Privacy Policy
At Outside My Nest, your privacy matters to us just as much as your curb appeal. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit outsidemynest.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. Outside My Nest is a home and outdoor-living blog and exterior design resource run by Jessica, an exterior designer based in New York.
Information We Collect
We keep data collection to what we actually need to run the site and help you plan your space:
Information you give us. When you subscribe to our newsletter or reach out through our contact or design-consultation forms, we collect the name and email address you provide, plus any project details you choose to share.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools log standard technical data such as your IP address, browser and device type, referring page, and which articles you view. This helps us see which outdoor topics are most useful and keep the site running smoothly.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, and we never sell your personal data.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use them to remember your preferences, measure traffic, and — where you have consented — show you relevant advertising. You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.
Advertising
Outside My Nest is free to read because it is supported by advertising, which we serve through Ezoic and Google. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info. Where required, we use a consent management platform to request your consent before non-essential cookies are set.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) to understand how visitors find and use the site. These tools collect anonymized usage data that helps us improve our guides and design content.
Affiliate Links
Some of our posts contain affiliate links, including links to Amazon. For the full details, please see our Affiliate Disclosure.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your data. We share limited information only with the service providers that help us run Outside My Nest — such as our email/newsletter platform, Google (analytics and advertising), and our advertising partner Ezoic — and only as needed to provide those services.
Your Rights and Choices
You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email, ask us for a copy or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and opt out of personalized ads using the links above. If you are in the EU/UK or California, you have additional rights under the GDPR and CCPA, which we honor — just get in touch.
Children’s Privacy
Outside My Nest is intended for adults planning and enjoying their homes and outdoor spaces. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the site grows or as laws change. The date shown on this page always reflects the current version.
