Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to me. This Privacy Policy explains what information EasyCruiseMom.com collects, how it’s used, and your choices around that. I’ll keep this as plain and readable as possible, because nobody actually wants to read a wall of legalese.

Who runs this site

EasyCruiseMom.com is a personal blog and affiliate site operated by Heidi, based in the United States. If you have questions about this policy, you can reach me at hello@easycruisemom.com.

What information is collected

Information you give me directly. If you fill out a contact form or subscribe to an email list, I collect the information you enter (like your name and email address). I only use this to communicate with you and will never sell or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, EasyCruiseMom.com may automatically collect basic data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This is done through tools like Google Analytics to help me understand how readers find and use the site.

Cookies. This site may use cookies, which are small text files stored on your device. Cookies help the site function properly and allow analytics tools to track basic usage. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies if you prefer, though some parts of the site may not work correctly as a result.

Third-party services

I use a few third-party tools to run this site:

  • Google Analytics for understanding site traffic. Google’s privacy policy applies to data collected through Analytics.
  • Amazon Associates for affiliate links. Amazon may use cookies to track purchases made through my links. Amazon’s privacy policy applies to any data they collect.
  • Google AdSense (if ads are enabled). Google may use cookies and data to show relevant ads. You can learn more at Google’s Privacy Policy or opt out via the Google Ads Settings.
  • Email marketing tools (such as Mailchimp or ConvertKit, if used) to manage any email list. Their privacy policies apply to data collected through those platforms.

How your information is used

  • To respond to messages or questions you send me
  • To improve the content and experience on EasyCruiseMom.com
  • To send email newsletters (only if you opted in)
  • To understand site traffic and what content is helpful

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.

Children’s privacy

EasyCruiseMom.com is intended for adults (primarily parents) planning family cruises. This site is not directed at children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact me so I can remove it.

Your choices

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data I may have from you by emailing easycruisemom@gmail.com. If you’re subscribed to emails, there’s an unsubscribe link in every email I send.

Changes to this policy

I may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. When I do, I’ll update the “last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
