What Information I Collect and Why

Comments

When you leave a comment, the data you enter (like name and email), your IP address, and browser user agent are collected to help with spam detection. An anonymized string (called a hash) created from your email may be sent to Gravatar to see if you’re using it. Their privacy policy is here: https://automattic.com/privacy/

By posting on this blog you agree to the below policies.

• I do not display your email address publicly
• You can comment anonymously and own all rights to the comments
• I disclaim any or all liability resulting from your postings and you relieve me from any or all liability

Newsletter / Contact Forms

If you sign up for my newsletter or reach out through a contact form, I may collect your name and email address. I’ll only use that info to send you updates or reply to your message. I never sell or share your info.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. This is just for your convenience—so you don’t have to re-type your info when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

The site may also use cookies to:

• Remember your preferences
• Analyze site traffic
• Show personalized ads (more on that below)

You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you’d prefer.

Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics to track visitor behavior (such as what pages are viewed or how you found the site). This data is anonymous and helps me improve the site.

You can learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy.

Embedded Content

Articles on this site may include embedded content (like videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves just like visiting the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction—especially if you’re logged into their site. I don’t control this, so please check their privacy policies directly.

Affiliate Links + Ads

Some links on this site are affiliate links, including but not limited to Amazon, Viator, Stay22, and Travel Payouts. If you click and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you. These links help keep the blog running and the coffee flowing. You’ll pay the same amount, with or without my link.

This site may also display ads through third-party providers, who may use cookies to tailor content. You can opt out of personalized advertising via your browser

Children’s Privacy

This blog is not intended for children under 16. I don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone in that age group. If you believe I’ve collected info from a child, please email me, and I’ll remove it.

Your Rights

If you’ve left a comment or signed up for something and want to see or delete the data I have on file, just contact me at: contactus@ourvacationinglife.com. I’ll handle it as quickly as I can.
