Welcome to The 104 Homestead. I take your privacy seriously and believe you deserve to know exactly how your information is collected, used, and protected. This policy explains what data I collect, how it’s used, and the steps I take to keep it safe so you can browse, subscribe, and shop with confidence.

By using this site, you agree to the terms of this policy.

What This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy applies to https://104homestead.com and all related content, products, and services offered by The 104 Homestead (referred to here as “the Site”).

What Information I Collect

I collect a few different types of information, depending on how you interact with the site. Here’s what that includes.

Personal Identification Information

I may collect personal information when you:

  • Subscribe to the newsletter
  • Place an order
  • Fill out a form (for a freebie or contact request)
  • Comment on a post or send a message

This may include your name, email address, mailing address, or payment details (when necessary). You can always choose not to share this information, though it may limit access to certain content or features.

Non-Personal Identification Information

I may also collect non-personal information such as:

  • Your browser type or device
  • How you interact with the site (pages visited, time spent, etc.)
  • Referring websites or search terms

This information helps me understand how people use the site so I can make it more helpful and user-friendly.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Like most websites, The 104 Homestead uses cookies to improve your experience. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help the site remember your preferences and understand how visitors interact with content.

  • Respond to comments, emails, or questions
  • Process purchases and deliver digital products
  • Send periodic emails (like newsletters or order updates)
  • Provide customer support
  • Track engagement and performance (through tools like Google Analytics)

You’ll only receive marketing emails if you choose to subscribe, and you can unsubscribe anytime by clicking the link at the bottom of any email.

This site uses affiliate links (including Amazon Services LLC Associates Program), which means I may earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you) if you make a purchase through certain links.

How Your Information Is Protected

I take data security seriously and use appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

All payment transactions are processed securely through trusted third-party services (such as Etsy or PayPal). I never store or see your full credit card information.

Sharing Your Information

I never sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

I may share limited data with trusted third-party service providers who help operate the site (for example, email or payment processors). These partners only receive the information necessary to perform their specific tasks and are required to keep it secure and confidential.

Third-Party Links & Content

Some blog posts, advertisements, or links on this site lead to other websites. Once you leave The 104 Homestead, I can’t control how those third parties collect or use your data. Please review their privacy policies if you’re concerned.

The 104 Homestead is not intended for children under 13 years old. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If I learn that information has been provided by a child without parental consent, it will be deleted promptly.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal information
  • Opt out of data processing or marketing emails
  • Request a copy of the data I have about you
