What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

By using the contact form available on this website, you agree that your name, email address and message will be sent to us. This info will be used solely for this purpose, without including you in any newsletter or sharing your contact data with third parties.

Newsletters

Our website offers the feature to register for our newsletter. We hate spam, so our newsletter system operates on the highest standards on emailing users: double opt-in – every user needs to confirm their registration to the newsletter by following a special link in the welcome email; unsubscribe – all our newsletters have an unsubscribe link, which means that if at any time a user wants to stop receiving our mails, this is just one click away, no questions asked; limited number of emails – we know you receive multiple emails every day and have a busy life, so we try to limit our newsletters to no more than 2 messages / month (exceptional cases may change this practice from time to time, like special offers available for very limited time).

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to monitor visitors on our website. Their privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=ZZ. The data collected with this service is for statistical uses, in order to know the number of visitors on our website, their interest (pages visited), user location (country, region, city), time spent on website, devices used to view our website. This data helps us improve on our services and offering and abcTRAVEL.GUIDE does not put this data together with personally identifiable info, meaning this is anonymized for our use.

Advertising

We use different advertising platforms to monetize our website. Google Adsense is such a third party vendor which may set cookies on its own when google ads are displayed on our pages. Also, any external links from travel agencies, booking engines, may also use cookies on their own when a user visits their website (please check their privacy policy for more details). Cookies used by these third-party vendors are mainly used for advertising personalization. Users may opt out from these tracking options following the www.aboutads.info link.

Who we share your data with

We do not share your data with anyone, nor do we sell it. However, if local laws require, we may have to share info if asked to for any type of investigation.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
