Childroute writes about Childroute. This policy explains the data side of visiting childroute.com in plain terms.

Age and This Site

This is not a children’s site. It is not directed to under-13s (or under-16s where that threshold applies), no data is knowingly collected from them, and any that arrives is deleted once identified.

About Cookies

• Cookies and similar browser storage are covered separately, in detail, in our Cookie Policy.

• 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.

Your Control

Whichever framework applies to you — UK/EU GDPR, California’s CCPA/CPRA, or another US state law — you can generally request access, correction, deletion, or portability of your data, object to particular uses, and opt out of sale or sharing for advertising. Global Privacy Control signals are honoured without you needing to contact us. Our State Privacy Notice and Do Not Sell or Share page go further.

The Mailing List

The list is confirmed opt-in only. You will get a verification email before anything else, every subsequent message has an unsubscribe link and our postal address, and removal is processed immediately.

Storage and Safeguards

Nothing is kept longer than it is needed for. Analytics data ages out on the provider’s schedule, subscriber addresses last until you unsubscribe, comments stay until removed. Access is limited, connections are encrypted in transit, and while no site can promise perfect security, we take reasonable and proportionate measures.

What This Site Records

We may record the usual technical details of a visit (IP address, device, browser, referrer, pages requested) together with anything you volunteer: your email address if you subscribe, and the name and address attached to any comment you post.

Because this site covers Childroute, one point deserves its own sentence — we ask readers not to send us sensitive personal details, and we delete rather than retain anything of that kind that reaches us unprompted.

Partners and Providers

Outside services may sit behind this site: our host, an analytics tool, an email provider used only if you subscribe, and advertising partners where ads run. Their handling of data is governed by their own policies, and for advertising and analytics vendors that means they act as independent controllers, not merely as processors on our behalf.

What It Is Used For

It is used to run the site, to improve what we publish by seeing which pages are read, to honour newsletter subscriptions, and to serve advertising where that is in place.
