This privacy policy applies to the information collected by my travel blog, a personal website that shares my experiences, views, tips and resarch for traveling around UK, Europe and beyond. The policy covers how I collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information, as well as your rights and choices regarding your data.

I respect your privacy and I am committed to protecting it. I comply with the applicable laws and regulations regarding data protection, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

What information do I collect and how do I use it?

I collect two types of information from you: personal information and non-personal information.

Personal information is any information that can identify you as an individual, such as your name, email address, phone number, or location. I collect personal information from you when you voluntarily provide it to me, such as when you subscribe to my newsletter, leave a comment on my blog, contact me via email, or participate in a survey or contest. I use your personal information to communicate with you, provide you with the services you request, improve my website and content, and send you marketing and promotional materials that may interest you.

Non-personal information is any information that cannot identify you as an individual, such as your browser type, device type, operating system, IP address, or pages visited. I collect non-personal information from you automatically when you access my website, using cookies and other tracking technologies. I use your non-personal information to analyze the usage and performance of my website, customize your experience, and deliver relevant ads to you.

How do I share your information?

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third parties without your consent. However, I may share your information with the following categories of recipients:

- Service providers: I may share your information with third-party service providers that help me operate my website and provide services to you, such as hosting, analytics, email marketing, payment processing, and security.

- Affiliates and partners: I may share your information with third-party affiliates and partners that offer products or services that may interest you or that I collaborate with on my content. For example, I may share your information with travel agencies, airlines, hotels, or tour operators that I recommend on my blog.

- Legal authorities: I may share your information with law enforcement or other authorities if required by law or if necessary to protect my rights or property, or the rights or property of others.

How do I protect your information?

I take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so I cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. You are responsible for keeping your password and account details confidential and for notifying me of any suspected breach of security.

What are your rights and choices?

Depending on where you live and subject to the applicable laws and regulations, you may have certain rights and choices regarding your personal information. These may include:

- The right to access: You may have the right to request a copy of the personal information I hold about you.

- The right to rectification: You may have the right to request that I correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information about you.

- The right to erasure: You may have the right to request that I delete your personal information from my records.

- The right to restrict processing: You may have the right to request that I limit how I use or disclose your personal information.

- The right to data portability: You may have the right to request that I transfer your personal information to another service provider in a structured and machine-readable format.

- The right to object: You may have the right to object to my use of your personal information for certain purposes, such as direct marketing or profiling.

- The right to withdraw consent: You may have the right to withdraw your consent for any processing of your personal information that is based on your consent.

- The right to lodge a complaint: You may have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that I have violated your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights or choices, please contact me. Please note that some requests may require verification of your identity or additional information before they can be processed. I will respond to your requests within a reasonable time frame and in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
