Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 24, 2026

Contact: gabriel@goodegardening.com
1. Introduction
Goode Gardening (the “Site”) is owned and operated by Gabriel Goode (“we,” “me,” or “my”). This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit the Site, submit a contact form, subscribe to the newsletter, or otherwise interact with the Site; how that information may be used and shared; and the choices available to you.
By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please discontinue use of the Site.
2. Information Collected
Information you provide directly. When you use the contact form, we may collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message, along with any other information you choose to provide. When you subscribe to the email newsletter, we may collect your email address and, if requested, your name or subscription preferences.
Future transactions and services. If the Site later offers products, plants, digital downloads, paid subscriptions, consultations, event tickets, or similar services, we and the service providers used to complete the transaction may collect information such as your name, email address, billing and shipping information, telephone number, order details, and payment-related information. Complete payment-card information is generally processed by the applicable payment processor rather than stored directly by me.
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, Squarespace and any analytics or advertising services that are enabled may automatically collect information such as your Internet Protocol address, browser and device type, operating system, approximate location derived from your IP address, referring pages, pages viewed, links clicked, dates and times of visits, and other information about how you interact with the Site.
Cookies and similar technologies. The Site may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to operate essential features, remember preferences, measure traffic and performance, understand readership, and—if advertising features are enabled—measure or personalize advertising.
3. Services and Integrations
The Site is hosted through Squarespace. Depending on the features enabled, information may be processed by Squarespace and by services such as Squarespace Analytics, Squarespace Email Campaigns, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Instagram, and YouTube. Embedded content may allow the provider of that content to collect information about your visit, particularly if you are logged into an account with that provider.
These third parties process information under their own terms and privacy policies. The Site's cookie banner or cookie-management controls should be consulted for information about technologies currently enabled.
4. How Information Is Used
We may use collected information to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site; respond to inquiries; send newsletters and other communications requested by subscribers; understand readership and traffic; detect fraud, abuse, or technical problems; comply with legal obligations; enforce the Terms of Use; and administer future purchases, subscriptions, consultations, events, promotions, advertising, sponsorships, or affiliate programs.
We will not use personal information for a materially different purpose without providing appropriate notice or obtaining consent when required by applicable law.
5. How Information May Be Shared
We may share information with service providers that perform functions on my behalf, such as website hosting, form processing, email delivery, analytics, advertising measurement, payment processing, order fulfillment, scheduling, and event registration. These providers may access information only as needed to provide their services and are governed by their own contractual and legal obligations.
Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, or a governmental request; protect the rights, property, or safety of the Site, its operator, visitors, or others; investigate fraud or security concerns; enforce Site policies; or complete a reorganization, transfer, or sale of all or part of the Site.
We do not sell personal information for money. If advertising, affiliate, or cross-site measurement technologies that may constitute “selling,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under an applicable privacy law are enabled, the Site will provide the notices and choices required by that law.
6. Email Communications
Newsletter subscriptions are managed through Squarespace Email Campaigns. By subscribing, you request email communications from Goode Gardening. You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in a newsletter or by contacting gabriel@goodegardening.com. Unsubscribing from promotional email does not prevent necessary transactional or administrative messages relating to a purchase, registration, or request.
7. Advertising, Affiliate Links, and Sponsored Content
The Site may later display advertising, use affiliate links, or publish sponsored content. Advertising and affiliate partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure interactions, attribute purchases, or provide relevant advertising, subject to the choices presented through the Site and applicable law. Material relationships, compensation, and free products will be disclosed where required.
8. Data Retention
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining subscription records, completing transactions, resolving disputes, maintaining security, and satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the service provider involved.
9. Your Choices and Privacy Rights
You may choose not to submit a contact form or subscribe to the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time. You can also adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies, although doing so may affect Site functionality. Where available, use the Site's cookie-management controls to accept, decline, or change preferences for non-essential cookies.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of certain personal information, or to object to or limit certain processing. To make a request, email gabriel@goodegardening.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request and may retain information when permitted or required by law.
10. Security
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures are used to protect information. However, no method of Internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for a general audience and is 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 through the Site, please contact us so that appropriate action can be taken.
12. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content
The Site may link to or embed content from third-party websites and services. We do not control and am not responsible for their privacy, security, content, or data-handling practices. Review the policies of those services before providing information or interacting with them.
13. International Visitors
The Site is operated from Maine in the United States. If you visit from another country, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other countries where service providers operate. Those locations may have data-protection laws different from those in your country.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the Site, its services, or applicable requirements change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Material changes may also be communicated by an additional notice when appropriate. Questions or privacy requests may be sent to Gabriel Goode at gabriel@goodegardening.com.
