Privacy Policy

Davison’s Nursery Inc (“Davison’s Nursery,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website and online store. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. By using our website or placing an order with us, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide to Us

• Account and order information: name, billing and shipping address, email address, phone number, and order history;
• Payment information: processed securely by our payment processor (see Section 4) — we do not store your full card number on our servers;
• Communications: information you provide when you contact us by email, phone, or a contact form, including for customer support, returns, or general inquiries; and
• Newsletter and marketing sign-up: your email address (and name, if provided) when you subscribe to our newsletter or marketing emails.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Cookies and similar technologies: our website, built on WordPress/WooCommerce, uses cookies to operate the shopping cart, remember items in your cart, keep you signed in, and remember your preferences;
• Analytics data: we use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our site, such as pages viewed, time on site, browser and device type, approximate location (city/region level), and referring website; and
• Log data: our hosting provider automatically logs standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, and access times for security and site-performance purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Process, fulfill, and ship your orders, and manage returns or exchanges;
• Communicate with you about your order, account, or customer service requests;
• Send marketing emails and newsletters, where you have opted in (see Section 5);
• Operate, maintain, and improve our website and product catalog;
• Analyze site traffic and usage trends through Google Analytics;
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, security issues, or technical problems; and
• Comply with legal obligations, such as tax and accounting requirements.

3. Cookies and Google Analytics

Our website uses cookies set by WordPress/WooCommerce (to run core store functions like the cart and checkout) and by Google Analytics (to help us understand site traffic and usage). You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; note that blocking cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our site, such as the shopping cart.

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For more information about how Google uses data collected through Analytics, see Google’s Privacy & Terms page.

4. Payment Processing

Payments made on our website are processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. When you check out, your payment details are transmitted directly to Stripe through a secure, encrypted connection. We do not store your full payment card number on our servers. Stripe’s own privacy practices govern the handling of your payment data; see Stripe’s privacy policy for details.

5. Email Marketing and Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter or opt in to marketing emails at checkout or through a sign-up form, we use Mailchimp to send you emails about new products, promotions, and updates from Davison’s Nursery. We only send marketing emails to customers who have opted in.

Every marketing email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking that link or by contacting us directly. Opting out of marketing emails does not affect transactional emails (such as order confirmations or shipping updates), which are necessary to fulfill your order.

We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, including by not using misleading subject lines or sender information and by honoring opt-out requests promptly.

6. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as needed to operate our business, specifically with:

We may also disclose information if required by law, to comply with legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Davison’s Nursery Inc, our customers, or others.

7. Data Retention

We retain order and account information for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose it was collected for, including to comply with tax, accounting, and legal recordkeeping requirements. If you unsubscribe from marketing emails, we retain your email address on a suppression list to ensure we don’t email you again.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards — including encrypted checkout and a reputable payment processor — to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Privacy Choices

• Marketing emails: unsubscribe anytime via the link in any marketing email, or contact us;
• Cookies: manage or delete cookies through your browser settings, or opt out of Google Analytics as described in Section 3; and
• Access, correction, or deletion: you may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to our legal recordkeeping obligations (e.g., completed order records we must retain for tax purposes).

10. State Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws (such as California’s CCPA/CPRA and similar laws in other states) — for example, the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to request its deletion, and to opt out of certain uses. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below.

11. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 13, and 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.

12. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no common industry standard for how to respond to these signals, our website does not currently respond to them differently than it would otherwise.

13. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

14. International Visitors

Our website and services are intended for visitors and customers in the United States. If you access our site from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects when the most recent changes were made. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
