Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Plant Girl Boss collects when you visit plantgirlboss.com, how it is used, and the choices you have. If you have any questions, please get in touch through the contact page.

Who we are

Plant Girl Boss (plantgirlboss.com) is an independent blog about growing and caring for tropical plants, especially aroids such as anthuriums and philodendrons. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Plant Girl Boss.

Information we collect

Information you give us

  • Contact form. When you send a message through our contact form, we collect your name, email address and message. We use this only to read and reply to your message.
  • Polls and forms in articles. Some articles include short polls (for example, “What is your favorite Anthurium?”). We record the answer you choose. These answers are not linked to your name or email address.
  • Newsletter. If you subscribe to our newsletter, you give us your email address. Our newsletter is run on beehiiv, which stores your email address and sends the newsletter on our behalf. Every email includes a link to unsubscribe at any time.

Information collected automatically

  • Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site: for example, which pages are read most, how long people stay, and roughly where visitors are located. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as your device type, browser, approximate location and the pages you visit. We use this only in aggregate, to improve the site.
  • Security and performance. The site is delivered through Cloudflare and hosted with Cloudways. Like most websites, these services automatically process technical information such as your IP address and browser details in order to deliver pages quickly, protect the site from attacks and keep it running.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. We use cookies for analytics (Google Analytics), and our hosting and security providers may set cookies needed for the site to work properly. The newsletter signup box is provided by beehiiv and may also set cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, although analytics will not count your visit. You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Embedded content and links

Some pages include content embedded from other websites, such as the beehiiv newsletter signup box. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website, and that website may collect data about you under its own privacy policy. Our pages also link to other websites, such as our Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook profiles. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.

How we use your information

  • To reply to messages you send us.
  • To send the newsletter you signed up for.
  • To understand how the site is used and improve its content.
  • To keep the site secure and working properly.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone except the service providers named in this policy, who process it on our behalf, or where the law requires us to.

Service providers we use

Some of these providers may store or process data outside your country, including in the United States.

How long we keep your information

  • Contact form messages are kept for as long as needed to respond to your enquiry, and then deleted.
  • Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe.
  • Poll answers are kept as anonymous totals.
  • Analytics data is kept according to Google Analytics’ retention settings.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, and to object to or restrict how we use it. To make a request, contact us through the contact page and we will respond as soon as we can. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link at the bottom of every email.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the European Union), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we start using a new service. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed.
