Privacy Policy

Herb Calendar (herbcalendar.com) is a free planting-calendar tool. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site and send the reminders you ask for. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not run advertising.

What we collect

• Your zip code — entered to look up your USDA hardiness zone and growing season. To show your city and state, your zip is sent to a third-party lookup service (Zippopotam.us). We do not store it on a server; it stays in your browser session.
• Your email address — only if you choose to sign up for planting reminders. Signups are handled by Mailchimp, which stores your email and the zone you submitted so we can send you timely, relevant reminders.
• Usage analytics — we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used (pages viewed, features used, general location). This uses cookies and similar technologies.

How we use it

To provide your planting calendar, send the reminders you opt into, and improve the site. That's it.

Cookies

Google Analytics sets cookies to measure usage. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can block cookies in your browser settings; the calendar still works without them.

Third parties we rely on

• Google Analytics — usage measurement
• Mailchimp — email reminders, if you sign up
• Zippopotam.us — city/state lookup from your zip
• Vercel — website hosting

You can unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link in any message. To ask what we hold or to have it deleted, email hello@herbcalendar.com.

Children

Changes

We may update this policy as the site evolves; the “last updated” date above will change accordingly.
