Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 29, 2026

What We Collect

WhenToPlant collects minimal data. We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site. This collects anonymous usage data including pages viewed, time on site, device type, and approximate geographic location (city level). We do not collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it (for example, by emailing us).

When you use our planting date tool, the zip code you enter is processed entirely in your browser. It is not sent to our servers or stored anywhere.

Cookies

WhenToPlant uses cookies for analytics purposes (Google Analytics). These cookies help us understand which pages are most useful and how people navigate the site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.

In the future, if we add display advertising to this site, additional cookies may be set by our advertising partners. We will update this policy and implement a cookie consent mechanism before that happens.

Third-Party Services

We currently use the following third-party services:

Google Analytics (GA4): For anonymous site usage analytics. Google's Privacy Policy.

Google Fonts: For typography. Fonts are loaded from Google's servers, which means Google may receive your IP address. Google Fonts Privacy FAQ.

Affiliate Links

Some pages on this site contain affiliate links to products on Amazon and other retailers. When you click these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These affiliate programs may use cookies to track referrals. See our How We Make Money page for full transparency.

Your Rights

GDPR (European Union): You have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you. Since we collect minimal data, this primarily applies to analytics data. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

CCPA (California): California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected about them, to request deletion of their personal information, and to opt out of the sale of their personal information. We do not sell personal information.

Data Security

Our site is served over HTTPS to protect data in transit. We do not store user-submitted data on our servers. We take reasonable precautions to protect any information we do collect.

Children's Privacy

WhenToPlant is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
