Privacy

The calculators work in your browser. You decide whether to save, download or share a plan.

Plans saved on your device

Saving a plan uses this browser’s local storage. It stores bed shapes, measurements, relative positions, selected catalog products and planning preferences. It does not create an account or synchronize your devices. Clearing site storage removes the saved plan.

Shared links include the plan in the part of the URL after the # symbol. Anyone with the link can read those measurements. Downloaded files contain the same plan fields. Private soil quotes and water-pressure readings are excluded from saved and shared plans. Private quote fields are also hidden when printing.

Analytics and cookie choices

We use Plausible and Google Analytics to understand which pages and tools are useful. Measurement includes page visits and actions such as using a tool or following a product link.

Tool events use fixed action categories. They do not include calculator inputs, water pressure, private quotes, uploaded plans or contact messages.

Plausible provides aggregate reports about page visits, referring pages, time spent and scrolling. We send it the page address without its query string or fragment. Its service also receives your referring address, IP address and browser details.

Plausible counts every visit without cookies. It may receive browser and device information and a referring page.

Google Analytics is run by Google, which receives the page address, the actions we measure on this site and browser and device information, and sets cookies that tell repeat visits apart. Its advertising features are off.

In the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and whenever we cannot tell which country a visit comes from, Google Analytics loads only after you choose Accept on the bar at the bottom of the page. Decline loads nothing from Google. Your choice is kept in this browser for six months, then the bar asks again.

Elsewhere, Google Analytics loads with each page unless you choose Decline. Cloudflare, which delivers our pages, tells your browser which country the visit comes from.

Wherever you are, Cookie choices at the bottom of any page, or the button below, changes your choice. Decline stops Google Analytics on this site in this browser and deletes its analytics cookies. If analytics was running, the page reloads to apply your choice. Decline holds on every page; outside the countries above it is kept until you change it.

When Google Analytics loads, we send it the page address without its query string, fragment or referring address. Google also receives connection information, such as your IP address and browser details.

Cookies and local storage

This site sets no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking cookies.

Plausible is cookieless. It counts visits without storing an identifier on your device.

A saved garden plan or planting plan uses this browser’s local storage. It stays on your device, it is not a cookie, it is never sent to us. Opening a different plan leaves it as it is; it goes when you save another plan over it or clear this site’s data in your browser. Private quotes and measured water pressure are excluded from anything you save, share or print.

If you are in the EU, the EEA or the UK

We rely on legitimate interests to run Plausible’s aggregate, cookieless measurement of which pages and tools are useful. Google Analytics runs only with your consent: it loads after you choose Accept on the cookie bar, and Decline, or Cookie choices at the bottom of any page, keeps it off.

Our measurement, hosting and contact providers sit outside the EEA. Google LLC (Google Analytics, once you accept), Amazon (product photographs and product links) and our own Plausible instance receive connection information, including your IP address, when a page or an image loads. Cloudflare and Discord hold the reports sent through our contact form. Standard contractual clauses cover the transfers our providers operate under.

You can ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be deleted, or object to this measurement. We hold no account, no mailing list and no identifier for you, so unless you have sent us a report the practical answer is usually that there is nothing to return. Send your request through the contact form and choose “Privacy or rights request”.

If a display advertising network is added to this site later, it will bring its own vendors and its own consent request, and this page will say so before that happens.

The other companies involved

Cloudflare routes and protects the domain, runs the security check on our contact form and keeps the reports sent through it. Discord holds a copy of each report in a private channel our team reads. Plausible Analytics, our own instance, measures page visits. Google Analytics measures page visits and tool use where it loads, as described above. Amazon serves product photographs at page load and receives the request when one is displayed. Amazon also records the referral when you follow one of our product links, which is how the site is funded. The affiliate disclosure sets that out in full.

Following any product or source link opens a site with its own privacy practices. No purchase is processed here and no payment detail ever reaches this site.

Product images and retailer links

Product photos may load directly from Amazon, which receives the network information needed to serve the image, including your IP address. Opening a retailer link takes you to a separate website with its own privacy practices.

Contact messages

The contact form sends your report to our contact inbox at Cloudflare: the reason you choose, your name if you give one, your reply address, the summary, the details and any page or source link you add. Cloudflare runs an automatic security check that never asks you to solve anything, and it sees your IP address and browser information while doing so. To stop repeat sending, we keep a scrambled form of your IP address and reply address for two hours, never the addresses themselves.

We keep each report for 12 months, then it is deleted automatically, and a copy goes to a private Discord channel our team reads. We use your reply address only to answer you, never for marketing. To see or delete a report you sent, ask through the same form and we will delete both copies.

Do not include passwords, payment details, order numbers or other sensitive personal information in a report.
