What this policy covers
This privacy policy explains what personal data Bosquelle (bosquelle.com) collects, how it is used, and your rights as a visitor. Bosquelle is an independent plant knowledge library operated by Edward Nguyen as an individual. There is no company registration or physical business address associated with this site.
Data we collect
Email correspondence
When you email [email protected] — including corrections or a link to a garden contribution written in a shareable document — we process the email address you send from, your message, and any linked material you point us to. That information is used only to reply or to consider the note for inclusion in the library. It is not shared with third parties. Bosquelle does not host a public upload form for contributions.
Analytics
We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are read most and how visitors arrive at the site. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. No personal data is passed to advertising networks or marketing platforms.
Cookies
Bosquelle sets only functional cookies necessary for the site to operate (for example, session management for WordPress). We do not set advertising, cross-site tracking, or unnecessary third-party cookies.
How we use your data
- To respond to email enquiries and corrections.
- To consider garden experience contributions shared by email (typically as a document link) for possible inclusion in guides.
- To understand site performance and improve content quality.
We do not sell, rent, license, or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Data retention
Email correspondence is retained for up to 12 months unless a longer retention is needed for an ongoing correction or contribution review. If material from a contribution is published, the published page becomes part of the public library; unpublished drafts and review notes are kept only as long as needed for that decision. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form indefinitely.
Your rights
Under GDPR (if you are in the EEA or UK) and other applicable data protection laws, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of your data (the right to erasure).
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
External links
Bosquelle links to external websites (nurseries, research databases, authority sources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies before submitting personal data.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our practices change. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
