Who we are. Gardiner Apothecary (“we,” “us”) is operated by jryan at gardinerapothecary.com. You can contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL]. Our mailing address is [MAILING ADDRESS].
This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, download our free ebook or subscribe to our emails, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
Information you give us.
- Email signup: your email address and, if you provide it, your first name, when you request the free ebook or join our list.
- Contact: your name, email address and message if you write to us or use our contact form.
Information collected automatically. When you visit, we and our service providers may collect your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring website (for example, Pinterest or a search engine), and the date and time of your visit. This is collected using cookies and similar technologies.
Information from third parties. If you arrive from Pinterest, a search engine or an affiliate partner, those services may share limited information, such as which pin or link brought you here.
How we use your information
- To deliver the free ebook you requested.
- To send you emails about growing and using herbs, new articles, and occasionally products we think are useful. Some may contain affiliate links, which we disclose.
- To respond to your messages.
- To understand how the site is used and to improve it.
- To keep the site secure and prevent abuse.
- To meet legal obligations.
We send email only to people who have signed up. We use [EMAIL SERVICE NAME, for example MailerLite, ConvertKit, Mailchimp] to store addresses and send messages. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can unsubscribe at any time. We also include our mailing address in each email. We may track whether you open emails or click links to see which content is useful.
Cookies and analytics
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use:
- Essential cookies to make the site work.
- Analytics cookies [from Google Analytics] to understand traffic. These collect information such as pages visited and approximate location. Learn more about Google’s practices at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out with Google’s browser add-on.
- Affiliate cookies set by our affiliate partners when you click an affiliate link, so they can credit us for a qualifying purchase.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features may not work without them.
Affiliate links and other sites
We link to other websites, including retailers. We don’t control their privacy practices. Please read their policies before giving them any information.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share it only with:
- Service providers who help us run the site, such as web hosting, email delivery and analytics, and who may use it only to provide those services.
- Authorities or others when the law requires it, or to protect our rights, safety and security.
- A buyer or successor if the site is sold, in which case this policy continues to apply unless we notify you.
How long we keep it
We keep email addresses until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. We keep messages and analytics data only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no website or email service is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and rights
You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any message. You can also write to us at [CONTACT EMAIL] to ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you.
California residents. You may have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion or correction, and not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights. We do not sell personal information for money.
Canadian residents. We send commercial email only with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Visitors from the UK or European Economic Area. Where UK or EU data protection law applies, we process your information on the basis of your consent (for example, email signup) and our legitimate interests in running and improving the site. You may have the rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your data, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Your information may be processed in the United States or other countries whose data protection laws differ from yours.
Children
This site is meant for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version here with a new date, and we will notify email subscribers of material changes where required.
