1. General provisions
This Privacy Policy describes what personal data Buketeria (hereinafter "we", "the store", "the operator") collects when you use the buketeria.az website (hereinafter "the Site"), how we process, store, and protect it.
By using the Site or placing an order, you confirm your agreement with this Policy.

2. Data we collect
We only collect data necessary to provide our services:
- Contact details: name, phone number, email address
- Delivery details: recipient's address, name, preferred delivery time, courier comment
- Order data: items, total, payment method, postcard text

- Analytics and advertising data: analytics and advertising identifiers (e.g. Google Analytics client_id, Meta fbp/fbc), your actions and behaviour on the Site. Shared with Google and Meta as described in sections 7–8 (in the EU — with your consent; in other regions — by default, with the right to opt out).
- Geolocation: coordinates of the delivery address, determined when placing an order or when adding an address via the map
We do not collect biometric data, health data, political views, religion, or other special categories of personal data.
3. Legal basis for processing
Processing is based on one of the following grounds:
- Performance of contract — to place, deliver, and pay for orders
- Consent — for marketing communications, as well as for analytics and advertising technologies for visitors from the EU/EEA
- Legal obligation — to retain accounting and tax records as required by Azerbaijani law
- Legitimate interest — to ensure Site security, prevent fraud, and improve service quality, as well as analytics and advertising for visitors outside the EU — by default, with the right to opt out at any time
4. Purposes of processing
We use your data to:
- Process and deliver orders
- Communicate with you about your order (calls, SMS, email)
- Create and manage your account
- Operate the loyalty programme and bonus system
- Send order status notifications
- Improve the Site and service quality
- Send marketing and informational messages (only with your consent)
- Comply with legal requirements
5. Retention periods
We retain data only as long as necessary to provide services and comply with legal requirements:
- Active account — your profile data and order history are retained indefinitely while you continue to use the Site. This allows you to view your purchase history, accumulate bonuses, and quickly repeat orders.
- Account deletion — you can delete your account yourself at any time in your Account settings; your personal data (name, email, phone, addresses) is anonymised immediately upon confirmation. A deletion request can also be sent to hello@buketeria.az. Order information (amounts, dates, items, without personal identifiers) is retained for an additional 5 years in accordance with the accounting and tax legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan, after which it is fully deleted.
- Marketing consent — until consent is withdrawn (withdrawal is possible at any time).
- Security logs and cookies — from 30 days to 12 months depending on type.
After anonymisation, the data no longer permits identification and is used only in aggregated statistical form.
6. Your rights
Under the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan "On Personal Data" and the GDPR (for EU customers), you have the right to:
- Access your data and find out how it is processed
- Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data
- Erase your data ("right to be forgotten") — subject to the limitations in Section 5
- Restrict processing or object to it
- Receive your data in a machine-readable format (right to portability)
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: in Azerbaijan — the State Register of Personal Data under the Ministry of Digital Development; in the EU — your local data protection authority
Send requests to hello@buketeria.az. We respond within 30 calendar days.

9. Cross-border data transfers
Some of our processors (Google, Facebook, Mapbox, Posiflora) are located outside Azerbaijan. We transfer data abroad on the basis of:
- Standard contractual data protection clauses (SCCs / Data Processing Agreements) signed with the processors;
- Compliance of the processors with applicable data protection legislation (GDPR, the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan "On Personal Data", and equivalent regulations);
- Encryption of data in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest where supported by the processor.
We minimise the volume of data transferred abroad and select processors offering robust privacy protections regardless of the customer's country.
10. Security
We apply technical and organisational data protection measures:
- Connection encryption (HTTPS/TLS)
- Hashing of staff passwords (bcrypt); customers sign in without passwords — via external authentication services
- Restricted employee access on a least-privilege basis
- Regular backups
- Logging of administrator actions
- Authentication using JWT tokens
In the event of a data breach, we will notify affected users and competent authorities within the time limits set by law.
