Tamsin Ridge (“we,” “us,” or “the site”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit tamsinridge.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you give us. If you use our contact form, we receive your name, email address, and the message you send. We use it only to respond to you.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers collect certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device, pages viewed, referring site, and the date and time of your visit. This is collected through server logs, cookies, and similar technologies.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to understand how the site is used and to show advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended without them.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (through Google Site Kit) to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are most popular and how people find us. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of the site. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com.
  • You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site may be affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. See our Disclaimer for more.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the site
  • Respond to your messages
  • Understand how visitors use the site
  • Display advertising and measure its performance
  • Protect the site against spam, abuse, and security threats

We do not sell your personal information.

Sharing information

We share information only with service providers that help us run the site (such as our hosting provider, Google Analytics, and Google AdSense), when required by law, or to protect our rights and the safety of our visitors. These providers have their own privacy policies.

Data retention

We keep contact form messages only as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping. Analytics and advertising data are retained according to the settings and policies of the respective providers.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, or to object to certain processing. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we may rely on your consent or on our legitimate interests to process data, and you can withdraw consent at any time. If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under California privacy law, including the right to know what we collect and to request deletion. To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the form on our Contact page.

Children’s privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information, including HTTPS encryption. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
