Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how The Travel Spark Company LLC handles information associated with this independent travel guide. It applies to this website, including its newsletter signup and communication links.

Information you provide

If you subscribe to the newsletter, the signup form requests your email address. Information you choose to include in a message is also received when you contact us through the communication option shown on the Contact page. Do not include payment details or sensitive personal information in an ordinary message.

How information is used

Newsletter information is used to manage subscriptions and send the updates requested. Messages are used to understand and respond to the enquiry. Technical information may be processed to operate the site, detect misuse, maintain security and investigate errors. Information may also be retained or disclosed where required by an applicable legal obligation.

Newsletter service

The newsletter form is provided through Brevo. Subscription information is processed by the service as part of managing the newsletter. You can use an unsubscribe option in a newsletter message to stop receiving future updates. This website does not use Brevo web push notifications.

Technical data and essential storage

Web servers and security services may receive information such as an IP address, requested page, time, browser information and error details. WordPress, hosting and security functions may use essential storage where needed. The theme does not add analytics, advertising pixels or optional map embeds. Where a separate service is enabled in the future, this policy and any required controls should reflect its actual use.

Tour and accommodation services

Experience information and images may come from third-party providers. Opening a booking or provider link takes you to a separate service, where that service’s privacy terms apply. This guide does not receive payment-card details through the displayed booking links. Remote images and service requests can disclose normal connection information to the relevant service.

Service providers and transfers

Hosting, security, newsletter and technical service providers may process information needed for their work. Their systems may operate in countries different from yours. The specific handling of information by an external provider is described in its own policies and applicable contractual arrangements.

Retention and security

Information is retained for the purpose for which it was collected, operational needs and applicable obligations. Different records may have different retention periods. Technical safeguards help protect the website, but no online system can guarantee complete security.

Your choices and requests

You may unsubscribe from newsletters and contact us about information you have provided. Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection. Requests can be made through the Contact page; further information may be needed to verify and respond to a request.

Other websites and updates

Links are provided for convenience and do not make this policy apply to other websites. Review the terms of each service you use. This policy may be updated when the site’s practices change. The current version is published on this page.
