Privacy Policy
The Nightly Rate is a vacation rental news site designed to collect as little personal data as possible. You do not need an account to read the site and we collect personal data only when you choose to give it to us, such as subscribing to our newsletter.
What we collect
- Newsletter email. If you subscribe, we store your email address solely to send the newsletter you asked for. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email, which removes your address.
- Aggregate analytics. We record anonymous page views, referrers and rough geography (country level) so we know which coverage is useful. We do not fingerprint devices and we do not build reader profiles.
- Server logs. Standard web server logs (IP, user-agent, request path, timestamp) are retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention, then discarded.
What we do not collect
- We do not collect email addresses from readers who do not subscribe, and we never require an account to read an article.
- We do not sell, rent or share reader data with third parties.
- We do not run third-party advertising trackers or retargeting pixels.
- We do not require an account to read any article.
Cookies
The site uses only strictly necessary cookies for basic functions such as remembering your search input across a session. There are no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Your rights
If you are in the EU, UK or California, applicable law gives you rights of access, correction and erasure over any personal data we hold. Because we do not maintain reader accounts, in practice the only records tied to you are transient server logs, which age out automatically.
Changes
We update this page when our practices change. Material changes are flagged at the top of the page for at least 30 days.
