Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Kataleia collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit kataleia.com, apply for a wholesale account, or place an order. Kataleia is a business-to-business (B2B) service in the United States: our accounts are for verified businesses such as florists, event and wedding designers, studios, and venues. We do not knowingly serve consumers, and this policy is written for the people who run those businesses.
Information we collect
- Account & company information: business name, business type, address, tax or licensing details you provide during application and review, and the credentials used to sign in.
- Contact information: the name, email address, and phone number of the people who manage your account.
- Order history: products ordered, quantities, prices, shipping addresses, delivery details, tracking, and any claims you submit.
- Site usage: pages viewed, device and browser details, and similar analytics collected through cookies, Google Tag Manager, and Google Analytics. These analytics tags load only after you give consent through our cookie banner.
How we use your information
- To review and approve account applications and verify that an applicant is an eligible business.
- To operate your account, show your company catalog pricing, and process and fulfill orders.
- To arrange delivery, provide tracking, and handle freshness or damage claims.
- To communicate about orders, account status, and service updates.
- To secure the site, prevent fraud, and meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
- To understand and improve how the site performs, using consented analytics.
Lawful basis
Where data protection law requires a lawful basis, we rely on the performance of our contract with your business (operating your account and orders), our legitimate interests (running, securing, and improving a B2B service and preventing fraud), compliance with legal obligations, and your consent for non-essential cookies and analytics. You can withdraw consent for analytics at any time through the cookie banner.
How we share information
We do not sell your information. We share it only with service providers who process it on our behalf, under contract, for the purposes above:
- Shopify for secure checkout and payment processing at shop.kataleia.com.
- Analytics providers (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics) for consented site-usage measurement.
- Email and shipping carriers for transactional messages and delivery.
We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
Cookies
We use necessary cookies to run core functions such as the cart, sign-in, and security. Analytics and other non-essential cookies load only after consent, managed through Google Consent Mode. For full detail and your choices, see our Cookie Policy.
Data retention
We keep account, order, and claims records for as long as your account is active and afterward only as needed to meet legal, tax, accounting, and dispute-resolution requirements. Analytics data is retained for a limited period and in line with provider settings. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
Security
We use technical and organizational measures appropriate to a B2B service to protect your information, and payment processing is handled through Shopify's secure checkout. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data and limit access to those who need it.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, or to withdraw consent, email info@kataleia.com. We may need to verify your identity and your authority to act for the business account before responding.
Updates to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page, and continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
