Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 25, 2026
This site is run by the Heartland Homestead family. We respect your privacy and try to keep this short and honest. Here is exactly what happens when you visit, click, or sign up.
What we collect
- Email address, only if you submit the newsletter signup form yourself.
- Standard server logs, handled by our host (GitHub Pages) and CDN. These include IP address, browser type, and pages requested. We do not access these logs ourselves.
We do not run our own analytics, advertising trackers, or third-party cookies on this site.
How we use your email
If you sign up for the newsletter, we use your email to send build updates, gear deals, and trip recaps. Nothing else. We will not sell, rent, or share your email with anyone. You can unsubscribe at any time by replying to any email or by emailing us directly at contact@heartland-homestead.com.
Third-party services we use
- FormSubmit.co processes our newsletter signup form and forwards submissions to our contact email. They do not store or sell your data.
- Google Fonts serves the typography. Google may log the request as part of normal CDN operation.
- YouTube embeds and the YouTube Data API show our latest videos. Watching or interacting with embeds is governed by YouTube's privacy policy.
- Amazon Associates: clicking an affiliate link on our gear page sends you to Amazon, which uses its own cookies. We earn a small commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.
Cookies
We do not set our own cookies. Some third-party services above (YouTube, Amazon) may set cookies on the destination sites you visit through us. Their cookie practices are governed by their own policies.
Children
This is a family site about a family channel, but it is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
Your rights
You can request a copy of any data we hold about you (which is essentially just your email if you signed up) and ask us to delete it. Email contact@heartland-homestead.com and we will action it within a few days.
Updates to this policy
If we change anything, we will update the date at the top of this page. Major changes (new tracking, new third parties) will be announced in the newsletter.
