TripPlanning.org (“we”, “us” or “our”) operates TripPlanning.org (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains the types of information that may be collected when you use the Site, how that information may be used, and the role of third-party services.
Information you provide
You do not need to create an account to browse TripPlanning.org. If you contact us directly, we may receive information you choose to provide, such as your email address, name and the contents of your message. We use this information to respond to your inquiry and maintain necessary correspondence.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, the Site and its service providers may automatically receive technical information when you visit. This can include your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, approximate location derived from IP address, date and time of access, and other usage or diagnostic information.
This information may be used to operate the Site, understand traffic, improve content and performance, prevent abuse, measure advertising and maintain security.
Cookies and similar technologies
TripPlanning.org and third-party services used on the Site may use cookies, local storage, pixels or similar technologies. These technologies can help remember preferences, measure visits, understand how the Site is used, support advertising and attribute affiliate referrals.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Where required by applicable law, a consent or privacy-choice message may also be presented before certain advertising or measurement technologies are used.
Google services and advertising
TripPlanning.org may use Google services, including advertising and analytics or measurement services. Third-party vendors, including Google, may place or read cookies on your browser, or use similar technologies, IP addresses and other information as a result of serving or measuring ads on the Site.
Google may use information from this Site together with information from other sites or apps that use Google services, subject to Google’s own privacy policies and user settings.
Affiliate links and Amazon
Some links on TripPlanning.org are affiliate links, including links to Amazon. Affiliate links may contain referral identifiers that allow a retailer to determine that a visit or qualifying purchase originated from TripPlanning.org.
When you leave TripPlanning.org and visit Amazon or another retailer, that third party may collect and process information according to its own privacy policy and technologies. TripPlanning.org does not control the data practices of those third-party websites.
Embedded and third-party content
Some pages may include or link to third-party content, such as videos, maps, retailers, manufacturers, standards organizations or travel resources. Interacting with third-party content may allow the third party to receive technical or usage information under its own privacy policy.
How we use information
Information collected directly or through service providers may be used to:
- operate, maintain and improve the Site;
- understand which pages and features are useful to visitors;
- respond to messages and support requests;
- measure site performance, advertising and affiliate referrals;
- protect the Site from fraud, abuse and security threats; and
- comply with applicable legal obligations.
Data retention
We retain information we receive directly only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to communications, maintaining records and meeting legal obligations. Third-party service providers determine their own retention periods under their respective policies.
Your choices
You can limit or delete cookies using your browser settings and, where available, use the privacy or consent controls presented on the Site. You may also use the privacy and advertising controls offered directly by Google and other third-party services.
Third-party links
TripPlanning.org contains links to websites we do not operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information or completing a transaction.
Children’s privacy
TripPlanning.org is a general travel information website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children under 13.
Security
We use reasonable measures to help protect information associated with the Site. However, no internet transmission, website or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the Site, its services or legal requirements change. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
