Shopify and Other Service Providers
Garden Wrld is hosted on Shopify.

Purchases made on third-party sites are governed by those retailers' privacy policies and terms.
If you subscribe to Garden Wrld emails, we may use your email address to send content, updates, or marketing messages. You can unsubscribe using the link included in marketing emails.
Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising
Some transfers of online identifiers or browsing activity to analytics or advertising partners may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” under certain U.S. state privacy laws even when no money is exchanged for the information. Where applicable, you may opt out through Your Privacy Choices or by contacting us.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of personal information, or to opt out of certain sale, sharing, or targeted advertising.

Retention and Security
