Privacy Policy
Coffee and Travels, found at www.coffeeandtravels.com (“Website”), is governed by the following Privacy Policy.
I respect your privacy and I am committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information I may collect through the Website and how that information may be used. It applies only to this Website.
Information I collect and how it is used
When you interact with the Website, you may choose to provide personal information such as your name or email address. For example, you may submit this information when leaving a comment, filling out a contact form, or subscribing to the newsletter.
If you leave a comment, the Website may collect your name, email address, and IP address. Some details, such as your name and comment, may be visible publicly. Your email address will never be shared.
In addition, the Website automatically collects certain information about your visit. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you viewed, the time and date of your visit, and any actions you take on the site, such as clicking on links.
Cookies are also used to improve your experience. Cookies are small data files stored in your browser. They may be used to remember your preferences or to personalise content and ads. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of the Website may not function properly without them.
How I use your information
The information collected through the Website may be used in a number of ways. It allows me to operate and maintain the site, respond to your comments or enquiries, and send you newsletters if you have subscribed. Each email newsletter includes an option to unsubscribe at any time. The information also helps me track and measure advertising and affiliate marketing activity, and to protect the Website against unauthorised or illegal activity.
Third-party services
The Website works with third-party service providers. For example, I use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This service may capture your IP address but does not collect other personal details.
I use WPForms to manage contact form submissions. If you send me a message through a form, your name, email, and message are collected so I can respond. For newsletters, I use an email marketing service (such as Mailchimp or Mailerlite) to deliver updates to subscribers. Your name and email address are stored for that purpose only.
The Website also uses Google Ads to display advertising. These ads may use cookies to provide a more personalised experience. In addition, I take part in affiliate marketing programmes. This means that if you click on an affiliate link, a cookie may be placed in your browser to track sales and ensure that I receive a commission.
Each third-party service provider has its own privacy policy that governs how they use your information.
Advertising and cookies
The Website may use cookies to display personalised advertising. You can opt out of personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings. If you prefer, you can also manage or disable cookies directly through your browser settings.
Your rights
You have the right to access the personal information I hold about you. You may request changes or updates to your information, or ask me to delete your personal data. You also have the right to opt out of future email communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in newsletters.
To exercise any of these rights, you can contact me at info@coffeeandtravels.com.
Sensitive personal information
You should not submit sensitive information to the Website, such as financial details, health information, or identification numbers. If you choose to provide such information, it will be covered by this Privacy Policy, but I strongly advise against sharing it through this Website.
