This Privacy Policy explains what information Windowsill Gardener (“we,” “us,” “the site”) collects when you visit windowsillgardener.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We try to collect as little as possible.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us directly
If you email us, leave a comment, or sign up for our newsletter, you choose to share your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use that only to respond to you and (for newsletter sign-ups) to send the newsletter.
Information collected automatically
Like nearly every website, our servers automatically log standard request data when you visit: IP address, browser type, referring page, and the pages you view. We use this to keep the site secure, fix bugs, and understand which guides are useful.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences and to measure traffic via privacy-conscious analytics tools. You can disable cookies in your browser at any time without breaking the site.
2. Affiliate links and third parties
Many product recommendations on this site are affiliate links. When you click one and make a purchase, the retailer (most often Amazon.com) may share with us anonymized data about that click — typically the product, the date, and whether the click led to a purchase — so the affiliate program can credit us. We never see your name, address, payment information, or other Amazon account details.
Amazon Associates disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Third-party services that may receive limited data when you use our site include: our web host (Namecheap EasyWP), our analytics provider, advertising networks if and when we display ads, and the affiliate networks listed in our affiliate disclosure. Each operates under its own privacy policy.
3. How we use information
- Operate, maintain, and improve the site.
- Respond to messages and comments.
- Send the newsletter to people who signed up for it (you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email).
- Detect abuse and prevent fraud.
- Comply with legal obligations.
We don’t sell your personal information. We don’t share it with third parties for their marketing.
4. Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain uses. Email hello@windowsillgardener.com with any request and we’ll respond within 30 days.
5. Children
This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
