Welcome to Terri’s Greenhouse of Horrors (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, blog, and online store at greenhouseofhorrors.com (the “Site”).
Please read this policy carefully. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information about you in a few different ways when you interact with our Site:
- Personal Information: When you place an order, create an account, subscribe to a newsletter, leave a comment, or contact us directly, we collect identifiable information such as your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, and payment details.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To Fulfill Orders: To process your transactions, manage your shopping cart, arrange for shipping, and provide you with invoices and order confirmations.
- To Communicate With You: To provide customer support, respond to inquiries or comments, and send you important updates about your account or orders.
- To Screen for Fraud: To monitor our website traffic and orders for potential risk, spam, fraud, or misuse (in particular, using your IP address).

3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We only share your information with trusted third parties to help us operate our business, run our blog, and fulfill your orders:
- Service Providers & E-commerce Platforms: We share data with the platform that hosts our website and store, alongside other essential IT service providers.
- Payment Processors: We use secure third-party payment gateways to process your transactions safely. We do not store your full payment card information directly on our servers.
- Shipping Providers: We share your name and delivery address with postal and delivery services to deliver your physical orders.
- Analytics & Marketing: We may share automatically collected data with analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) or email marketing services to understand site traffic and manage campaigns.
- Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information to comply with applicable laws, respond to a subpoena or lawful request, protect our rights, or protect the safety of our visitors.
4. Third-Party E-Commerce (Etsy Shop)
In addition to sales processed directly on our Site, we also link to our external shop hosted on Etsy. Please note that when you click a link to visit our Etsy shop, you are leaving our Site.
Transactions made on that platform are collected, processed, and secured directly by Etsy under their own privacy practices. When you buy from us on Etsy, they share your order details and shipping address with us solely so we can fulfill your purchase.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our Site uses “cookies” (small data files placed on your device), web beacons, and similar technologies to keep track of items in your shopping cart, prevent spam in comment sections, understand site usage, and personalize your experience.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent certain features of the Site (like the shopping cart or checkout functionality) from working properly.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Data Retention
When you place an order through the Site, we will retain your Personal Information for our records only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, resolve disputes, and comply with legal or tax obligations (typically up to 7 years).
