- You can browse the full catalog, plant pages, and regions without an account and without sharing your location.

- We run no third-party analytics, advertising networks, or tracking cookies, and we never sell or share your information. (Some outbound retailer links are affiliate links — see "Advertising and affiliate links" below — but they load no scripts and share nothing about you.)

- The only data we keep lives in your own browser (local storage), and only with your consent.

- Using "my location" or entering a city is always your explicit choice — manual hardiness-zone and postal-code lookup are always available instead.

- When you set a location we convert it into gardening-zone context (your hardiness zone and a climate trajectory). We do not store your raw latitude or longitude.

- That location is saved only on your device, only if you have allowed preference storage, and it is discarded after about 12 months.

- Essential storage keeps the site working. Preference storage — off until you turn it on — remembers choices like your gardening location.

- Analytics and advertising storage are disabled; we will not enable them without a reviewed consent flow and an updated policy.

- You can change these choices any time on the Cookies page.

- Plotwright runs no third-party advertising networks and loads no ad scripts, so nothing on the page tracks you across the web.

- Some plant pages include outbound "where to buy" links to retailers. Where Plotwright has an affiliate relationship, the link is labeled "Sponsored" and we may earn a small commission if you buy, at no extra cost to you. Links without that label earn us nothing.

- These are plain outbound links. Clicking one shares nothing about you with us; if you continue to the retailer, that retailer and its affiliate network may set their own cookies under their own policies.

- Everything we hold about you lives in your browser, so clearing it removes it. Use the button below, or your browser’s "clear site data".

- California residents (CCPA): you have the right to know what personal information is collected, to delete it, and not to be treated differently for exercising those rights. We do not sell or share personal information.

- Wherever you live: because we store data only on your device and run no trackers, you can see and delete your data yourself at any time — and you can always reach us with a question or request.
