Information collected automatically
When you visit this site, certain information is collected automatically:
- IP address and approximate geographic location
- Browser type and version, device type, operating system
- Pages visited, time spent, and referring website
- Date and time of visit
This is collected through standard server logs and through Google Analytics, which uses cookies to understand how visitors use the site. Google’s own privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics using Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
This site also uses Google Search Console, which reports aggregate search data and does not identify individual visitors.
Information you provide
Email address, if you subscribe to the newsletter or download the Lawn Product Checklist. This is stored and managed through MailerLite, and used to send you the resource you requested plus lawn care tips and product recommendations.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email.
Contact form submissions, if you message me — including your name, email address, and message contents. These are used only to respond to you.
Cookies
This site uses cookies for:
- Analytics — understanding how the site is used (Google Analytics)
- Affiliate tracking — when you click an affiliate link, the retailer may set a cookie so any resulting purchase is attributed correctly
- Functionality — remembering preferences such as whether you’ve dismissed a signup form
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking them won’t break the site, though some conveniences may stop working.
Affiliate links and third parties
When you click an affiliate link, you leave this site, and the destination retailer’s privacy policy applies to everything that happens after. Lawn Gear Scout does not receive your name, address, payment details, or order contents — only aggregate reporting on whether a purchase occurred.
Third-party services used by this site include Google Analytics, Google Search Console, MailerLite, and affiliate networks including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Each has its own privacy policy.
How your information is used
- To operate and improve the site
- To send the newsletter and requested resources
- To respond to messages
- To understand which content is useful
Your information is never sold. It is not shared with third parties except the service providers listed above, which process it on my behalf.
Data retention
Email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe or ask for removal. Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics’ configured retention period. Contact form messages are retained as long as needed to handle your inquiry.
Your rights
You can request that I:
- Tell you what information I hold about you
- Correct anything inaccurate
- Delete your information
- Stop sending you email
Email privacy@lawngearscot.com and I’ll handle it. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the EU/UK GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act.
Children
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, contact me, and I’ll delete it.
Security
Reasonable measures are taken to protect information collected here, including HTTPS encryption. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Changes
This policy may be updated. Material changes will be reflected in the “last updated” date above.
