What Data We Collect
We collect only the information we need to run the site, understand how it is used, and reply to readers who contact us:
- Information you give us directly. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. If you leave a comment on the site, we collect the name, email address and comment text you enter, together with your IP address and browser information, which helps us detect spam.
- Technical and usage information. When you visit the site, our web server and our analytics service automatically record information such as the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, the type of device and browser you use, your approximate location derived from your IP address, and the website that referred you here.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We and our advertising and analytics partners use cookies, as described in our Cookie Policy and in the section below.
We do not ask visitors to create an account to read our guides, and we do not ask for payment details, government identification numbers, or other sensitive information.
How We Use Your Data
We use the information we collect to operate and improve Traveling History, including to publish and maintain our guides, to understand which places and eras our readers find most useful, to keep the site secure and free of spam, to show advertising that helps pay for the site, and to reply to emails and other enquiries from readers. We do not use your personal information to make automated decisions about you, and we do not build profiles of individual readers for sale or for any other purpose.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. Traveling History uses cookies to remember your preferences, such as whether you have dismissed a notice, to measure how the site is used, and to allow our advertising partners to show ads and measure their performance. Some cookies are set by us and some are set by third parties, including Google. You can control cookies through your browser settings and through the choices described in our Cookie Policy.
Analytics
We use analytics tools, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the site, for example which guides are read most often and how long readers spend on a page. Analytics data is collected in aggregated form and helps us decide what to write about next and what to improve. Analytics services may set cookies and may collect your IP address, browser type and device information. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by changing your cookie settings.
Advertising
Traveling History may display advertising supplied by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to show you ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites, and to measure how their ads perform. This is known as interest-based or personalized advertising. Google and its partners may collect information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit in order to serve these ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings or the opt-out pages of the advertising networks concerned. If you choose not to receive personalized ads, you will still see advertising, but it will not be based on your browsing history.
Who We Share Data With
We share data only with the service providers that help us run the site, such as our web hosting provider, our analytics provider and our advertising partners, and only for the purposes described in this policy. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We may disclose information if we are required to do so by law, or if it is necessary to protect the safety of the site or its readers.
How Long We Keep Data
We keep emails from readers only for as long as needed to answer the enquiry and to keep a record of our correspondence. Comments, if any are published, are kept for as long as the relevant page remains on the site. Analytics data is kept in aggregated form for as long as it is useful for understanding how the site is used. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting, and are then deleted.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct it if it is wrong, to ask us to delete it, to object to how we use it, or to ask us to limit our use of it. To make such a request, email skdultana003@gmail.com with the subject line “Privacy request” and tell us what you would like us to do. We will reply within a reasonable time and we may ask you to confirm your identity so that we do not disclose information to the wrong person. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority if you believe we have handled your information incorrectly.
