Privacy Policy
We respect your privacy. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Last updated: May 16, 2026
Who we are
This website is operated by Tom Valdez for Grandpa's Backyard Adventures (“we,” “us,” or “our”). Our site is at grandpasbackyardadventures.com.
Information we collect
This is a mostly static website. We do not ask you to create an account or run a newsletter signup on the site itself.
You may share information with us when you:
- Send us an email (for example, at tom@grandpasbackyardadventures.com). Your message, email address, and any details you include are used only to respond to you.
- Click links to third-party services (such as Amazon, Gumroad, or YouTube). Those sites have their own privacy policies and may collect data according to their terms.
Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log technical data when you visit (for example, IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and approximate time of access). We use this only to keep the site secure and running reliably, not to build marketing profiles.
Cookies and similar technologies
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies on this site. If we add analytics or embedded content in the future, we will update this policy and describe what is used and why.
Your browser may store small amounts of data (such as cache) to load pages faster. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Children’s privacy
Our books are written for families and young children, but this website is intended for parents, caregivers, and other adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the site.
If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us at tom@grandpasbackyardadventures.com and we will delete it promptly.
How we use your information
We use information we receive only to:
- Reply to your questions or requests
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website
- Protect the site from abuse or technical problems
We do not sell your personal information.
Sharing with others
We do not share your personal information with third parties for their marketing. We may share information only when required by law, to protect our rights, or with service providers who help run the website (such as hosting) under confidentiality obligations.
Links to other sites
Pages on this site may link to Amazon, Gumroad, YouTube, and other external websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review their policies before providing any personal information.
Your choices
You may ask us what information we have about you from email correspondence and request correction or deletion, subject to any legal records we must keep. Contact us at tom@grandpasbackyardadventures.com.
Changes to this policy
We may update this page from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised policy.
