Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

Effective Date: March 2026

At Hay & Herd, we value your privacy and are committed to transparency regarding the data we collect.

In accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their personal information to third parties.

1. Does Hay & Herd “Sell” Data?

Hay & Herd does not sell your personal information (such as your name or email address) to third parties for money. We are a homesteading resource, not a data broker.

2. What is “Sharing” for Targeted Advertising?

Under California law, “sharing” includes the use of third-party cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising. Because we use Google AdSense and Google Analytics, some identifiers (like your IP address or browser behavior) are shared with these platforms to:

• Show you relevant ads (e.g., goat fencing or gardening tools).
• Analyze site traffic to improve our homesteading guides.

3. How to Exercise Your Right to Opt-Out

If you wish to opt-out of the “sharing” of your information for personalized advertising, you can do so through the following methods:

• Browser Settings: You can set your browser to block third-party cookies or send a “Do Not Track” signal.
• Google Ad Settings: You can opt-out of Google’s personalized ads by visiting the Google Ads Settings page.
• Global Privacy Control (GPC): We recognize GPC signals. If your browser is set to broadcast a GPC signal, our site will automatically respect your choice to opt-out of sharing.
• Contact Us: If you would like to make a formal request to delete or access your data, please email us at contact@hayandherd.com.

4. No Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights. Even if you opt-out, you will still have full access to our guides on Pygmy goats, organic gardening, and homesteading recipes.
