At Let’s DIY and Garden, we value your privacy, intellectual property rights, and trust. This page explains our policies regarding the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for our visitors from the European Union, and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) for copyright protection and takedown requests.
GDPR Compliance
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union regulation that gives individuals control over how their personal data is collected, stored, and used.
Even though we are based in the United States, we respect GDPR guidelines for visitors from the EU.
1. What Personal Data We Collect
We do not actively collect personal data unless you choose to share it — for example, by contacting us via email. Non-personal data like browser type, IP address, and usage patterns may be collected through cookies and third-party tools such as Google Analytics, solely for website improvement.
2. Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to:
- Request access to your personal data
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Object to the processing of your data
- Request restriction of processing
- Withdraw consent at any time
To exercise any of these rights, you can email us at:
[email protected]
3. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. However, please note that no online transmission or storage system is completely secure.
4. Cookies
We may use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. You can disable cookies through your browser settings if you prefer.

We fully respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that any content on Let’s DIY and Garden infringes your copyright, you may send us a DMCA takedown request.

- The exact URL or location of the infringing material on our website
- Your full name, address, contact number, and email
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised
- A statement under penalty of perjury that the information in your notice is accurate
