Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy notice explains how tree-felling-direction-planner.hub2.day (“the site”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you use the Tree Felling Direction Planner. The site is a focused web utility that helps rural landowners and aspiring arborists explore a recommended felling direction, notch angles, and escape-route diagram based on inputs such as lean, wind, obstacles, and slope.

Information You Enter and How It Is Used

The planner is designed to run primarily in your browser. The tree and site details you enter (for example lean direction, wind, obstacles, and slope) are used locally to generate a felling recommendation and diagram. In most cases these inputs stay in your browser and are not transmitted to our servers.

If you choose to contact us at hello@tree-felling-direction-planner.hub2.day, we will use your message and email address only to respond to your request and to operate or improve the site.

Server and Security Logs

When you access the site, our hosting and security infrastructure may automatically log limited technical information such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and general site interactions. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and basic performance monitoring.

We retain server and security logs only as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes, typically for a limited period, and then delete or aggregate them.

Cookies and Local Storage

The site may use cookies, similar technologies, and browser local storage to:

• remember your preferences and settings (for example display or consent choices);
• support basic site functionality and security;
• support advertising and, where applicable, personalized or non-personalized ad delivery.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you reject or delete cookies, some features of the site may not work as intended.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites, and to measure ad performance.

Google may collect and use data such as:

• information about your visits to this and other websites;
• device and browser information;
• IP address;
• interactions with ads.

For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.

GDPR / EEA / UK Consent and Choices

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or other regions with similar laws, we rely on appropriate legal bases to process personal data, such as:

• your consent (for example for certain cookies or personalized advertising);
• legitimate interests (for security, fraud prevention, and basic site operation);
• performance of a request you initiate (for example answering an email).

Where required, we provide cookie consent and preference mechanisms so you can choose whether to accept non-essential cookies and personalized advertising. You may withdraw consent at any time through the provided controls or by contacting us.

You may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, to restrict or object to certain processing, and to data portability, as provided by applicable law. To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@tree-felling-direction-planner.hub2.day.

CCPA / CPRA-Style Choices (California and Similar Jurisdictions)

If you are a California resident (or in some cases other U.S. states with similar laws), you may have the right to:

• request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected;
• request deletion of personal information;
• opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising;
• non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense. However, certain advertising-related practices may be treated as “sharing” under some laws. Where applicable, we provide mechanisms to opt out of personalized advertising and similar sharing. You can also email us at hello@tree-felling-direction-planner.hub2.day to submit a request.

Service Providers

We use third-party service providers for hosting, security, analytics, and advertising. These providers may process data on our behalf, under appropriate agreements, to support the operation of the site. We do not authorize them to use your data for their own independent purposes.

Children

The site is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

The site may link to third-party websites or services (for example Google or other resources). We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

International Processing

If you access the site from outside the country where the servers are located, your information may be transferred to and processed in other jurisdictions. We take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, as required by applicable law.

Changes to This Privacy Notice

We may update this notice from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when this version was published. Continued use of the site after changes indicates acceptance of the updated notice.
