Privacy Statement
The Garden has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website: www.grdn.com

IP Addresses
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. Your IP address is used to help identify you and your shopping cart and to gather broad demographic information in the interest of improving our site and service.

Cookies
A cookie is a unique identifier collected by the site to verify a return visitor's identity, or to understand how visitors navigate the site. The use of cookies is standard on the Internet and many major web sites use them. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies; however, you can usually change your browser to prevent or notify you whenever you are sent a cookie. This gives you the chance to decide whether or not to accept the cookie.

The "cookie" itself does not tell us who you are, your email address, or any other personal information. We use the information it provides to help us improve the site and our service, and to provide our visitors with a better experience, while on the site.

Even without accepting a cookie you can still access most of the features on the site. There will, however, be limitations on your use of some site functions. For example, if you choose to disable cookies you will not be able to view your orders on-line, store or update your user profile, or take advantage of promotional discounts.

Some of our business partners who provide services associated with our site, like banner advertising or email promotions, may use cookies. Since these partners set and read cookies using their own servers, we have no access to, or control over them. However, their cookies do not permit access to confidential personal information about site visitors; rather they are used to keep track of traffic to the site.

Meet and Greet
Your personal information is collected and displayed as a personals section of our website.  All members have the ability to not show their personal information. To contact another member you must be a member, no exceptions will be allowed.  We are not responsible for people that are misinformed or abused by the meet and greet section, but we will like to be notified and deal with the people if it does occur. Please contact The Garden's web administrator at: webmaster@grdn.com 

This service is provided free to all people who sign up for this service. We do not modify or manage this service in anywhy unless directed for help by a member. A member will recieve help for critical matter within a 24 hour time span from the origional request. Your email can be used for mass event mailings.
If you do not use your Garden member's account for 6 months, all your information will be permanently removed.

Photos and Images
For events and promotional reasons we take photos at certain times and post them in our gally section. If you find your image on this website and would like to have it removed, you may email our webmaster at webmaster@grdn.com. We will have that image removed as soon as possible if we have all of the information needed. Since our image library is quite large please provide the event and image name(s) [right click on the image a view the properties to get the name]. If we do not have this information we will not remove that image.

The Garden is listed as a public place not a private establishment and we do not need special permission to post photos.

The Garden has a mixed crowd of people, and a photo in the gallery is not indication of a persons sexual orientation.
