Privacy Policy

I provide this privacy policy as a statement to you of my commitment to protect your personal information. It is important to protect your online privacy.

This page explains the type of personal information that is collected when you use the Sage Urban Homesteading website, as well as some of the steps we take to safeguard information. I hope this will help you make an informed decision about sharing personal information on this website.

Sage-Urban-Homesteading.com strives to maintain the highest standards of decency, fairness, and integrity in all operations. Likewise, I am personally dedicated to protecting the privacy of online visitors to this website.

Personal Information

Sage-Urban-Homesteading.com collects personally identifiable information from the visitors to our website only on a voluntary basis. Personal information collected on a voluntary basis may include name, postal address, and email address.

This information is collected if you request information from us, share feedback, write about your homestead, or request some other service or information from us. The information collected is internally reviewed, used to improve the content of our website, notify visitors of updates, and respond to visitor inquiries.

Once information is reviewed, it is discarded or stored in my files. If I make any material changes in the collection of personally identifiable information, I will inform you by placing a notice on this site. Personal information received from any visitor will be used only for internal purposes and will not be sold or provided to third parties under any circumstances.

Serving Cookies

Online advertisers may use "cookies" to help personalize your online experience. These aren't the kind of cookies you can eat! Computer cookies are identifiers that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your web browser to enable systems to recognize your browser. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize a sites' pages, or register with a website's services, a cookie enables that website to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying your browser settings; however, if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of many websites.

Sage Urban Homesteading itself uses the services of Google Analytics to collect data used to optimize webpages. No personally identifiable demographic information is available to us. It is all presented as statistics and trends over time.

Some of the third party ads on our site may use devices such as cookies or web beacons to collect information for a more personalized internet experience.

If you would like to opt-out of Google Analytics, there is an opt-out browser extension available that works with several platforms.

Advertising Cookies

We use third-party advertising company AdSense to serve ads on our website. These companies use cookies and web beacons in their ads to ascertain how many times you've seen an advertisement. We share this information with these companies, but do not provide them with any personally identifiable information for cookie or web beacon use, so they cannot personally identify you with that information from our website.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

This website is directed at adults and mature students; it is not designed for children under the age of 13. I operate my website in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and will not knowingly collect or use personal information from anyone under 13 years of age. I feel it's common sense that anyone under age 13 should use the internet under adult supervision, but I'll mention it anyway.

Non-Personal Information

In some cases, this website may collect information about you that is not personally identifiable. I use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about the user base as a whole. The information collected is used solely for internal review and not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes under any circumstances.

Release of Information

If the Sage Urban Homesteading website is sold, the information obtained from you through your voluntary participation in the site may transfer to the new owner as a part of the sale so that that the service being provided to you may continue. In that event, you will receive notice through the website of the change in control and practices, and I will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that the purchaser honors any opt-out requests you might make.

Updates and Effective Date

Sage-Urban-Homesteading.com reserves the right to make changes in this policy. If there is a material change in privacy practices, this page will indicate that our privacy practices have changed and provide obvious notation about what is different, because I have nothing to hide and want you to see the information. I encourage you to periodically review this policy so that you will know what information is collected and how it is used.

I last reviewed this page on 12/29/2020 and found no need to update anything of significance, only the breadcrumb navigation feature.
