Privacy Policy

At Best Garden Care Shop, we value your privacy as much as you value your garden’s health. This policy explains how we cultivate trust by protecting your personal information while helping you grow your gardening passion.

1. Information We Collect

Like carefully selecting the right tools for your garden, we only collect necessary information to serve you better:

• Personal Identification: Name, email, shipping/billing address when you make purchases
• Payment Information: Encrypted card details processed through secure payment gateways (we never store full card numbers)
• Garden Preferences: Products you view or purchase to help recommend suitable items
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information for website optimization
• Communication Records: Emails or messages sent to our customer service

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data like nutrients for plants – only to help you grow a better shopping experience:

• Process and fulfill your orders for garden essentials
• Provide customer support for your gardening questions
• Improve our website and product offerings
• Send relevant gardening tips and promotions (only with your consent)

• Never Sold: We will never sell your personal information to third parties

4. International Data Transfers

As we serve gardeners globally (except certain Asian and remote areas), your data may be transferred internationally with appropriate safeguards in place.

5. Data Security

We protect your information with the same diligence as protecting delicate seedlings:

• 256-bit SSL encryption (military-grade security)
• Regular security audits and monitoring

• Opt-out of marketing communications
• Request data portability
• Withdraw consent where applicable
• Lodge complaints with data protection authorities

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].
