Privacy Policy
Coregarden ("Website") provides this Privacy Policy to explain how it collects, stores, and uses information gathered through our gardening platform, applications, and web resources (collectively, "Services"). Coregarden respects user privacy and is committed to protecting personal data. You have the right to understand our practices regarding information collection and use when you access our Services.
The types of information we collect and how we collect it
Personal Information
Coregarden may integrate third-party tools into our Services. These tools support community features, seasonal recommendations, secure account access, and platform analytics. Third-party operators may access collected data solely for internal Service operations as permitted by law. This may include device identifiers, general location information, and IP addresses. We encourage review of third-party privacy policies below. When explicitly provided during signup, we collect email addresses for newsletters, account recovery, and customer support purposes. Some Services require or allow users to create a username for community identification and garden sharing features.
Non-personal Information
Third parties may collect non-identifying information while you use our Services. This includes technical details such as device type, browser, screen settings, language preference, operating system, and general geographic location. Third-party services use this data for research and service improvement only. We encourage review of their privacy policies below. Coregarden also collects anonymous usage data internally for analysis and platform enhancement. This information is aggregated and cannot identify individual users. It is gathered each time you access our Services.
Service Specific Information
We may display your profile picture and username from connected garden or social services, but this remains on your device and is not transmitted to Coregarden servers.
What we do with the personal information we collect
Third parties analyze how users interact with content and features within our Services to improve offerings and serve relevant information. Personal data may be used to understand user interests and engagement patterns. When a Service requests a username, it identifies you within the community to fellow gardeners. Coregarden prohibits users under 13 from including personally identifiable details in usernames or profiles. This includes first name, last name, email address, and physical location.
What we do with the non-personal information we collect
Third-party operators use non-personal information to conduct research, analyze service patterns, and improve platform features. This aggregated data cannot individually identify users. We encourage review of their privacy policies below. Coregarden uses non-personal data internally to analyze user interaction patterns, improve seasonal content delivery, and enhance future platform updates based on actual usage trends.
What we do with service specific information we collect
If Coregarden collects identifiers linked to your social network or garden platform account, this data is required for specific features. For example, account identifiers allow your garden progress to be shared within connected communities if you choose. As stated in this policy, you may contact us to delete this information for yourself or your child under 13.
How to opt-out of targeted advertising

Children
Coregarden prioritizes child safety and privacy in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13. When we determine a Service is directed at children under 13, all internal systems are configured to prevent personal data collection, and third-party integrations are restricted accordingly. Please review third-party privacy policies to understand their child protection practices. Services directed at children may still display non-targeted content and general announcements from Coregarden and partners, but advertising will not be personalized based on collected data. If you are a parent or guardian of a child under 13 who believes we have collected personal information, please contact us below and we will remove the data from our systems promptly.
Disclosure of Personal information
We share personal data only in these circumstances: when required by applicable law; when necessary to protect our rights or property; during merger, acquisition, liquidation, or asset sale; with your explicit consent; and as described regarding third-party operators using our Services. Coregarden will not share, sell, rent, or disclose your data under any other circumstances. You may contact Coregarden to request access, modification, update, or deletion of your personal information at any time via email: support@coregarden.online. You have the right to these options and protection against discrimination for exercising them. A nominal fee may apply for information access or disclosure where permitted by law.
Security
Coregarden follows industry-standard security practices and internal procedures to protect personal information during transmission and storage.
