7. Legal Bases for Processing
If you are located in the United Kingdom, European Economic Area, or another jurisdiction requiring a legal basis for processing, we may process personal information based on:
- Consent: When you agree to receive marketing communications or voluntarily provide certain information
- Contractual necessity: When processing is necessary to provide a service, membership, product, event, or resource you requested
- Legitimate interests: When reasonably necessary to operate, secure, analyze, and improve our business and services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights
- Legal obligations: When processing is necessary to comply with applicable law

We may retain limited information after an unsubscribe or deletion request when necessary to maintain suppression records, honor communication preferences, prevent fraud, comply with law, or establish or defend legal claims.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.
However, no internet transmission, electronic storage system, or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information online at your own risk.
10. International Data Transfers
DIY Gardening is based in Texas, United States. If you access our services from Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the European Economic Area, or another country, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.
Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws in your location. Where required, we and our service providers use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

You can manage your communication preferences in the following ways:

Opting out of one communication channel does not automatically opt you out of every other channel. For example, opting out of text messages does not automatically unsubscribe you from email. You may manage each channel separately.
13. Third-Party Services and Links
Our websites, advertisements, emails, communities, and educational materials may link to third-party websites, platforms, products, or services.
We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy, security, availability, or content practices of third parties. Your interactions with third-party services are governed by their respective privacy policies and terms.
14. Children’s Privacy
DIY Gardening’s services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate authorization, please contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.
15. Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not currently a universally accepted standard for responding to all Do Not Track signals, our online services may not respond to them in every instance.
You may still manage cookies through your browser and advertising preferences through the applicable platforms.
16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services, technology, business practices, or legal requirements.
When we update the policy, we will revise the effective date at the top. Material changes may also be communicated through our website, communities, or other appropriate methods.
Your continued use of our services after an updated policy becomes effective indicates your acknowledgment of the revised policy, to the extent permitted by law.
