Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 3, 2026
This policy explains what information Villatic Garden (“we”, “us”) collects when you use https://villaticgarden.com/ and how it is used. If you have a question, write to info@villaticgarden.com.
Information we collect
- Messages you send us. If you use the contact form we receive your name, email address and message, and we use them only to reply.
- Technical data. Like most websites, our server records your IP address, browser type, pages requested and the time of the request. We use this for security, fault finding and understanding which guides are useful. We shorten or anonymise IP addresses where we store them for security logs.
- Search terms. Words you type into the site search are used to return results and, in aggregate, to see what readers need.
- Cookies and similar technologies. See the section below and our Cookie Policy.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
We may use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, and Google AdSense or other ad partners to show advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or by visiting www.aboutads.info. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before setting advertising or analytics cookies.
How we use information
To run and secure the site, to reply to messages, to measure and improve our guides, and to show advertising that keeps the guides free. We do not sell your personal information to anyone for their own use.
Sharing
We share data only with service providers who help us run the site (hosting, analytics, advertising, email delivery), when required by law, or to protect the site and its users. These providers process data under their own privacy policies.
How long we keep it
Messages are kept only as long as needed to deal with them. Server logs are kept for a short period for security. Analytics and advertising data are kept according to the settings of those services.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EEA and UK, or the CCPA/CPRA in California) you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise a right, contact us at info@villaticgarden.com. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
This site is for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Links to other sites
Guides may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
Security
We use reasonable technical measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
