NOTICE

AGrowingGarden.com utilizes information, including personal information, collected by this website to provide services requested by the user and to facilitate the operation of this website. (See the “Server Logs”, “Third Party Recipients of Data”, “Cookies” for additional information about what is collected and how it is used.)

Third Party Recipients of Information

We do not provide your information to any other organizations for any purpose, unless required to do so by law or in the interest of public safety.

However, Google, as a third party vendor, and other vendors use cookies to serve ads on this site.

Google's use of the DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

Nature and Means by which Information is Collected

At various pages throughout the site, you may have the opportunity to voluntarily provide us with your name, e-mail, telephone, postal address, or other information.

Server Logs

When you visit this website, and most other websites, the computer server that hosts the website automatically logs the IP Address that your ISP has assigned to you, the date and time you visited, the pages or other resources, such as images or documents, you accessed or downloaded, the type of browser you are using, and the referrer address (the site that referred you to this site) which may, in the case of a search engine, for instance, also contain the search terms you used to find this site on the search engine.

Cookies

AGrowingGarden.com may use “cookies” to maintain a session with a user’s browser or to store a user’s settings/choices for use on a future visit.  A cookie is a small piece of data stored on a user’s computer by the user’s web browser and may contain bits of information such as user preferences, the identifier for a server-based session, and other data.

Voluntary Nature of Information

All information collected is voluntary except for the server log data which is created automatically upon arrival on the server.   You may choose whether or not to allow cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser.  AGrowingGarden.com understands that users may not want cookies put onto their computer and may have turned cookies off on their browsers. AGrowingGarden.com tries to make its' website function equally well with and without cookies.

Refusal to provide personal information beyond that which is necessary to provide you with the functionality you are requesting or refusal to allow further unrelated use of your personal information will not be the basis for denying you service.

Confidentiality, Integrity and Quality of the Information Collected

All AGrowingGarden.com personnel with access to user’s information are required to only view and use the information as necessary to perform authorized company functions.  The data integrity is ensured by periodic backups and database integrity checks.  The quality of the data is ensured by allowing users to correct any errors upon request.

CHOICE/CONSENT

AGrowingGarden.com allows users to “opt-in” to choices such as receiving email from us as a member of our mailing list.  We also allow users to “opt out” at a future date by notifying us.  (See Third Party Recipients of Information for issues concerning Third Party choice/consent and issues for opting in or out.)

ACCESS/PARTICIPATION

AGrowingGarden.com, after confirming a user’s identity to our satisfaction, will allow users to see what information we have about them, if any.  Also, confirmed users may change, correct, or delete any information we have about them that is inaccurate.

INTEGRITY/SECURITY

AGrowingGarden.com takes what we consider to be reasonable precautions to ensure the integrity and security of user information.  However, the internet was created and designed to share information, not necessarily to keep it secure.  As your data passes across the internet and when it is stored on servers, it may be stolen, corrupted, or deleted, just as it may be when stored in filing cabinets when a fire or burglary occurs.

ENFORCEMENT/REDRESS

If you believe that AGrowingGarden.com. is not following this Privacy and Security Policy, or if you have any questions concerning privacy, please email us at privacy@agrowinggarden.com
