The Short Version
I'm not selling your information. I don't care about your name or email for anything except responding to you. I use basic analytics to understand which posts people actually read. That's it.
What Data Do We Collect?
If you email or contact me: I get your name and email so I can actually respond to you. I keep it. I don't sell it. I don't pass it to anyone.
If you just visit: Google Analytics tracks which pages you look at, how long you stay, and general stuff about your browser. It's anonymous — they don't know who you are, just that someone from somewhere read a post about Albania.
Cookies: Yeah, we use cookies. Check the Cookie Policy if you want the full breakdown.
Google Analytics (How I Know Anyone's Reading This)
I use Google Analytics to see which posts people actually care about. It tells me "someone from New York spent 5 minutes reading the Albania post" — but not who that person is. I don't know your name. I don't know your email. I just know the post was interesting enough to hold your attention.
If you don't want to be tracked, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Google AdSense (The Ads You See)
Google shows you ads based on what you've looked at before. They're not spying on you personally — they're just pattern-matching. If you don't like it, you can change your Google Ad Settings.
Affiliate Links
This blog contains affiliate links. If you click a link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. See our full Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Links to Other Sites
I link to a lot of places. Instagram, booking sites, random blogs. Once you click away from here, I can't guarantee what happens. Read their privacy policies if you're paranoid. I'm not responsible for what they do with your data.
Kids Under 13
This blog isn't for kids. If you're under 13 and reading about Albania and Scotland, cool, but I'm not collecting your information.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you might be able to ask me for any data I have about you, correct it, or delete it. Email baldolanded@gmail.com and ask. I'll help.
If This Changes
I might update this policy if something changes. The date at the top will tell you when that happened. If you keep reading, you're cool with the new version.
Questions?
I'm not a lawyer. But I'm also not trying to trick you. Email me: baldolanded@gmail.com
