GDPR Privacy Policy

Hey there, friends! I’m Erin, the dirt-loving heart behind Bloom & Peck. I’m all about finding joy in the dirt, and I want to keep your personal info as safe as my chickens guard my basil! 🌱 This GDPR page explains how I handle your data if you’re visiting from the EU. It’s a bit formal, but I’ll keep it sensible and clear—let’s dig in!

Who I Am

I’m Erin, the data controller for bloomandpeck.com. That’s just a fancy way of saying I’m responsible for your info. I’m a rural homesteader in Kentucky, sharing my adaptive gardening journey with a laugh or two!

What Data I Collect

I collect the basics when you sign up for my email list:

• Your name (so I can say “Hey, [FirstName]!” in emails)
• Your email address (to send you gardening tips and chicken tales)

If you comment on a post, I might collect your name and email there too, but only if you choose to share them.

Why I Collect It

I use your info to send you emails with:

• Gardening tips (like basil companion planting)
• My “Healing to Harvest” updates
• Fun stories (chickens guarding raspberries—hilarious!)

It’s all about sharing the joy of dirt with you!

How I Use Your Data

Your name and email go into my email marketing tool (like Mailchimp) to send you newsletters. I don’t share your info with anyone else—my chickens don’t even get a peek! 🐔

My Legal Basis

I collect your data based on your consent. When you sign up for any emails, subscriptions, pop ups, etc., you’re giving me the green light to email you. You can unsubscribe anytime (there’s a link in every email).

How Long I Keep Your Data

I keep your info as long as you’re subscribed. If you unsubscribe, I’ll delete your data within 30 days—sensible, right? No clutter in my digital garden!

Your GDPR Rights

You’ve got rights under GDPR, and I’m here to help! You can:

• Access your data (see what I’ve got)
• Correct it (update your name or email)
• Delete it (say goodbye to my emails)
• Restrict or object to processing (pause my emails)
• Port your data (take it elsewhere)
• File a complaint with a supervisory authority

Just email me (below) to make a request!

Third Parties

I use an email marketing service (like Mailchimp) to send emails. They’re GDPR-compliant, and I’ve checked their privacy policy to make sure your data’s safe. No other third parties get your info.

Cookies

My site might use cookies if I add tools like Google Analytics to track visits (I’m not there yet, but I’ll update this if I do). For now, it’s just the basics—no cookie jar here!

Contact Me

Got questions about your data? Email me at [email protected] . I’ll get back to you faster than my raspberries grow! 🌿

Updates to This Policy

I might update this page if my site grows (like adding cookies). I’ll let you know via email if anything big changes. Last updated: May 08, 2025.

Thanks for trusting me with your info—I’m honored to have you in my dirt-loving community! Let’s keep finding joy in the dirt together. 🌱
