About this policy
A Picnic In The Garden ("we," "us" or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains how we handle information through this website and when you contact us about a celebration.
Information we receive
When you send an inquiry, we receive the details you choose to share, including your name, email address, celebration date or flexible-date preference, estimated guest count, location, selected services and message. We also receive information you provide by phone or email. Please avoid including payment card details, identification documents or other sensitive information in the inquiry form.
Our hosting and security providers may process technical information such as your IP address, browser, device, page requests and security logs to deliver and protect the website.
How we use your information
We use inquiry details to respond, discuss your ideas, check availability, prepare proposals and provide services you request. We also use information to maintain our business records, protect the website, meet legal obligations and understand how the website performs.
Sending an inquiry does not automatically subscribe you to a marketing mailing list.
Google Analytics & cookies
The motion control stores a simple preference in your browser so the website can remember whether you have paused decorative animations. This preference stays on your device and is not used for analytics.
We use Google Analytics, when enabled, to understand how visitors find and use the website. Analytics may collect page views, interactions, referring websites, approximate location and browser or device information. It uses cookies or similar identifiers to distinguish visits. Google processes this information on our behalf, subject to the settings of our Analytics account.
We do not intentionally send inquiry names, email addresses or message contents to Google Analytics. Google explains its practices in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and its Privacy Policy.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Google also offers an Analytics opt-out browser add-on for supported browsers. Blocking cookies may affect how some websites work.
Providers & external links
We use service providers for website hosting, form handling, email and analytics. This website is prepared for Netlify hosting and Netlify Forms; submitted inquiries may be stored and processed by Netlify and our email provider. Google Analytics processes website usage information when enabled.
Fonts are delivered by Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts. Loading these services sends technical requests to their providers, which may include your IP address and browser information. Social links lead to external websites with their own privacy policies.
We do not sell inquiry contact details. We may disclose information to providers who help us operate, when necessary to meet a legal obligation or protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transfer subject to applicable protections.
Retention & security
We keep personal information for as long as reasonably needed to respond to you, provide services, maintain required records and resolve issues. The appropriate period depends on the type of information and our legal and business obligations.
We use reasonable safeguards to protect information. No website, email system or method of transmission can guarantee complete security. Our providers may process information in the United States and other countries where they operate.
Your choices & requests
You may contact us to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information we hold about you, or to ask about its use. Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have additional rights. We may need to verify your request and retain information that we are legally required or permitted to keep.
You can choose not to submit an inquiry, limit the optional details you share, manage browser cookies and use the Google Analytics opt-out tool linked above.
Children’s information
Although we style children’s parties, this website and its inquiry form are intended for adults planning events. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can address it.
Updates & contact
We may update this policy as our website or practices change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Questions or privacy requests are welcome.
