2. What Data We Collect
Account information
When you create an account, we collect your email address and a hashed password. We do not store your password in plain text.
Usage data
We may collect anonymised analytics data (pages visited, session duration, general location by country) to understand how the site is used and improve it. These data are not linked to your identity without your consent.
Cookies
We use cookies to keep you logged in (session cookie) and, with your consent, to power analytics. Details about the cookies we use and how to manage them are included in the cookie section of this policy.
Newsletter / email
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address and subscription preferences. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email we send.
3. How We Use Your Data

- To send the newsletter, if you have opted in
- To improve the site using aggregated, anonymised analytics
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.
4. Third-Party Services
We use carefully selected third-party providers to operate the service. Each processes data only as necessary for the stated purpose:
- Email delivery: Transactional and newsletter emails are sent via a third-party email provider. Your email address is shared with this provider for delivery purposes only.
- Analytics: With your consent, we use an analytics provider to understand site usage. Analytics cookies are only set after you accept them.
- Advertising: We may display ads served by third-party advertising networks (such as Google AdSense). These services may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites. Advertising cookies are only set with your consent. You can opt out of personalised advertising via your browser settings or at aboutads.info.
- Affiliate networks:If you click an affiliate link (flights, hotels, insurance), the linked site’s own privacy policy applies. We may receive aggregated commission data but not your personal information from partner sites. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
- Hosting / infrastructure: The site is hosted on third-party hosting and infrastructure services that help operate and secure the site. Data may be processed or stored by those providers as needed to provide the service.

- If you delete your account, your personal data are removed within 30 days, except where we are legally required to retain it.
- Newsletter subscription records are kept until you unsubscribe, then deleted within 30 days.
- Anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be used to identify you.
