Scope of this policy

This policy applies to information processed through TravelWeather and its related public pages and services.

It does not apply to third-party websites, services, or resources that TravelWeather does not own or control, including websites reached through external links.

Climate information displayed by TravelWeather describes places and long-term weather patterns. It is not personal information about individual visitors.

Information you provide

TravelWeather does not require you to create an account or submit personal details to use its public features.

If you contact us, we receive the information included in your message, such as your email address and the contents of your inquiry. We use this information to respond, maintain a record of the correspondence, and address technical, legal, or service-related matters.

Information collected automatically

When you use TravelWeather, we and our service providers may process the following categories of information.

Usage information

This may include:

• Pages and destinations viewed
• Searches performed
• Filters and climate preferences selected
• Links followed
• Features used
• General traffic source
• Referring and exit pages
• Dates, times, and duration of visits
• Similar interactions with the site

Device and connection information

This may include:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Device category
• Screen characteristics
• Language settings
• Internet service and connection information
• Request time
• General technical configuration

Approximate location

We may process an approximate location derived from connection information. This may include country, region, city, or a similar general geographic area.

TravelWeather does not request precise GPS location and does not use the browser’s precise geolocation permission.

Audience characteristics

Where sufficient information is available, we may receive aggregated estimates concerning the general demographic characteristics of our audience.

This information is available only for eligible visitors. Reports may exclude or withhold information when there is not enough data to produce a sufficiently aggregated result.

The characteristics shown in these reports are estimates and may not accurately describe every visitor.

Analytics identifiers

Analytics technologies may use cookies and similar identifiers to distinguish browsers, visits, and interactions over time.

For eligible visitors, our analytics provider may associate site activity with information connected to signed-in users who have permitted that association through their account or privacy settings.

The analytics reports we receive are designed to describe usage patterns and audience groups. We do not receive visitors’ account identities, names, individual account activity, or detailed personal histories from unrelated websites or services.

Server and security information

Our hosting, security, and content-delivery infrastructure may process:

• Internet protocol address
• Requested page or resource
• Request date and time
• Browser and connection information
• Security and diagnostic events
• Error and performance logs

This information is used to deliver the service, prevent abuse, maintain reliability, investigate security events, and diagnose technical problems.

Information from service providers

We may receive information from providers that help operate TravelWeather, including:

• Analytics and audience reports
• Hosting and security logs
• Content-delivery information
• Approximate geographic signals
• Website performance information
• Map and geospatial information
• Technical error reports

We do not purchase personal information about visitors from data brokers.

Information we do not collect or provide for analytics

We do not collect or provide the following information for analytics purposes:

• Names
• Email addresses
• Telephone numbers
• Mailing addresses
• Payment or financial information
• Passwords or login credentials
• TravelWeather user-account identifiers
• Precise GPS location
• Government identification numbers
• Information entered into private messages or contact forms
• Special categories of sensitive personal information

If you contact us, we may receive your email address and message so we can respond. We do not provide that correspondence to analytics services.

TravelWeather does not use a User-ID system to connect analytics activity with an identified TravelWeather account.

We do not enable automatic collection of names, email addresses, telephone numbers, or other information visitors enter into forms for analytics purposes.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, tags, browser storage, and similar technologies.

Analytics technologies may use identifiers created through TravelWeather together with advertising cookies or other identifiers maintained by the analytics provider.

We use these technologies for measurement, audience understanding, and improvement of the service. We do not currently use the resulting analytics audiences to select personalized advertisements.

You may block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking preference storage may cause TravelWeather to forget settings between visits. Blocking analytics technologies does not prevent use of TravelWeather’s core climate-planning features.

Browser storage

Some information may be stored locally in your browser rather than in a TravelWeather account.

This may include:

• Temperature unit
• Language
• Light or dark theme
• Recent destination searches
• Recent climate criteria
• Trip-style preferences
• Short-lived interface settings

You can delete this information by clearing site data for TravelWeather through your browser.

Because TravelWeather does not provide public user accounts, clearing browser storage does not delete an online TravelWeather profile.

Location and theme

TravelWeather may use device time zone and approximate location to estimate whether it is daytime or nighttime in your area and to select an automatic light or dark theme.

Approximate location may also be used to:

• Understand the geographic distribution of visitors
• Measure usage by country, region, or city
• Improve destination and language coverage
• Understand regional interest in particular destinations
• Diagnose regional performance or availability issues

You may override the automatic theme through the site’s theme controls.

How we use information

We use information for the following purposes:

• Operate, maintain, and secure TravelWeather
• Return climate-planning and destination results
• Remember browser-based preferences
• Understand which destinations and features are useful
• Understand how visitors discover and navigate the site
• Understand the general geographic and demographic composition of the audience
• Understand broad audience interests
• Improve destination coverage, language support, design, usability, and performance
• Measure whether site changes are effective
• Diagnose technical problems
• Prevent abuse and security threats
• Respond to inquiries
• Comply with applicable laws
• Enforce our terms and protect our rights
• Assess how TravelWeather may reach relevant audiences in the future

We do not use analytics reports to determine the real-world identity of individual visitors.

Advertising

TravelWeather does not currently display personalized advertising or use analytics audiences to deliver personalized advertisements.

We may introduce advertising in the future. Advertising may initially be contextual, meaning that it is selected according to the page, destination, language, climate topic, or general subject being viewed rather than an individual visitor profile.

Before using analytics audiences for personalized advertising, we will update this policy within 90 days and introduce any additional disclosures or controls required by applicable law.

The presence of advertising-related capabilities within analytics software does not mean that TravelWeather is currently using visitor information for personalized advertising.

How we share information

We may share or make information available in the following limited circumstances.

Service providers

We use service providers for functions such as:

• Application hosting
• Security and abuse prevention
• Content delivery
• Asset storage
• Analytics and audience measurement
• Approximate geolocation
• Maps and geographic display
• Error monitoring and technical diagnostics
• Email and communications

These providers may process technical, usage, device, location, and identifier information as necessary to provide their services.

Legal and safety reasons

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
• Investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents
• Protect TravelWeather, its visitors, or other people
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

Business transactions

Information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or transfer of some or all of TravelWeather’s assets, subject to applicable legal requirements.

At your direction

We may disclose information when you direct us to do so or otherwise provide authorization.

We do not sell personal information. We do not currently provide analytics audience lists to advertising platforms for personalized advertising.

We may use or share aggregated statistics that are not reasonably intended to identify individual visitors.

Legal bases for processing

Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we may rely on:

• Legitimate interests, where permitted, to operate, secure, measure, understand, and improve the service.
• Performance of a requested service, where processing is necessary to provide results or functionality you request.
• Legal obligations, where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.
• Consent, where applicable law requires consent for a particular technology or processing activity.

In jurisdictions where prior consent is legally required for particular analytics or advertising technologies, those features are restricted or disabled unless the required consent has been obtained.

International processing

TravelWeather and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live, including the United States.

Privacy and data-protection laws in those countries may differ from the laws of your location.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we rely on recognized contractual or legal transfer mechanisms.

Data retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

• Analytics user-level and event-level information is generally retained for up to 14 months.
• Age, gender, and interest information is generally retained for up to two months.
• Aggregated reports may remain available after underlying user-level information has expired.
• Browser preferences remain on your device until you clear them.
• Standard server and security logs are generally retained for up to 30 days unless needed longer for security, fraud prevention, troubleshooting, or legal reasons.
• Email correspondence is generally retained for up to 24 months unless needed longer to handle an ongoing matter, dispute, or legal obligation.

How we protect information

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

These measures may include encryption in transit, access controls, security monitoring, and limits on administrative access.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

You may:

• Block or delete cookies through your browser
• Clear browser storage and saved TravelWeather preferences
• Use browser or device privacy controls to limit advertising identifiers
• Adjust personalization and advertising settings through relevant account or device controls
• Set your preferred language, temperature unit, or theme manually
• Contact us with questions or requests concerning your information

Blocking analytics technologies does not prevent you from using TravelWeather’s public climate-planning features.

Privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including rights to:

• Request access
• Request correction
• Request deletion
• Restrict certain processing
• Object to certain processing
• Request data portability
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

These rights may be subject to legal limitations, verification requirements, and exceptions.

Children

TravelWeather is a general-audience travel-planning service and is not directed to children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 or under the minimum age established by applicable law.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to TravelWeather, contact us so we can review and address the matter.

Automated results

TravelWeather may score, filter, compare, or rank destinations based on climate information and preferences entered by visitors.

These results are informational. They do not make legal, employment, financial, insurance, or similarly significant decisions about individuals.

Third-party links

TravelWeather may link to travel advisories, climate sources, maps, and other third-party resources.

We do not control the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of those services. Their own privacy terms apply when you visit them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when TravelWeather’s services, technology, business practices, or legal obligations change.

When we make changes, we will update the effective date shown at the top of the policy. We may provide additional notice when a change is material.
