Privacy ยท preview statement

Explore without sharing personal details.

The Growing Club and free downloads do not require a name, email address, account, photo or location.

What this local preview does

The website has no analytics, advertising trackers, cookies, child accounts, public profiles, comments or upload forms. Mission checkmarks are held only in the open page; they are not saved or sent anywhere. Worksheets stay with families or teachers.

The optional grown-up zone lookup

Only when a parent, guardian or teacher presses Check zone is a five-digit ZIP sent to the ArcGIS service used by the official USDA map. The external provider receives that query and connection information such as an IP address. Food Forest Kids does not keep the ZIP, use geolocation or build a location profile. Do not enter a child's location. The official map is available as an alternative.

Email and shopping are inactive

The newsletter presentation is for parents and guardians. There is no active email entry or submission. No checkout, payments or order collection is active. Essential free resources will remain accessible without newsletter signup.

Before a public launch

Hugo must confirm the operator contact information, actual hosting logs and retention, service-provider terms, the child-directed privacy obligations and any future newsletter or store arrangements. The public privacy notice must describe the services actually used. This preview statement is not a claim of legal compliance.
