Welcome to GardenJoy Shop (“we,” “us,” or “our”). At GardenJoy Shop, we’re committed to protecting your privacy while helping you create your perfect outdoor space. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website gardenjoypro.com.

  • To send you promotional materials (only if you’ve opted in)
  • To prevent fraud and enhance the security of our website

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We value your privacy as much as you value your garden’s privacy. We only share your information when necessary:

  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, customer information may be transferred as a business asset.

We protect your data with the same care we recommend for your garden tools:

  • All transactions are protected with SSL encryption (bank-level security)
  • We never store your full payment details on our servers
  • We implement industry-standard security measures to protect against unauthorized access
  • Data is stored on secure servers with limited access

While we implement these measures, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and protect your login information.
