Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Prepared Traveller ("we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website.
2. Data Collection
We do not sell, trade, or capture personal identifiers. We only collect minimal data necessary to improve site performance and user experience. This includes:
- Aggregate analytics data (e.g. page views, session duration) via Umami.
- Cookies or similar technologies to improve site functionality, if applicable.
- Your email address, if you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter via our subscription form. This data is processed by Brevo (see Section 6).
Umami is configured to collect non-personal, anonymized data only. No IP addresses or identifiable information is stored.
3. Embedded Content
Our website may include embedded content such as YouTube videos. Embedded content may collect data about your interaction with it, including your IP address, and may set cookies. Please review the privacy policies of these services directly for more details.
4. Affiliate Links
Some links on this website are affiliate links. This means that if you click on certain links and make a booking or purchase, we may earn a small commission.
Prepared Traveller participates in the Travelpayouts affiliate network and may promote travel services such as flights, hotels, tours, or other travel-related products through partner websites.
If you click an affiliate link, you may be redirected to a third-party website where your booking or purchase is completed. These partners may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to record that you were referred by this website. This allows the partner to attribute the booking to us so that a commission can be paid.
This does not increase the price you pay. The price you see on the partner website is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the provider.
We only link to services and providers that we believe may be useful for travellers.
Prepared Traveller does not control the content, policies, or practices of third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of any external site you visit.
5. Google reCAPTCHA
Our subscription form uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect against spam and automated abuse. reCAPTCHA is operated by Google LLC and works by analysing user behaviour and collecting hardware and software information, including IP address, browser type, and interaction patterns. This data is transmitted to and processed by Google.
The use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By using our subscription form, you acknowledge that this data may be processed by Google in accordance with those policies.
The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in keeping the website and its services secure (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
6. Email Subscriptions & Brevo
If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is collected and transmitted to Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), our email marketing service provider. Brevo acts as a data processor on our behalf and is contractually obligated to handle your data only in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection law.
