Privacy policy

Who is responsible

RealTripGuides is the publisher and data controller for this website. Privacy questions and requests can be sent to hello@realtripguides.com.

Information we collect

• Basic technical records needed to deliver and secure the site, such as IP address, browser type, requested page, time and error logs.
• Your cookie preference, stored in your browser so the site remembers whether you chose essential-only or accepted optional services.
• Information you send voluntarily by email, including your address and the content of your message.
• Analytics or advertising identifiers only when the applicable law and your consent allow them.

Why we use it

We use necessary records to operate, diagnose and protect the site; correspondence to answer the person who contacted us; and optional analytics to understand which guides are useful. Advertising helps fund the publication. Where consent is the legal basis, you can withdraw it at any time through Cookie preferences in the footer.

Advertising and Google services

Google AdSense may use cookies or similar technology to serve and measure ads. Google and its partners may process device, browser and interaction information under their own privacy terms. Personalised advertising is not enabled through this site before a visitor gives the required consent. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services at Google's partner-sites policy.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by service providers that host, secure, measure or advertise on the site, or disclosed where required by law. Providers are expected to protect it and use it only for the service they supply.

Retention and security

Technical logs are retained only as long as needed for operations and security. Correspondence is kept while a request is active and for a reasonable period afterwards. We use access controls, secure transport and dependency updates, but no internet service can promise absolute security.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, or receive a portable copy of your data. Email us to make a request. We may need to verify your identity before acting. You can also complain to your local data-protection authority.

Children

This general travel publication is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
