Effective Date: August 12, 2026
Introduction & Who We Are
InstantGreen Sod ("we," "us," or "our") provides fresh-cut sod installation, replacement, and delivery services for homes and businesses across the greater Tampa Bay area. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the personal information you provide when you visit https://instantgreensodinc.com (the "Site").
By using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy.
Personal Data We Collect
We collect only the information necessary to respond to your inquiries and improve how the Site functions.
Information You Give Us Directly
When you submit a contact form on the Site, we collect your name, your email address, your phone number if you choose to include it, and the content of your message. Providing a phone number is voluntary.
Information Collected Automatically
When you browse the Site, we and our analytics provider automatically receive standard technical information: pages visited, time spent on the Site, general geographic region, browser type, device type, and the referring URL. This data is associated with a cookie identifier rather than your name or email.
How We Use Your Data
We use the information we collect for the following purposes.
Responding to inquiries. We use your contact-form submission to reply to your question or request for a quote. Our legal basis for this processing is the performance of pre-contractual steps at your request (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)) and, where that basis does not apply, our legitimate interest in operating our business.
Improving the Site. We analyze aggregated, anonymized usage data to understand how visitors use the Site, identify errors, and make the experience better. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in maintaining a functional website (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)).
Complying with legal obligations. We may process or retain data as required by applicable law or to defend against a legal claim.
We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling.
Sharing & Processors
We share personal data only with the service provider listed below. We do not sell your personal information.
| Processor | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Google LLC (Google Analytics) | Site analytics and usage measurement | United States |
Google Analytics receives anonymized usage data (pages viewed, session duration, general location) via cookies. Google processes this data under its own Privacy Policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy. We have entered into Google's standard data-processing terms where required.
Beyond Google Analytics, we do not transfer your personal data to any other third party except where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
International Transfers
Google Analytics is operated by Google LLC, a company based in the United States. If you visit the Site from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with data-transfer restrictions, your usage data may be transferred to and processed in the United States.
EU / UK: Where GDPR or UK GDPR applies, such transfers are made on the basis of Google's Standard Contractual Clauses or another approved transfer mechanism. You may request further information about these safeguards by contacting us.
Data Retention
We retain contact-form submissions for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter in case you follow up or a dispute arises. Analytics data is retained in accordance with Google Analytics' standard retention settings.
When data is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected and no legal obligation requires us to keep it, we delete or anonymize it.
Your Rights
EU / UK Residents
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the GDPR and UK GDPR give you the following rights with respect to your personal data:
- Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure — ask us to delete your data in certain circumstances.
- Restriction — ask us to limit how we use your data while a concern is resolved.
- Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (in the EU, the relevant national Data Protection Authority; in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office at https://ico.org.uk).

You have the right to access your personal information and to challenge its accuracy. Requests may be directed to us using the contact information below.
Cookies & Analytics
The Site uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser — for analytics purposes.
Google Analytics places cookies on your device to measure how visitors interact with the Site. The data collected (pages visited, session duration, approximate location, device type) is aggregated and used to improve the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies such as _ga and _gid.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You may also manage or disable cookies through your browser settings; note that doing so may affect some Site functionality.
Beyond analytics, we do not use tracking, advertising, or social-media cookies.
Security Measures
We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. Data transmitted between your browser and the Site is protected by TLS encryption (HTTPS). Access to stored contact-form submissions is limited to those who need it to respond to your inquiry.
No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently received information from a child, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the Effective Date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after a posted update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
