Welcome to GardensVibe.com—your cozy corner for all things green! We know privacy can feel as tangled as an overgrown vine, so we’ve pruned this policy down to the essentials. Here’s how we care for your information:

1. What We Collect

A. What You Share

• Newsletter Sign‑Up: Name & email
• Comments & Questions: Whatever you type in (e.g., your gardening zone, pest woes, or favorite flowers)
• Contact Forms: Your name, email, and message

B. What’s Collected Automatically

• Device & Browser Info: Like IP address, browser type, and screen size
• Site Activity: Pages you visit, time spent, and what brought you here (referral sites)
• Cookies & Similar Tech: Tiny files that remember your preferences and help us improve your experience

2. Why We Use Your Info

Think of us as your garden’s caretaker. We use your data to:

• Send you the gardening goodies you subscribed to (newsletters, updates)
• Answer your questions and reply to comments
• Learn which posts you love so we can grow more of them
• Keep GardensVibe.com secure and running smoothly

We never sell your personal information—your trust matters more to us than a rare heirloom rose.

3. Cookies & Tracking

Our cookies are like compost—helpful when used right! They:

• Remember language or theme preferences
• Track site performance to fix bugs
• Suggest content that suits your gardening style

You can disable cookies in your browser settings (though some site features may not flourish without them).

4. Sharing & Disclosures

We don’t lease or sell your info to strangers. We only share with:

• Trusted Partners: Email providers, analytics tools, and others who keep your data secure
• Legal Requests: If required by law or to protect our community

5. Your Rights

If you’re in California, you have extra rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

• Know: Ask what personal data we have
• Delete: Request we remove your data
• Opt-Out: Stop any unlikely ‘sale’ of data (even though we don’t do that!)

Just drop us a line at [email protected], and we’ll handle it faster than a weed in spring.

6. Email & Newsletters

We only send emails if you sign up—no surprises here!

Every email has an unsubscribe link, so you’re in control.

We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, keeping things friendly and relevant.

7. Kids & Privacy

GardensVibe.com is designed for adult gardeners. We don’t knowingly collect info from anyone under 13.

8. Third-Party Links

We might link to other gardening pals’ sites or products. We’re not responsible for their policies, so please check them out directly.

9. Security Measures

We use standard industry practices—SSL, encryption, and secure servers—to keep your data safe. While no system is perfect, we do our best to protect your garden (and your info!).

10. Policy Updates

Just like a garden needs regular care, this policy will evolve. We’ll update the “Last Updated” date at the top whenever we make changes.

11. Questions or Concerns?

We’re here for you!
