Welcome to Abbo Garden Shop (“we”, “our”, or “us”). We are committed to protecting your privacy while you shop for premium garden essentials like greenhouses, planters, and trellises. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit abbogarden.com.

1. Information We Collect

To provide our global customers with secure transactions and personalized service, we may collect:

  • Personal Identification: Name, email address, shipping/billing address when you make purchases of plant stands, arbors, or other garden accessories
  • Payment Information: Credit/debit card details (processed securely through Visa, MasterCard, JCB, or PayPal – we do not store full card numbers)
  • Transaction Data: Purchase history of items like plant hangers or supports, order values, and shipping preferences
  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information to optimize our garden-focused website
  • Usage Data: How you navigate our site (e.g., time spent on planters category pages)
  • Marketing Preferences: Whether you wish to receive updates about new trellises or gardening tools

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data helps us cultivate better service for garden enthusiasts:

  • Process orders for greenhouse kits or plant accessories efficiently

  • Improve our product offerings (e.g., identifying popular plant support styles)
  • Send relevant promotions (with your consent) about seasonal gardening items
  • Prevent fraud in transactions for high-value arbors or garden structures
  • Comply with legal requirements for international shipping

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We value your privacy as much as you value your garden’s serenity:

  • Legal Compliance: When required by law regarding transactions (e.g., customs documentation for international plant support shipments)
  • Business Transfers: In case of merger/acquisition affecting our garden shop operations
  • Aggregated Data: Non-identifiable trends (e.g., “40% of trellis buyers also purchase climbing plants”)

We never sell your personal data to third-party marketers.

4. Data Storage & Security

Your information is protected like a prized greenhouse orchid:

  • Encrypted storage with industry-standard security measures
  • Regular security audits of our payment systems for garden product purchases
  • Limited employee access to sensitive data (only when assisting with your arbor order)
  • Data retention only as long as necessary (e.g., for warranty claims on plant stands)

You have control over your information, just as you do in your garden:

  • Access: Request details of personal data we hold about your account
  • Correction: Update inaccurate shipping addresses for your planter deliveries
  • Deletion: Request removal of personal data (subject to legal requirements)
  • Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails about new plant hangers

8. Children’s Privacy
