Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

• Email address — only if you subscribe to our newsletter. It is stored in our own subscriber database and with our email delivery provider (Kit, formerly ConvertKit).
• Anonymous usage data — page views and performance metrics via Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless and does not build visitor profiles.
• Anonymous click data — when you click an outbound link, we record which page the click came from, the destination domain, and your country (never your identity, precise location, or browsing history) so we can understand which content is useful.

How We Use Your Information

• To send you our newsletter (if subscribed) — you can unsubscribe with one click at any time
• To improve our website and decide what content to create
• To measure which recommendations readers find useful

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing.

Cookies & Affiliate Tracking

We keep our own use of cookies minimal. However, this site earns money through affiliate partnerships, and when you click an affiliate link — or interact with content served by our monetization partners — those partners may set cookies on your device to attribute any booking or purchase you make. Partners whose technology may set cookies on this site include Amazon Associates, Stay22 (hotel booking links), and Travelpayouts (travel booking links, including partners such as Booking.com, Trip.com, GetYourGuide, and DiscoverCars). Each partner's own privacy policy governs the data they collect.

Third-Party Services

• Cloudflare — hosting, CDN, and cookieless web analytics
• Kit (ConvertKit) — newsletter delivery
• Amazon Associates, Stay22, Travelpayouts — affiliate monetization (see above)
• Pexels — stock photography CDN

Your Rights

Depending on where you live (including under GDPR and CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. Since the only personal information we hold is a newsletter email address, the fastest path is: unsubscribe via the link in any email, or contact us and we will delete your address from our systems.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

We may update this policy as our tools change; the date above always reflects the latest revision.
