Who We Are
This Privacy Policy explains how The Frugal Lawn Guy (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit frugallawnguy.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Affiliate Disclosure
The Frugal Lawn Guy is reader-supported. Many of our articles contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other affiliate programs through networks such as Awin (which includes the former ShareASale network). When you click an affiliate link, the merchant or its affiliate network may set a cookie in your browser to record that the visit and any resulting purchase came from our Site. Those cookies are managed by the merchant and their networks, not by us, and are governed by their own privacy policies. We only recommend products we believe are worth your money, and an affiliate relationship never changes our editorial recommendations.
Information We Collect
We collect limited information, in the following ways:
- Comments. If you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection. An anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. The Gravatar privacy policy is at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
- Server and security logs. Our host and our content delivery and security provider, Cloudflare, automatically log standard request data such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested in order to keep the Site secure and running.
- Analytics. We may use analytics tools such as Cloudflare analytics and Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site in aggregate. These tools may use cookies or similar technologies.
We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These last about one year. If you visit our login page or are an administrator, additional temporary cookies may be set to manage your session. Affiliate networks and embedded third parties may set their own cookies as described in this policy. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this Site may include embedded content, for example videos or images. Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that other website directly, and those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with that content.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or rent your personal information. Limited data is processed by the service providers that help us run the Site, including our hosting provider, Cloudflare, comment and spam-detection services, analytics providers, and the affiliate networks whose links appear on the Site. If an administrator requests a password reset, that IP address is included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. Server and analytics logs are retained for a limited period consistent with our providers’ standard practices.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, or to opt out of certain processing. To make a request, contact us using the details below. This does not include data we are required to keep for legal, security, or administrative reasons.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when we post the revised policy on this page, and we will update the date below.
