Plannedathome writes about Plannedathome. This policy explains the data side of visiting plannedathome.com in plain terms.

What Gets Collected

• Visiting plannedathome.com may generate ordinary technical information — IP address, browser and device type, referring page, and the pages opened. Anything you type in yourself, such as an email address for the newsletter or a name against a comment, is collected only because you chose to provide it.
• One thing worth stating plainly for a site about Plannedathome: we ask readers not to send us sensitive personal details, and we delete rather than retain anything of that kind that reaches us unprompted.

If You Subscribe

Email goes only to people who asked for it, verified by a double opt-in step. Each send includes an unsubscribe link and a postal address, and unsubscribing takes effect straight away.

Partners and Providers

This site may involve a hosting provider, an analytics provider, an email service (only if you subscribe), and advertising partners (only where advertising is served). Some process data strictly on our behalf; advertising and analytics vendors typically act as controllers in their own right.

Storage and Safeguards

Anything we hold has a limited life: it is kept while needed for the purpose it was collected for, then removed or allowed to expire. We use access controls and encryption in transit, and take reasonable steps overall, while being clear that no method of transmission or storage is entirely secure.

Our Use of Your Data

We process this information to maintain and secure the site, to analyse readership in aggregate, to send opted-in email, and to support advertising if and where it runs.

Rights Under Applicable Law

Readers in the UK and EU have GDPR rights; readers in California and other US states have comparable rights under CCPA/CPRA and similar statutes. In practice this means you can ask to see, correct, delete, or export your data, object to certain processing, and opt out of sale or sharing for advertising. We honour Global Privacy Control. The State Privacy Notice and Do Not Sell or Share pages have the detail.

Minors

This site is written for adults. It is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where local law sets that threshold), we do not knowingly collect data from them, and if we learn we have, we delete it.

Tracking and Storage

For anything cookie-related, our Cookie Policy is the document that applies.

Where advertising is served, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.
