Who we are
The MagiK Garden is a backyard nursery operated by one person based out of Blue Bell, PA, which utilizes a drop point system for delivering orders to customers. There is currently no permanent retail location or set-up. Unless an opportunity comes up in which I may attend a native plant sale market, the only way to order plants is through this site: https://themagikgarden.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, the information collected includes the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An email with the comment is sent to the author to approve the comment before it appears on the site. Comments are not automatically approved without the author’s consent. This is to prevent spam comments from bot accounts.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on this site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies which are stored in your browser. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit the login page, the site will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, the site will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Is your data shared?
There is no intentional sharing of your personal data. In order to make this website function properly, I have carefully selected certain specific plugins to make it work, which I have kept as limited as possible. As far as I am aware, those plugins do not share your personal data either. Any data that is collected in order to make things work properly should not have any personal identifiable information associated with it.
If you create a free account, which is necessary in order to place an order, that information is only visible to me. I only ever need it to be able to contact you about an order or any important, upcoming information. I do my absolute best to stay on top of all updates and utilize best security practices to reduce any chances of hacking (which would affect me as well). I take security very seriously and am not a fan of marketing data to advertisers – in fact this is why I have zero interest in setting up any sort of commonly used tracking services for advertising or otherwise. This is a local business that supports the local community. Reputation and word of mouth carry far more weight than advertising services.
How long I retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so the site can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Personal information provided in order to register an account for this site is stored indefinitely unless asked to have removed. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username).
Payment information
I use third party payment processing services in order to process your payment, and I have no access to your payment information. I also do not have the ability to access or view any saved payment information. If you wish to delete or edit your payment information, you would need to do this from your account.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data available on this site, including any data you have provided. You can also request to delete your personal data. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes (such as order information or communications between us). Note that any deletion of personal data is permanent. Interacting with the site, creating a new account, or placing another order will create new data, but it will not be linked to your previous account.
Where your data is sent
Nowhere. Except an automated spam detection service if you choose to leave a comment, and a third party payment processor if you place an order. But other than that, nowhere.
