At Vietnam Travel Mates (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we are committed to protecting the privacy of our website visitors and users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose personal information when you visit our website, https://asiatravelmates.com. By using our website, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy was last updated on September 12, 2023
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data provided in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us with spam detection. If you choose to use Gravatar, an anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you upload images to our website, please ensure that you do not include embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in the images. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from the images.
We may use cookies on our website to enhance the user experience. If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Articles on our website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles) from other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent, except in the following circumstances:
We may share your personal information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, as long as they agree to keep your information confidential.
We may disclose your personal information if we believe it is necessary to comply with the law, enforce our website policies, protect our rights, or ensure the safety of our users or others.
If you leave a comment on our website, 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 who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you have an account on our website or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites that are not operated or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those websites before providing any personal information.
Our website is not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will promptly delete the information from our records.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revision date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates or changes.
