This page explains what information Chasing Summer Points (chasingsummerpoints.com) collects when you visit, how it's used, and the choices you have. The site is a simple blog: there are no accounts, no logins, and no purchases.
Information you give me
The only way to send information to the site is the contact form. It asks for your name, email address, state (optional), a subject, and your message. That information is saved in the site's database and emailed to the site's inbox, and it's used only to read and answer your message. Contact-form details are not sold and are not used for advertising.
Information collected automatically
Like almost every website, this one receives some technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and the page that sent you here. The site uses these services:
- Google Analytics measures which articles are read and how people find the site. It uses cookies and similar technology to count visits.
- Cloudflare delivers the site and protects it from attacks and bots, and its web analytics tool counts page views.
- Google Fonts loads the typefaces used on the site, which means your browser requests them from Google.
- Google AdSense shows ads, as described below.
Advertising and cookies
This site shows ads served by Google. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. 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 can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, a consent message lets you choose whether to allow cookies for personalized ads. You can change that choice at any time. Residents of some US states have similar rights and can opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for advertising through the options Google provides.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work, though some features of third-party services may not.
Links to other sites
Articles may mention airlines, banks, and hotel chains, and the site links to my YouTube channel. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and this policy doesn't cover them.
Children
This site is written for adults and isn't directed at children under 13. I don't knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information I hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to certain uses. For anything you sent through the contact form, just ask and I'll delete it. Use the contact page or email [email protected].
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new "last updated" date.
