Protecting Your Privacy on the Digital Frontier.

Privacy Policy

Even off-grid, privacy matters. This page explains how The Digital Nomad Guy collects, uses, and protects your information — whether you’re browsing stories, subscribing to the signal, or buying digital gear from the shop. Transparency is part of the code.

Personal Information

  • Name, email address, shipping and billing address, phone number (when provided).
  • Payment details processed securely through third-party gateways (we do not store your credit card information).
  • Account login information (if you create an account).

  • Respond to messages, comments, and inquiries.
  • Improve our website performance and user experience.
  • Protect against unauthorized access or fraud.

We never sell or rent your personal data.

3. E-Commerce & Payments

When you make a purchase through WooCommerce, your personal information is used to process orders, manage shipping, and provide customer support.

Payment transactions are handled by trusted third-party processors such as Stripe, PayPal, or WooCommerce Payments, which comply with PCI-DSS security standards.

We do not store or have access to your full payment details.
Review your payment provider’s privacy policy for more information on how they handle your data.

4. User Accounts

When you create an account, we store your basic information — name, email, and order history — to make checkout faster and allow you to manage downloads or purchases.

You can request account deletion at any time by contacting us. We may retain certain order information as required by law.

5. Data Retention

We keep order and transaction data for up to 7 years for tax, legal, and record-keeping purposes.
Non-personal browsing and analytics data may be retained longer to help improve our website.

6. Analytics & Tracking

We use tools like Google Analytics, Plausible, or Fathom to track anonymous traffic data. These services collect non-identifying information such as page views, referring sites, and time spent on pages.

You can disable cookies in your browser or opt out of Google Analytics tracking by visiting tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

7. Email Marketing & Newsletters

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we’ll use your email to send updates, stories, and digital resources related to vanlife, off-grid living, AI tools, and the digital nomad lifestyle.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails or by contacting us directly.

8. Affiliate Links & Sponsorships

Some of our pages include affiliate links to products or services we personally use and recommend.
If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.

We only share products that align with our values of freedom, sustainability, and digital independence.

9. International Data Transfers

If you are visiting this website from outside the United States, your data may be transferred to and stored on servers in the U.S. or other locations. We take reasonable steps to ensure your data remains protected under applicable privacy standards.

10. Data Security

We implement secure technologies such as SSL encryption, firewalls, and access controls to keep your information safe.
While no online system is 100% invincible, we take every precaution to minimize risks of unauthorized access or misuse.

11. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request corrections or deletion of your information.
  • Withdraw consent for email marketing or analytics.
