Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 5, 2026 · Last Updated: August 5, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Grow a Garden Calculator ("we", "our", or "us") — operating the website gagcalculatorvalue.com ("the Site") — collects, uses, and protects information about visitors. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

TL;DR

We use Google Analytics for aggregate traffic statistics and may display advertising in the future through third-party ad networks. We do not sell your personal data. You can opt out at any time using standard browser controls or ad-network opt-out pages.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

The Site is a free-to-use, no-login calculator. We do not require registration and do not knowingly collect names, email addresses, Roblox usernames, passwords, phone numbers, or payment information. If you voluntarily contact us via email or a contact form, we will only use the information provided to respond to your inquiry.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, our servers and third-party analytics/advertising providers may automatically collect:

  • Log data: IP address (anonymized for analytics), browser type, browser language, operating system, referring URL, timestamp, and pages visited.
  • Device information: Device type (mobile/desktop/tablet), screen resolution, and general geographic region (city/country level).
  • Usage information: Which calculator features you use, which pages you view, how long you spend on each page, and how you navigate the Site.

1.3 Cookies & Similar Technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage, pixels, and web beacons) for the following purposes:

  • Strictly necessary: To remember your calculator preferences (last selected crop, mutation choices) via localStorage. These do not track you across sites.
  • Analytics: Google Analytics 4 sets first-party cookies (_ga, _ga_*) to distinguish unique visitors and measure traffic patterns.
  • Advertising (future): If and when we display ads, third-party ad networks (Google AdSense, Mediavine, Monetag, or similar) may set cookies to serve relevant ads and measure performance.

You can control or delete cookies at any time using your browser settings. Deleting cookies will not affect the core functionality of the calculator, but may reset your saved preferences.

2. How We Use Information

We use the automatically collected information to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site (fix bugs, optimize performance, adapt layout for your device).
  • Understand aggregate visitor behavior (which pages are popular, average session duration, referral sources).
  • Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and security incidents.
  • Comply with legal obligations.
  • Display advertising and measure ad effectiveness (if/when ads are enabled).

3. Third-Party Services

3.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (property G-YV0VKXF9BM) to understand aggregate traffic. Google Analytics may set cookies and collect information such as your IP address (anonymized), device/browser, and pages viewed. This data is processed by Google in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

3.2 Advertising Partners (Google AdSense, Mediavine, Monetag)

We may display advertising on the Site delivered by third-party ad networks including but not limited to Google AdSense, Mediavine, and Monetag. These networks may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to:

  • Serve ads relevant to your interests based on your browsing behavior on this Site and other sites you have visited (behavioral / interest-based advertising).
  • Measure ad performance and prevent fraudulent impressions.
  • Provide analytics on aggregate ad viewership.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our Site. Google's use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

3.3 Google Fonts

We load the Inter font family from Google Fonts. Google may log anonymized request data as part of delivering the font (see Google Fonts Privacy FAQ).

3.4 Content Delivery & Hosting

The Site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect log data (IP addresses, request headers) for security and DDoS protection purposes as described in Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, our legal basis for processing your personal data is:

  • Legitimate interests — operating and improving the Site, aggregate analytics, security, and fraud prevention.
  • Consent — where required, for personalized advertising and non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (GDPR, CCPA, UK GDPR, etc.), you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction or deletion of your data.
  • Object to processing or request data portability.
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell personal data).
  • Opt out of personalized advertising via Digital Advertising Alliance, Your Online Choices (EU), or Network Advertising Initiative.
  • Withdraw consent for cookies via your browser settings.

To exercise these rights, contact us via the details in Section 10.

6. California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. However, if targeted advertising is displayed, this may be considered "sharing" under CPRA; you may opt out via the ad-network links above.

7. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Grow a Garden is a Roblox game enjoyed by players of all ages, including children under 13. Our Site is a general-audience information resource and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will delete such information promptly.

For advertising served to visitors, our ad partners are contractually required to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and equivalent laws. Where required, only non-personalized ads will be shown to visitors identified as under 13.

8. Data Retention

Aggregate analytics data is retained by Google Analytics for up to 14 months (configurable in GA4). Log files may be retained by our hosting provider for up to 30 days. We do not retain personal identifiers beyond what is technically necessary.

9. Security

The Site is served entirely over HTTPS. We do not store personal data on our servers because our calculator runs entirely in your browser. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or advertising partners. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
