At Freebie Seeds, privacy is as important as finding your perfect strain. Here’s everything you need to know about how we handle your info:

TL;DR: We keep your information private, but have to keep certain data (the minimum possible). Most of this is regular internet stuff like IP addresses and involves cookies.

Who we are

Freebie Seeds LLC is hosted at https://freebieseeds.com. Come chill with us anytime!

Comments

When you drop us a line in the comments section, your thoughts, IP address, and browser details are saved by the server. It helps us keep the vibes positive and the spam out.

Here at Freebie Seeds, we love hash. Hashes, even! An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. You’ll have to hit them up for their Privacy Policy; they’re chill, though.

Media

If you share images, keep it chill—strip any location data (EXIF metadata like GPS coordinates) before uploading them. We’re all about respecting your privacy, man, and don’t even want to handle that sort of information. If it’s there, it’s there, so just don’t put it there, OK?

Cookies

You know we have the Cookies too–not like the typical cookie you might want for some munchies. No, not those Cookies either! Our cookies are digital. They’re for your convenience, saving your deets (name, email, website) so you can kick back and relax without filling out forms every time. They last about a year. Leave a comment? Cookie. Login page? Cookie! But the login one’s a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies, it contains no personal data, and is discarded when you close your browser, so it’s totally chill, dude.

Log in? You can bet you’ll get a cookie for that. Login information, your screen display choices, yada yada yada. These cookies are smaller, lasting only a couple of days (while screen options cookies last for a year). If you select “Remember Me”, we’ll remember for two weeks (after that point the indicas might hinder our recollection.) If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

Edit or publish an article? Another cookie! … but this li’l’ cook’ includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article with which you interacted. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Sometimes we bring in cool stuff from other hangouts—videos, articles, you name it. Just so you know, wherever these come from, they play by their own rules when it comes to data and cookies.

Who we share your data with

Your info is in our secret stash—we keep it locked up tighter than a moonrock and on the down-low. If you need a password reset, your IP might tag along in the email, just to make sure it’s really you–but come on, your IP address ain’t exactly “secret information.”

How long we retain your data

Comments stick around indefinitely, just like those lasting good vibes. If you’re a registered user, your profile info hangs out as long as you’re with us—but hey, you can go on a T-break anytime.

What rights you have over your data

You’re in control, always. Want a copy of what we’ve got? Just say the word. Want it gone? We’ll clear it out (except for stuff we got’t’o keep for legal reasons).

Where your data is sent

Comments might get a quick scan by our spam-busting crew. Gotta keep the garden free of weeds, right?

Law enforcement

Freebie Seeds LLC complies with lawful requests for information via counsel when provided with a valid warrant. As of 2024-06-17, Freebie Seeds has neither received any such request nor provided any information to any law enforcement officer, agency, bureau, lawyer, etc.

Stay lifted and enjoy the ride,
