We currently use Kit (formerly ConvertKit) to provide newsletter signup forms, manage subscribers and send or manage email communications.
When you subscribe, information you provide—such as your email address and, if requested, your name—is processed through Kit so that we can manage our subscriber list and send the communications you requested.
Kit may process subscriber information on our behalf in accordance with its own terms and data-processing practices.
You may unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those emails.
Unsubscribing will stop future marketing communications, although certain information may be retained when reasonably necessary for legal, recordkeeping, suppression-list or other legitimate purposes.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
Our website and the third-party services we use may use cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on or accessed through your browser or device. They may be used for purposes such as:
- Providing basic website functionality
- Remembering preferences
- Measuring website traffic and usage
- Understanding how visitors interact with our content
- Measuring link activity
- Supporting newsletter features
- Supporting affiliate tracking
- Supporting embedded or integrated third-party content
Depending on where you live and the technologies being used, you may be presented with options to accept, reject or manage certain cookies and tracking technologies.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect the way certain portions of the website function.
Analytics
We use, or may use, analytics services to better understand how visitors find and use our website.
These services include Google Analytics and analytics tools provided through our website hosting, management or technology providers, including GoDaddy.
Analytics technologies may collect information such as pages visited, approximate location, device and browser information, referring sources, interactions with the website and other usage information.
We use analytics information to understand our audience, identify useful content, improve our website and evaluate website performance.
Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to measure visitor interactions. Your ability to control or opt out of certain analytics technologies may depend on your browser settings, our consent-management tools and options made available by the applicable service provider.
Affiliate Links
Some of the links on this website are affiliate links.
This means that if you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase or booking, we may receive a commission or other compensation at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate programs and networks may use cookies, tracking codes or similar technologies to determine that a purchase, booking or other qualifying action originated from our website.
Our current or potential affiliate relationships may include companies and programs such as:
- Amazon Associates
- K9 Ops USA
- m.barc
- Hotel, lodging and travel affiliate programs, including Marriott if we participate in its affiliate program
- Other carefully selected companies, services or affiliate networks that are relevant to our content
Our affiliate relationships may change over time. The inclusion of a company in this Privacy Policy does not necessarily mean that an affiliate relationship is currently active.
We disclose affiliate relationships where appropriate in our content and near affiliate recommendations or links.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
For more information about our use of affiliate links and how we select products and services to recommend, please see our Affiliate Disclaimer.
Affiliate Link & Click Tracking
Some tools used on our website, including affiliate-link tools or plugins, may help us organize, display or measure interactions with affiliate links.
For example, we currently use or may use tools such as AffiliateX to display affiliate-related content or links.
Depending on the features enabled, these tools or the affiliate company receiving the click may process information about link interactions so that purchases or referrals can be properly attributed and commissions can be calculated.
We may change the tools used to manage affiliate content without changing the basic practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Social Media & Embedded Content
We maintain a presence on social-media platforms and may link to or display content from services such as:
Our website may display social-media feeds, posts, buttons, links or other integrated content. We may use services or plugins, such as Smash Balloon, to display social-media content on our website.
Depending on the technology used, your consent choices and the way a feature is configured, interacting with or loading social-media content may allow the applicable social-media provider to receive information such as your IP address, device or browser information, or information about your interaction with the content.
Social-media companies operate independently from us and process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.
Simply following a link from our website to a social-media platform—or following a link from one of our social-media profiles to this website—may also result in the social-media platform processing information under its own policies.
Where required or appropriate, we may use privacy settings or consent-management tools designed to limit third-party social-media requests until a visitor has made a consent choice.
Third-Party Websites & Services
Our website contains links to websites, businesses, destinations, hotels, restaurants, products and other third-party resources.
We provide many of these links simply to make it easier for our readers to find additional information.
Once you leave our website, the privacy practices of the website you visit are controlled by that third party. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy or practices of third-party websites.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of websites and services you choose to use.

Depending on the services currently enabled, these providers may assist with:

These service providers may process information as necessary to provide their services to us and may have their own legal obligations and privacy practices.

We may disclose or make information available to service providers that help us operate the website and provide services requested by visitors, such as our email service provider, website providers and analytics services.

Email Choices
You may unsubscribe from our newsletter or marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link provided in our emails.
Please allow a reasonable amount of time for your request to be processed.
Do Not Track & Privacy Signals
Some browsers and devices offer “Do Not Track” or other privacy-preference signals.
Because there is not one universally accepted standard governing all such signals and technologies, our website may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track signal in the same manner.
Where applicable law requires recognition of a particular legally recognized opt-out preference signal, we will endeavor to honor that signal as required.
You may also manage certain cookies and tracking technologies through any cookie-preference tools made available on our website and through your browser settings.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing requested services, maintaining business and legal records, resolving disputes, preventing abuse and complying with legal obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the service involved.
For example, newsletter subscriber information may remain in our email platform until you unsubscribe or until it is otherwise deleted, subject to information that may need to be retained for suppression, legal or recordkeeping purposes.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information under our control.
However, no website, email transmission, database or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or through our website.
Please use care when deciding what information to send through the internet.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed toward children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website.
If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information without appropriate authorization, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
International Visitors
Our website is operated from the United States and may be accessed by visitors in other countries.
If you access our website from outside the United States, information may be processed or stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Privacy and data-protection laws in those locations may differ from the laws in your country.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland or other jurisdictions may have additional privacy rights under applicable law.
Where consent is required for certain cookies, analytics, email marketing or similar technologies, we endeavor to provide appropriate consent choices.
California Visitors
California residents may have rights under applicable California privacy laws.
California law also requires certain commercial websites that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers to conspicuously provide information about their privacy practices.
If you are a California resident and would like to ask a question about information we maintain about you or request access, correction or deletion where applicable, please contact us using the information below.
We will respond to valid requests as required by applicable law.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our website, services, affiliate relationships, technology or legal obligations change.
When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically so you remain informed about our privacy practices.
