At BackyardChickenPro.com, your privacy matters — and we’re not just saying that because it sounds nice. We’re regular folks too, and we don’t like shady business.
This page explains what we collect, how we use it, and how we keep it safe. Whether you’re here for coop tips or breed guides, you can trust that we’re not selling your info to the highest bidder.
📥 What We Collect
When you browse our site, we may collect:
- Basic visitor data like IP address, browser type, and pages visited (yep, the usual stuff via Google Analytics)
- Email address if you choose to subscribe to our newsletter or contact us
- Clicks on affiliate links, which may be tracked for commissions (see our Affiliate Disclaimer for details)
That’s it. No creepy tracking. No weird data selling.
🍪 Cookies (Not the Chocolate Chip Kind)
We use cookies — small bits of data stored on your browser — to make the site work smoother and see what’s helpful to you.
You can turn off cookies in your browser settings if you’d rather not be tracked at all (but some parts of the site might act a little funky without them).

We use your info to:
- Improve our content

We never sell your data to anyone. Ever.
🛡️ How We Protect It
Your data is protected using secure, up-to-date tech — and we only collect what’s absolutely needed. We treat your info the way we’d want ours handled.
🔗 Third-Party Services
We sometimes link out to trusted websites or tools — especially when we talk about products, these sites have their own privacy policies, so be sure to check theirs out too.
We also use:
- Google Analytics for traffic data
- Email providers to send newsletters
- Affiliate partners like Amazon (see below)
💸 Amazon Affiliate Notice
