RanchWeb
Privacy Policy
Last updated 25 September 2026
This describes what we collect when you use RanchWeb, why we collect it, and what you can ask us to do with it. It is written from what the site actually does rather than from a template, so if something here is unclear it is worth telling us.
What we collect, and when
Most of what we hold is information you type in. We also use Google Tag Manager to measure how people arrive through our Google Ads and what they do on the site, which is described under “Advertising measurement” below.
| When you | We record | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Join the newsletter | Your name, email address, whether you ticked the consent box, and the date and time you did | To send you The Ranch Roundup, and to be able to show you agreed to receive it |
| Enquire about a ranch or check availability | Your name, email, phone if given, travel dates, party size and your message | To pass your enquiry to the ranch so they can reply to you directly |
| Comment on an article | The name you give and what you wrote | To show the comment |
| Create an account or a ranch listing | Your email, name and the details you add to your listing | To sign you in and run your listing |
| Click through to a ranch’s own website | That a click happened, and which ranch | So ranches can see how much traffic we send them. Not tied to you |
Who else sees it
Your enquiry goes to the ranch you asked about. That is the point of sending it, and once it reaches them their own privacy practices apply.
Beyond that, we use a small number of companies to run the site:
- Supabase stores the database and handles sign-in.
- Vercel hosts the website.
- Stripe handles payments on Luxury Ranch Real Estate. Card details are entered on Stripe’s own page and never reach us.
- Mailchimp sends the newsletter.
- YouTube and Vimeo host ranch videos. A video only loads when you click play, so nothing is sent to them if you do not watch one.
- Google Drive holds a copy of our own articles. It contains no visitor information.
- Google provides Google Tag Manager and Google Ads, which we use to measure our advertising. See “Advertising measurement” below.
We do not sell your information. The only sharing for advertising purposes is the Google Ads measurement described below.
Advertising measurement
We advertise RanchWeb through Google Ads and use Google Tag Manager to tell which ads bring visitors and whether they go on to enquire. Google may set cookies and receive information such as the pages you visit, your device and browser, and the ad you came from. Google’s own privacy policy applies to that information.
If you are in the UK, the European Economic Area or Switzerland, these advertising and analytics cookies are switched off by default, and Google Tag Manager runs without them. Elsewhere you can turn off personalised advertising at adssettings.google.com, or block these cookies in your browser settings.
Cookies and what is stored in your browser
Apart from the Google advertising cookies described above, we do not use tracking cookies. The site stores a few things in your own browser: whether you have already seen the newsletter pop-up, so it does not reappear on every page, and a sign-in token if you have an account. Clearing your browser data removes them.
How long we keep it
Newsletter subscribers stay on the list until they unsubscribe. Enquiries are kept while they are useful to the ranch and to us. Account and listing information is kept while the account is open. If you want something removed sooner, ask and we will remove it.
Your choices
Wherever you are, you can ask us to show you what we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or send it to you in a usable form. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link in any issue, or by emailing us.
If you are in the UK or the EU, our basis for emailing you is your consent, which is why the form asks for it and records when you gave it. You can withdraw that at any time, and it does not affect anything we did before you withdrew it.
Email hello@ranchweb.com and we will deal with it.
Children
RanchWeb is for adults planning travel. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us something, tell us and we will delete it.
Where your information is held
RanchWeb is based in California, and our suppliers store data in the United States. If you are writing to us from elsewhere, your information will be handled there.
Changes
If we change how any of this works, we will update this page and change the date at the top.
