Product Analytics (Privacy-Safe)

To understand which features help new users most, we log basic page visits once you're signed in: a short page slug (e.g. soil-analysis), a session identifier that resets when you close the tab, and how long you stayed. We do not record your IP for this, do not use third-party analytics cookies for this, and do not capture clicks, typing, or content. Aggregated results are visible only to TurfPulse admins and are auto-deleted after 90 days. You can opt out anytime from Profile → Privacy; opting out also purges any existing analytics rows linked to your account.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our Service
• Calculate Growing Degree Days based on your local weather data
• Send notifications about your lawn care schedule (with your consent)
• Process transactions and manage subscriptions
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
• Personalize your experience and deliver relevant content
• Analyze usage patterns to improve our Service
• Comply with legal obligations

We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers:

• OpenWeather API: We share your location coordinates to retrieve local weather data for GDD calculations
• Stripe: Payment processing for premium subscriptions (we do not store credit card information)
• Resend: Email delivery for notifications and password resets
• Amazon Associates: Affiliate links are tracked by Amazon when you click product links

These third parties have their own privacy policies governing their use of your information.

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Your Rights below).

After account deletion, we may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., fraud prevention, legal compliance) for up to 90 days.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including:

• Encryption of data in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
• Secure password hashing (bcrypt)
• HTTP-only cookies for authentication
• Regular security audits

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with additional rights regarding your personal information:

• The right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold
• The right to delete personal information held by businesses
• The right to opt-out of the sale of personal information
• The right to non-discrimination for exercising your CCPA rights

TurfPulse does not sell your personal information to third parties.
