We take your privacy seriously and want to be upfront about how this blog operates. If you have any questions, reach us at support@angaroundtheglobe.com
Ang Around the Globe is a personal travel blog owned and operated by MV Media LLC. This site is not a company, not a healthcare provider, and not a financial advisor. It is a personal blog sharing travel experiences, tips, and recommendations.
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 and networks we participate in may include Amazon Associates, Booking.com, GetYourGuide, Skyscanner, ShareASale, CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction), Partnerize, 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.
Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)
The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.
First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.
Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.
The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:
Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.
If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.

Affiliate networks
In addition to the programs named in our Affiliate Disclosure, this site works with affiliate and partner networks including CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction), Partnerize, and similar platforms. When you click an affiliate or tracking link, these networks may set cookies or use tracking parameters to attribute a referral or purchase to this site. Each network operates under its own privacy policy governing how it handles that data.
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.
If you are based in the EU or UK (GDPR)
Under GDPR and UK GDPR, you have the right to access personal data we hold about you, request that inaccurate data be corrected, request deletion of your data, restrict how we process your data, receive your data in a portable format, object to certain types of processing, and withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@angaroundtheglobe.com We will respond within 30 days.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In the UK, that is the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk. In the EU, contact your national supervisory authority.
Legal basis for processing (EU/UK visitors)
Where GDPR applies, we process personal data on the basis of consent (for newsletter subscriptions and non-essential cookies), legitimate interests (for analytics and site security), and legal obligation where required by law.
If you are based in California (CCPA)
California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion of that data, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell your personal information for money. However, the use of third-party advertising cookies for interest-based advertising may be considered a “sale” or “share” under California law. You can opt out of this using the advertising controls described in the Advertising Networks section above, or through the privacy and consent options available on this site. To submit a request, contact us at support@angaroundtheglobe.com
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary. Email subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained according to the settings of the third-party platforms we use, typically 26 months for Google Analytics.
Ang Around the Globe is run by a nomadic business owner and, as a travel blog, is operated across different countries around the world as travels take place. On top of that, the third-party services this site relies on, such as analytics, advertising, and email platforms, store and process data on servers located in various countries. Because of this, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in a country other than your own, including countries that may not have the same data protection laws as your home country. If you are visiting from the EU, UK, or elsewhere, by using this site you consent to this transfer. Where required, we rely on third-party platforms that are certified under, or contractually committed to, recognized data transfer frameworks and safeguards.
This site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, please get in touch.
