2. Information We Collect

2.1 Session Data

Our application operates in session mode, meaning your garden designs and configurations are only maintained during your current browser session. When you close your browser or navigate away from the application, your designs will not be automatically saved.

Important: We do not store your garden designs or personal data on our servers or in your browser's local storage. Any designs you create exist only during your current session.

Our application may contain advertisement spaces that are managed by third-party advertising networks. These services may collect information about your browsing activities according to their own privacy policies.

3. How We Use Your Information

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have the following rights regarding your information:

7. Cookies and Session Storage

Our application uses:

• Cookies: For basic functionality and analytics (if any)
• No Local Storage: We do not use local storage to save your garden designs or preferences

You can control these through your browser settings. Note that clearing session storage will reset your current garden design, as designs are not saved between sessions.
