Information collected automatically

When you visit Nook and Nest Guide, the website and service providers
that support it may process technical information such as your IP address,
browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited,
approximate location derived from an IP address, timestamps, and general
interaction information.

This information may be recorded in hosting logs, security systems,
caching services, analytics tools, consent-management systems,
advertising technologies, or other services used to operate
and improve the website.

How information is used

Information may be used to:

• respond to questions, feedback, and requests;
• deliver and manage newsletter subscriptions;
• operate, secure, troubleshoot, maintain, and improve the website;
• measure general site usage and content performance;
• understand which content is useful to visitors;
• detect spam, fraud, abuse, security incidents, or technical problems;
• display, measure, and manage advertising where advertising
  services are enabled;
• manage affiliate attribution where applicable;
• comply with applicable legal or administrative requirements.

Cookies and similar technologies

Nook and Nest Guide may use cookies, local storage, pixels,
tags, scripts, or similar technologies.

Necessary technologies may be used for WordPress administration,
website security, consent preferences, caching, forms, and other
functions required for the website to operate.

Optional technologies may be used for analytics, preferences,
advertising, marketing, embedded content, affiliate attribution,
or other third-party services.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may be asked
to make choices about optional cookies or similar technologies.
You can review or change available choices through the
Manage Consent control on this website.

You may also control cookies through your browser settings.
Blocking necessary cookies may affect some website features.

Google AdSense and advertising

Nook and Nest Guide may use Google AdSense and related Google
advertising services to display advertisements on this website.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar
technologies to serve ads based on a visitor’s previous visits
to Nook and Nest Guide and/or other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its
advertising partners to serve ads to users based on visits
to this website and/or other websites on the Internet.

Depending on the visitor’s location, consent choices, Google
settings, and applicable law, advertisements may be personalized
or non-personalized.

Personalized advertising may use information about previous
browsing activity or interests. Non-personalized advertising
generally does not use past browsing behavior to select ads,
although cookies or similar technologies may still be used for
purposes such as frequency capping, aggregated reporting,
fraud prevention, security, and measurement.

Visitors can manage or opt out of personalized advertising
through
Google Ads Settings.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites
or apps that use Google services by reviewing
Google’s information about data use on partner sites and apps.

More information about Google’s privacy practices is available
through
Google’s Privacy Policy.

Third-party advertising vendors and networks

In addition to Google, other third-party advertising vendors,
advertising networks, demand partners, or advertising technology
providers may participate in the delivery, measurement,
personalization, security, or reporting of advertisements
displayed on this website.

These providers may use cookies or similar technologies in
accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable
consent choices.

The advertising partners available to the site may change over
time as advertising services, regulatory requirements, and
publisher settings change.

Where required, information about participating advertising
partners and available consent choices may be presented through
the website’s consent-management platform or through privacy
controls provided by our advertising services.

Advertising consent and privacy choices

Where required by applicable law, visitors may be provided with
choices regarding advertising, marketing, analytics, and other
optional technologies before those technologies are used.

Available choices may include accepting or rejecting optional
cookies, selecting individual consent categories, withdrawing
previously provided consent, or opting out of certain forms of
targeted or personalized advertising.

You can review the options available to you through the
Manage Consent control on Nook and Nest Guide.

Analytics

Nook and Nest Guide may use analytics services to understand
general website traffic, content performance, device categories,
referral sources, and interactions with pages.

Depending on the analytics service, your location, consent choices,
and applicable law, analytics technologies may process information
such as IP address, browser or device information, page views,
session information, and general interaction data.

Analytics information is used to understand and improve the website
rather than to determine sensitive personal characteristics about
individual visitors.

Newsletter and contact forms

Newsletter information may be processed by Hostinger Reach
or another email delivery provider used by the website.

Contact form submissions are used to respond to your request
and may be stored in the website database, email system,
or hosting environment for as long as reasonably necessary
for support, security, legal, and record-keeping purposes.

You may unsubscribe from marketing email using the unsubscribe
link included in an email or by contacting us.

Embedded content and external services

Pages may contain images, fonts, videos, social links,
affiliate destinations, widgets, or other content or services
provided by third parties.

Loading or visiting those services may allow the third-party
provider to receive technical information about your device
or interaction in accordance with that provider’s own
privacy policy.

Affiliate links

Some pages on Nook and Nest Guide may contain affiliate links.
If you follow an affiliate link, the destination website
or affiliate network may use cookies, tracking parameters,
or similar technologies to attribute a purchase or other action.

Affiliate compensation does not change the price you pay unless
otherwise stated. Please review the destination website’s
privacy policy and privacy choices before providing personal
information.

For more information about our affiliate relationships,
please review our
Affiliate Disclosure.

How information may be shared

We do not sell personal information for money.

Information may be disclosed to service providers that help
operate the website, provide hosting, deliver email, manage
consent, prevent abuse, analyze performance, display or measure
advertising, process affiliate attribution, or provide other
services used by the website.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to
comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests,
protect rights or security, investigate abuse or fraud,
enforce applicable terms, or complete a legitimate business
transition.

Some privacy laws use terms such as sale,
sharing, or targeted advertising
more broadly than an exchange of personal information for money.
Certain advertising or analytics activities may fall within
those definitions depending on applicable law.

Data retention and security

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary
for the purpose for which it was collected, operational records,
website security, dispute resolution, compliance obligations,
or other legitimate business purposes.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed
to protect information. However, no method of electronic storage
or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have
rights regarding personal information associated with you,
including rights to request access, correction, deletion,
restriction, objection, or a portable copy of certain information.

You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing
is based on consent or to opt out of certain forms of targeted
advertising, sale, or sharing.

We may need to verify a request before completing it.

U.S. privacy notice

This section supplements the rest of this Privacy Policy for
visitors in the United States.

Depending on how you interact with the website, categories of
personal information that may be processed include identifiers
and contact information, such as a name, email address, or IP
address; internet or other electronic activity, such as pages
viewed and interactions with the site; approximate location
derived from an IP address; advertising or analytics information;
and information associated with an affiliate-link interaction.

This information may be obtained from you, your browser or device,
and service providers that help operate, measure, monetize,
secure, or improve the website.

These categories may be used for the purposes described in this
Privacy Policy, including operating and securing the website,
responding to requests, delivering requested communications,
measuring content performance, preventing abuse, managing
advertising, maintaining records, and improving the website.

We do not sell personal information for money. However, some
U.S. state privacy laws may define certain uses of advertising
technologies, analytics services, cookies, or disclosures to
advertising partners as a “sale,” “sharing,” or
“targeted advertising” even when no money is exchanged.

Where required by applicable law, visitors may be provided with
consent or opt-out choices for these activities through the
website’s consent controls or other privacy mechanisms.

U.S. state privacy rights

Subject to applicable law and any legal exceptions, residents
of certain U.S. states may have rights to:

• confirm whether we process their personal information;
• request access to certain personal information;
• request correction of inaccurate information;
• request deletion of certain information;
• request a portable copy of certain information;
• opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising,
  or qualifying profiling activities;
• limit certain uses of sensitive personal information
  where applicable;
• exercise privacy rights without unlawful discrimination.

To submit a privacy request, email

contact@nookandnestguide.com

or use the
contact page.

Please describe the request and the U.S. state in which you reside.
We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your
identity and authority.

Where permitted by applicable law, an authorized agent may submit
a request with appropriate proof of authorization. Where applicable
law provides an appeal right, you may appeal a denied request by
replying to our decision.

Browser privacy and opt-out signals

There is currently no single universally applicable standard for
the legacy “Do Not Track” browser signal, and the website does not
rely on that signal as its primary privacy control.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally valid
universal opt-out mechanism and the website’s technology is
configured to receive and honor such a signal, it will be handled
in accordance with applicable requirements.

You can also review or change available optional cookie choices
through the Manage Consent control.

International visitors

Nook and Nest Guide is accessible internationally. Privacy,
advertising, cookie, and consent requirements may differ depending
on the visitor’s location.

Where required, the website may present region-specific consent
or privacy choices through its consent-management or advertising
platforms.

Children’s privacy

Nook and Nest Guide is intended for a general audience and is not
directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly request personal information from children
under 13 through this website. If we become aware that personal
information from a child has been submitted in circumstances where
it should not have been collected, we may take reasonable steps
to delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the website, its services,
advertising arrangements, analytics tools, privacy technologies,
or applicable requirements change.

When material changes are made, the
Last updated date at the top of this page
will be revised.
