Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to The Minted Traveler. This privacy policy provides information about how and when personal information is collected and used. By visiting our website, you are accepting these practices in these policies.
How your Information is Collected
When visitors use the site and/or leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if any) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site or fill out our contact card, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, links, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Affiliate Links
My blog posts and travel resources may contain affiliate links and I may receive compensation at no extra cost to you if you make a purchase. Items, programs, accommodations, or experiences recommended are based solely on my experiences and preferences.
The Minted Traveler is participant in the Amazon Associates Program and therefore links associated with this program may track cookies and links associated with the program for referrals to their site.
I cannot be held responsible for purchases and outcomes made based on these recommendations and it is your responsibility to conduct your own research and findings. There are no refunds, guarantees, or warranties for any products, accommodations, experiences, or services listed herein on this site.
Who We Share Your Data With
Data obtained for website performance, tracking, insights and statistics are evaluated anonymously. We do not share your data with any third-parties. Your data is used for website analytics and statistics tracking, comments, and contact card information only.
How Long We Retain Your Data
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. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have left comments or completed a contact card, you can request to have this information removed from our website and contact lists, if any, 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.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Third parties have access to your data as noted within this agreement.
Children’s Information
We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 on our website nor do we advertise to children. If a parent or guardian believes their child’s information has been obtained, please contact us so that we may remove this information from our website and records.
