This policy describes how Dirt Cheap Garden (“we”) handles information when you use dirtcheapgarden.com.

What we collect

  • Emails you send us: your address and message, used only to answer you.
  • Server logs: IP address, browser, pages requested and timestamps, used for security and troubleshooting.
  • Calculator inputs: numbers you type into our calculators are processed in your browser and are not sent to us.
  • Cookies: set by us and by partners for analytics and advertising, as explained below.

Advertising cookies

We may work with third-party ad networks, including Google, to show ads on this site.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some other vendors at aboutads.info.
  • More about how Google uses data from partner sites.

If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, a consent banner will ask for your choice before personalized advertising cookies are used.

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to see which pages are useful. It uses cookies and collects data such as pages viewed and approximate location. Opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

When you click a link to a retailer such as Amazon, that retailer may set a cookie so a purchase can be credited to us. We never receive your name, address or payment details from retailers.

Sharing and sale

We do not sell your personal information for money. Advertising partners may receive device identifiers and browsing data through cookies, which some state laws treat as “sharing”; you can opt out using the links above or by contacting us.

Your choices and rights

You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Depending on your location (for example under the GDPR or California law), you may ask to access, correct or delete your personal information, or object to its use. Email [email protected].

Security and retention

We keep emails only as long as needed and logs for a limited time, and we protect them with reasonable safeguards. No system is perfectly secure.

Children

The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Updates

We will post any changes here and update the date above.
