On the Go in MCO (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is an Orlando travel and lifestyle blog run by Shelley Caran at https://www.onthegoinmco.com. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information you give us
- Contact form: when you send a message, we collect your name, email address, topic, subject and message so we can reply to you.
- Comments: when you leave a comment, we collect the name, email address and website you enter, your comment, and your IP address and browser information to help detect spam. Your email address is never published.
- Newsletter sign-up: if you subscribe, we collect your email address (and name, if provided) to send you updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our site and our hosting provider automatically collect standard information such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring page, pages visited and the date and time of your visit. We use this to keep the site secure, fix problems and understand which content readers find useful.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. We and our partners use cookies to remember your preferences (for example, your name and email for future comments), measure site traffic, and deliver and measure advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as expected.
Analytics
We use analytics services, such as Google Analytics and the statistics provided by our web host, to understand how visitors use the site. These services may use cookies and collect information about your visit. You can learn how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising
We work with, or may work with, third-party advertising partners to display ads on this site. These partners and their vendors may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to show ads that may interest you and to measure how ads perform. This information does not include your name or contact details unless you provide them.
You can learn more about interest-based advertising and opt out at optout.aboutads.info and networkadvertising.org/choices. If our advertising partner provides additional disclosures, we will add them to this page.
Affiliate links and sponsored content
Some posts contain affiliate links, such as links to travel booking partners. If you make a purchase through one of these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Sponsored posts and hosted media experiences are disclosed within the post. Our opinions are always our own.
Embedded content and third-party links
Posts may include embedded content (such as videos or social media posts) and links to other websites. Embedded content behaves the same as if you visited the other website, and those sites may collect data about you under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of other websites.
How we use your information
- To reply to your messages and comments
- To send newsletters you have requested
- To operate, secure and improve the site

We do not sell your contact information. We share information only with service providers who help us run the site (such as our web host, email, analytics and advertising partners), or when required by law.
How long we keep your information
Comments and their related information are kept indefinitely so they can stay published. Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and for our records. Newsletter information is kept until you unsubscribe.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising.
