Introduction

Welcome to Things Nomads Do (thingsnomadsdo.com). This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect information when you visit this website. By using this site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Please note: This privacy policy is a legal document. While I have taken care to make it comprehensive, I recommend consulting a legal professional to ensure it fully meets your local legal requirements.

What Information I Collect

Information you provide directly

When you subscribe to my newsletter, I collect your email address. I use this solely to send you the newsletter and updates related to the blog. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email.
When you contact me via email, I collect the information you include in your message (such as your name and email address) in order to respond to your enquiry.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, certain information is collected automatically, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. This information is collected via cookies and analytics tools (see below).

Cookies

This website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help the site function correctly and allow me and my advertising partners to understand how visitors use the site.

Types of cookies used on this site

First-party cookies are set by thingsnomadsdo.com and help the website remember your preferences.

Third-party cookies are set by external services such as advertising networks and analytics providers. These are used to serve relevant advertisements and to analyse website traffic.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of this website, and you will still see advertisements — they may just be less relevant to you.

For more information about cookies and how to manage them, visit All About Cookies.

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a "device") by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, "Tags") may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser's cache. The "help" feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser's cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

• IP Address

• Operating System type

• Operating System version

• Device Type

• Language of the website

• Web browser type

• Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor's referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit the National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit the Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance's AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.

For specific information about Mediavine Partners, the data each collects and their data collection and privacy policies, please visit Mediavine Partners.

Affiliate Links

Some links on this website are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase or booking, I may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. I only recommend products, services, and companies that I genuinely believe will be useful to my readers.

Affiliate programmes I participate in include, but are not limited to: Booking.com, Klook, GetYourGuide, SafetyWing, Travelpayouts, AWIN, and Saily. These third-party providers may use cookies to track referrals. Please refer to their individual privacy policies for more information on how they handle your data.

Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often you visit the site, what pages you visit, and what other sites you visited before coming here. This data is used in aggregate form to improve the website content.

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

Newsletter and Email

If you subscribe to the Things Nomads Do newsletter, your email address is collected and stored via my email marketing provider. I use this information solely to send you the newsletter and occasional updates about the blog.

I will never sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any newsletter email.

Third-Party Links

This website contains links to external websites. I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. I encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

How long your data is retained

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Email addresses collected for the newsletter are retained until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained in accordance with Google Analytics' standard retention policies. Data collected via advertising partners is managed according to their individual policies (see Mediavine Partners above).

Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information on this site, please contact me and I will take steps to remove it.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When I do, I will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. I encourage you to review this policy periodically.
