Newsletter subscribers. If you sign up to our newsletter, we collect your email address. We use this solely to send you new article notifications. We do not sell, rent or share your email address with any third party.
Contact form submissions. If you send us a message via the contact form, we collect your name, email address and the content of your message. We use this information only to respond to your enquiry. Messages are stored securely in our database and are not shared with third parties.
Usage data. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. This data is anonymised and aggregated. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to track sessions. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Server logs. Our web host (HostGator) automatically logs basic request data including IP addresses, browser type and pages accessed. These logs are used for security and troubleshooting purposes and are retained for a limited period.
We use the following cookies on this site:
Session cookie — a temporary cookie used to maintain your session when using the contact form and newsletter signup (for CSRF protection). This cookie expires when you close your browser.
Google Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to track usage data. These include _ga (expires 2 years) and _ga_* (expires 2 years). See Google's Privacy Policy for details on how Google processes this data.
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies or any other tracking technology beyond those listed above.
Some links on this site — particularly on the Resources & Shop page and in product review articles — are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you.
When you click an affiliate link, the retailer's website may set its own cookies and collect data in accordance with their own privacy policy. We do not receive any personal information about you from these transactions — only aggregate commission reports.
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or product assessments. We disclose affiliate links clearly wherever they appear.
Your data is stored on servers provided by HostGator in the United States. HostGator operates under industry-standard security practices including encrypted connections and access controls.
We retain contact form messages for up to 12 months, after which they are deleted. Newsletter subscriber emails are retained until you unsubscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time by contacting us at contact@bushbotanicaau.com.
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure.
