Privacy Policy

Valley Gardens Corporation ("Valley Gardens," "we," "us," or "our") operates valleygardenswv.com (the "Site"). This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site or contact us, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information you give us

The Site does not have forms or accounts. If you call us or email us using the phone number or email addresses on the Site, we receive the information you choose to share, such as your name, phone number, email address, property address, and details about your project. If you contact us about selling your business, we treat what you share as confidential and use it only to evaluate and discuss a potential transaction.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, some information is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies:

• Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how people find and use the Site. It collects information such as the pages you view, how long you stay, how you scroll, which links you click (including our phone and email links), the website or search that referred you, your browser and device type, and your general location (city or region) based on your IP address. Google Analytics does not give us your name, email address, or exact location.
• Google Analytics advertising features. We have turned on Google signals, which lets Google Analytics give us aggregated reports about our visitors' age ranges, gender, and interests, based on data from people who are signed in to Google and have allowed ad personalization. These reports are summaries; they do not identify individual visitors.
• Embedded maps. Our Contact page shows Google Maps of our offices. When those maps load, Google may collect information about your visit under its own privacy policy.
• Server logs. Our hosting provider keeps standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser type, and the time of each request) to operate and secure the Site.

To learn how Google uses this information, see How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

How we use information

• To respond to your questions and prepare proposals.
• To provide and schedule our landscaping, maintenance, and snow and ice services.
• To understand which pages and services interest visitors so we can improve the Site.
• To keep the Site secure and working properly.
• To comply with legal obligations.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:

• With service providers that help us run the Site and our business, such as our website host and Google Analytics, who may use it only to provide those services.
• When required by law, or to protect our rights, our customers, or others.
• As part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business.

Your choices

• Opt out of Google Analytics on all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Control ad personalization in your Google account at My Ad Center.
• Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The Site will still work without them.
• Ask about your information. You can ask us what personal information we have from you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by contacting us below.

Some browsers send "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is no common standard for these signals, the Site does not currently respond to them.

How long we keep information

Google Analytics keeps visit-level data for up to 14 months, after which only summary reports remain. We keep information you send us by phone or email for as long as needed to serve you and to meet our business and legal record-keeping needs.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect the information we hold, and the Site is served over a secure (HTTPS) connection. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

The Site is meant for adults looking for landscaping services. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Links to other sites

The Site links to other websites, such as our Facebook and LinkedIn pages. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for how they handle your information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page.
