How we handle your data.

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy notice explains how community-orchard-yield-tracker.hub2.day (“the site”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you visit or interact with the Community Orchard Yield Tracker. The site is a shared harvest-logging utility for community orchard groups, urban orchard stewards, and small-scale fruit growers.

Information We Collect

We collect and process the following categories of information:

  • Browser-local project inputs: Yield entries, variety notes, seasonal comments, and related orchard data you enter are stored primarily in your browser (for example, via localStorage or similar client-side storage). This data stays on your device unless you explicitly export or share it.
  • Contact email: If you email us at hello@community-orchard-yield-tracker.hub2.day, we will process the content of your message and your email address solely to respond to your request.
  • Server and security logs: Our hosting provider may automatically log technical information such as IP addresses, request timestamps, browser type, referring URLs, and error details. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, and basic availability monitoring.
  • Cookies and local storage: The site may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality, preferences, and advertising (including Google AdSense). See the “Cookies, Consent, and Advertising” section below.

Cookies, Consent, and Advertising

The site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to:

  • Serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other sites.
  • Measure ad performance and limit repeated ad exposure.
  • Support basic site functionality and preferences.

Where required by law (for example, visitors from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or California), the site provides cookie consent choices before non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used. You can usually adjust your choices through the consent interface provided on the site or through your browser settings.

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.

Service Providers

We use third-party service providers for hosting, analytics, and advertising (including Google AdSense). These providers may process data on our behalf under contractual safeguards appropriate to their role. We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense, but advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies as described in their own policies.

Data Retention

  • Browser-local data: Orchard yield entries and notes stored in your browser remain until you clear your browser storage or delete them within the site.
  • Email correspondence: Messages sent to hello@community-orchard-yield-tracker.hub2.day are retained only as long as necessary to handle your request and for basic record-keeping.
  • Server logs: Technical logs are retained for a limited period appropriate to security and operational needs, then deleted or anonymized.

Children’s Privacy

The site is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

The site may link to external websites, tools, or resources (for example, orchard guides, variety databases, or government horticulture pages). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

International Processing

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

Changes to This Notice

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will be revised when changes are made. Continued use of the site after changes indicates acceptance of the updated notice.
