Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 23, 2026. This Privacy Policy explains what information AquaVerdia (“we”, “our”) collects when you visit aquaverdia.pages.dev, how that information is used, and the choices available to you.
Information we collect
AquaVerdia is a free informational website. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, address, or payment details. The limited information collected is:
- Contact messages: if you email us via the contact page, we receive your email address and the contents of your message so we can reply. We keep correspondence only as long as needed to handle your request.
- Technical and analytics data: like most websites, our hosting provider and any analytics tools we use may record standard technical information such as pages visited, time on page, browser type, device type, and approximate location derived from IP address. This is used in aggregate to understand which guides are useful and to keep the site running smoothly.
Cookies
We use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. In short: cookies remember basic preferences, and third-party vendors — including Google, when we display ads — may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other sites.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We intend to display advertising on AquaVerdia, including through Google AdSense. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. Some of our advertising partners may use cookies and web beacons on our site; each partner’s privacy policy governs its own use of that data.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the website and its content.
- To respond to messages you send us.
- To understand readership in aggregate (which topics help hobbyists most).
- To display relevant advertising that keeps the site free to read.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share contact details you send us with third parties except as required by law or to operate the site (for example, our hosting provider processing traffic on our behalf).
Data retention and security
Contact correspondence is kept only as long as reasonably needed. Aggregate analytics data is retained according to our analytics provider’s settings. We take reasonable technical measures to protect the site, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided to us (for example, a contact email). To make such a request, contact us through the contact page and we will respond within a reasonable time.
Children’s privacy
AquaVerdia’s content is written for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Links to other sites
Our articles sometimes link to external websites (for example, plant databases or manufacturer documentation). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time — for example, when we add new features such as advertising or analytics. The “effective date” at the top will always show the latest revision. Continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
