1. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to your use of travelnetwork.org and any services accessible through it. It should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and Affiliate Disclosure. The limitations of liability set out in our Terms & Conditions also apply to this Policy. Some areas of the site can be used without an account; other features, such as placing an order, require registration.
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly. When you register an account, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us, we may collect:
- Identity data — name, username
- Contact data — email address, billing and shipping address, phone number
- Account data — password, preferences, order history
- Payment data — handled by our payment processor; we do not store full card numbers
- Communications data — messages, inquiries, and support requests you send us
Information collected automatically. When you visit the site we may collect:
- IP address and approximate location
- Browser type, version, and language
- Device type, operating system, and platform
- Pages viewed, time spent, referring URLs, and clickstream data
- Cookie and tracking identifiers (see Section 8)
Aggregated data. We may create anonymized, aggregated data (for example, the percentage of users who view a particular page) that does not identify you and is not treated as personal data.
Sensitive data. We do not collect sensitive personal data such as race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, health, or biometric data.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Create and manage your account
- Process and fulfill orders and send transactional emails (confirmations, receipts)
- Respond to your questions and provide customer support
- Improve and personalize our website, content, and user experience
- Monitor site performance, troubleshoot, and maintain security
- Measure and understand the effectiveness of our content and advertising
- Send marketing communications where you have opted in (see Section 5)
- Comply with legal and regulatory obligations
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Where data protection law applies to you, we process your personal data on one or more of the following bases: (a) to perform a contract with you (such as fulfilling an order); (b) for our legitimate interests in operating, improving, and securing our business, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights; (c) with your consent (such as for marketing or non-essential cookies); and (d) to comply with a legal obligation.
5. Marketing and Your Choices
You will only receive marketing communications from us if you have opted in. We may use your information to identify products, services, and offers that may interest you. You can opt out at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any marketing email or by contacting us at [email protected]. We will obtain your explicit consent before sharing your personal data with any third party for their own marketing purposes.
6. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only as needed to operate the site:
- Payment processors — to securely process transactions and screen for fraud
- Hosting and infrastructure providers — who host our servers on our behalf
- Analytics providers — including Google Analytics 4, to understand site usage
- Advertising platforms — in some cases we may share limited data (such as hashed email addresses) with platforms like Google to deliver and measure advertising; these platforms act as our processors and we share such data only where we have a lawful basis
- Affiliate partners — when you click affiliate links (see Section 7)
- Professional advisers and authorities — where reasonably necessary or required by law
7. Affiliate Links and Tracking
TravelNetwork.org participates in affiliate programs with third-party travel and product providers. When you click an affiliate link, the partner may set tracking cookies on your device to attribute any resulting booking or purchase to us, which is how we earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. Once you leave our site and complete a transaction on a partner’s platform, that transaction and any data you provide there are governed by the partner’s own privacy policy, not ours. We encourage you to review those policies.
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
- Essential cookies — required for the site, login, and shopping cart to function
- Analytics cookies — to measure traffic and understand how the site is used
- Affiliate tracking cookies — set by our affiliate partners when you click their links
- Advertising cookies — to measure and, where applicable, personalize advertising
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality. Where required by law (for example, for visitors in the EEA, UK, or California), we will seek your consent before setting non-essential cookies.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. Personal data is stored on secure, password- and firewall-protected servers. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. International Data Transfers
Our servers and some of our service providers may be located in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where we transfer personal data across borders, we take steps to ensure it is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy and applicable law.
11. Data Retention
We retain your account and order data for as long as your account is active or as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including legal, accounting, and reporting obligations. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it. You may request deletion of your account at any time (see Section 12).
12. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Request a portable copy of your data
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We would appreciate the chance to address your concerns directly before you approach a regulator.
13. Children’s Privacy
TravelNetwork.org is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. By using the site, you warrant that you are at least 13 years old. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
14. Third-Party Links
Our site contains links to third-party websites, including affiliate partner platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. This Policy applies only to TravelNetwork.org. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.
15. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on this page, and continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
