Effective Date: November 8, 2026
This policy explains what information The Garden Repo ("we", "us") collects when you visit thegardenrepo.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to this policy.
1. Information We Collect
Information you give us. If you sign up for our email list or free printables, we collect your email address and, optionally, your USDA growing zone. If you email us, we receive whatever you include in your message.
Information collected automatically. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, time on page, approximate location, device and browser type, and the site that referred you). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to do this.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your email address to send the download you asked for and occasional gardening emails, such as seasonal planting reminders for your zone. We use analytics data to decide what to write next and to improve the site. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.
3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site: our web host (Microsoft Azure), our analytics provider (Google), and our email service provider (MailerLite). They may process it only on our behalf.
4. Affiliate Links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, the retailer (for example a seed company or garden supplier) or its affiliate network may pay us a commission, at no extra cost to you. Those retailers and networks may use cookies to track that a purchase came from our link. Their use of that data is covered by their own privacy policies.
5. Cookies
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use them for analytics, and affiliate partners use them for referral tracking. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics with Google's browser add-on.
6. Data Security and Retention
We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no website or email service is completely secure. We keep your email address until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
7. Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
8. Your Rights
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing us at the address below. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time.
9. Links to Other Sites
The site links to other websites we don't operate. We aren't responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please review their policies.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy. The latest version will always be on this page with its effective date.
