Tulips & Tubers (tulipsandtubers.com) is a free directory of tulip fields, dahlia farms, and dahlia tuber sellers in Skagit, Whatcom, Island, and San Juan Counties, Washington. This page explains what information the site collects, why, and the choices you have. If you have a question about it, use our contact page.

What we collect when you browse

Like most websites, our server keeps basic visit statistics so we can see which listings and counties people find useful. For each page view we record the page, any search you type into the search box, any link you click through to a farm's website, the type of browser and device you use, and the website that linked you here.

We do not store your IP address. We use it only for a moment, combined with your browser type and the date, to make an anonymous ID that changes every day. That lets us count daily visitors and filter out automated traffic, but it can't be used to identify you or follow you from one day to the next. Our own statistics don't use cookies.

What we collect when you send us something

Adding or updating a listing. The business details you submit, such as the farm name, address, season, hours, phone, website, description, and photos, are reviewed and then published on the site. The email address and phone number you give us as the person submitting are kept private. We use them only to contact you about that listing.

Contact form. When you write to us, we keep your name, email address, and message so we can reply.

We don't sell, rent, or trade this information, and we don't add you to a mailing list.

Advertising and cookies

This site shows ads served by Google AdSense, which helps keep the directory free. Google and its partners may place and read cookies in your browser, or use similar technologies, to serve ads and measure how they perform.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Some ads on the site are sold directly to local businesses. For those, we count how many times each ad is shown and clicked, with no personal information attached.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking them doesn't stop the directory from working.

Links to other websites

Listings link to farms' own websites and social media pages. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we don't control.

Children

This site is meant for a general audience and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices

You can ask us to correct or delete information you sent us, including a contact message or the private contact details on a listing submission. Farm owners can update or remove a listing with the "Is this your listing?" link on its page. For anything else, write to us through the contact page.

Changes to this policy

If we change how the site handles information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
