This page explains what information we collect when you visit PermaRoot, how we use it, and the choices you have over your data. We keep this policy straightforward because we believe transparency matters as much in digital spaces as it does in the garden.

When you browse this site, we collect limited technical data such as your browser type, device information, and pages visited. This helps us understand which guides are most useful and how readers move through the site.
If you contact us through the form on our contact page, we receive the name, email address, and message you submit. We use this information solely to respond to your enquiry and do not add it to any marketing list unless you explicitly ask us to.
We use a small number of cookies to remember your preferences and to collect anonymous analytics about site usage. These cookies help us see which seasonal checklists and field notes are most read, so we can plan future content around what actually helps homesteaders.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Doing so will not affect your ability to read the guides or use the site, though we may lose some insight into how the content is being used.
The information we collect is used for three purposes: responding to enquiries, improving the site based on reader behaviour, and maintaining the security of our pages. We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for advertising purposes.
Our hosting provider and analytics service may process technical data on our behalf. These processors are bound by data protection agreements and only handle information as necessary to keep the site running.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to ask for corrections, or to request deletion of your data. You may also withdraw any consent you have given at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within 30 days and will not charge a fee for reasonable requests.
We are committed to providing accurate, practical guidance based on real site observations. We do not make exaggerated claims about yields, water savings, or plant performance, and we do not use fake endorsements or artificial urgency. Where we share observations from specific gardens, we describe them as field notes rather than universal guarantees.
