Last Updated: [Insert Date]

Welcome to Plants Sale (“we”, “us”, or “our”). At houseplantsdeal.com, we’re as committed to protecting your personal data as we are to helping your plants thrive. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or make a purchase from us.

1. Information We Collect

Just as different plants need different care, we collect various types of information to provide you with the best service:

• Personal Information: When you make a purchase or create an account, we collect your name, email address, shipping address, payment information, and phone number.
• Transaction Data: Details about purchases you’ve made, including products ordered, payment method, and order history.
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and how you interact with our website.
• Communication Data: Any correspondence you have with our customer service team.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to nurture our relationship with you, much like you’d care for your plants:

• To communicate with you about your orders, account, or inquiries
• To improve our website and product offerings
• To prevent fraud and enhance security
• To comply with legal obligations
• With your consent, to send you gardening tips and promotional offers

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We treat your personal information like rare seeds – with care and only shared when necessary:
