Effective September 9, 2026
Garden State Circle is published by Garden State Circle Holdings LLC, a New Jersey company based in Martinsville, New Jersey. This page explains what information we collect when you visit gardenstatecircle.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We have tried to write it the way we would explain it to a neighbor.
What we collect, and why
Information you give us
If you fill out a form on this site (to join our newsletter, request information, tell us about an event, or send a correction), we receive what you type: typically your name, email address, and your message. We use it to reply to you and, if you signed up for one, to send you the newsletter you asked for. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used: which pages people read, how they arrived, roughly where they are (city level), what kind of device they use, and which links they click. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to do this. We use these reports to decide what to write next and to see whether our guides are useful. We do not use this data to identify individual visitors. You can read how Google handles this information at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services, and you can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
We also use the Meta Pixel (Facebook and Instagram) on pages related to advertising and scheduling a call, to measure how our ads perform and to help us reach people who may be interested in Garden State Circle. Meta Pixel sets cookies in your browser to do this. You can read more about how Meta handles this information in Meta’s own Privacy Policy, and you can manage the ads you see through your Facebook ad settings.
We also use HubSpot to receive form submissions and to see which page you were on when you submitted one, and HubSpot sets a cookie in your browser to do this.
The site is delivered through Cloudflare, which protects it from attacks and speeds it up. Cloudflare processes your IP address and browser information for that purpose. Our web host also keeps standard server logs for security. Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people apart from automated bots; Turnstile is covered by Cloudflare’s Turnstile Privacy Addendum at https://www.cloudflare.com/turnstile-privacy-policy/.
Cookies
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. This site uses cookies for Google Analytics, as described above, and cookies that are needed for the site itself to work (for example, to remember that you have already submitted a form). You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will still work.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with businesses that appear in our guides. The companies that help us run the site can process it on our behalf and only for that purpose: Google (analytics), Cloudflare (security and delivery), our web host, and the email service we use to send the newsletter. We also share subscriber email addresses with Meta (Facebook and Instagram) so it can match them to accounts and show our ads to the people on our list. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.
Businesses named in our guides
Our guides describe local businesses using information the businesses publish themselves and public records such as state licensing registries and municipal offices. If you own or represent a business and believe something we published about it is out of date or wrong, email admin@gardenstatecircle.com and we will check it and correct it.
Links to other sites
Our guides link to the websites of the businesses and public offices they describe. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control.
Children
This site is written for adults making decisions about their homes, health, and community. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from any email we send using the link in the email. You can ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it by emailing admin@gardenstatecircle.com. You can block analytics cookies in your browser or with the Google opt-out add-on linked above.
Changes to this page
When we change how we collect or use information, we update this page and change the date at the top. This is the only privacy policy for gardenstatecircle.com; wherever the site refers to its privacy policy, it means this page.
