At The Out Camp (“we,” “us,” or “our”), one of my main priorities is the privacy of my visitors. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use this Service, how it’s used, and the choices you have.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, contact me at contact@theoutcamp.com.

1. Information I Collect

Personal information you provide. If you email me directly or use a contact form on the site, I collect whatever you choose to share — typically your name and email address — solely to respond to you.

Log data. Like most websites, my server and analytics tools automatically collect information your browser sends when you visit, including IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, pages visited, referral source, and time spent on the site.

Cookies. I use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, record session information, and understand how visitors use the site. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, but some parts of the site may not work as intended if you do.

2. Google AdSense & Advertising Cookies

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. This may involve first-party and third-party cookies, tags, pixels, and similar technologies used to monitor interaction with ads and to target and optimize advertising shown to you.

When serving personalized ads, data collected via cookies may include:

• IP address
• Device and operating system type
• Browser type
• Approximate location
• Pages visited and browsing behavior on this site

Google’s advertising partners may combine this data with information collected elsewhere to build interest-based advertising profiles across sites, devices, and apps.

Your choices:

• Opt out of personalized ads via Google Ads Settings
• Learn more or opt out broadly via the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative
• On mobile, use AppChoices or your device’s ad-tracking controls

Rejecting cookies does not mean you’ll stop seeing ads — you’ll simply see non-personalized ones.

If you’re located in the European Economic Area, the UK, or Switzerland, you may be shown a consent banner asking for permission before any cookies related to ads personalization are set, in line with Google’s requirements for those regions.

3. Affiliate Disclosure

The Out Camp participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means I may earn a commission on qualifying purchases made through links on this site, at no additional cost to you.

As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Affiliate links are marked where possible. The Out Camp only recommend gear I’d genuinely suggest to someone camping, and commissions earned help support the cost of running this site.

4. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of the personal data I hold about you. To make a request, email contact@theoutcamp.com and I’ll respond as promptly as I can.

I do not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Children’s Privacy

This Service is not directed at anyone under the age of 18. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you’re a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to me, please contact me and I will delete it.

6. Security

I take reasonable steps to protect your personal information, but no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and I can’t guarantee absolute security.

7. External Links

This site contains links to other websites, including affiliate links to Amazon, and some informational sites. I’m not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites and encourage you to review their policies directly.

8. Compliance With Laws

I may disclose personal information where required to do so by law, subpoena, or other legal process.

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of those changes.

10. Consent

By using this website, you consent to this Privacy Policy.
