Cookie Policy

We use “cookies” to collect information about you and your activity on our Site. This cookie policy explains how cookies are used between your computer and our Site.

A cookie is a small file, stored on a user’s hard drive by a website. Its purpose is to collect data relating to the user’s browsing habits. Most browsers are set up to automatically accept cookies, but you can change this by updating your browser’s privacy settings. You can choose to be notified each time a cookie is transmitted, or you can also choose to disable cookies altogether. You will need to make these updates on every device you use. Be aware that, while blocking some kinds of cookie won’t make a big difference to your browsing experience, blocking all cookies might prevent you from accessing certain website features or content.

Types of cookies used on websites:

Essential cookies, which enable core functions like user logins, account management, shopping carts, and payment processing.

Performance cookies, which track how you use a website during your visit (without collecting personal information about you). These cookies help us understand how our audience is using our Site, so that we can make decisions that improve our users’ overall experience. Performance cookies tend to be anonymized and aggregated for this use. They may be by the website you are visiting or by third-party services.

Functionality cookies, which collect information about your device and any settings you may choose on the Site, such as language and timezone. These may be set by the website you are visiting or by third-party services. They help websites provide users with customized, optimized experiences.

Targeting/advertising cookies, which are used to determine which kinds of promotional content is relevant to you. Websites can use them to improve the effectiveness of marketing content that is presented to you. These cookies may be set by the website you are visiting or by third-party services.

Third-party cookies, which let third parties (like content partners and analytics providers) perform specific tasks on our behalf. We may provide them with access to specific information, or they may set third-party cookies. Third-party cookies can be used to track you on other sites that use the same third-party service. We have no control over third-party cookies, and they are not covered by our Site’s cookie policy.

Cookies on our Site:

We use essential cookies for security, fraud detection, attack detection, session cookie identification, performance, tracking errors, API protection, and site experiments.

Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., podcast episodes, videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

What Personal Information we collect

Personal Information

It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we collect on this Site. When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking about Device Information, User Information and Order Information.

Device Information

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. We may use software tools to measure and collect session information, including page response times, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information, and methods used to browse away from the page. This data is considered “non-identifying information,” as it does not personally identify you on its own.

How we collect Personal Information

We collect information by fair and lawful means, and with your consent and knowledge. We let you know why we collect it and how it will be used. You may refuse our request for this information; however, we may be unable to provide you with some of our services without it.

How we use your Personal Information

Device Information

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns). We do not disclose the specifics of this information publicly. We may, however, share aggregated and anonymized versions of this information, for example in reports about trends in our customers’ usage of the Site.

Sharing your Personal Information

We share your Personal Information with the following third parties to help us use your Personal Information, for the purposes of performing specific tasks on our behalf. We do not give them permission to disclose or use any of our data for other purposes.

We do not otherwise supply your Personal Information to third parties. We do not sell or rent your Personal Information to marketers.

Do Not Track

Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.

GDPR

For users in the European Union, we adhere to the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”). For users in the United Kingdom, we adhere to the GDPR as enshrined in the Data Protection Act 2018.

We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer because we do not fall within the categories of controllers and processors required to appoint a Data Protection Officer under Article 37 of the GDPR.

Legal Basis for Processing

We collect and process personal data about users in the EU only when we have a legal basis for doing so under Article 6 of the GDPR.

We rely on the following legal basis to collect and process the personal data of users in the EU:

Processing of user Personal Information is necessary for us or a third party to pursue a legitimate interest. Our legitimate interest is not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of users.

In plain language, we are processing your Personal Information in order to fulfil contracts we might have with you (for example, if you make an order through the Site), or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above.

Please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States.

Your Rights as a User

If you would like to know if we have collected your Personal Information, or if you would like to request that your Personal Information be deleted, corrected, or updated, or to exercise any of your other rights under the GDPR, please contact us at: plantsalwayswinpodcast@gmail.com.

Children

We do not knowingly collect or use Personal Information from children under 16 years of age. If we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child under 16 years of age, the Personal Information will be deleted as soon as possible. If a child under 16 years of age has provided us with Personal Information, their parent or guardian may contact us at plantsalwayswinpodcast@gmail.com.

Limits of our Policy

While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that user data is secure and that users are protected, there always remains the risk of harm. The Internet as a whole can be insecure at times, and therefore we are unable to guarantee the security of Personal Information beyond what is reasonably practical.

If you follow hyperlinks from our Site to another Site, please note that we are not responsible for and have no control over their privacy policies and practices.

Changes

We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. When we do make changes, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this Privacy Policy.
