The Leaf Almanac HOUSEPLANT CARE

Privacy Policy

Last updated August 10, 2026

The Leaf Almanac ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit theleafalmanac.xyz, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

#Who we are

The Leaf Almanac is an independent, ad-supported website publishing houseplant-care information. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at hello@theleafalmanac.xyz or through our contact page.

#Information we collect

Information you give us. When you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you submit so we can reply. We do not use these details for marketing.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools automatically record standard technical data: your IP address (truncated where possible), browser type, device type, referring page, and the pages you view. This helps us understand what's useful and keep the site secure.

Cookies and similar technologies. We and our partners use cookies to run the site, remember your preferences, and — with your consent — deliver and measure advertising. See our Cookie Policy for the full list and how to control them.

#Advertising and third parties

We display advertising to keep The Leaf Almanac free. We work with third-party vendors, including Google, to serve ads.

  • Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your 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 our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info and Your Online Choices (EU).

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK, and other regions with similar laws, we request consent before setting non-essential advertising cookies, and we pass your choice to our advertising partners through Google's consent framework.

#How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • respond to your enquiries;
  • operate, maintain, and secure the website;
  • understand how the site is used so we can improve it;
  • serve and measure advertising in line with your consent.

We do not sell your personal information.

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on: your consent (for non-essential cookies and advertising); our legitimate interests (to run and secure the site and understand its usage); and, for contact enquiries, taking steps at your request.

#Data retention

Contact-form messages are kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any follow-up. Aggregated, non-identifying analytics may be retained longer.

#Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know and delete personal information and to opt out of "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising. To exercise any right, email hello@theleafalmanac.xyz. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

#Children

The Leaf Almanac is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

#Security

We use reasonable technical measures — including HTTPS encryption across the whole site — to protect information. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

#Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be highlighted on this page.
