01

Information We Collect

We keep the information we collect to a minimum:

  • Information you give us: if you email us, we receive your email address, your name (if you include it) and the content of your message.
  • Log information: like most websites, our hosting server automatically records standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited and the date and time of your visit.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored on your device, described in the sections below.

We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information.

02

  • To understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve our guides.
  • To reply to messages and requests you send us.
  • To show advertisements, including personalised advertisements where permitted by law and by your choices.
  • To detect, prevent and deal with spam, abuse, security issues and technical problems.
  • To comply with legal obligations.
03

Cookies and Web Beacons

Cookies help a website remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, and help us and our partners understand how the Website is used. Web beacons (small pixel images or scripts) may be used together with cookies to measure visits and advertising performance.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you do, some parts of the Website may not work as intended, and the advertisements you see may be less relevant to you.

05

Third-Party Advertising Partners

Advertising partners may use cookies, JavaScript or web beacons in the ads that appear on the Website. These technologies send information directly to their own servers, which allows them to measure how effective their ads are and to personalise the advertising content you see.

We do not have access to or control over cookies used by third-party advertisers. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read.

06

Analytics

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors find and use the Website (for example, which pages are visited most often). These tools may use cookies and collect information such as your device, browser and approximate location. The information is used in aggregated form to improve our content.

08

Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information only:

  • With service providers that help us run the Website (such as hosting, security and advertising partners), under their own privacy obligations.
  • When required by law, a court order or a valid request from authorities.
  • To protect the rights, safety and security of our visitors, the Website or others.
09

Data Retention and Security

We keep information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Emails are kept for as long as needed to handle your request.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures, including a secure (HTTPS) connection, to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage over the Internet is completely secure.

10

Your Privacy Rights (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Where consent is required for cookies or personalised ads, we will ask for it before those cookies are used.

11

Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. We do not sell personal information. To use your rights, email us; we will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

12

Children’s Privacy

The Website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
