Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Grow a Garden Hub ("we", "us", "the Site", growagardenhub.org), operated by an independent developer based in China, handles information when you use our website.

Grow a Garden Hub is a free, fan-made collection of calculators and reference data for the Roblox game Grow a Garden. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Roblox Corporation or the developers of Grow a Garden.

1. What We Collect

We keep data collection to a minimum. We do not require accounts, logins, or any registration, and we do not ask for your name, email, or phone number.

• Calculator inputs — Values you enter (crop, weight, mutation) are processed entirely in your browser. They are not sent to our servers or any third party.
• Analytics data — Aggregated, non-identifying usage data via Plausible, Google Analytics 4, and Microsoft Clarity (pages viewed, device type, country). Clarity may record anonymized interaction sessions to help us improve usability.
• Advertising data — Our advertising partners (Google AdSense and/or Mediavine) may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads.
• Server logs — Our host (Cloudflare) automatically logs technical data such as IP address and request information for security and reliability.

2. Why We Collect It

• Analytics → to understand usage and improve the Site
• Advertising → to fund the free Site through ads
• Server logs → security, abuse prevention, and reliability

3. Third Parties We Share Data With

• Cloudflare — hosting, CDN, and security (processes server logs/IP)
• Plausible — privacy-friendly analytics
• Google Analytics 4 — analytics (uses cookies)
• Microsoft Clarity — usability analytics/session replay (uses cookies)
• Google AdSense and/or Mediavine — advertising (use cookies)
• Google Search Console — search performance data

We do not sell your personal information. Calculator inputs are never shared because they never leave your browser.

4. Storage & Retention

• Calculator inputs: not stored (processed locally)
• Analytics data: retained per each tool's standard configuration
• Advertising cookies: retained per the advertising platform's policy
• Server logs: retained approximately 30 days

5. Cookies

We use analytics and advertising cookies, which are non-essential. Where required (e.g., for visitors in the EU/UK), we request consent via a cookie banner before non-essential cookies are set. See our Cookie Policy for details.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR for the EU/UK, CCPA/CPRA for California), you may have the right to access, delete, correct, or object to processing of your personal data, and to data portability. Because we do not collect identifying account data, most requests relate to analytics/advertising data managed by the third parties above; you can also opt out via our cookie banner or browser settings.

California residents: We do not sell your personal information.
