How we handle your data.
We collect as little as possible, sell nothing, and explain everything we do in plain English.
This privacy policy explains what data Florida Hidden Spots collects when you visit this website, why we collect it, and what we do with it. We try to be straightforward — no legal smoke screens.
What we collect
Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how people find and use the site. This includes anonymized data like the page you visited, the rough location you visited from, the browser and device you used, and the page that referred you. We do not collect names, email addresses, or other personal identifiers through analytics.
Newsletter sign-ups. If you subscribe to the Sunday Dispatch, we collect your email address. We use it only to send the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
Cookies for ads. This site displays ads through Google AdSense, which may set cookies to personalize the ads you see. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google's Ad Settings.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your data to third parties.
- We do not maintain a database of personal profiles or interests.
- We do not require accounts to read or browse the site.
- We do not track you across other sites for our own purposes.
Your rights
You can request that we delete any personal data we hold about you (essentially, your newsletter email if you subscribed) by emailing [email protected]. We'll process the request within 30 days.
Third parties
We use a small number of third-party services to operate the site: Google Analytics (analytics), Google AdSense (advertising), and a hosting provider. Each has its own privacy policy that you can read.
Updates
We'll update this policy if our practices change. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. For material changes that affect existing subscribers, we'll notify you by email.
