This policy explains what data bloomandbackyard.com (the “Site”) collects, why, and the choices you have. The Site is operated from the European Union and serves readers mainly in the United States.
What is collected
Server and analytics data. Like most websites, the Site records standard technical data (IP address, browser, pages viewed, referring site) in server logs and in analytics tools, used in aggregate to understand which articles people read.
Email signup. If you subscribe to the newsletter or request a free guide, your email address (and the page you signed up on) is stored with the email service provider used to send it. You can unsubscribe with the link in any email.
Contact. If you email me, your message and address are kept to answer you.
Cookies and advertising
The Site uses cookies for basic functionality and analytics. Advertising partners and their vendors may set cookies to show relevant ads and measure them; where required, a consent banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies, and you can change your choice from the link in the footer.
Affiliate links (including Amazon Associates links) may set a cookie on the retailer’s site so that a purchase is credited to this Site. See the affiliate disclosure.
Third parties
Data may be processed by the web host, the analytics provider, the email service provider, the advertising network and embedded services such as Pinterest. Each has its own privacy policy. Data is not sold.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (including the EU under GDPR and California under CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. To exercise any of these, use the contact page. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
The Site is not directed at children under 16 and does not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
This policy may be updated, for example when an advertising or email partner changes. The current version is always on this page.
