1. Objectives of the policy / scope and application
Respect for privacy and the protection of personal information are essential to us. Through this Policy, we intend to protect them in accordance with applicable laws.
To ensure that protection, TravelingWP commits to collect, process, and share information that identifies an individual only where that individual has consented, unless permitted or required by law, in which case your consent may not be necessary.
The purpose of this Policy is to inform users, in plain language, of why and how TravelingWP (or anyone acting on its behalf) collects and uses their personal information, so that users can give informed consent.
For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” means any information about an identifiable person or that allows a person to be identified. Where possible, we anonymize, pseudonymize, and/or aggregate this information so that it no longer identifies a person.
2. Why we collect your information / effective date
Personal information is collected and used in particular for the following purposes:
- to let you access and properly use the website;
- to handle your requests, including questions sent through our contact form;
- to let you subscribe to our newsletter;
- to troubleshoot and improve the website, including security, optimization, and restoring lost data;
- to evaluate, optimize, and improve the content and features of the website;
- to communicate with you about a request you made or your experience with our content;
- where permitted, to show you relevant content, including “retargeting”, and to improve our content and any advertising so it is more relevant to you;
- to understand how the website’s features are used.
We only use personal information for the purposes for which it was collected.
3. How we obtain consent / methods of collection
We commit to obtaining consent before collecting an individual’s personal information. Consent may be explicit or implied, and may be given directly by the person or by an authorized representative. We favor explicit consent, whether verbal, electronic, or written. In deciding the appropriate type of consent, we consider the sensitivity of the information, the purposes of collection, and the reasonable expectations of a person in a similar situation.
When you access this website, your computer and our server automatically exchange data so the server can deliver a file compatible with your device. This data includes:
- the identity of your internet service provider;
- your IP address;
- the type of browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox) and operating system (e.g., Windows, macOS) you use;
- the pages you visit;
- the date and time you access those pages;
- the address of the referring site, if you arrive from another website.
Most of this automatically transmitted data does not identify you. It is collected only because of the technical requirements of browsing the internet, and we keep it for statistical purposes — to count visits and understand which pages are most visited, the technology used, referral sources, and the country of origin of visitors.
Cookies
Cookies are used to make navigating this website easier. On your first visit you can accept or reject non-essential cookies through the banner shown at the bottom of the page, and analytics cookies are only loaded after you accept. You can set your browser to block cookies at any time, though doing so may limit some features of the site.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web audience measurement tool that uses cookies. Google Analytics collects non-personal, aggregated statistical data to analyze how visitors use the website.
The information collected concerns your browsing on this site and is stored on servers located in particular in the United States. Google may share this information with third parties where required by law, or where those third parties process the data on Google’s behalf.
The information collected includes, for example, the pages you view; the date, time, duration, and frequency of your visits; and the links you click. Your operating system and its language, your internet service provider, and your approximate geographic location (region) are also collected. Your IP address is collected but anonymized (truncated) to protect the confidentiality of your information, so that you cannot be identified through it.
Google uses the information only to produce statistics and reports on browsing, which helps TravelingWP improve its content. Google will not associate the information collected on this site with any other data it holds.
If you wish, you can prevent Google from recording your browsing data by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Personal and confidential information
TravelingWP may also collect certain personal information about you — such as your full name, email address, and any message content — that you voluntarily provide when you use the website’s features, for example when you fill out the contact form or subscribe to the newsletter. Some of these features mean that personal information about you is shared between the service partners we rely on (web host, developer, marketing/analytics providers, email delivery). These partners keep this information confidential in accordance with applicable laws.
If we ever want to use personal information for a new purpose, we will describe the intended use and ask for consent again.
4. Objectives of collection / use of the information collected
Information is collected in accordance with the purposes set out in this Policy. Some reasons we collect your personal information:
- to manage our relationship with you;
- to personalize the content and services we offer;
- to prevent fraud and manage risk;
- to provide support and respond to your requests.
Marketing
If you subscribe to our newsletter or otherwise express interest, we may send you marketing communications using the information you provided, where permitted by applicable law and where you have not opted out. You can ask us to stop sending marketing communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each message. If you opt out of marketing, we may still send non-marketing messages, such as a confirmation of a request you made.
5. Processing purposes / retention of information
TravelingWP may collect personal information in various forms, but only by lawful means and only for the necessary purposes disclosed to you, as described in this Policy, or as permitted or required by law. We retain personal information for a period of 2 years, in accordance with the law, in order to:
- give you proper access to the website;
- fully respond to your requests;
- achieve the stated purposes;
- meet our legal obligations;
- resolve disputes;
- enforce the terms of any agreements we may have with you.
After this period, we anonymize or destroy the information so it is protected against unauthorized access or disclosure.
Among the personal information that may be collected, we pay particular attention to:
- Name and contact details — first and last name, email address, and any message you send, used to communicate with you.
- Demographic data — such as your approximate region and language of communication.
- Interactions — data about your use of the website (pages viewed, links clicked). Some of this you provide directly; some, such as error reports, is generated by us.
- Location data — approximate location data, which may be derived from your IP address (e.g., city or region), not precise location.
- Other data — including data from Google Analytics.
6. Personal information collected / data security
We use the data to operate the website and provide a rich, interactive experience. Personal information is kept on secure servers, protected against improper use and access by unauthorized persons. We maintain reasonable physical, administrative, and technical safeguards, and personal information is only made available to those who need it to carry out their responsibilities.
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access or disclosure, both internally and externally. However, no security mechanism is perfect, and you should be aware that there is always some residual risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for disclosure of such information except in the case of our negligence.
Some data may be processed by third-party service providers located outside Canada in order to carry out mandates on our behalf. In such cases, we take reasonable measures to ensure those third parties are bound by appropriate safeguards.
7. Processing methods used / disclosure of information
TravelingWP places the greatest importance on the security of your personal information and processes it according to industry standards, only for the purposes for which it was collected as described in this Policy. Nonetheless, absolute security is impossible given the limits inherent in transmission over the internet, so information you transmit to us is ultimately at your own risk.
Service providers. We may use external companies and third parties to administer and deliver services on our behalf — for example data processing and storage, analytics, and email delivery. In such cases, we take the necessary measures to ensure these third parties only access the information needed to perform the agreed services, process it only for the purposes we determine, and maintain protections consistent with applicable laws.
Third-party apps and software. We use applications or software, for example for newsletter signup or form handling. The information received by an external developer depends on the features offered; in some cases the developer receives no personal data.
Hyperlinks and third parties. The website may contain sharing options or links to third-party websites or platforms. When you use those links, you leave our website and your browsing becomes subject to the terms and privacy policies of those third parties. We have no control over those platforms and are not responsible for their content.
8. Access and control of personal information / compliance with the law
TravelingWP ensures that the personal information in its possession is as accurate, current, and complete as necessary for the purposes for which it is used.
You have the right to request access to your personal information to verify it and to request a correction if it is inaccurate. To do so, use the contact details at the end of this Policy. Within our means, we will provide timely access; for security reasons, we may need to verify your identity.
There may be circumstances where we cannot give you access — for example, where access would reveal another person’s personal information and that person refuses consent, or where legal restrictions apply. If so, we will tell you the reason.
We may disclose information about you to government, law enforcement, or private parties in accordance with the law where we believe it necessary and appropriate to:
- comply with applicable laws, legitimate requests, and legal processes, including responding to subpoenas or requests from government authorities;
- enforce the terms that govern our content and services;
- protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, or those of others;
- protect against, investigate, and deter fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical, or illegal activity.
9. Sharing personal information with third parties / business transfers
We do not share your personal information with companies, organizations, or people outside TravelingWP, except with our authorized providers and partners who need access for the purposes listed in this Policy, and in the following cases:
- with your consent;
- for storage on cloud servers, in which case personal information may transit through third-party jurisdictions — we only retain reputable providers with their own privacy policies;
- for external processing by trusted companies that process it on our behalf, under our instructions, in accordance with this Policy, and with a level of data security at least equivalent to our own;
- for legal reasons, where access is necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
TravelingWP commits not to sell or rent your personal information to any third party.
TravelingWP may sell or transfer part or all of the business or its assets, including your personal information, as part of a business transaction (or potential transaction) such as a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, in which case we will make reasonable efforts to require the recipient to respect this Policy.
10. Use of cookies and similar technologies / your rights and choices
TravelingWP may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, log files, or other technologies to collect certain information about visitors, as well as recipients of our newsletters and other communications. Cookies are pieces of information sent from the server to the browser during a visit that help uniquely identify the current session. This data may include your IP address, browser type and version, the pages you view, the time and date of your visit, and other statistics.
You can set your browser to notify you when cookies are used, letting you accept or reject them. Please note this website may contain links to third-party sites; this Policy stops applying when you leave our website, and TravelingWP is not responsible for the collection or processing of personal information by those third parties. You may choose not to provide your personal information, but in some cases this may prevent you from using certain features of the website.
Access, correct, or delete your information. You can contact us directly to ask to access, correct, or delete the information we hold about you.
11. Retention of personal information
TravelingWP keeps collected data for different periods depending on its nature and usefulness in providing our content and services. During the retention period, TravelingWP takes physical and technical measures to keep personal information secure.
Personal information may be kept outside the country in which you live if a third-party provider we disclose information to, in accordance with this Policy, is located outside the country. In such cases, personal information may be subject to the local laws of the countries or territories where it is collected, used, disclosed, or stored, and government and law-enforcement authorities in those countries may have access to it.
Once the retention period expires, personal information is destroyed. Only statistics or reports containing de-identified and anonymized data may be kept for longer periods.
We reserve the right to change this Policy at any time. If it is updated, the date will be changed and the current version will be published on our website.
12. Person responsible for the protection of personal information
We make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any reduction of your rights under this Policy will not be applied without your explicit consent. We always indicate the date of the latest changes, and if the changes are significant, we post a prominent notice on our website.
For any question, comment, or complaint about this Policy, you can contact the person responsible for ensuring compliance with it:
