Effective 1 May 2026
When you read our guides on money, housing, wellness and everyday life on plainpathguide.com, some information is processed automatically. This policy describes that processing and how Plain Path Guide keeps it to a minimum.
Personal information is only collected when you provide it voluntarily, for example through our contact form or by emailing us directly.
We also receive standard technical information, including browser and device type, approximate location derived from your IP address, and how you navigate the site.
The information helps us run the website, answer your questions, measure readership, fix technical problems and protect against abuse.
Your personal information is not sold or rented to third parties.
Third-party ad networks, including Google, may use cookies to show you ads based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalised ads from Google at adssettings.google.com, and from many other vendors at www.aboutads.info/choices or www.youronlinechoices.eu.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site and support advertising.
Most browsers let you refuse new cookies, delete existing ones or be alerted when a cookie is set. Check your browser's help pages for details.
We use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors find and use the site. These tools collect information in aggregate form and may set their own cookies.
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
Information may be shared with trusted vendors who process it on our behalf, with authorities if the law requires it, or with a successor if the site changes ownership.
You may ask us what personal data we hold about you, request corrections or deletion, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, you may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Our content is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU).
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Our articles may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
This policy may be revised. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
If you have any questions about this policy or your data, email us at [email protected].
