Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 25, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. handles information collected through jfschmidt.com. This Policy is intended to describe our website practices and should be reviewed periodically as our website, services, and legal obligations change.
Information We Collect
We collect information you choose to provide through website forms, including contact forms, newsletter signups, RSVP forms, Tree Locator requests, rack card requests, and requests for JFS materials. Depending on the form, this may include your name, company, mailing address, city, state or province, ZIP or postal code, email address, phone number, fax number, website, requested products or materials, nursery or tree interests, event or transportation preferences, guest information, and message content.
We also collect technical information related to website operation and security, such as IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring pages, dates and times of access, cookie identifiers, consent preferences, and similar diagnostic information.
Cookies, Analytics, And Embedded Content
We use necessary cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, maintain security, remember consent choices, and support forms. Some forms use Google reCAPTCHA to help protect against spam and abuse.
With your consent, we may use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the website. Google Analytics is configured to load only after Statistics consent. We also use technical safeguards to avoid sending common site-search query parameters, including s, search, and q, in analytics page-location data.
With your consent, we may load embedded media such as YouTube videos. YouTube content is treated as Marketing content and is blocked until Marketing consent is provided. If Marketing consent is not provided, the website may show a static image or placeholder instead of the video.
You can change your cookie choices using the consent banner or the controls below.
How We Use Information
We use website information to respond to inquiries, process requests, provide requested materials, support Tree Locator and product-related requests, manage event RSVPs, send newsletter communications when requested, operate and secure the website, prevent spam or abuse, understand and improve website performance, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
How We Share Information
We may share website information with service providers that help us operate the website, host content, process forms or email notifications, provide security and spam prevention, measure website performance, and provide embedded media or analytics services. These providers may include website hosting and CMS providers, form and email tools, Google Analytics, Google reCAPTCHA, YouTube/Google, security or caching tools, and professional advisors when needed.
For this website, we do not intentionally sell personal information for money. Some analytics, advertising, or embedded-media technologies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under California privacy law when they are used for cross-context behavioral advertising or similar purposes. You can opt out of non-essential cookies by rejecting them in the consent banner, changing your cookie choices, or using a browser-based opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control where supported.
Global Privacy Control
Where our website can detect a recognized browser-based opt-out preference signal, including Global Privacy Control, we treat it as an opt-out of Marketing cookies and sale or sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. Necessary cookies that support site operation and security may still be used.
California Privacy Rights
California residents may have rights under California privacy laws, depending on how those laws apply to the request and information involved. These rights may include the right to know or access personal information, delete personal information, correct inaccurate personal information, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, and not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.

Children
This website is not intended for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the website.
Retention
We keep website information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this Policy, including responding to requests, maintaining records, operating and securing the website, and satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting obligations.
Third-Party Websites
Our website may link to third-party websites or social media pages, including Facebook, YouTube, X, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Those third-party websites and services are governed by their own privacy practices.
