Usage Data: Log and analytics data (e.g., pages viewed, device/browser type, approximate location based on IP, timestamps) to improve site performance and content.
Cookie and Similar Technologies: Cookies or local storage to remember preferences (e.g., region) and to measure site usage.
Tool Inputs: Values you enter into calculators (e.g., sprinkler precipitation rate, soil type) processed to generate results. Unless you submit them with contact info, these inputs are generally not linked to your identity.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as health or precise geolocation). Please do not submit sensitive data to us.

Legal Bases (GDPR)

Cookies and Analytics

We may use first-party cookies for essential functionality (e.g., remembering preferences) and, with consent where required, analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site. You can manage preferences via your browser settings and, where available, our cookie banner. We respect applicable Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as an opt-out of sale/sharing in jurisdictions that recognize GPC.

How We Share Information

Service Providers: Hosting, security, and analytics providers who process data on our behalf under contractual protections.
Legal and Safety: When required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
Business Transfers: In the event of a reorganization or transfer, data may be part of the transaction subject to this Policy.
Third-Party Links: We link to external sites and tools. Their privacy practices are governed by their policies; review them before use.

We do not sell personal information for money. Under the CCPA/CPRA, some analytics or advertising technologies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. Where such technologies are used, you may opt out through our banner or browser signals.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Tool inputs not tied to contact details are typically retained only in aggregate or anonymized form for improvement.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including encryption in transit and access controls. No online service can guarantee absolute security; please use strong, unique credentials if you create an account or subscribe to updates (if available).

International Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries outside your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect personal data transferred internationally.

Your Rights

GDPR (EU/UK): Right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, data portability, object to processing, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
CCPA/CPRA (California): Right to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale/sharing, and limit use of sensitive personal information, without discrimination for exercising your rights.

To exercise rights, contact us at business [at] irrigation-smart-watering.allgardenlinks.com. We may need to verify your identity. Authorized agents may submit requests consistent with local law.

Children’s Privacy

Our site is intended for a general audience and not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can delete it.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a Do Not Track (DNT) signal. Because no uniform DNT standard is adopted, we do not respond to DNT signals. We do honor applicable GPC signals for opt-out of sale/sharing where required.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our practices or the law. The “Last Updated” date will appear at the top of the published page. Material changes will be highlighted or otherwise communicated when feasible.
