If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we may collect your name, email address, message and any other information you choose to send. We use this to read, manage and reply to your enquiry.

When you visit the website, some technical information may be collected automatically by the website, hosting provider, analytics tools, advertising partners, cookie consent tools or security tools. This may include your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring website, approximate location, visit time and cookie consent choices.

Analytics and cookies

Grow No Garden uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This helps show which guides are useful, identify technical issues and improve the website.

The site may use cookies and similar technologies, including local storage, pixels, tags, web beacons and device identifiers. These may be used for essential website functions, remembering consent choices, measuring website performance, displaying advertising, affiliate link tracking, security and spam prevention.

Where required, we ask for consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies. You can manage your choices through the cookie consent message shown on the website and through your browser settings.

Google AdSense and display advertising

Grow No Garden uses Google AdSense to display advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses and similar technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, detect fraud and improve advertising.

Google may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this website and other websites. Depending on your consent choices and Google’s settings, ads may be personalised or non-personalised.

For visitors in the UK, EEA and Switzerland, Grow No Garden may use a consent message to collect and manage choices for cookies, advertising and related processing. You can choose whether to consent, refuse consent, or manage your options.

Email signup forms and marketing emails

Grow No Garden may offer email signup forms in the future. If you choose to sign up, we may collect your email address and any other details shown on the signup form.

We may use this information to send gardening tips, new guide updates, useful resources, site news, affiliate content or other relevant marketing emails from Grow No Garden.

You will only be added to an email list where you have chosen to sign up. Future marketing emails will include an unsubscribe option, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

If we use an email service provider to manage signups and emails, that provider may process your information on our behalf.

Affiliate links

Some articles on Grow No Garden contain affiliate links, including links to Amazon. If a reader clicks one of those links, the retailer or affiliate network may use cookies or similar tracking so a commission can be attributed to the site.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Affiliate links do not change the price you pay.

How information is used and shared

We use information to run, maintain and secure the website, respond to messages, send email updates if you choose to sign up, manage unsubscribe requests, understand and improve website performance, display advertising, track affiliate referrals, remember consent choices and comply with legal or regulatory obligations.

We may share limited information with service providers that help operate the website. These may include website hosting providers, analytics providers, advertising providers, cookie consent tools, email marketing or email delivery providers, affiliate networks, retailers, security tools, professional advisers, authorities or regulators where required.

We do not sell personal information.

How long information is kept

We keep personal information only for as long as needed. Contact messages are usually kept only as long as needed to deal with the enquiry, unless we need to keep them for legal, security or record-keeping reasons.

If you sign up to an email list, we keep your email address until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, unless we need to keep limited records for legal or compliance reasons.

Technical logs, analytics data and cookie consent records may be kept for limited periods depending on the tools used.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have rights over your personal information. These may include the right to ask for a copy of your information, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, restrict how we use it, object to certain uses, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
