Effective Date: February 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit or interact with our website.

Who We Are

My Landscape Academy is the legal business name operating this website. We are headquartered in the State of Indiana, United States, and operate this website in accordance with applicable U.S. and Indiana privacy and consumer protection laws.

Information We Collect

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the information shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.

Media Uploads

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images displayed on the site.

Cookies

We use cookies to improve your experience on our website.

  • If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience, so you do not have to re-enter your information when leaving future comments. These cookies last for one year.
  • If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply identifies the post you edited. It expires after one day.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings; however, doing so may limit certain functionality of the site.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited those websites directly.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, particularly if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email as a security measure.

Visitor comments may be reviewed through automated spam detection services.

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation.

For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in the user profile. Users may view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators may also access and manage this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request:

  • An exported file of the personal data we hold about you
  • Deletion of your personal data

These requests do not apply to data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Requests related to your data may be submitted using our contact information below.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be processed through automated spam detection services, which may operate outside of the United States.
