Northern Hideaway Stays is a registered assumed name (DBA) of Manistee Property Management LLC, a Michigan limited liability company. This Privacy Policy explains how we ("we," "us," or "our") collect and use information when you visit northernhideawaystays.com or contact us about a vacation home or property management. We keep this short and readable on purpose. If anything here is unclear, contact us and we will explain it.
Information you give us
When you submit an inquiry or email us, we collect the details you choose to share. That typically includes your name, email address, phone number, travel dates, group size, and anything you tell us about the stay or property you are interested in. We use this information only to respond to you, help plan a stay, or discuss managing your property.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we collect basic technical and usage information automatically through analytics tools. This may include your device type, browser, general location at the city or region level, pages you view, and how you arrived at the site. We use it to understand what is useful and to improve the site. We do not use it to identify you personally.
Google Tag Manager
This site uses Google Tag Manager to load and manage measurement tags. Google Tag Manager itself does not collect personal information; it is the container that loads the tools described below.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to measure how visitors use the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to gather usage data in aggregate. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console to monitor how the site performs in Google Search. Search Console reports on search performance and site health. It does not place cookies or tracking code on this site and does not collect information about you as a visitor.
Future measurement tools
As traffic grows, we may add additional analytics or usability tools, such as a heatmap or session tool like Crazy Egg, to better understand how the site is used. If we add tools that collect additional information, we will update this policy to describe them, and where required we will provide the appropriate notice or consent options.
Cookies
The analytics tools above use cookies and similar technologies to function. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how some parts of the site work.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to operate, for example with the service providers that host the site or process analytics, with property owners or booking platforms when it is necessary to arrange or manage a stay, or when required by law. Booking and payment, when handled on a third party platform, are governed by that platform's own privacy policy.
Data retention
We keep inquiry and contact information for as long as needed to respond to you and to keep reasonable business records, then we remove it when it is no longer needed.
Your choices
You can ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. To make a request, email us using the contact details below. You can also opt out of analytics as described above and control cookies in your browser.
Children
This site is intended for adults planning travel or property management. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top. Significant changes will be reflected here on this page.
