At Tree Plant Rescue (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website treeplantrescue.com (the “Site”), interact with our services, or contact us. By using the Site, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Our goal is to provide a safe and transparent experience while supporting our mission to rescue and plant trees.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to improve your experience, respond to inquiries, and operate our Site effectively. The types of information we may collect include:

Personal Information

•  Contact Details: Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address if you submit a contact form, sign up for our newsletter, make a donation, or register for events.

•  Payment Information: If you make a donation or purchase merchandise, we collect billing details (e.g., credit card number, expiration date) processed securely through third-party payment providers. We do not store full payment card details on our servers.

•  User-Generated Content: Comments, photos, or stories you share on our blog or forums.

Non-Personal Information

•  Usage Data: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, time spent on the Site, and referring/exit pages.

We only collect information that is necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy.

2. How We Collect Information

•  Directly from You: When you fill out forms, subscribe to updates, or communicate with us via email or the Site.

•  Automatically: Through cookies, web beacons, and analytics tools as you navigate the Site.

•  From Third Parties: Occasionally from partners (e.g., event organizers) if you interact with us through their platforms, but only with your consent.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

•  Provide and improve our services, such as sending newsletters, processing donations, or responding to inquiries.

•  Communicate with you about updates, events, or tree rescue initiatives.

•  Analyze Site usage to enhance user experience and content relevance.

•  Prevent fraud and ensure Site security.

•  Comply with legal obligations.

We will not use your information for marketing unrelated to our mission without your explicit consent.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share it only in these limited circumstances:

•  Service Providers: With trusted third parties (e.g., email service providers like Mailchimp, payment processors like Stripe, or hosting services) who help us operate the Site. These parties are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide.

•  Legal Requirements: If required by law, such as in response to a subpoena or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

•  Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We ensure that any shared information is protected through appropriate safeguards.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site uses cookies—small files stored on your device—to enhance functionality and track usage. Cookies help us:

•  Remember your preferences (e.g., language settings).

•  Analyze traffic patterns via tools like Google Analytics.

You can control cookies through your browser settings:

•  Opt out of Google Analytics by visiting Google’s opt-out page.

•  Disable cookies entirely, though this may limit Site features.

We do not use cookies for targeted advertising.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use strong passwords and keep your account details confidential.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights under laws like GDPR (EU) or CCPA (California):

•  Access, correct, or delete your personal information.

•  Opt out of certain uses (e.g., newsletters via the unsubscribe link).

•  Withdraw consent at any time.

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@treeplantrescue.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have done so, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians can contact us for assistance.

9. International Data Transfers

The Site is hosted in the United States. If you access it from outside the US, your information may be transferred to and processed in the US, where privacy laws may differ. By using the Site, you consent to this transfer.
