I share this information with WordPress, Ezoic, and Google Analytics, my website analytics providers, to learn about site traffic and activity.

No personal information is stored on the site or its backend at any time.

I will never sell or trade your information, and if at any time you want to unsubscribe from any email communication, you can do so by using the link at the bottom of each email.
What personal information do I collect from the people that visit my blog, website, or app?
When ordering or registering on this site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, email address, or other details to help you with your experience.
We may send you marketing emails, which you can unsubscribe from by clicking the link at the bottom of the email. We share your contact information with FloDesk, our email marketing provider, so they can send these emails on our behalf.
Do I use ‘cookies’?
Yes. This website uses cookies, which are small files or pieces of text that download to a device when a visitor accesses a website or app. For information about how these cookies are deployed, as well as your options for controlling them, visit the WordPress cookie policy.
Rachel Off Duty mainly uses cookies to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. I also use trusted third party services that track this information on my behalf, such as Google Analytics (To learn exactly how Google uses your data, you may find out more here: How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps) and Ezoic (To learn exactly how Ezoic uses your data, you may find out more here: Ezoic privacy policy).
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings.
Third party links
Occasionally, at my discretion, I may include or offer third party products or services on this website. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. I therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, I seek to protect the integrity of my site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
Disclosures
Partnerships
Occasionally, this blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions, or other forms of compensation (such as a free or discounted accommodation, flight, hotel room, or product). Any content, advertising space, or post shared in partnership with a third party entity will be clearly identified as paid or sponsored content.
I will always provide honest and unbiased reviews of my experiences, as I retain complete editorial control in any partnership I promote. I work hard to ensure that Rachel Off Duty does not endorse brands I do not believe in or support – anything I recommend to you, I would (and do) use myself.
Affiliate Links
In some instances, I may include affiliate links in posts recommending products, websites, or resources. If you purchase or book something through one of my affiliate links, I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. These links are always disclosed.
Amazon Services LLC Associates Program
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
