1. Overview

Welcome to Grow A Garden Calculator Tool (“we”, “our”, “us”), accessible at growagardencalculatortool.site. We are a free, independently created fan resource for players of the Roblox game Grow a Garden on Roblox. We are not affiliated with Roblox Corporation or the official game developers.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we collect it, why we use it, with whom we share it, and the rights you have over your information. It also explains how we use advertising technology, including Google AdSense, on our site.

By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using our site immediately.

Summary: We do not sell your personal data. We do not require you to register. All plant calculations run in your browser only — nothing you type into our calculator is sent to our servers. We display ads through Google AdSense, which uses cookies. You can opt out of personalized ads at any time.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways — information you provide voluntarily, and information gathered automatically through standard web technologies.

A. Information You Provide Voluntarily:

  • When you submit our contact form or email us, we collect your name, email address, message subject, and message content.
  • Any optional information you choose to share, such as your Roblox username, is collected only to help us respond to your inquiry.
  • We never collect credit card or payment details — our service is entirely free.

B. Information Collected Automatically:

  • Log Data: IP address (anonymized where possible), browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps.
  • Device Data: Whether you are visiting on a desktop, tablet, or mobile device.
  • Usage Data: Which plant categories and features you use most — collected in anonymized, aggregated form only.
  • Advertising Data: Google AdSense may collect cookie and interest-based data for ad personalization (see Section 5 for full details).

We do not collect, store, or transmit any inputs you enter into the plant value calculator — your plant selections, mutations, weight values, and quantities remain entirely on your device.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect exclusively for the following legitimate purposes:

  • To respond to your messages, questions, and bug reports submitted through our contact form or email
  • To improve the accuracy, usability, and performance of our plant value calculator
  • To monitor site security and protect against spam, abuse, and fraudulent activity
  • To analyze aggregated usage trends so we can add features the community most needs
  • To serve relevant advertisements through Google AdSense to help sustain this free tool
  • To comply with applicable laws and legal obligations

We do not use your data for unsolicited email marketing, automated profiling, or any purpose not listed above.

5. Google AdSense & Advertising

To help cover the costs of maintaining and continuously updating this free tool for the Grow a Garden community, our website displays advertisements served by Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

How Google AdSense Works on Our Site:

  • Google AdSense uses cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to serve ads that are relevant to your interests based on your browsing history across websites.

Your Choices Regarding Google Advertising:

Important: Even if you opt out of personalized ads, you may still see non-personalized (contextual) ads when visiting our site. Opting out simply means that Google will not use your browsing history to select which ads to show you.
