Privacy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy notice explains how garden-planting-timeline.hub2.day (“the site”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you visit or use the Garden Planting Timeline tool. The site is a small, independent web utility that helps home gardeners generate a personalized planting schedule based on their climate zone and desired crops.

We aim to collect as little personal data as possible. Most of the information you enter stays in your browser and is not sent to our servers.

Information You Enter in the Browser

The planting timeline tool may ask for inputs such as your USDA or equivalent hardiness zone, frost dates, and the crops you want to grow. These inputs are processed locally in your browser to generate your schedule.

We do not require an account, and we do not intentionally receive or store the crop lists, zone numbers, or planting dates you enter unless you explicitly send them to us (for example, by emailing us a question).

Contact Email

If you contact us at hello@garden-planting-timeline.hub2.day, we will use your message and any information you include solely to respond to your request. We do not use contact messages for marketing, and we do not sell or share them with advertisers.

Server and Security Logs

Like most static websites, the hosting infrastructure may automatically log limited technical information when you visit, such as:

• IP address (which may indicate approximate location)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring page or link
• Date and time of the request
• Requested page or resource

These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, and basic operational monitoring. They are not used to build a personal profile of you.

Cookies and Local Storage

The site may use browser storage mechanisms such as localStorage or small cookies to remember your preferences (for example, your selected zone or display settings) so the tool is easier to use on return visits.

These storage mechanisms are primarily for functionality and convenience. They are not used to track you across other websites.

Google Advertising (Google AdSense)

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to:

• Serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other sites
• Measure ad performance
• Limit how often you see the same ad

Where required by law, we seek your consent before allowing certain non-essential advertising cookies to be set. You can manage or withdraw your consent using the cookie controls provided on the site, where available.

Google’s use of advertising cookies is described in Google’s Advertising Privacy Policy. You can also visit Google Ads Settings to control personalized advertising from Google.

GDPR / EEA / UK Consent and Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with similar data protection laws, we rely on your consent for non-essential cookies and personalized advertising where required.

You have the right to:

• Request access to personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of that data
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@garden-planting-timeline.hub2.day.

CCPA / CPRA-Style Choices

If you are a California resident (or in some cases another U.S. state with similar privacy laws), you may have the right to:

• Know what personal information is collected and how it is used
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, as defined by applicable law
• Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

We do not sell your personal information. If we share data with advertising partners through cookies or similar technologies, you may be able to opt out using the cookie controls on the site or through industry opt-out tools such as Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page or Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page.

To submit a privacy request, email hello@garden-planting-timeline.hub2.day with the subject line “Privacy Request”.

Service Providers

We use third-party service providers for hosting, content delivery, and advertising. These providers may process limited technical data (such as IP addresses and request logs) on our behalf to deliver the site and its features.

We do not use service providers to independently profile you or to combine your site activity with other data sources for their own purposes.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this notice:

• Contact messages: retained as long as needed to handle your request and for a short period afterward for record-keeping.
• Server and security logs: retained for a limited period appropriate to security and operational needs, then deleted or anonymized.
• Browser storage (cookies/localStorage): retained on your device until you clear them or until they expire.

Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

The site may link to external websites, such as seed suppliers, gardening resources, or government climate data. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

International Processing

This site is operated from and accessed in various countries. If you are outside the country where the site is primarily operated, your information may be transferred to and processed in a country with different data protection laws. By using the site, you acknowledge this transfer.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy notice from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised when changes are made.
