What are cookies and how we use them?
Cookies are small pieces of code that are saved in your browser when you visit different pages on websites like this one.
Our site adds cookies to your browser to track the pages you visit while you are here.
This information enables us to tailor your website experience during this and future visits, show you relevant ads on Facebook, Instagram and other platforms and track the overall performance of our site using Google Analytics.
We display ads across the site from Google Adsense and these ads may be tailored to you by Google based on the previous websites you have visited.
If you’d prefer not to have your activity tracked on our site and others, you can switch off cookies in your Internet Browser.
What data do we collect?
Digital Downloads
When you place an order for a digital product we collect enough information for you to be able to securely download the product from our website. This includes your name and email address.
Orders for physical products
When you place an order for physical products, we collect enough information to enable us to contact you and to deliver your order. This includes your name, delivery address, email address. You have the option to provide your phone number and if you do we will only call you if we need to discuss your order.
How do we manage and share your data?
We use several external services providers to store and manage our clients data:
Email Marketing & Subscribers Area
We use Beehiiv for email marketing and email automation. Beehiiv enables us to send you tailored email messages, newsletters and campaigns based on your history with us instead of ‘one size fits all’.
Every email we send you has an ‘Unsubscribe’ link at the end of it – Clicking Unsubscribe will take you off our main email list and you won’t receive any more newsletters or marketing related emails.
eCommerce
We use Woocommerce which is our eCommerce platform that is integrated into our website.
Your contact, delivery and order data will be stored in Woocommerce if you place or have placed an order through our online Shop.
Payments in our online shop are processed either via Stripe or PayPal and all payment information is handled directly by those companies. We don’t collect or store any payment information during the checkout process.
Facebook & Instagram
We use Facebook and Instagram to show targeted ads to our website visitors, subscribers and customers. This involves using the ‘Facebook Pixel’ which is a cookie that tracks the pages you visit on our website to tailor the ads you see from us on Facebook and Instagram. We also upload lists of subscribers and customers (name and email address) into Facebook so that Facebook can cross match our contacts with Facebook accounts to enable more accurate ad targeting. These lists are encrypted before they uploaded.
Apart from the storage methods detailed above, we don’t share your data with any other third parties.
What happens when I join your email list?
There are a number of ways of joining our email list, including:
- When you request a free downloadable resource like our Big Lap Budget Spreadsheet or Ultimate Road Trip Packing List
- When you subscribe to our Newsletter
- When you purchase anything from our online shop
Once you have joined our email list we will email you from time to time about new content on our site, special offers and new products and projects.
We do not sell or rent our email list to anyone.
You can click the UNSUBSCRIBE link at the bottom of any email from us which will take you off our email list and stop further emails.
How long do we store your data?
We store your information indefinitely unless you ask us to delete it.
How do I get my data removed from your systems?
If you would like us to permanently delete all of your data on our systems, contact us.
Display ads and affiliate Links
We display ads across the site from various ad networks like Google Adsense and also include affiliate links in some of our outbound links and advertising banners. Clicking on an affiliate link to a partner website may result in us earning a small commission if you choose to buy a product from that company. This makes no difference to the cost of the product to you and helps us to keep the site running.
