Privacy
What this site knows about you
Short version: nothing unless you make an account, and then only what you typed in yourself. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party scripts, nothing sold or shared. The long version is below, because "we value your privacy" is what a page says when it does not.
This is a personal project run by one person in Perth, not a company. There is no support desk and no data-protection officer. If you want something removed, you can do it yourself from your garden page— you do not have to ask anyone.
If you never sign in
Nothing is stored about you. There are no cookies, no local storage beyond your light/dark preference, no analytics and no tracking pixels. The course map, the library and the WA reference pages are all readable this way.
Cloudflare serves the site and keeps its own short-lived network logs, as any host does. That is outside this project's control and is covered byCloudflare's privacy policy.
If you do make an account
This is the complete list. There is nothing else.
- Your name and email. To sign you in and to address you by name. Your password is stored only as a hash. There is no mailing list and nothing is ever sent to you — the site cannot currently send email at all.
- Your session. A cookie, plus the IP address and browser string of the device you signed in from, so you can stay signed in and so a stolen session can be told apart from yours. Sessions expire.
- Your block, if you fill the form in. Suburb, postcode, block size, soil type, aspect, water source, the last digit of your house number, what is growing there now, and any notes you add. All optional, all editable, all deletable. It is used to make lessons talk about your conditions instead of a generic garden.
- Which lessons you have ticked off, and when.
- Everything you write in the workbook, and any photos or PDFs you upload against a question. These are yours; they are shown to nobody else.
- Rate-limit counters. A count against your account or IP address so nobody can hammer sign-up or fill the storage. They expire on their own.
A caution about the notes and photos. The last digit of your house number plus your suburb narrows down where you live. Photographs of your own garden can identify your house outright. Nothing here is published or shared — but this is a personal project on a free hosting tier, not a bank, and you should decide what to put in with that in mind.
Where it lives
On Cloudflare: the database is D1, uploaded files are in R2, and both sit behind Cloudflare Workers. Files are stored under a path beginning with your own account id, and a request for a file whose path does not start with your id is refused — that check is the whole authorisation model.
Who else sees it
Nobody, unless you connect an assistant yourself — see below. It is not sold, shared, analysed or used to train anything, and the only other party involved by default is Cloudflare, as the host.
That one exception is yours to switch on. If you connect an assistant to this course — doing the lessons by talking rather than reading — then a small, fixed part of your block profile is sent to whichever company runs that assistant, so it can teach you about your garden instead of a generic one. Exactly this, and only when a lesson depends on it:
- Your soil type, and the guidance this site shows you for it.
- Which way your garden faces — as a compass point, not what you typed.
- Your water source, and the two weekdays the sprinkler roster allows.
Your suburb, postcode, block size, house number and your own notes arenever sent, and neither are your answers to the workbook. The two rostered days go instead of your house number, because the days are what the advice turns on and they identify nothing. Do not connect an assistant if you would rather none of it left this site.
Two things your browser fetches from elsewhere, stated plainly:
- Video thumbnails. Lessons that recommend a YouTube video show its thumbnail, which is loaded from Google. That tells Google you loaded that page. The videos themselves are plain links — nothing plays, and no YouTube player runs, unless you click through.
- Nothing else. The fonts are served from this site rather than from Google, so ordinary reading tells nobody anything.
Getting it out, and getting rid of it
From your garden page:
- Export gives you one JSON file with your block, your progress and every word you have written. Uploaded files are listed by name — download those from the workbook page before you delete anything.
- Delete my account removes the account, the profile, the progress, the whole workbook and every uploaded file, from both the database and file storage. It is immediate and it is permanent. There is no backup, no thirty-day grace period and no way to ask for it back.
Deleting also empties the offline cache on that device, so lesson pages you had read are no longer sitting there for whoever uses the computer next. Signing out does the same.
How long it is kept
Until you delete it. There is no automatic expiry on an account, because a course that takes a year should not lose your work over a quiet winter. Sessions and rate-limit counters expire on their own.
Children
This is not aimed at children and accounts are not intended for anyone under 16.
If this page changes
The date below moves, and the change is deliberate — this page is rewritten whenever what the site stores changes, never after the fact. Last updated 11 August 2026.
