Information we collect

GardenPath Flowers publishes gardening articles, plant care guidance, and related resources for readers. When you use GardenPathFlowers.com, we may collect:

  • Information you provide: email address if you join the newsletter early list or contact us.
  • Technical information: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referrer, and timestamps from hosting or security logs.
  • Preference information: cookie banner choices stored in your browser so the banner does not keep reappearing.

How we use information

We use reader information to operate the site, keep it secure, respond to messages, understand broad readership patterns, improve gardening content, and manage newsletter signups. We do not sell reader email addresses.

Newsletter signups

When you join the Bloom Notes early list, your email address is stored so we can contact you when the newsletter launches. We may also store the signup source, referrer, user agent, and timestamp to help prevent spam and understand where signups came from.

You can ask us to remove your email before launch by contacting hello@gardenpathflowers.com. Once emails are sent, every newsletter will include an unsubscribe option.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies and local storage may support essential site functions, remember your cookie choice, measure site usage if analytics are enabled, and support advertising or affiliate measurement if those features are added later. Read the Cookie Policy for more detail.

Third-party services

We use or may use providers for hosting, database storage, analytics, email delivery, search, embedded content, spam prevention, and site security. Current newsletter signup storage uses Supabase. The site is intended to be hosted on Vercel. These providers process information under their own terms and only as needed to provide their services.

If advertising, affiliate links, sponsored placements, or embedded media are added, their partners may use cookies or similar technologies where permitted by law and your choices.

Your choices

  • Use the cookie banner to reject or accept non-essential cookie categories when available.
  • Clear or block cookies through your browser settings.
  • Contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of information you provided.
  • Unsubscribe from newsletter emails using the unsubscribe link once Bloom Notes launches.

Children's privacy

GardenPath Flowers is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when site features, providers, advertising, analytics, or legal requirements change. The date at the top of this page shows the latest revision.
