We believe you have the absolute right to understand how your information is handled, and we are dedicated to providing you with the tools and information to make informed choices.
2. Information We May Collect (and Why)
As a gardening website, our primary goal is to provide you with inspiring content, helpful resources, and a supportive community. The information we may collect is always done with a specific purpose to enhance your experience or for operational necessity. This may include:
- Information You Voluntarily Provide:

Its purpose is to help us improve our content, website design, and overall user experience.
- Device Information: We may collect information about the device you use to access seedora.space, such as your operating system, browser type, and screen resolution. This helps us ensure our website displays correctly and optimally across various devices.
- IP Address: Your IP address is collected automatically. While an IP address can sometimes be used to approximate your location, we primarily use it for broad geographical understanding to tailor content relevance and for security purposes, such as identifying and preventing malicious activity. We do not link IP addresses to identifiable individuals.

4. Sharing Your Information (When and Why)
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in limited circumstances and always with your privacy as a priority:
- With Service Providers: We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our website operations (e.g., hosting providers, analytics services like Google Analytics). These third parties have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. They are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
- For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect and defend our rights or property, or act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of seedora.space or the public.
- With Your Consent: In any other circumstance where we might need to share your information, we will explicitly ask for your consent beforehand.
5. Data Security (Our Vigilance for Your Information)
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. These measures include using secure servers, firewalls, and encryption technologies. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee its absolute security.
6. Your Rights (Empowering You with Control)
