Plain words, no fine print

Privacy

What this website collects, why it collects it, and who else handles it.

Last updated 12 September 2026

What you type into the form

If you send us a question, the form collects what you type: your name, your email address, the dates you have in mind, and your message. Formspree, a form service, delivers it to our email. We use it to answer you, and we do not sell it, rent it, or hand it to anyone for their own use.

Booking

This site does not take bookings or payments. The booking buttons take you to Airbnb or Vrbo, and their own privacy rules apply once you are there.

What the site counts

We use Google Analytics to see how the site is used: which pages get read, how people found us, the kind of device, and a rough location such as the town. Google Analytics does this with cookies. It also counts when somebody taps our email address, clicks through to Airbnb or Vrbo, or sends the form. It records that it happened, never what you wrote.

Google explains what it does with that information here: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. To stop Google Analytics counting your visits on any website, block cookies in your browser or install Google’s Analytics opt out add on.

Who else handles it

Cloudflare hosts the site. Like any web host, it keeps short technical records of visits, such as the internet address a request came from, to keep the site running and safe. Formspree delivers form messages to our email. Google Analytics counts visits, as described above.

How long it is kept

A message you send stays in our email as a record. Google Analytics deletes its visit records after a set period.

Children

This site is not aimed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Questions, a copy, or deleting it

Write to stay@sharonspringsvista.com. Ask, and we will tell you what we hold about you and remove anything we are not required to keep. If this page changes, the date at the top changes with it.
