Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

Welcome to Cheap US Topiary Plant Store (“we,” “us,” or “our”). At ustopiaryplant.com, we value your privacy as much as we value nurturing our premium azaleas, clematis vines, and hydrangeas. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or make purchases from our Baltimore nursery.

1. Information We Collect

Just as we carefully select each juniper and perennial plant for your garden, we thoughtfully collect only necessary information to serve you better:

• Personal Information: Name, email address, shipping address, phone number, and payment details when you make a purchase or create an account
• Transaction Information: Details about your plant purchases, payment methods, and order history
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and website usage patterns
• Communication Records: Correspondence with our horticulture team via email or contact forms

2. How We Use Your Information

We cultivate your data with the same care we devote to our topiary plants:

• Process and fulfill your orders for native plants, conifers, and other botanical specimens
• Provide customer support and respond to your inquiries about our products
• Improve our website and services to better serve gardening enthusiasts worldwide
• Send order confirmations, shipping notifications, and (with your consent) horticultural newsletters
• Prevent fraud and enhance the security of our payment systems
• Comply with legal obligations related to international plant shipments

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Like our patented 3-Layer Protection System for plant shipments, we implement strict controls when sharing your information:

• Service Providers: Trusted partners who assist with payment processing (Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, JCB), shipping, and website operations
• Legal Requirements: When necessary to comply with laws or protect our rights and property
• Business Transfers: In connection with any merger or sale of company assets

We never sell your personal information to third-party marketers.

4. International Data Transfers

As specialists shipping premium plants worldwide (excluding certain Asian countries and remote regions), your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure all transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.

5. Data Security

We protect your data with the same vigilance we apply to safeguarding our clematis vines during transit:

• SSL encryption (256-bit) for all transactions
• Zone-specific fraud detection monitored by our Baltimore-based team
• Secure storage with limited access to authorized personnel
• Regular security assessments of our systems

6. Your Rights

Just as we offer payment flexibility for large landscape projects, we respect your rights regarding personal data:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal information
• Object to or restrict certain data processing
• Withdraw consent for marketing communications
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise these rights, please contact us at the information below.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies – small data files that help your browsing experience grow as beautifully as our hydrangeas:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for secure checkout and account functions
• Performance Cookies: Help us improve our website’s functionality
• Analytics Cookies: Understand how gardeners navigate our site
• Marketing Cookies: (Optional) Show relevant plant recommendations

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not designed for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without parental consent.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our nursery grows. Significant changes will be communicated through our website or email.

10. Contact Us

Thank you for trusting us with your botanical needs and your personal information. We’re committed to protecting both with the same dedication we show to cultivating our plants.

Happy gardening!
