Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide a better browsing experience across our travel grid. This includes:

• Voluntary Information: When you email us directly at hello@gridtrotter.com, we collect your email address and any details you include in your message.
• Automated Information: We automatically collect certain data when you browse our site, such as your IP address, browser type, device info, and pages visited via cookies and analytics tools.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data exclusively to:

• Respond to your emails, feedback, and partnership inquiries.
• Analyze website traffic to improve our travel guides, stories, and layout.
• Maintain the security and integrity of our online platform.

3. Cookies, Analytics, and Consent

When you first visit GridTrotter, a consent banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored on your device and remembered for up to twelve months; you can change it anytime through the Cookie Settings link in our footer.

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics 4 with Google Consent Mode. Until you accept, it runs in a privacy-preserving mode that measures traffic without storing cookies or identifying you. If you accept, it sets standard analytics cookies.
• Travelpayouts: Our flight search widget and our affiliate auto-linking (Travelpayouts Drive) load only after you accept. These set their own cookies to power flight search and to attribute partner referrals. If you decline, they do not load and the flight search is disabled until you enable it.

You can also disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not function optimally as a result.

4. Third-Party Links and Booking Resources

Our website contains curated affiliate links and structural resources to external travel booking platforms. We do not control, operate, or endorse the privacy practices of these third-party websites. Once you leave our domain, please review the individual privacy policies of those specific booking networks.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your global location, you have the right to access, update, or delete the personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, please contact us directly.
