Privacy policy

Van Life UK publishes the guides on yourvanlife.xyz. For questions about information you provide to this site, contact hello@yourvanlife.xyz. We use information to operate the site, respond to requests and improve its content.

Reading guides and optional analytics

You can read our guides without joining the waiting list or creating a community account. Cloudflare hosts the site and processes technical information, including network requests, to deliver and protect it.

If optional analytics is configured and you allow it, we send pageviews and selected actions to Plausible. Actions include a guide search, an Amazon link click or a successful waiting-list signup. We send limited information such as the page path, result count, category or link placement. We do not include search terms, email addresses, community account details, URL query parameters or fragments in analytics events.

Analytics requests reach Plausible directly from your browser. Plausible describes how it derives aggregate reports from request information, including IP addresses and browser information, in its data policy. Our integration does not use analytics cookies or a third-party tracking script. Use Privacy preferences in the footer to allow or reject future analytics requests.

Updates waiting list

If you submit an updates form, we store your email address in our Cloudflare database for the waiting list. A newsletter delivery provider is not connected and regular newsletter emails are not being sent. Joining does not promise an immediate welcome email or a downloadable gift.

The email address remains on the waiting list until it is removed. To request removal, email hello@yourvanlife.xyz from the address you submitted. We will update this information before introducing a regular newsletter or changing how this list is used.

Community accounts and contributions

If you register for the community, the site stores your email address, username and a hashed password in its Cloudflare database. Your username and any posts, comments or votes are associated with your account. Posts and comments may be visible to other visitors; avoid including private information in them.

Sign-in information is kept in this browser’s local storage until you sign out or clear it. Signing out does not delete your account or public contributions. Contact us to request correction or deletion of account information.

Amazon links and other websites

We participate in Amazon Associates and may earn a commission from qualifying purchases. Following a retailer link takes you to its website, where its own privacy and cookie policies apply. Our site does not receive your Amazon account or payment details. See our affiliate disclosure.

Advertising

Some pages that carry no product recommendations may show advertising supplied by Google AdSense. Advertising is loaded only after you accept optional cookies, and it is never shown on pages where we recommend specific products, so an advert cannot take the click that funds the guide.

When advertising is active, Google may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads, and may receive your IP address, approximate location and the page you are viewing. Google describes this in its advertising technologies policy. You can manage personalised advertising in Google My Ad Center, and reject advertising cookies here using Privacy preferences in the footer.

Your choices and requests

You can change analytics preferences, clear this site’s browser storage, leave the waiting list or contact us about information you supplied. Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection rights include requesting access, correction or deletion, objecting to processing, restricting processing and requesting portability. We may need enough information to verify a request.

Contact hello@yourvanlife.xyz for a privacy request. You can also raise a concern with the Information Commissioner’s Office. Read cookies and browser storage for the settings stored on your device.
