PrivacyPolicy
No accounts, no forms, no ad networks. Here is exactly what is collected and what is not.
Last updated: 20 October 2026
The short version
This is a static visitor guide. There are no accounts, no logins, no comment forms and no shopping cart. The only personal data that reaches us is what you choose to email, plus anonymous traffic statistics.
Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are useful. IP addresses are anonymised. We look at aggregate data — page views, referrers, device type, approximate location by region — never at individual visitors, and we do not attempt to identify anyone.
Analytics cookies are set by Google, not by this site. You can block them with any content blocker, and the site works exactly the same without them.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies of its own. Third-party cookies may be set by Google Analytics and, if you arrive from an advertising campaign, by the platform that sent you.
Sponsored banner
The Places to Stay page carries one sponsored banner from Expedia Group. It is an iframe served by creator.expediagroup.com, and it only loads if you scroll far enough down the page to reach it. That frame is operated by Expedia Group, may set its own cookies, and is governed by their privacy policy rather than ours. We receive aggregate commission reports; we do not receive your personal details.
You can block it with any content blocker — the page works identically without it.
Outbound links
Some pages link to other websites — the ferry operator, VRBO for rental searches, Google Maps for directions, the Town of Dauphin Island. Once you follow one of those links, that site's privacy policy applies, not this one. We do not pass any information about you to them.
If you email us
Emails sent to hello@dauphinislandguide.com are kept so that corrections can be tracked and repeated. They are not added to a mailing list, not sold, and not shared. Ask and they will be deleted.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or share data about visitors.
- We do not run advertising networks on this site.
- We do not track you across other websites.
- We do not knowingly collect information from children.
