This Privacy Policy explains how Balcony Gardening Ideas collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website at https://balconygardeningideas.com.
We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about what information we collect and how it’s used.
Information We Collect
We do not collect personal information directly unless you choose to share it — for example, by contacting us or subscribing to our newsletter.
However, third-party services such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense may automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable data when you browse our website.
This may include:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- General location (city/country)
If you subscribe to our updates, leave a comment, or send us a message, we may collect personal information like your name and email address.
You can opt-out or unsubscribe from communications at any time.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Balcony Gardening Ideas uses cookies to improve your browsing experience and show relevant content.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites work more efficiently.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site — for example, which pages are most popular or how users find us.
This data helps us create better guides, articles, and user experiences.
All data is anonymous and never linked to personally identifiable information.
Google AdSense
We display ads through Google AdSense, which uses cookies to serve personalized ads based on your interests and browsing activity.
You can opt-out of personalized advertising anytime through Google Ad Settings.
By continuing to browse Balcony Gardening Ideas, you consent to our use of cookies.
You can adjust or block cookies through your browser settings at any time.
Your Data Rights
We fully support your privacy rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
You have the right to:
- Access – Request a copy of the personal data we have about you.

We may verify your identity before processing requests for security reasons.
Third-Party Services
We work with trusted services that help us analyze traffic, show relevant ads, and improve site performance:
- Google Analytics – For traffic statistics
- Google AdSense – For ad delivery and performance
These third parties may use cookies or similar technologies to collect and process your data under their own policies.
You can review them here:
Embedded Content
Some of our articles may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, Pinterest pins, or Instagram posts).
Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the source website directly, meaning those sites may collect data or use cookies independently of us.
Data Retention
Non-personal analytics data is retained for as long as necessary to improve website performance.
If you sign up for updates or contact us directly, we store your details only as long as needed to respond or until you unsubscribe.
Data Protection
We use standard website security measures, including SSL encryption and secure servers, to help protect your information.
While we do our best to keep your data safe, no online system is completely secure.
Children’s Privacy
Balcony Gardening Ideas does not knowingly collect data from children under 13 years old.
If we discover such information has been collected, it will be deleted promptly.
Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may occasionally update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements.
Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Effective Date.”
We encourage you to review this policy from time to time.
