Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Farming Around (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit farmingaround.com (the “Site”).

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide

  • Comments: when you leave a comment, we collect the name, email address and website you enter, the comment itself, your IP address and browser user agent (to help detect spam).
  • Contact messages: if you email us, we receive your email address and any information you include.
  • Newsletter: if you subscribe to a newsletter, we collect your email address to send it to you. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Information collected automatically

  • Log and usage data: IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, referring pages and time spent on the Site.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored on your device (see Section 4).

2. How We Use Information

  • To operate, maintain and improve the Site
  • To display and moderate comments
  • To respond to your messages
  • To send newsletters you have subscribed to
  • To understand how visitors use the Site (analytics)
  • To display advertising, where applicable
  • To protect the Site against spam, fraud and abuse
  • To comply with legal obligations

3. Legal Bases (UK/EEA Visitors)

If you are in the UK or European Economic Area, we process personal data on the basis of your consent (for example, non-essential cookies and newsletters), our legitimate interests (operating and securing the Site), and compliance with legal obligations.

4. Cookies

We use cookies to remember your preferences (such as comment details), measure traffic, and, where applicable, deliver relevant advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and where required by law we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party services that collect information under their own privacy policies, such as:

  • Analytics (for example, Google Analytics) to understand Site usage
  • Advertising networks (for example, Google AdSense), which may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can manage Google ad personalization at Google Ad Settings.
  • Affiliate programs (for example, Amazon Associates), which may use cookies to track referrals
  • Embedded content (for example, YouTube videos), which behaves as if you visited the other website directly
  • Gravatar, which may receive an anonymized hash of your email address when you comment

6. Data Retention

Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognized and approved automatically. Emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your inquiry. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, including under the UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and US state laws such as the CCPA/CPRA, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent. We do not sell your personal information. To make a request, email contact@farmingaround.com.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the UK/EEA), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure.

10. International Visitors

Our Site is hosted and managed from different countries. By using the Site, you understand your information may be processed outside your country of residence.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
