Privacy Policy

Information we collect

You can browse HolidayDates.net without creating an account or submitting your name. Like most websites, our hosting and security services may automatically receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, requested page, referring page, approximate region, and the date and time of a request. We use this information to deliver the site, prevent abuse, diagnose errors, and understand aggregate traffic patterns.

If you contact us by email, we receive the email address and information you choose to include. We use it only to respond, investigate corrections, and maintain an appropriate record of the conversation. Please do not send sensitive personal information through email.

Analytics

Optional Google Analytics measurement is currently paused. This website does not load the Google Analytics tracking script during this pause. Hosting and security providers may still process technical request information as described above. If optional analytics is enabled in the future, we will update this policy and provide the consent choices required for that service.

You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services on Google's partner sites information page. Browser settings and Google's available controls can be used to limit or remove cookies.

Advertising and third-party cookies

Google AdSense advertising is currently paused. We retain a publisher account verification tag and an ads.txt authorization record; these do not load the advertising script. If advertising is enabled later, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses and other identifiers to serve and measure ads. Personalized advertising may use previous browsing activity where permitted and subject to the required consent.

You may manage personalized advertising in Google's Ads Settings. You may also review industry opt-out choices at YourAdChoices. Opting out of personalized advertising does not necessarily remove advertising; it may result in non-personalized ads instead.

Consent choices

Advertising and optional analytics are currently paused while we complete our consent controls. We do not load these optional services during this pause. Essential hosting and security processing continues as described above. Before enabling services that require consent, we will provide the relevant choices and a way to revisit them. For privacy questions, contact hello@holidaydates.net.

Service providers and data sharing

We use hosting and security providers. Optional analytics and advertising are paused as explained above. Active providers may process technical data only as needed to provide their services, comply with law, protect users, or prevent fraud and abuse. We do not sell contact information submitted to us. We may disclose information if legally required or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of the site or its users.

Retention, security, and international processing

Technical logs and correspondence are retained only for as long as reasonably needed for security, support, legal, and operational purposes. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, but we use reputable providers and reasonable safeguards. Because the site and its providers operate internationally, information may be processed in countries other than your own, subject to applicable safeguards.

Children's privacy

HolidayDates.net is a general-audience planning resource and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

Your choices and requests

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of personal information. You may also object to certain processing or withdraw consent. To make a privacy request, email hello@holidaydates.net. We may need enough information to verify and complete the request, but will not ask for more than reasonably necessary.

HolidayDates.net does not sell the contact information you send us. Advertising services are paused as described above. Google's advertising settings may help you manage preferences associated with past activity on other services. Contact us for questions about information previously processed by this site. We do not discriminate against visitors for exercising an applicable privacy right.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy when our services, providers, or legal obligations change. The latest version and update date will remain on this page. Questions about this policy can be sent to hello@holidaydates.net or through our contact page.
