Privacy Policy

Overview

Gardening Math ("we", "us", "our") operates gardeningmath.com. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.

Information We Collect

Information you provide. If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message so we can respond to you. If you request our free guide or sign up in the site footer, we collect your email address and, if you choose to give it, your first name.

Calculators. Our calculators run in your browser. The measurements you enter are not sent to or stored on our server. We record anonymous usage events (for example, that a calculator was used and which type of result it produced) through Google Analytics; these never include your name or email address.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically log standard technical information when you visit — your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and time spent on the site — through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies and comparable technologies set by Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Microsoft Advertising to understand how visitors use the site and to measure our advertising. We do not run display ads on this site. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings; doing so may affect how parts of the site function.

Analytics & Advertising Partners

We use Google Analytics to understand site traffic and usage patterns, and Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) conversion tracking to measure the performance of our marketing. These services use cookies and similar identifiers to collect data about your visits to this and other websites.

For more on how Google uses data, see How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can opt out of personalized Google advertising via Google Ads Settings.

Email Signups

When you request the guide, we store your email address, optional first name, the date, and which form you used in a file on our web host that is not publicly accessible. We use it to email you the guide and, occasionally, garden-planning emails. Delivery emails are sent through our web host’s mail server.

Every email includes a way to reach us to unsubscribe, and you can ask us to delete your information at any time by emailing [email protected]. We do not sell your email address.

Affiliate Links

This site participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Product links go directly to Amazon.com with our Associates tag, and clicking one may let Amazon set cookies to attribute any qualifying purchase. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the site, respond to messages sent through the contact form, deliver the guide and emails you requested, understand which content and calculators are useful to visitors, measure the performance of our advertising, and detect and prevent abuse (such as spam submissions).

Your Rights & Choices

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you have rights under the GDPR to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data, and to object to certain processing, including for advertising purposes.

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA to know what personal information we collect, request its deletion, and opt out of its "sale" or "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise any of these rights, contact us.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, with the "Last updated" date revised accordingly.
