Thank you for visiting gardenboxbaking.com, operated by Garden Box Baking. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website or interact with our services.

By using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use our website.

Information We Collect

When you visit our website, we may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as your name, email address, and any other information you choose to share when contacting us or subscribing to our newsletter. Additionally, we may automatically collect certain non-personal information, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and browsing activity on our website through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  1. To provide and improve our website and services.
  2. To respond to your inquiries and communicate with you.
  3. To send you newsletters, promotional emails, and other updates if you have subscribed to our mailing list.
  4. To analyze trends, track user interactions, and gather demographic information for internal purposes.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services, such as analytics providers and advertising networks, to assist us in operating our website and delivering content to you. These third-party services may collect information about your browsing activity on our website through cookies and similar technologies.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the security of your personal information and prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately, and we will take appropriate steps to remove the information from our records.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised Privacy Policy on this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
