Privacy Policy
A legal disclaimer
**Effective Date: March 5, 2026**
At Our Garden & Soulful Artistry (Leah-Frankie.com), operated by Frankie and Leah in Spokane, Washington, we value your trust and are committed to protecting your privacy in a gentle, transparent way. This short policy explains how we handle your information as you explore our site, download our free guide "Your First Therapeutic Garden Space," or engage with our therapeutic gardening content. We don't hustle with your data—it's treated with the same care we give our gardens.
#### What Information We Collect
- **Personal Information**: When you sign up for our newsletter, download our free guide, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, and any details you voluntarily share (e.g., about your life transitions).
- **Non-Personal Information**: Like most sites, we automatically gather usage data via cookies or similar tools, such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and time spent on the site. This helps us improve your experience without identifying you personally.
- **No Sensitive Data**: We don't collect financial details, health information, or anything beyond what's needed for our soulful community.
#### How We Use Your Information
- To send you our free guide, newsletters, or updates on therapeutic garden tips, blog posts, and whimsical ideas—all with your permission and an easy unsubscribe option.
- To understand site usage and make it more nurturing (e.g., via Google Analytics for anonymous trends).
- We never use your data for targeted ads or anything that feels intrusive. It's all about supporting your gentle journey through retirement, empty nests, or other transitions.
#### Sharing Your Information
- We don't sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing. Ever.
- We may share anonymized data with service providers (e.g., Wix for hosting, Google for analytics) who help run the site, but they're bound by strict privacy agreements.
- If required by law (e.g., a court order), we'd comply—but we'd notify you if possible.
#### Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your data, like using secure hosting and encryption for forms. But remember, no online space is 100% secure, so we encourage you to use strong passwords and be mindful of what you share.
#### Your Rights
- Access, update, or delete your info: Email us at [your email, e.g., info@leah-frankie.com] anytime.
- Opt out: Unsubscribe from emails with one click, or request cookie opt-out.
- For Washington residents: Under state laws, you have rights to know what data we hold and request deletion.
#### Children's Privacy
Our site is for adults over 18 navigating life transitions. We don't knowingly collect data from children under 13.
#### Changes to This Policy
We'll update this if needed and note the date. Check back occasionally, or we'll email subscribers about big changes.
If you have questions or need support, reach out—we're here with open hearts. Contact: [your email or contact form link]. Thank you for letting us be part of your healing garden story. 🌱
