The Garden (thegarden.com.au) is a personal lifestyle and community blog run from Perth, Western Australia. This page explains what information we collect when you visit, and how we use it.
When you subscribe to our newsletter or submit the "Write for The Garden" form, we collect the information you provide — typically your name and email address, and any message or pitch you send us. If you leave a comment, your name, email and comment content are stored.
We use your details to reply to your message or pitch, to send you the newsletter if you've opted in, and to keep the site running smoothly. We never sell your information to anyone.
Like most websites, The Garden uses cookies for basic functionality and to remember your preferences. If you leave a comment, you may opt in to save your name, email and website in cookies for your convenience next time.
We use standard third-party services to run this site, including our hosting provider and email delivery for the newsletter and contact form. Embedded content from Instagram or TikTok may set its own cookies if displayed on a page.
You can ask us to see what personal data we hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted at any time — just reach out via the Write for The Garden page.
