Privacy Policy

SeedsOfGanja ("we", "us", "our") operates the website seedsofganja.com and is the data controller responsible for your personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – EU 2016/679).

For any privacy-related enquiries you can reach us at:

When you create an account, we collect only the minimum data necessary:

• Email address — used to identify your account and for account-related communications.
• Username — a public display name you choose yourself.
• Password — stored exclusively as a bcrypt hash; we never store or have access to your plaintext password.
• Registration date and last login date — stored for security and audit purposes.

Your data is used solely to:

• Create and manage your account on SeedsOfGanja.
• Allow you to log in and access member features.
• Maintain the security and integrity of the platform.

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, automated decision-making, or any purpose other than those listed above.

Your data is stored in a private database accessible only to the site administrator. We apply the following security measures:

• Passwords are hashed using the bcrypt algorithm (PHP PASSWORD_DEFAULT) — industry-standard one-way encryption.
• Database credentials are stored in server-side configuration files, never exposed to the client.
• Access to the database is restricted by server firewall rules.

We retain your account data for as long as your account remains active. If you request deletion of your account, all personal data associated with it (email, username, hashed password) will be permanently removed from our database within 30 days of the request.

As a user based in the European Union, you have the following rights under the GDPR:

• Right of access — you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification — you may ask us to correct inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") — you may request permanent deletion of your account and all associated data.
• Right to restriction — you may ask us to temporarily stop processing your data.
• Right to portability — you may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to object — you may object to processing at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at mail@seedsofganja.com. We will respond within 30 days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority (in Italy: Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).

We use a single session cookie (a standard PHP session) which is strictly necessary for keeping you logged in during your visit. This cookie contains no personal information, expires when you close your browser, and does not track you across other websites. No cookie consent banner is required for strictly necessary cookies under the ePrivacy Directive.

We do not sell, rent, share, or disclose your personal data to any third party for any purpose, including advertising or marketing. Your data stays on our server and is never sent to external services.

SeedsOfGanja is intended for users aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware that a user is under 18, we will delete their account and associated data promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
