Last Updated: November 14, 2025
Who we are
Our website address is: morrisandbloom.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, merchandise, subscription box, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Opt-in
If you have subscribed to receive a newsletter from us, or merchandise discount, you will be required to fill up your name and e-mail to receive the information. If you buy from our shop, you are listed on our customer/ subscriber data base. You are free to unsubscribe yourself from receiving our e-mails any further if you wish so.
Subscriptions (Newsletter)
The Newsletter feature transforms our blog posts into newsletters to easily reach our subscribers.
Data used: To initiate and process subscriptions, the following information is used: the subscriber’s email address and the ID of the post or comment (depending on the specific subscription being processed). In the event of a new subscription being initiated, we also collect some basic server data, including all of the subscribing user’s HTTP request headers, the IP address from which the subscribing user is viewing the page, and the URI which was given to access the page (REQUEST_URI and DOCUMENT_URI). This server data is used to monitor and prevent abuse and spam.
Activity tracked: Functionality cookies are set for 347 days to remember a visitor’s blog and post subscription choices if, in fact, they have an active subscription.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Contact Form
The Contact Form feature captures contacts, leads, and questions from your posts and pages, with the power of Forms.
Data used: If Akismet is enabled on the site, the contact form submission data — IP address, user agent, name, email address, website, and message — is submitted to the Akismet service (also owned by Automattic) for spam checking. The actual submission data is stored in the site’s database on which it was submitted and is emailed directly to the owner of the form (i.e. the site author who published the page on which the contact form resides). This email will include the submitter’s IP address, timestamp, name, email address, website, and message.
Data synced: Post and post metadata associated with a user’s contact form submission. If Akismet is enabled on the site, the IP address and user agent originally submitted with the comment are also synced, as they are stored in the post meta.
Google Analytics
For sites running WooCommerce (also owned by Automattic) and this feature simultaneously and having all purchase tracking explicitly enabled, purchase events will send Google Analytics the following information: order number, product ID and name, product category, total cost, and quantity of items purchased. Google Analytics does offer IP anonymization, which can be enabled by the site owner.
Activity tracked: This feature sends page view events to Google Analytics for consumption. For sites running WooCommerce-powered stores, additional events are also sent to Google Analytics: shopping cart additions and removals, product listing views and clicks, product detail views, and purchases. Tracking for each specific WooCommerce event needs to be enabled by the site owner.
Likes
The Likes feature allows visitors to show their appreciation for any posts or products.
This feature is only accessible to users logged in to WordPress.com.
Data used: To process a post-like action, the following information is used: IP address, WordPress.com user ID, WordPress.com username, WordPress.com-connected site ID (on which the post was liked), post ID (of the post that was liked), user agent, timestamp of event, browser language, country code.

When you purchase from us, we’ll ask you to provide information including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card/payment details and optional account information like username and password. We’ll use this information for purposes, such as, to:

If you create an account, we will store your name, address, email and phone number, which will be used to populate the checkout for future orders.
We generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, we will store order information for XXX years for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address and billing and shipping addresses.
We will also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them.

Our team members have access to this information to help fulfill orders, process refunds and support you.
What we share with others
We share information with third parties who help us provide our orders and store services to you, like merchandise manufacturer and supplier, shipping service, payment provider, opt-in service provider.
Social Sharing Feature
We embed a Facebook widget to allow you to see number of likes/shares/recommends and “like/share/recommend” our webpages. This widget may collect your IP address, your web browser User Agent, store and retrieve cookies on your browser, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with the widget, including correlating your Facebook account with whatever action you take within the widget (such as “liking/sharing/recommending” our webpage), if you are logged in to Facebook. For more information about how this data may be used, please see Facebook’s data privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update
We use a Twitter Tweet widget at our website. As a result, our website makes requests to Twitter’s servers for you to be able to tweet our webpages using your Twitter account. These requests make your IP address visible to Twitter, who may use it in accordance with their data privacy policy: https://twitter.com/en/privacy#update
We use a Linkedin Share widget at our website to allow you to share our webpages on Linkedin. These requests may track your IP address in accordance with their data privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

Payments
We accept payments through PayPal. When processing payments, some of your data will be passed to PayPal, including information required to process or support the payment, such as the purchase total and billing information.
Please see the PayPal Privacy Policy for more details.
Pay with PayPal
The Pay with PayPal feature makes the shop site accept PayPal payments, and PayPal handles the actual payment processing.
Data used: Transaction amount, transaction currency code, product title, product price, product ID, order quantity, PayPal payer ID, and PayPal transaction ID.
Activity tracked: The PayPal payer ID, transaction ID, and HTTP referrer are sent with a payment completion tracking event attached to the site owner.
Data synced: PayPal transaction ID, PayPal transaction status, PayPal product ID, quantity, price, customer email address, currency, and payment button CTA text.
Because payments are processed by PayPal, we recommend reviewing its privacy policy.
Search
The Search feature delivers the most relevant results to our visitors.
Data used: We use any of the visitor-chosen search filters and query data to process the search request on the WordPress.com servers. We also use aggregate data about page views and searches to adjust our search results.
Activity tracked: We anonymously track when and what visitors search for and click on. This data is used to improve our search algorithms and track how well the search is working. This tracking includes: IP address, URL, user agent, timestamp of event, browser language, country code, search query, and filters.
Sharing
The Sharing feature helps our readers spread our message across the web.
Data used: When official sharing buttons are active on the site, each button loads content directly from its service to display the button, information, and tools for the sharing party. As a result, each service can, in turn, collect information about the sharing party.
When a non-official Facebook or Pinterest sharing button is active on the site, information such as the sharing party’s IP address and the page URL will be available for each service, so sharing counts can be displayed next to the button.
When sharing content via email (this option is only available if Akismet is active on the site), the following information is used: sharing party’s name and email address (if the user is logged in, this information will be pulled directly from their account), IP address (for spam checking), user agent (for spam checking), and email body/content. This content will be sent to Akismet (also owned by Automattic) so that a spam check can be performed. Additionally, if the site owner enables reCAPTCHA (by Google), the sharing party’s IP address will be shared with that service. You can find Google’s privacy policy here.
WooCommerce Shipping & Tax
The WooCommerce Shipping & Tax feature gets our WooCommerce store “ready to sell” as quickly as possible by taking care of tax calculation, payment processing, and shipping label printing.
Data used: For payments with PayPal or Stripe: purchase total, currency, billing information. For taxes: the value of goods in the cart, the value of shipping, and destination address. For checkout rates: destination address, purchased product IDs, dimensions, weight, and quantities. For shipping labels: customer’s name, address as well as the dimensions, weight, and quantities of purchased products.
Data synced: For payments, we send the purchase total, currency, and customer billing information to the respective payment processor. For more details, please see the respective third party’s privacy policy (Stripe’s Privacy Policy and PayPal’s Privacy Policy). For automated taxes, we send the value of goods in the cart, the value of shipping, and the destination address to TaxJar. Please see TaxJar’s Privacy Policy for details about how they handle this information. For checkout rates, we send the destination ZIP/postal code and purchased product dimensions, weight and quantities to the carrier, depending on the service used. For shipping labels, we send the customer’s name, address, as well as the dimensions, weight, and quantities of purchased products to a shipping company.
