Privacy Policy
Who We Are: We operate a travel affiliate website that helps you find deals on hotels, flights, and car rentals. Our site provides links to partner services like Hotellook, Aviasales, and GetRentACar. We are not a hotel or airline ourselves, and we do not book travel for you directly. We do not require or maintain user accounts ā there is no login or registration system on this site.
Information We Collect
We only collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us. Specifically:
-
Contact form data: Name, email address, and any message or inquiry content you submit to us. We use this information solely to respond to your requests.
-
Non-Personal Usage Data: We do not collect personal travel preferences or financial data. However, third-party analytics tools (described below) automatically gather technical information (e.g. pages visited, time on site, browser/device type, and your IP address) to help us understand site traffic and performance. This technical data is not linked to your name or email.
We do not collect or store payment information, government IDs, or any sensitive personal data on our site.
How We Use Your Data
-
Responding to Inquiries: When you submit a contact form, we use your name and email to reply to your message. We only use your contact data for that purpose and do not send unsolicited marketing emails.
-
Improving Our Website: Aggregate usage data from analytics (see below) helps us improve site design, fix bugs, and create better content. We do not use your personal information for profiling or advertising.
-
Legal Compliance and Safety: We may use minimal data to comply with laws or protect our rights (for example, to prevent abuse of our contact form). But we do not sell or rent your personal data to anyone.
No User Accounts or Logins
Our site does not support user accounts, memberships, or logins. You can use all site features (searching and following affiliate links) without registering or providing a password. Since there are no accounts, we do not collect or store any account-related personal data (no usernames, passwords, payment details, etc.).
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We do not set cookies ourselves. However, we use third-party tools that employ cookies for analytics and performance. For example, Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) uses first-party cookies to measure how visitors interact with our pages. Jetpack (an Automattic plugin) also uses cookies for site functionality and traffic stats. These cookies help us see how many people visit, which pages are popular, and improve loading speed.
Affiliate links (to Hotellook, Aviasales, GetRentACar) often use cookies as well. When you click an affiliate link, a cookie may be placed in your browser to track whether you make a purchase. We disclose that if you later buy via those links, we may earn a commission (see below). You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but note that some site features may not function properly if cookies are blocked.
Analytics and Performance
To improve our site, we use Google Analytics and Jetpack Stats. Under Googleās policy, we disclose that we use Google Analytics and describe how it processes data. Google Analytics collects only aggregate usage data (page views, browser type, general location, etc.) via cookies and explicitly prohibits sending any Personally Identifiable Information to Google. In other words, no contact-form data or personal identifiers are ever sent to Google Analytics. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using Googleās opt-out browser add-on or by disabling cookies.
We also use Jetpack Stats (a feature of Automatticās Jetpack plugin) for site metrics and performance monitoring. Jetpackās analytics anonymize data so that no individual user is identified. For instance, Jetpack separates behavioral data from specific individuals. Site visitors can choose to opt out of Jetpackās analytics if they wish (see Jetpackās privacy settings). Jetpack uses cookies to provide core features of our site, but this is also mainly for performance and traffic counting, not personal profiling.
Affiliate Programs and Links
Our site contains affiliate links to partner services (Hotellook, Aviasales, GetRentACar) through an affiliate network. When you click one of these links and book or purchase a service, we may earn a commission from the partner at no extra cost to you. For example, if you click an affiliate link on our site and later complete a booking, the affiliate cookie tracks the sale and pays us a commission. We believe in transparency: we do earn fees for successful referrals. You will never be charged more because you used our link.
We disclose our affiliate relationships clearly. In compliance with guidelines, our Privacy Policy notes that we receive commissions and that affiliate cookies may be set. If you prefer not to use affiliate links, you can search for the partnerās website directly or clear your cookies before clicking. Either way, we only recommend services we trust; using our links helps keep this free website running.
Third-Party Services
Our site integrates third-party services for functionality and analytics. These include:
-
Google: Through Google Site Kit, we use Google Analytics (traffic statistics) and may use other Google tools (e.g. Search Console). Googleās privacy policy and terms govern how it handles data. We encourage you to review Googleās policies.
-
Automattic (Jetpack): Jetpack is a plugin by Automattic that provides site stats and performance features. Automatticās privacy policy (via WordPress.com) applies to data Jetpack processes. Jetpackās tools anonymize data and respect āDo Not Trackā settings.
-
Affiliate Networks: We work with the Travelpayouts/Aviasales affiliate platform and related partners. Their cookie tracking is used only for referral attribution. We do not share your personal contact details with these affiliates ā only the fact that an affiliate link was clicked.
None of these third parties have access to the content of your messages or your personal identifiers (except that Google Analytics and Jetpack do see anonymized traffic data as noted above). We do not endorse any ads or use targeted advertising; our only advertising is via affiliate links. We do not link your personal data (name/email) to any third-party account.
Data Security and Retention
We take reasonable measures to protect your data. Your contact form information is stored securely and only used to answer your inquiry. After responding, we may retain minimal records for a short period for customer service purposes, then delete them when no longer needed. Our servers and service providers use encryption and security best practices to protect data. However, no system is perfect; if you have concerns, please email us or use the contact form.
We will not sell or rent your personal information. We will only share data as described (with our hosting provider or as required by law).
Your Choices and Rights
Since we only collect data you voluntarily provide, you can choose what to share. You can edit or delete your message by contacting us again. You can also clear cookies or use browser privacy tools to opt out of Google Analytics and Jetpack tracking.
Contact Us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or want to request information or correction of your data, please contact us via the contact form. We will endeavor to answer all reasonable requests.
Summary: We collect minimal personal data (just name, email, message from our contact form) and use it only to respond to you. We have no login system or stored user profiles. We use Google Analytics and Jetpack for anonymous traffic stats. We participate in affiliate programs (earning commissions on referred sales) and disclose that fact. We do not sell your personal information, and we follow standard practices to keep data secure.
