This page explains what information Tiny Trips (thetinytrips.com) collects when you visit, why, and what you can do about it. The short version: I collect as little as I can, I never sell your information, and you can ask me to delete it at any time.
Information you give me
- Newsletter. If you sign up, I collect your email address so I can send you new trip posts. Emails are sent through MailerLite, which stores your address on my behalf. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing stops all emails.
- Contact form. If you send a message, I receive your name, email address and message so I can reply. Messages are stored on this website and delivered to my inbox.
- Comments. If you leave a comment, the name, email address and comment you enter are stored, along with your IP address and browser details to help catch spam. Your email address is never shown publicly. WordPress may check your email against Gravatar, a service that shows a profile picture if you have one there.
Information collected automatically
- Analytics. I use Google Analytics to see how many people visit and which posts they read. It uses cookies and collects things like the pages you view, roughly where you are (city or country level), and what device and browser you use. I only look at totals and trends, never at individual visitors. You can opt out with Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link (for example Amazon, GetYourGuide or a Travelpayouts partner), that company may set a cookie so it can tell a booking or purchase came from this site. See the Disclosure page for more.
- Embedded content. Some posts include content from other sites, such as maps. Those sites may collect data about you just as if you had visited them directly.
- Hosting and caching. This site is hosted by Hostinger. Like most websites, the server keeps standard logs (such as IP addresses and the pages requested) for security and to keep the site running smoothly.
How I use it
Only to run the blog: sending the newsletter you asked for, replying to your messages, showing comments, and understanding which posts are useful. I do not sell, rent or trade your information to anyone.
How long I keep it
Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Contact messages and comments are kept until they are no longer needed, or until you ask me to delete them. Analytics data is kept according to Google Analytics’ retention settings.
Your choices and rights
You can ask to see the information I hold about you, have it corrected, or have it deleted. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local privacy laws, and I will honor them.
Children
This blog is not directed at children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, I will update the date at the top of this page. For any privacy question or request, email contact@thetinytrips.com.
