Privacy policy
Effective date: [TODO: date you publish]
This policy explains what information VacMood ("we", "us") collects when you visit this website or subscribe to our newsletter, and how we use it.
Information we collect
- Newsletter signups: your email address and, if you choose to give it, your name or travel plans. Our email provider (TODO: Beehiiv or Substack) stores this for us.
- Messages you send us: if you use our contact form, the name (optional), email address and message you enter, so we can reply. The form is delivered to us by email.
- Basic usage data: our web host and any analytics tool [TODO: name it, or delete this line if none] may log standard data such as pages visited, browser type, approximate location and referring site.
Affiliate links and cookies
When you click a link to a booking site such as Viator, GetYourGuide and Klook, that site may set cookies to record that you came from us, so we can be credited for a booking. Those cookies are controlled by that site under its own privacy policy. We don't receive your payment details.
How we use information
- To send the newsletter you signed up for.
- To reply to your messages.
- To understand which pages are useful and improve the site.
We don't sell your personal information.
Unsubscribing and your choices
Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link. You can also use the contact form to ask us to access, correct or delete your information.
Data retention
We keep subscriber information until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. [TODO: confirm with your email provider's settings.]
Children
This site isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
Visitors outside the U.S.
[TODO: if you'll have EU/UK subscribers, add GDPR details (legal basis, rights, data transfers). If you'll have California readers, review CCPA/CPRA requirements.]
