Agrosha Privacy Policy

Who we are

Agrosha is a gardening website that shares practical ideas for small spaces and backyards.

Our website address is https://agrosha.com/.

Information you give us

You may choose to give us information when you use Agrosha. For example, you may send us a message, leave a comment, or join our email list.

Depending on the feature you use, this information may include:

• Your name.
• Your email address.
• A subject or message you send to us.
• Information you enter in a comment form.
• The page where you submitted a form.

First, we use this information only for the reason it was provided or for normal website work. Also, we may use it to protect the site from spam or misuse.

Comments

If comments are available on Agrosha, we may collect the information shown in the comment form. We may also collect the visitor's IP address and browser information to help detect spam.

An anonymous version of your email address, sometimes called a hash, may be sent to the Gravatar service to see if you use it.

You can read the Gravatar and Automattic privacy policy .

After a comment is approved, a profile image linked to Gravatar may appear next to your public comment.

Contact forms and email signup

Contact forms

When you send us a message through our Contact page, we may collect your name, email address, subject, message, page address, and the time the form was sent.

We use this information so we can read your message and reply when needed. We may also keep a simple status, such as new, replied, or closed, so we can manage messages.

Email subscriptions

If you join the Agrosha email list, we collect the email address you provide. We may also record where the signup came from, such as the homepage or a garden guide.

We use this information to send the garden updates, new guides, or other emails you asked to receive.

You can stop receiving marketing emails at any time when an unsubscribe option is provided.

Media

If a feature lets you upload an image to Agrosha, avoid uploading an image that includes hidden location data, such as EXIF GPS data.

In some cases, people who can access an uploaded image may be able to download it and read location information stored inside the file.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that a website can save in your browser. They can help a site remember choices and work correctly.

Comment cookies

If you leave a comment, WordPress may let you save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This can make it easier to leave another comment later. These cookies may last for up to one year.

Login cookies

If you visit a WordPress login page, the site may set a short-term cookie to see if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and normally ends when you close your browser.

If you log in, WordPress may also use cookies to remember your login and screen choices. Login cookies may last for about two days. Screen choice cookies may last longer.

If you choose “Remember Me,” your login may stay active for about two weeks. When you log out, the login cookies are removed.

Publishing cookies

If an authorized user edits or publishes an article, WordPress may save another cookie. It normally contains the article ID and no personal data. It may expire after about one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Agrosha articles may include content from other websites. For example, a page may include a video, image, social post, or other embedded item.

Embedded content can act in the same way as visiting the other website directly.

As a result, those websites may collect information about you, use cookies, or track how you use their content. They may also know about your activity if you already have an account with that service and are logged in.

Also, Agrosha may link to other websites. Their privacy rules may be different from ours, so please read their policies when needed.

Who we share your data with

We may use trusted service providers when they are needed to run Agrosha. For example, some form information may pass through Google services because we use Google Apps Script and Google Sheets for our current website forms.

WordPress and related website services may also process technical data needed to run the site.

If an account feature is available and you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password reset email.

We may also share information if we are required to do so for legal, safety, or security reasons.

How long we retain your data

We keep information only for as long as it is useful for the reason we collected it, for normal website work, or when we need to keep it for legal or security reasons.

Comments

If you leave a comment, WordPress may keep the comment and its related information for a long time. This helps the site recognize later comments and manage moderation.

Website accounts

If Agrosha allows user accounts, WordPress may store the personal information added to the user's profile.

Where the platform allows it, users may be able to view, change, or remove some profile information. However, some account details, such as a username, may not be changeable.

Contact messages and subscribers

Contact messages and email subscription records may stay in our working records until they are no longer needed. We may remove, archive, or update these records as our business needs change.

Your privacy choices

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have choices about your personal information.

For example, you may ask us to:

• Tell you what personal information we have about you.
• Correct information that is wrong.
• Delete certain information when the law allows it.
• Stop sending marketing emails.

If you have an account or have left comments, WordPress may also provide tools that can export or erase certain personal information.

However, we may need to keep some information for legal, security, recordkeeping, or administrative reasons.

Where your data may be sent

Visitor comments may be checked by an automated spam detection service.

Also, contact form and email signup information may be sent to Google Apps Script and stored in Google Sheets as part of our current website form system.

Embedded services may process information on their own systems when you interact with their content.

How we protect information

We use reasonable steps to help protect information connected to Agrosha.

However, no website, online system, or data transfer can promise complete security. So, please do not send sensitive information through normal website forms unless it is needed.

Children's privacy

Agrosha provides general gardening information. The website is not designed to collect personal information from young children.

If we learn that personal information was sent by a child when it should not have been, we may remove it when appropriate.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when Agrosha changes, when we add new website tools, or when our privacy practices change.

When we make an update, we may change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. So, you can return here from time to time to read the latest version.
