How Eco Friendly Travel Guides collects, uses and shares data on ecofriendlytravelguides.com, including cookies, advertising partners and your rights.
This policy explains what Eco Friendly Travel Guides (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit ecofriendlytravelguides.com, why we collect it, who else receives it, and the choices you have. We are the data controller for the processing described here.
We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for personal information to let you read the site. In normal use we collect:
Where the law requires a legal basis, ours is legitimate interest for operating and improving the site, consent for non-essential cookies and personalised advertising, and legal obligation where we must retain records.
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We and our partners use them to remember preferences, measure traffic, and select and measure advertising. Similar technologies — local storage, pixels and SDK identifiers — are used for the same purposes and are covered by this policy.
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings, and most browsers let you refuse third-party cookies specifically. Blocking them will not stop you reading the site, but parts of it may behave less well and the advertising you see will be less relevant rather than absent.
This site carries third-party advertising, including content-recommendation widgets that suggest further articles and sponsored items. Those partners set their own cookies and identifiers, and they receive your IP address, user-agent and the page you are on so they can select, cap and measure what they show you. They act as independent controllers for that processing under their own policies.
Our recommendation partner is Taboola. You can read how Taboola uses data, and opt out of personalised recommendations from it, at taboola.com/policies/privacy-policy.
For industry-wide controls, see optout.aboutads.info (DAA), youronlinechoices.com (EU) and optout.networkadvertising.org (NAI). Most mobile systems also offer a “limit ad tracking” setting that we and our partners honour.
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share the technical data described above with:
Some of these partners operate outside your country, including in the United States. Where personal data is transferred internationally, our partners rely on the safeguards described in their own privacy notices.
Depending on where you live you may have the right to ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict how we use it, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your data protection authority.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the GDPR applies. If you are a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you the right to know, to delete, to correct, and to opt out of “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising — we do not sell personal information as that term is defined.
To exercise any of these, use our contact form and choose “Privacy or data request”. We will verify your request and respond within the period the applicable law allows. There is no charge unless a request is manifestly excessive.
Server logs are retained for up to 12 months and then deleted or anonymised. Aggregated analytics, which cannot identify you, are kept indefinitely. Correspondence you send us is kept for as long as needed to deal with the matter and any follow-up, normally no more than 24 months. Our advertising partners apply their own retention periods.
This site is written for adults and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, tell us through our contact form and we will delete it.
We update this policy when our practices or the law change. The date at the top of the page always reflects the current version, and material changes will be noted on the site.
