Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information FolkRoot ("we," "us," "the site") collects, how we use it, and your choices. By using the site, you agree to this policy.
who we are
FolkRoot is an educational website about herbs, plants, foods, and traditional remedies. You can contact us at amadoinvestments@gmail.com.
information we collect
Information you give us. If you sign up for our email list, we collect the email address (and any name) you provide. If you contact us, we keep the information you send.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers may automatically collect basic technical information when you visit, such as your browser type, device type, general location (city/region level), pages viewed, and how you arrived at the site. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive health information about you. Please do not send us details about your medical conditions.
how we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Send you newsletters, updates, and offers if you have subscribed
- Operate, maintain, and improve the site
- Understand how visitors use the site (analytics)
- Respond to your questions or requests
- Comply with the law
email and marketing
If you join our email list, we use an email service provider (such as Mailchimp or ConvertKit) to manage and send messages. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. We do not sell your email address.
cookies and analytics
We use cookies and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or a privacy-focused equivalent) to understand site traffic and improve content. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as well. We do not use your data to build advertising profiles of you.
affiliate links
FolkRoot contains affiliate links. If you click certain product links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These links may set cookies controlled by the retailer (for example, Amazon) under that retailer's own privacy policy, not ours. We are a participant in affiliate programs including the Amazon Associates Program. See our Terms of Service and Affiliate Disclosure for details.
how we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:
- Service providers who help us run the site (email platform, hosting, analytics), bound to protect it
- Authorities when required by law
- A successor if the site is sold or transferred
data retention and security
We keep your information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law. We take reasonable measures to protect it, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
your choices and rights
You can unsubscribe from emails at any time, and you can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing amadoinvestments@gmail.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). To exercise any right, contact us at the address above.
children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the latest version. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
