Introduction
WIGO TRIPS LLC ('we', 'our') operates wigotrips.com and the associated newsletter and editorial services. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We try to keep this short and human.
Information we collect
We collect the minimum information needed to provide our services. This includes email addresses you give us when subscribing to the newsletter, contact form submissions, basic analytics about pages visited (in aggregate), and information you voluntarily share when applying for a position or pitching an article.
How we use information
We use your email address to send the newsletter you subscribed to and to respond to messages you send us. We use aggregate analytics to understand which articles readers find useful. We do not build advertising profiles. We do not sell personal information to third parties.
Cookies and analytics
We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies to operate the site, plus privacy-respecting analytics that do not track you across other websites. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Third-party services
Newsletter delivery, hosting, and embedded maps may involve carefully selected third-party providers. These providers process data on our behalf under written agreements that require them to protect it.
Data retention
Newsletter subscribers remain in the list until they unsubscribe. Contact form messages are retained for as long as needed to address them and for a reasonable record-keeping period afterwards. Analytics data is aggregated and not tied to individuals.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. You can also object to processing or request a copy of your data. Write to us at the address below to exercise any of these rights.
International transfers
We are based in the United States. If you access our services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries with different data protection laws. We rely on appropriate safeguards for any such transfers.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No method of internet transmission is fully secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
Our services are not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be flagged at the top of the page and announced in the newsletter.
