At Lawn Trend, we value your privacy, and we are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect the information you provide to us through our website, https://lawntrend.com.

Information Collection and Use:

Comments:

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data provided in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and the browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.

Gravatar:

An anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. For more information, please refer to the Gravatar service privacy policy here. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Cookies:

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are designed for your convenience, so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment.

When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser, containing no personal data. This cookie merely indicates the post ID of the article you edited and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites:

Our articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content functions in the same manner as if you visited the other website.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content.

If you have an account and are logged in to that website, your interactions with the embedded content may be tracked.

Data Sharing:

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Data Retention:

If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata will be retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

Your Rights:

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you.

You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
