Privacy Policy

What We Collect

Garden Buy Mall is an affiliate comparison site — we do not sell products directly and we do not collect payment information. The information we may collect falls into two categories:

• Usage data: Pages you visit, products you click, search queries, and general browsing behaviour. This is collected via cookies and analytics tools (Google Analytics) and is used to improve our site.
• Referral data: When you click a "Buy on eBay" link we pass a unique affiliate tracking identifier to eBay. eBay records that click against our account so we can earn a commission if you make a purchase. We do not receive your name, payment details, or order details from eBay.
• Contact data: If you email us, we store your email address and any information you include purely to respond to your query.

Cookies

We use cookies to keep our site working properly and to understand how visitors use it. The main cookies set on this site are:

• Session cookie: Keeps you logged in (if applicable) and maintains a short session ID used for analytics.
• Analytics cookies: Google Analytics uses cookies to track page views and sessions. This data is aggregated and anonymised. Google's privacy policy explains how they handle this data.
• eBay affiliate cookies: When you follow a link to eBay, eBay may set its own cookies on your device. These cookies are governed by eBay's privacy policy.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies won't prevent you from browsing this site, though some features may work differently.

How eBay Affiliate Tracking Works

Garden Buy Mall participates in the eBay Partner Network (EPN), eBay's affiliate programme. When you click a product link that goes to eBay, we include a tracking parameter in the URL (a "campaign ID"). If you purchase something on eBay within the attribution window (typically 24 hours), eBay pays us a small commission — at no extra cost to you. The price you pay on eBay is exactly the same whether you arrive through our link or go directly to eBay.

Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

• Google Analytics — website usage analytics
• eBay Partner Network — affiliate commission tracking
• Google Fonts — font delivery (Google logs font requests)

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data — including the right to access, correct, or delete information we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact{{ parse_url(url('/'), PHP_URL_HOST) }}.

If you are based in the EU or UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained for 26 months (Google Analytics default). Contact emails are kept until the query is resolved and for a reasonable period thereafter. We do not sell your data to third parties.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. When we do, we'll update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
