What we collect
- Contact emails you send us (content of the message, your email address).
- Technical logs that our host (Cloudflare) may process when you visit (IP address, user agent, timestamps) for security and performance.
- Cookies and similar technologies — see our cookie policy. Advertising cookies (including Google AdSense) will only be used with a lawful basis and, where required, consent via a Google-certified CMP.
- Affiliate click data when you follow labelled affiliate links (handled by networks such as Awin or Amazon under their policies).
Purposes and lawful bases
- Responding to enquiries — legitimate interests / contract steps.
- Securing and operating the site — legitimate interests.
- Measuring traffic and showing ads — consent where required (UK GDPR / PECR).
Sharing
We use service providers such as Cloudflare (hosting/CDN) and, once enabled, Google (AdSense/Analytics if added) and affiliate networks. They process data under their own terms and, where applicable, data-processing agreements.
International transfers
Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where that happens we rely on appropriate safeguards (for example UK IDTA / SCCs) as offered by those providers.
Retention
Enquiry emails are kept as long as needed to handle your request and for basic record-keeping. Server logs follow our host’s retention defaults unless we configure shorter periods.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object, and data portability, and to withdraw consent. Contact us using the details above. You can complain to the ICO (ico.org.uk).
Children
This site is aimed at adults interested in gardening. We do not knowingly collect children’s data.
Changes
We may update this policy; the “last updated” date will change when we do.
