Last Updated: April 16, 2026

Thank you for visiting Dead Money Diaries (the “Website”), located at deadmoneydiaries.com.
This website is operated by Lucas and Lyndsay (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you may provide us while exploring our travel guides. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

Information We Collect

We may collect a few different types of information from you depending on how you interact with our website:

  • Information You Voluntarily Provide: If you leave a comment on a blog post, subscribe to a newsletter, or contact us directly, we collect the personal information you give us. This may include your name, email address, and website URL.

  • Automatically Collected Information: When you visit the Website, we automatically collect certain data about your device and how you interact with our content. This can include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates/times of your visits. We collect this using cookies and third-party analytics tools (like Google Analytics).

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve our website and travel guides.

  • Respond to your comments, questions, and emails.

  • Track and analyze website traffic so we can create more of the content you love.

  • Protect against unauthorized or illegal activity.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like almost every blog on the internet, Dead Money Diaries uses “cookies.” Cookies are small data files stored on your browser. We use them to remember your preferences, understand how you use our site, and improve your user experience.

You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. However, doing so may affect how certain parts of our site function.

Third-Party Links & Affiliate Disclosure

Our website contains links to other websites, including booking platforms, tour operators, and gear recommendations.

  • Affiliate Links: We participate in affiliate marketing programs (including but not limited to: Amazon Associates and Expedia Group). This means if you click on a link to a product or service and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These third-party sites use their own cookies to track your purchases.

  • External Sites: If you click on a link to a third-party website, you will be directed to that site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit, as we have no control over their practices.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display ads on our Website. Google may use cookies or web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our Website or other websites.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings. For more information, please review Google’s Privacy & Terms.

Sharing Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We only share data with trusted third-party service providers who help us run our website (such as our web host, email newsletter provider, and analytics tracking). These providers only have access to the information necessary to perform their functions.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal data from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is ever 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live (such as under the GDPR in Europe or CCPA in California), you may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, ask that your data be corrected or deleted, or opt out of future communications.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
