Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 21, 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how Stranded At Home (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website, strandedathome.com (the “Site”), which is powered by WordPress.
1. Information We Collect
We collect very limited information from our website visitors. The types of information we may collect include:
- Analytics Data (via Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Site. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address (anonymized), browser type, operating system, referring pages, pages visited, and the dates and times of your visits. This information is aggregated and used to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users’ movements around the Site, and gather demographic information. Google Analytics does not directly identify individual users. You can learn more about Google’s privacy practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy and opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Email Newsletter Information (if applicable): If you choose to subscribe to our email newsletter (when available), we will collect your email address. We will use this information solely to send you updates, news, and promotional materials related to Stranded At Home. We will not share your email address with third parties for their marketing purposes. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by following the instructions in the email.
- WordPress Default Data & Cookies: Our website is built on WordPress. Even without active comments, WordPress may set certain cookies for essential functionality, such as a “test cookie” to check if your browser supports cookies. If, in the future, we were to enable comments or allow user accounts, WordPress could also collect information like your name, email address, and IP address, and set cookies to remember your details for convenience. Currently, we do not have comments enabled on our Site, and we do not provide user accounts or registration. Therefore, WordPress’s default collection of personal information typically associated with these features (like comment data) is not applicable.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To understand and analyze how visitors use our Site and improve its functionality and content.
- To send you our email newsletter, if you have subscribed.
- To comply with legal obligations.
3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties.
We may share your information with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. These third parties include:
- Google Analytics: As mentioned above, Google collects and processes data as a data processor for us.
- Email Marketing Service Provider [Insert Name of Service Provider]: If we use a third-party service to manage our email newsletter, your email address will be shared with that provider solely for the purpose of sending you our newsletter. We will only use reputable providers who have strong privacy practices.
We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.
4. Cookies
Our website uses cookies, which are small files placed on your device by your web browser, to enhance your Browse experience and for the functioning of Google Analytics. Additionally, as our website is powered by WordPress, certain cookies may be set by WordPress for technical functionality (e.g., a test cookie to ensure your browser supports cookies).
You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this Site may become inaccessible or not function properly.
5. Your Choices and Rights
- Opt-out of Google Analytics: You can prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Unsubscribe from Email Newsletter: If you have subscribed to our email newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email you receive from us.
6. Children's Privacy
- Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to delete such information from our systems.
7. Third-Party Links
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on our website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
