanics.ca for your use of the services or when you purchase products from Sunrise Botanics, features and content offered by Sunrise Botanics.

Sunrise Botanics is committed to protecting all the information you share with us. We follow stringent procedures to help protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of data stored on Sunrise Botanics systems.

Only those employees who need access to your information in order to perform their duties are allowed such access. Any employee who violates our privacy and/or security policies is subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination and civil and/or criminal prosecution. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

The Information We Collect

Sunrise Botanics collects information by various methods including information actively provided by its customers through our websites for the following purposes: to contact you to subscribe to e-mail newsletters, customer surveys, send you marketing material, enter contests, email promotions and provide general feedback. In addition, we collect information when processing sales, refunds and exchanges on-line to help us prevent fraud as well. Where required under law, we ask you for your express consent and inform you as to why we are collecting this information at the time you provide it. Sometimes your consent can be implied (for example, non-sensitive information knowingly supplied by you to our website).

The types of personal information we may collect include your name, address, phone number, email contact information, and purchasing information.

How We Use This Information

We collect personal information to establish and maintain responsible commercial relationships with our customers, to manage and develop our business and operations and to meet legal and regulatory requirements. Some examples, in addition to the other purposes set out under "The Information We Collect", include collecting and using personal information to contact you for marketing surveys to improve our customer offerings, and for soliciting customer service feedback to improve our ability to serve your needs.

On-line merchandise sales, refunds and exchanges:

You will be asked to provide your payment information, address, and phone number to complete sales and delivery transactions or, in the case of refunds your original packing slip and restocking fees, for audit and fraud prevention purposes.

On-line purchases and Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect the information we collect online. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit or Visa Debit card number) on our order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") technology is used to protect the security of your credit card information as it is transmitted. SSL is the industry standard for secure commerce transactions. It is designed to prevent your personal information from being read by someone else as it travels across the Internet. All of your personal information is encrypted, including credit card number, name and address.

We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. Please note, however, that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on the Website, you can contact us at info@sunrisebotanics.com.
