Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

Overview:

Food Gardening Network, a division of Mequoda Systems, LLC, is committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your personal information. To receive full access to our services, we request that you provide us with information that is important to you. Because of the nature of this information, here is guidance about the information we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and how you can access or change your personal information.

This policy covers only the information collected by the foodgardening.mequoda.com domain and website. Sites that link to or from our site are not covered by this policy. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of every site you visit. To change or access your Personally Identifiable Information (PII), please click the “Sign In” link and go to the “Account” page (by clicking on your user name in the upper-right portion of the page) or email support@foodgardening.mequoda.com.

We are continuously looking to improve our site and our services. The principle behind this policy and our business is to only collect information with your knowledge and consent.

Information We Collect:

This policy refers to all information collected on the foodgardening.mequoda.com domain and website. When visiting foodgardening.mequoda.com, you are given the opportunity to receive services from us when you provide us with information about you. When you register to receive these services, we collect a limited amount of Personally Identifiable Information from you including your first name, last name, email address, and postal address.

How Information is Used:

When you first register for services on foodgardening.mequoda.com, we ask for your first name, last name, and email address. We send you a welcome email that includes a link to set your password and login to the site. At first login, you can review your email preferences—what email newsletters do you want to receive? Going forward, you will receive newsletters that may cover important information about our site, products that we sell, services that we offer, information about your membership ,and other offers or promotions.

All of our information sent by email will come from foodgardening.mequoda.com. If you are looking to unsubscribe from one or more of our email lists/newsletters, you may use the unsubscribe link found at the bottom of each email that we send. You may also reach us by phone (866-713-1005) or email (support@foodgardening.mequoda.com).

Food Gardening Network may occasionally send you surveys to help us better serve you. If and when you choose to participate in these optional surveys, you may also receive special offers via email. If you would rather not receive these special offers, simply email support@foodgardening.mequoda.com to cancel at any time. Information that you provide when participating in a survey will be handled in the same manner as Personally Identifiable Information.

Food Gardening Network may partner with carefully selected companies that wish to offer their services to our customers, prospective customers, mailing list members, and site visitors—by email or by postal mail, for example. These companies offer their services under their brand name, and if you choose to sign up for their services under the brand name of our partner company, we may share Personally Identifiable Information with that company. Every time you sign up for a service, on our site or a partner company’s site, we will notify you of the privacy policy and how you can opt-out of the services.

Additionally, you have the right to request that your user data be deleted. For these requests, please email support@foodgardening.mequoda.com and we will respond within 30 days.

Your satisfaction is always 100% guaranteed: Your credit card will be billed according to the terms you’ve chosen. If you’re satisfied, do nothing and your membership will continue uninterrupted. If at any time, and for any reason, you are dissatisfied with your membership, you may cancel without further obligation, no questions asked. Your complete satisfaction is always guaranteed.

If you think your credit card has been charged in error for any reason, the full amount will be promptly refunded.

Cookies:

Cookies set by a website owner or service provider (in this case Food Gardening Network) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies that are set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website or service that you are using such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

Occasionally, Food Gardening Network enters into contracts with carefully selected third parties so that they can assist us in servicing you or to assist us in our own marketing activities. This includes providing us with analytic information and search engine optimization services. Our contracts with third parties prohibit the third party from using your Personal Identifiable Information for any purpose beyond the purpose for which it was shared.
