1. Overview
Grow A Garden Games is a fan-run hub that publishes guides, links, and news for cozy browser players. We collect minimal information so the site stays fast, secure, and relevant to upcoming Grow A Garden events. By browsing the site or submitting a contact form, you agree to the practices described below.
2. Information We Collect
We only gather what we need to keep the community running smoothly:
- Contact details you share via the contact form (name, email, message topic) so we can respond.
- Anonymous analytics (page views, referring URLs, browser type) collected through privacy-friendly analytics tools.
- Server logs containing IP address and user agent for basic security monitoring and spam detection.
3. How We Use Data
Any information we collect is used to:
- Answer community questions and highlight player submissions.
- Determine which guides or games deserve fresh coverage.
- Keep the website secure and prevent automated abuse.
- Produce aggregate reports (for example, “70% of readers love Plants Vs Zombies speedruns”).
4. Cookies & Analytics
We use lightweight, cookie-optional analytics to understand traffic patterns. Session cookies may be stored to remember dark-mode preferences or form progress. You can block cookies in your browser and still read every article and guide.
5. Third-Party Links
Many guides link to external experiences such as official Growden.io servers or community Discords. Once you leave Grow A Garden Games, that site’s privacy policy takes over. We only recommend sources we trust, but always double-check what data they collect.
6. Children's Privacy
Grow A Garden Games content is family-friendly, yet we intentionally keep data collection to a minimum. We do not knowingly store personal information from children under 13. Parents or guardians can request removal of contact submissions by emailing [email protected].
7. Your Choices & Rights
- Request a copy of any information you previously shared with us.
- Ask us to correct or delete contact submissions.
- Opt out of optional analytics by blocking cookies or using privacy extensions—our content remains accessible.
8. Policy Updates
If Grow A Garden Games changes the way it collects or processes data, we will update this page and the Terms of Use with a new effective date. Major changes will also be highlighted on the homepage banner for at least seven days.
