Privacy Policy

This policy explains what Wikivec Inc. (“we”) collects when you use Garden Planner Online, and why. The short version: without an account your garden stays in your browser and we hold nothing that identifies you. With an account we keep your email, your gardens and, if you buy Pro, your subscription.

Your garden

Without an account, your garden (its beds, crops, ZIP code and dates) is saved in your browser's storage on your device. It stays until you delete it or your browser clears the site's data; Safari does that after a week without a visit. Looking up a ZIP code downloads a file of public weather-station data from our site; the ZIP code isn't sent anywhere else.

What we do collect

• Standard request logs from our host (IP address, browser, pages requested), kept for security and reliability.
• Anonymous counts: how many visits open the planner, find their frost dates, plant a bed and tap a Pro button. These use a random number made for each page visit and kept only in memory, never a cookie.
• Anonymous usage statistics: which pages are viewed and which parts of the planner are used, without cookies and without the garden itself.
• If you arrive by clicking one of our ads, or from a link tagged with a campaign, a first-party cookie (gpo_src, 90 days) remembers that first visit: the ad's click ID and campaign, the page you landed on and when. If you start Pro, they are attached to the subscription so we can tell whether our ads pay for themselves. For ad visitors only, Google's ad tag loads to count two events (a garden planted, a trial started); Google sets its own cookies for that. We don't use ads for remarketing.
• If you pick a light or dark theme, or type a ZIP code into a tool, that is saved in your browser's local storage, on your device only.

Garden Planner Online shows no ads.

Accounts and Pro

An account holds your email address (or your Google account's email and name) and your sign-in records. Gardens you plan while signed in are stored in our database, linked to your account: their names, beds, crops, ZIP code, the weather station and frost dates, and the jobs you've ticked off. Payments are handled by Stripe; we see your subscription's status and plan, never your full card number.

If you switch on the weekly reminder (Pro), we email you the week's garden jobs every Monday. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link.

How long we keep it, and deleting it

• A garden in your browser stays there until you delete it or your browser clears the site's data.
• Gardens in your account stay while the account exists, including after Pro ends, so you can still open, print and delete them.
• You can delete any garden at any time from Your gardens.
• Deleting your account (Account › Manage account › Delete account) cancels any subscription and deletes your gardens and our record of your subscription. Copies kept by our database provider for recovery expire within 7 days. Stripe keeps payment records as the law requires.

Who processes data for us

• Vercel: hosting the website, and anonymous usage statistics (pages viewed, which tools are used), without cookies. Data: IP address and request logs; pages viewed, tool events, referring site, browser type, approximate country.
• Clerk: accounts and signing in, if you make an account. Data: your email address (or Google account email and name), sign-in records, IP address and browser.
• Stripe: Pro subscriptions, payments and receipts. Data: your name, email address, card and billing details (we never see your full card number).
• Neon: storing the gardens you save to your account. Data: your garden plans, their ZIP code and frost dates, linked to your account.
• Resend: sending the weekly reminder email, if you switch it on (Pro). Data: your email address and that week's garden jobs.
• Upstash: anonymous counters, and whether an account has Pro. Data: a random number made for each page visit, and whether it came from an ad; your account ID and subscription status, if you have an account.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data we hold, and to object to or restrict its use. With an account you can do most of this yourself: edit or delete your gardens, or delete the account. Write to us for anything else.

Children

Garden Planner Online is a general-audience site and isn't directed at children under 13. Accounts are for people 13 and older.
