Information you give us
If you contact us, subscribe to a newsletter, or leave a comment, we may collect your name, your email address, and any message content you send us.
Information collected automatically
When you visit this site, certain information is collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools. This may include your IP address (anonymized where possible), browser type and device information, pages viewed and time spent on the site, the website that referred you here, and your general geographic location at a country or city level.
Cookies
This site uses cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the site function and help us understand how visitors use it. We use three types: essential cookies required for the site to work, analytics cookies that help us understand traffic and behavior (via Google Analytics), and advertising cookies placed by third-party ad networks and affiliate programs.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect parts of the site experience.
We use the information we collect to operate and improve this website, respond to your inquiries or comments, send newsletters or updates if you have subscribed, monitor site traffic and understand our audience, and comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent or trade your email list. We only share data where necessary to operate this site, for example with analytics platforms or email service providers we use.
Ang Around the Globe participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate links may appear in blog posts and travel guides, product or service recommendations, booking links for hotels, tours, flights, and travel insurance, and on any recommended resources pages.
We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe will be useful. Affiliate income helps keep this blog running and the content free. Our opinions are always our own, and we will never recommend something just to earn a commission.
Affiliate programs we participate in may include Amazon Associates, Booking.com, GetYourGuide, Skyscanner, ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, and similar travel or lifestyle networks. Each of these has their own privacy policies governing how data is handled on their platforms.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how people use this site. Google Analytics collects anonymized data about your visit. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Google AdSense
This site may display ads served by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to show ads based on your prior visits to this or other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at adssettings.google.com.
Email service providers
If you subscribe to our list, your email is stored with a third-party email service provider. These services have their own privacy policies and data protection practices.
Social media platforms
This site may include social sharing buttons or embedded content from platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, or YouTube. These platforms may collect data about your interaction with their content even if you do not have an account with them.
