Your information

Privacy policy

Effective October 29, 2026

This policy explains how Grow Generational Roots handles information submitted through this website. Contact hello@growgenerationalroots.com with questions or requests.

What we collect and why

The contact form collects your name, email address, topic, message, consent, and submission time so Yashica can review and respond to your inquiry. The group workshop form also collects your organization, audience and learning goals, estimated attendance, preferred format, location, and any dates, budget, access or setup needs, and notes you choose to provide. These details help us plan and respond to your group request. Please avoid medical details or other sensitive information. The updates form collects your name, email address, signup consent, submission time, email delivery status, and subscription status so we can send the class announcements and gardening information you request. Contacting us does not automatically subscribe you to updates.

Where information goes

Form submissions are stored in a private website dashboard for Grow Generational Roots. We use Resend to send submission notifications to our business inbox. Resend processes the submission details needed to deliver these notifications. These owner notifications are separate from subscriber updates. New updates-list subscribers receive a welcome email through Resend with a link to the free garden sheets and an unsubscribe link. Contact and workshop inquiries receive an automatic receipt email through Resend. A workshop receipt does not confirm a booking, and neither inquiry form subscribes you to marketing updates. Our hosting and database providers process information to operate the site. Hosting services may also process technical information, such as IP addresses and request logs, for delivery, security, and troubleshooting.

We use submitted information for the purposes described here, not to sell your contact details or add you to unrelated marketing lists. Please do not send payment details or sensitive personal information through these forms.

How long we keep it

We retain contact inquiries while handling the conversation and reasonable follow-up, normally for no longer than two years unless a purchase, dispute, or legal record requires longer retention. We review older inquiries for deletion. We retain update-list information while you remain subscribed. A minimal record of an unsubscribe request may be kept to help prevent unwanted future messages. Provider backups and technical logs may follow their own retention schedules.

Unsubscribe, correction, and deletion

Email hello@growgenerationalroots.com from the address you used and tell us whether you want to unsubscribe, correct information, or request deletion. The welcome email includes an unsubscribe link. Open it and confirm to stop gardening updates and class announcements. We retain a minimal suppression record so signing up again does not silently restart emails. For help rejoining, email us. We may ask for enough information to verify the request before changing or deleting a record. We will explain if a record must be retained for a purchase, dispute, or legal obligation.

Downloads, purchases, and other websites

The free Plan Sheet can be downloaded without joining the updates list. Store, Amazon, TikTok, and educational-resource links take you to independent services with their own privacy policies. Purchases and payment details are handled by the store or payment service, not by these contact forms.

Website activity counts

We keep daily totals of public page views, clicks on garden-sheet and book-purchase links, and successfully saved signups and inquiries. Page views may be grouped by a broad source such as Google, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, email, a business-card QR code, another website, or unknown. These counts help us understand which resources people use. The activity counter stores no names, email addresses, IP addresses, full referring URLs, search terms, cookies, browser identifiers, or individual browsing histories. Form details are stored separately as described above. Browser activity counting respects Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals. Counts of saved forms are operational totals. Counts can include repeat visits and automated traffic and do not identify unique visitors. Our hosting provider may separately process technical request logs.

Website features and changes

Our website code does not add advertising trackers or marketing cookies. Hosting or sign-in services may use essential technology to operate and secure the site; the private owner dashboard requires sign-in. If our collection or use changes, we will update this page and its effective date.
