However, certain advertising or analytics activities may constitute “sale,” “sharing,” targeted advertising, or a similar regulated activity under some state privacy laws.

Where applicable, we will provide appropriate disclosures and opt-out mechanisms.

Eden Booming is committed to respecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

We aim to collect only information that is reasonably necessary, use information for legitimate purposes, protect information using reasonable safeguards, and provide applicable privacy choices and rights.

We therefore review our privacy practices as the website grows and as applicable privacy requirements change.
