2. Information We Collect
Website analytics. We use standard web analytics tools to collect aggregate, non-personally-identifiable data such as page views, session duration, and traffic sources. This data is used solely to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve content. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.
Contact form submissions. If you voluntarily submit your email address via a contact form, we collect and store that address only to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list without explicit consent.
Payment information. We do not collect or store any payment information on this Site. Any purchases made through our Shopify store are governed by Shopify’s privacy policy and payment processing systems.
3. Facebook and Meta Platform
This Site uses the Facebook Graph API to publish content to the official TUGN Facebook page (@theurbangardeningneighbor). This integration is used exclusively by the site operator to post content to our own page — it does not involve any collection, storage, or processing of Facebook user data.
We do not use Facebook Login, Facebook Pixel, or any other Meta product that collects information from visitors to this Site. We do not receive, access, or store any information about Facebook users through this integration.
4. YouTube
This Site displays YouTube video content via the YouTube Data API. We do not collect or store any data about viewers of that content. Watching embedded or linked YouTube videos is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy.
5. Cookies
This Site uses only the minimal cookies required for basic site functionality (such as session management). We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party behavioral targeting cookies. You may disable cookies in your browser settings; doing so may affect some site functionality.
6. Third-Party Services
The Site relies on the following third-party services, each of which has its own privacy policy:
- Vercel — website hosting and deployment infrastructure.
- Sanity — headless content management system used to store and serve site content.
- Shopify— e-commerce platform for our merchandise store. Purchases made through the Shopify store are governed by Shopify’s own privacy policy.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these services for information about how they handle your data.
7. Data Retention and Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. Email addresses collected via contact forms are used only to respond to the inquiry for which they were submitted and are retained only as long as necessary for that purpose.
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of Red Polo Media LLC or others.
8. Children’s Privacy
This Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us so we can delete it.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
