Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how The Visit Series LLC ("we", "us", "our") handles personal information when you use thevisitseries.com (the "website"). The website is an informational travel publication. We do not sell travel services or take bookings.

1. Information we may collect

Information you provide

• Contact form: your name, email address, subject and message.
• Suggest a Place form: your name, email address, the place you suggest and any comments.
• Newsletter signup: your email address, if and when a newsletter service is activated.

Please do not include sensitive personal information in messages. At the time of writing, some forms on the website may not yet be connected to a delivery or storage service. Where that is the case, the form will tell you, and information entered will not be transmitted to us.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may record technical information in server logs, such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages requested and the date and time of access. This is used to operate and secure the website.

Analytics

If we use analytics tools to understand how the website is used, they may collect information such as pages visited, time spent and general location derived from IP address. We will update this policy to name any analytics provider we choose to use. We do not currently claim that any specific analytics tool is installed.

2. How we use information

• To respond to questions, corrections, suggestions and partnership inquiries.
• To send newsletters you have requested, if that service is active.
• To maintain, secure and improve the website and its content.
• To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

3. Legal bases

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on your consent (for example, newsletter signup), our legitimate interests in running and improving an editorial website and responding to messages, and compliance with legal obligations.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

The website may use cookies and similar technologies. See our Cookie Policy for details.

5. Affiliate links

Some pages may contain affiliate links through Travelpayouts. When you click such a link, you leave our website and the third-party provider or affiliate network may set cookies or collect information according to their own privacy policies. We do not control how they process your data, and we encourage you to read their policies.

6. Service providers

We may use trusted service providers for hosting, email delivery, form processing or analytics. They process information on our behalf and only as needed to provide their services. We do not sell your personal information.

7. Data retention

We keep messages and suggestions only as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record keeping. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to processing, to withdraw consent and to request a copy of your data. You can unsubscribe from any newsletter at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. You may also have the right to complain to a data protection authority.

10. Children

The website is intended for a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. International visitors

We are based in the United States. If you contact us from elsewhere, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
