Who we are
YardClinic.com is an informational website covering lawn care, yard health, pests, drainage and related topics for homeowners across the United States. This policy explains what data this website may collect and how it is used.
Information we collect
We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. What we may collect today or in the future:
- Server logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider records technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit, for security and to keep the site working reliably.
- Analytics. We may use Google Analytics to understand which articles are useful and how visitors find the site. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
- Contact form. If you send us a message, we receive the details you choose to include (your name, email address and message) so we can reply.
- Comments. If commenting is enabled on an article and you choose to comment, we store the name and email address you provide.
How we use your information
We use any information collected to improve the site, respond to enquiries, and keep the site secure. We do not sell personal information, rent it, or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
Cookies
This site may use cookies, small text files stored by your browser. They help the site to remember your preferences and to measure how pages are used. Your browser settings let you block or delete cookies at any time. Blocking cookies may affect some site features.
Advertising and affiliate partners
This website may in the future display advertising served by Google AdSense and may include links to products sold through the Amazon Associates program. If and when either program is activated, this policy will be updated to explain exactly what data those services may collect and how we use the revenue they generate. No ad network or affiliate applications have been made as of the date this policy was published.
Third-party links
Articles may link to external websites, including university extension services and government sources. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites. Where an external site appears to be run by any party other than us, its own privacy policy applies.
Data retention and your rights
We keep information only as long as it is needed: contact messages until they are resolved, logs in line with our hosting provider’s standard retention, and comment data while the comment is published. Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you. Contact us using the contact details on this site and we will respond within a reasonable time.
Children’s privacy
This site is intended for adults managing their yards and gardens. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will remove it.
Security
Transmissions to this site are encrypted with HTTPS, and we take reasonable measures to protect any information we hold. No internet transmission is ever fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site grows or as legal requirements change. The date below shows when it was last updated. Material changes will be called out at the top of the policy.
Contact
To ask a question about this policy or request a change to your data, use the contact form on this site, or reply to any email from us.
