Privacy Policy — HomeGardenFreak.com

Effective Date: December 26, 2025

Welcome — thanks for visiting HomeGardenFreak. We care about your privacy and want to be clear about the information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. This policy explains what to expect when you use our site, subscribe to our emails, or leave comments.

1. What this policy covers

This Privacy Policy applies to visitors and users of https://homegardenfreak.com (the “Site”). It describes the personal and non-personal information we collect, how we use and share it, your rights, and how to contact us.

2. Information we collect

a) Information you give us

When you interact with the Site — for example by subscribing to a newsletter, leaving a comment, contacting us, or signing up for a list — you may provide:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Any other details you choose to share in messages, forms, or comments

b) Information collected automatically

We also collect non-personal technical data to help the Site work better:

  • IP address and approximate location
  • Browser and device information (device type, operating system)
  • Pages you visit and how long you stay
  • Referring website or search terms

c) Cookies and tracking

We use cookies and similar tools (analytics, pixels) to:

  • Remember preferences and improve performance
  • Understand how visitors use the Site (analytics)
  • Serve relevant ads and measure campaigns (where applicable)

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Many ad networks also offer opt-out tools.

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect for purposes such as:

  • Delivering and personalizing content for you
  • Sending newsletters and updates if you opt in
  • Responding to questions or support requests
  • Improving the Site’s design and features through analytics
  • Preventing abuse and protecting the Site

We do not sell your personal data.

4. Who we share information with

We may share data only as needed to operate the Site and deliver services:

  • Service providers: hosting, email delivery, analytics, and other tools that help run the Site. They only get the data necessary to perform their tasks.
  • Advertising / affiliate partners: aggregated or anonymized data may be shared for ad measurement or to serve affiliate links. Affiliate links on the Site may track clicks; if you buy after clicking an affiliate link we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
  • Legal reasons: we may disclose information to comply with legal obligations or to protect our rights.
  • Business transfers: if the Site is sold or merged, data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Affiliate links and third-party services

We participate in affiliate programs (for example, Amazon Associates, ad networks, and others). Affiliate links may use cookies or tracking. Third-party services and websites linked from our content have their own privacy policies — we’re not responsible for their practices. Please review their privacy notices before sharing personal data with them.

6. Email communications & marketing

If you subscribe, we’ll send newsletters, product roundups, or site updates. Every email includes an unsubscribe link so you can stop emails at any time. You can also contact us directly to be removed from mailing lists.

7. Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, or for legitimate business purposes (for example, to respond to support requests). If you ask us to delete your data, we’ll remove it unless we’re required to retain it by law.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights such as:

  • Accessing a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Requesting correction of inaccurate data
  • Asking for deletion of your data
  • Objecting to or restricting certain processing
  • Requesting portability of your data

To exercise these rights, email us at privacy@homegardenfreak.com with a clear subject line (for example, “Data access request”). We’ll respond as soon as we can and in accordance with applicable law.

9. Children’s privacy

HomeGardenFreak does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No system is perfect — while we work to keep data secure, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use caution when sharing sensitive information online.

11. Comments & user-generated content

Comments and content you post publicly on the Site (comments, forum posts, etc.) may be visible to others and may include the personal data you choose to share. Don’t post sensitive personal information in public areas. We may moderate, edit, or remove content that violates our guidelines.

12. Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track setting. Because there is no single industry standard for DNT, we currently do not honor DNT signals. Use browser controls or ad-blocking tools to manage tracking.

13. International transfers

If you access the Site from outside the country where our systems are hosted, your data may be transferred and processed in other countries. By using the Site you consent to those transfers as described here.

14. GDPR, CCPA and similar rights

We aim to respect major privacy laws such as GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California). If you are subject to those laws and want to exercise your rights, contact privacy@homegardenfreak.com and include your location and request.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll post the new version here and update the “Effective Date.” We encourage you to check this page occasionally.
