Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 4, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information WaspNestGuide (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects when you visit waspnestguide.com, how it is used, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little as possible and to be plain about what happens.
Who We Are
WaspNestGuide is an independent, US-focused resource that publishes educational guides about wasp, hornet, and yellowjacket nests. Our website address is https://waspnestguide.com. You can reach us at hello@waspnestguide.com with any privacy question.
Information We Collect
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not run public comments, so we do not collect names or profiles from visitors browsing the site. The information involved falls into two categories:
- Information you give us directly. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write, so we can reply. We use it only to respond and do not add you to any marketing list.
- Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our host and analytics tools record standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and the pages you view. This is used to understand traffic and improve the site.
Cookies and Analytics
We use analytics (Google Analytics 4, delivered through Google Tag Manager) to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate. These tools set cookies and process technical data as described above. Where required, we ask for your consent through a cookie banner.
You can control or block cookies through your browser settings or our cookie banner, and you can opt out of Google Analytics using Google’s opt-out browser add-on. Blocking cookies will not stop you from reading the site.
Affiliate Links
Some pages contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, the retailer or affiliate network may set cookies and record that the visit came from WaspNestGuide, so any commission is credited correctly. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies. For details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
Third-Party Services
Some data is necessarily handled by third parties that help run the site:
- our web host, which stores the site and keeps standard server logs;
- Google (Analytics and Tag Manager), for aggregate traffic measurement;
- affiliate networks and retailers, when you click an affiliate link.
Embedded content from other websites (for example, an embedded video) behaves as if you visited that other site directly, and those sites may collect data under their own policies.
How Long We Keep Data
Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to handle your question and any follow-up. Aggregate analytics data is retained according to the provider’s standard retention settings. We do not build visitor profiles or sell any data.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. Since we hold very little, you can exercise these rights simply by contacting us at hello@waspnestguide.com. We do not sell personal information.
Children
This site is intended for adult homeowners and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the site changes — for example, if we add an email newsletter later. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above.
