If we could run this site without collecting any data or using any cookies we would, however for some core functionality we have to. But we have done everything we can to keep this to an absolute minimum, which we have explained below.
Jack Wallington Garden Design Ltd. uses cookies and data very sparingly on this site and treats your security very seriously. Data and cookies are used for 1) making the site work, such as on the contact form and to subscribe to read locked content or to post a comment and 2) for website analytics. The site runs using an SSL security certificate to make your connection secure.
Where data is collected or used:
- Contact form: the contact form on this website asks for certain contact details and information related to your enquiry. This allows you to share only what you would like to, though of course we will need to know some things like name, email and phone number to be able to get in touch. Your emails are stored while required and then deleted when the enquiry is finished. We never share this information except in two instances with your permission first: 1) if you are a design client and your project is sent to landscape contractors 2) if you have entered a competition and your details are needed by the provider of a prize to send it to you.
- Google Analytics: like most websites, jackwallington.com and the community (community.jackwallington.com) uses cookies for website analytics information. Google Analytics tracks only aggregate data without a name or personal details associated, things like the number of page views each article has. Cookies are used for this to see how many times people return to the website, anonymously and in aggregate. As an example it may say “100 people visited a page in January, of which 20 people are return visitors” having read the page before.
Protecting your data
In all of these cases Jack Wallington Garden Design Ltd. will never pass or share your information to other companies. The two exceptions are with competitions when we may need to ask your permission to directly to share your info to send out a prize, and as mentioned above, when a garden design client’s project reaches the point of needing to brief contractors and suppliers.
