Welcome to Verandah Activities! We’re so happy you’re here. As a blog focused on fun and educational activities for kids and families, we understand how important it is to keep your information safe. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our site.

1. What Information We Collect

We want to be transparent about the information we collect and how we use it.

A. Personal Information
When you sign up for our newsletter, leave comments on our blog, or contact us directly, we might collect personal information such as your name, email address, and any other details you provide. We only ask for what we need to stay in touch with you or help with any questions.

We also collect non-personal information through tools like cookies. This might include details like your browser type, the device you use, and the pages you visit on our site. This helps us improve your experience and make our content better.

C. Information from Children
Since Verandah Activities is all about kids, we want to make sure we’re following the rules for privacy. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, in line with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If we ever do, we’ll make sure to get parental consent first. If you believe we’ve collected information from a child without permission, please let us know, and we’ll take care of it immediately.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies (small files stored on your device) to make your visit to Verandah Activities as smooth as possible. Cookies help us remember things like your preferences and which pages you’ve visited. You can manage cookies through your browser settings—either by blocking them entirely or clearing them after each session. Just know that some features of our site might not work as well without cookies.

4. Third-Party Links & Services

Sometimes, our site links to other websites or services that we don’t control. This could include ads or recommendations for other products and services. These third-party sites have their own privacy policies, so we encourage you to review those if you visit any of them. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited the other website.

Additionally, we use third-party services like Google Analytics to help us understand how people use the site. These services may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. These services may collect data about your activities on Verandah Activities—but rest assured, we are not selling your data to anyone.

This site utilizes caching in order to facilitate a faster response time and better user experience. Caching potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page that is on display on this site. All cache files are temporary, and are never accessed by any third party, except as necessary to obtain technical support from the cache plugin vendor. Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator, but may easily be purged by the admin before their natural expiration, if necessary. We may use QUIC.cloud services to process & cache your data temporarily.Please see https://quic.cloud/privacy-policy/ for more details.

5. Advertising Disclosure

We want to be open with you: Verandah Activities may feature ads from third-party companies or affiliate links to products. If you click on one of these links or purchase something through our site, we may earn a small commission. For example, we participate in the Amazon Associates Program, where we earn a commission if you make a purchase through links to Amazon. This helps keep the blog running!

These affiliate links will always be clearly labeled, so you know when we’re earning a commission.

We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. However, we may need to share your information in these situations:

  • To comply with legal requirements or a court order.
  • To protect the safety, rights, or property of Verandah Activities, our users, or the public.
  • If our business is sold or merged, your information may be transferred as part of that process.

7. How We Keep Your Information Safe

We take your privacy seriously and work hard to protect your personal information. However, no method of online transmission is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
