Privacy Policy

This is a personal wildlife and landscape photography site, run by one person. It has no ads, no analytics, no tracking pixels, no newsletter, and no user accounts. I don’t collect, sell, rent, or share your personal information. There honestly isn’t much to tell — but here are the details.

Who runs this site

De Young Outdoors (deyoungoutdoors.com) is the personal photography site of Mark De Young. If you have a question about privacy, email me at [email protected].

If you email me

The Contact and Prints & Licensing pages work by email. If you write to me — including to arrange a print or to license an image — I use your email address and whatever you choose to share only to reply and to arrange what we discuss. I won’t add you to a mailing list, and I won’t pass your information to anyone else.

Cookies and tracking

This site sets no advertising or tracking cookies, and it uses no analytics tools such as Google Analytics. It loads no third-party tracking scripts, pixels, or social-media widgets. I have no interest in following you around the web, and I don’t.

Fonts and embedded content

The fonts on this site are served from its own server rather than loaded from Google or any other outside service, so simply viewing a page does not send your information to a third party. The site does not embed external widgets or trackers.

Hosting and the technical basics

The site is hosted by SiteGround and delivered through the Cloudflare content-delivery network. As with essentially every website, these providers automatically process some standard technical information — such as your IP address and browser type — to serve the site and protect it from abuse, and they may set limited security cookies for that purpose. This is ordinary server operation, it is not used to identify or profile you, and it is governed by SiteGround’s and Cloudflare’s own privacy policies.

The photographs

All images on this site are copyrighted. If you would like to use one, please see the Prints & Licensing page.

Your choices

Because the site itself doesn’t collect personal data, there’s nothing stored for me to export or delete. If you have emailed me and would like our correspondence deleted, just ask and I’ll take care of it.

Changes to this policy

If anything about how this site handles data changes, I’ll update this page. Last updated: May 22, 2026.
