Empty Nest RV Life is a blog about our Full-Time RV life, not a multi-national corporation. The data that is collected on our website is automatically done by a mailing service. The only time we have your personal data (name and email address) is when you manually entered it into our website. We collect your information or data for monetary gain. The only reason our website takes any data at all is to keep you up to date with our blog post with our newsletter.
We will not use any of the data collected from you (name and email) incorrectly or sell it to any social media platform (Facebook, Instagram). We only use the data you give us freely and are not trying to get any information from you that does not help us serve you better.
Our website (like all websites online today) will store cookies in your browser. These cookies are there to help your user experience.
We may collect the following information:
name and blog URL
email address (Only with your consent)
Google Analytics tracking data (anonymous data that we use to see how many people visit our site)
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Contact forms
When you enter your email to contact us, we are automatically given your email so that we can reply. We will not use the email to send you any promotional emails, only to reply to whatever questions you have, and we will not send more emails unless our email conversation continues. We use a plugin to embed our contact form, which tells us the email you entered so that we can reply.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to track the visitors on this site so that we know how many people we have visiting our blog.
Email Newsletters

If you do choose to enter this information, we will send you an email including whatever special offer you requested. We NEVER share your email with anyone, and you can unsubscribe from all of our emails at any time.
What we do with the information we gather

Internal record keeping.
We may use the information to improve our services.
From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research purposes. This is just so that we can better provide you with the best RVing advice and products.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
If you’ve entered your email to receive our newsletter or a free product (i.e., our free eBooks), then we will keep that data until you unsubscribe from our lists, or until we feel that we’re not serving you anymore. If you have not expressed interest in our emails for 90 days or more, we may delete your information entirely from our email servers.
Where we send your data
We do not send your data to any third-party or sell your data, however, when you leave a comment, it may be checked through an automated spam detection service called Askimet.

Also, if you have entered your email to our site, we may use your email address to also send you offers and information on Facebook, Instagram, and the Facebook ads network.
