1. Who controls your data
TrulyGuidable is a personal travel website operated by me. If you contact me, subscribe to the newsletter, or leave a comment, I act as the controller of the personal data submitted through those features.
2. What data may be collected
Depending on how you use the site, I may collect your name, email address, optional website field, comment content, contact form message, newsletter subscription status, technical log data, cookie preferences stored in your browser, and limited analytics or affiliate-related data if you consent to optional technologies.
3. Contact form data
When you send a message through the contact form, I collect the information you provide so I can review your request and reply by email. I use this data only for communication related to your message unless a legal obligation requires longer retention.
4. Newsletter data
If you subscribe to the newsletter, I store your email address and subscription status so I can send updates about new guides, blog posts, and occasional site-related emails connected to TrulyGuidable content. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe option, and you can withdraw consent at any time.
5. Comments and ratings
If you leave a comment or rate an article, I may store the information necessary to publish the contribution, moderate spam, prevent abuse, and maintain discussion quality. Comments may be reviewed before or after publication if moderation or anti-spam checks require it.
6. Cookies and similar technologies
TrulyGuidable uses necessary technologies for core functionality and optional analytics or marketing technologies only when you allow them. Optional scripts are not loaded unless you give consent for the relevant category. Your preference is stored locally in your browser so the site can remember your choice. Full details are available in the Cookie Policy.
7. Third-party services
The site may use third-party providers for analytics, hosting, email delivery, affiliate tools, and embedded services. This can include Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for traffic measurement, Cloudflare analytics and security services, Mailgun for email delivery, and TravelPayouts or similar affiliate tools when marketing consent is given. These providers process data only to the extent needed to provide their service. External links and third-party sites are governed by their own privacy practices.
8. Legal bases
I process personal data based on your consent where required, my legitimate interest in operating, securing, and improving the site, and the need to respond to requests you voluntarily send through forms or email. Newsletter subscriptions and optional analytics or marketing technologies rely on consent where applicable.
9. Data retention
I keep personal data only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, such as replying to your message, maintaining your subscription, keeping comment records, or meeting legal, accounting, or security obligations.
10. International transfers
Some service providers may process data outside your country, including outside the EEA or UK. When this happens, the transfer depends on the safeguards used by the relevant provider and the nature of the service involved, such as contractual protections or other provider-side transfer mechanisms.
11. Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or withdrawal of consent regarding your personal data. You may also unsubscribe from newsletters at any time.
12. Security
I use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the site and submitted data. However, no internet-based system can be guaranteed fully secure, so you should avoid sending highly sensitive information through open web forms.
13. Changes to this policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated as the site, legal requirements, or service providers change. The newest version will always appear on this page.
