3. How we use it
(a) To make your plan, send it to you and take payment. Lawful basis: contract.
(b) To deliver gifts on the date chosen. Lawful basis: contract and our legitimate interests.
(c) To send one email about three weeks later asking how your border is going. Lawful basis: our legitimate interests. You can stop these emails with one click.

We use an AI service to help write the short descriptions in your plan. It sees your garden answers and the plants chosen, but not your name, email address or gift details. We don't send marketing emails.
4. Gift recipients
If you buy a gift, we only use the recipient's details to deliver it and send emails about their plan. We tell them who it's from. Please only give us someone's email address if you're happy for us to contact them about your gift.
5. Who we share it with
We only share personal information with service providers who help us run our website (such as hosting, payments, email and security checks), our professional advisers, authorities when the law requires it, and anyone who buys our business. We don't sell your information. Where our providers handle information outside the UK, we make sure it is protected as UK data protection law requires.
6. How long we keep it
Answers for previews you don't buy: 90 days. Orders and plans: 6 years, for tax and accounting and so you can get your plan back. Gift recipients' email addresses: 90 days after the gift is delivered, or after the voucher is used or expires. Messages and technical logs: no more than 2 years.
7. Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of your information, or ask us to correct it, delete it, restrict or stop using it, or send it to you in a portable format. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Email help@myplantingplan.co.uk. We'll reply within one month. If you're unhappy, please tell us first. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office: www.ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, 0303 123 1113.
