At GULFSTREAM TROPICAL AQUARIUM INC. (referred to in this policy as “we,” “us,” or “our”), we value your partnership and are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your business and personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, register for a wholesale account, or conduct business with us. Please read this policy carefully. By accessing or using our website and services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the practices described below.

1. Who We Are and Who This Policy Applies To

GULFSTREAM TROPICAL AQUARIUM INC. is a wholesale, business-to-business (B2B) provider. Because our services are designed exclusively for commercial customers, business entities, and authorized commercial representatives.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked with you or your business (“Personal Information”). We collect this in three main ways:

A. Information You Provide to Us

• Wholesale Account Registration & Business Verification: When you apply for or set up a B2B account, we collect business contact details such as your full name, job title, company name, business address, email address, telephone number, and tax identification/resale certificate numbers to verify your wholesale eligibility.
• Orders and Transactions: When you place an order, we collect billing details, shipping destination addresses, purchasing history, and communication preferences.
• Payment Information: Payment details (such as credit card numbers or ACH/bank routing details) are processed directly by our secure third-party payment processors. We do not store sensitive payment card credentials on our servers.
• Customer Support & Communications: Information you provide when contacting us via email, phone, or online forms regarding inquiries, orders, or support.

B. Information Collected Automatically

• Usage and Device Data: When you browse our website, we may automatically collect details about your visit, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the date/time of your visit.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to keep you logged into your B2B account, remember your wholesale cart items, analyze website traffic, and improve performance.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for legitimate business purposes, including to:

• Verify your business entity and establish your wholesale account.
• Process, fulfill, manage, and deliver your wholesale orders.
• Communicate with you about account status, order updates, product updates, and customer service inquiries.
• Send tailored B2B promotional emails, product catalogs, or price list updates (you can opt out at any time).
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, unauthorized account access, or security vulnerabilities.
• Comply with legal, tax, export, and regulatory obligations.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal or business information to third parties for marketing purposes.

We may share your information only with trusted third parties under the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We share necessary details with third-party partners who help us run our business—such as IT hosting providers, payment processors, logistics/freight partners, and software platform providers. These partners are legally bound to handle your data securely and use it only for the specific services we hire them to perform.
• Legal and Regulatory Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, subpoena, or government regulation, or if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights, property, safety, or that of our users or the public.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of company assets, business contact and account information may be transferred as part of that commercial transaction.

5. Cookies and Your Rights

You can control how your browser handles cookies. Most web browsers allow you to block, delete, or receive alerts about cookies through your browser settings. However, please note that disabling core cookies may impact the functionality of our website—such as preventing you from logging into your wholesale account or maintaining items in your order cart.

6. International Data Transfers

While GULFSTREAM TROPICAL AQUARIUM INC. operates out of the United States, we serve business clients globally. If you access our website or communicate with us from outside the United States, please be aware that your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where our servers and central databases are located. By using our website and providing your information, you acknowledge and consent to this transfer and processing in accordance with U.S. data protection laws.

7. Data Security and Retention

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information against accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, or disclosure.

While we take rigorous steps to protect your data, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your wholesale account login credentials confidential.

We retain your personal and business information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, support your active business account, resolve disputes, and satisfy our tax, legal, or accounting record-keeping requirements.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you (and authorized representatives of your business) may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

• Access and Correction: You can review and update your account details at any time by logging into your account profile or contacting us directly.
• Opt-Out of Marketing: You can opt out of receiving promotional emails by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any marketing message, or by contacting customer service.
• Data Deletion / Privacy Requests: You may request that we delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, subject to legal limitations (e.g., retaining required financial transaction records).
