Travaloca Privacy Policy (Effective Date: 2025)

1. Introduction and Scope

Welcome to Travaloca.com. This website operates strictly as a global travel blog and informational news platform. We do not offer direct booking services, process financial transactions, or host user accounts.

This Privacy Policy explains the nature of the data collected passively through your use of the site, our use of cookies, and the role of third parties (specifically, affiliate partners).

Core Principle: Travaloca does not directly collect, store, or share any Personal Data (such as names, emails, physical addresses, or payment details) from our visitors.

2. Information We DO NOT Collect

Given our operational model, we explicitly state that Travaloca does not collect, solicit, or maintain the following types of Personal Data:

Identity Data (Names, Emails, Phone Numbers)
Account Data (Usernames, Passwords)
Transaction or Payment Data
Sensitive Personal Data (Health, Biometric Data, etc.)

3. Data Collected Passively (Non-Personal Data)

While we do not collect Personal Data, certain Non-Personal Data is collected automatically to maintain and improve the site, primarily through standard web server logs and analytics tools. This data is processed in an aggregated and anonymized manner and cannot be used to identify you personally.

Usage Data: Anonymized IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and duration of visits.
Device Data: Device type (mobile/desktop) and screen resolution.

The sole purpose of collecting this non-personal data is to analyze website traffic, diagnose technical problems, and optimize the delivery of our content.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies, such as pixels, to enhance your browsing experience.

Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for basic website operation.
Analytical/Performance Cookies: Used to count visitors and analyze user interaction with our content (as mentioned in Section 3).

By continuing to use our site, you consent to the use of these necessary and performance-based cookies. You may control or refuse cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

5. Affiliate Marketing and Third-Party Links

Travaloca.com generates revenue through Affiliate Marketing, which is essential for funding our content creation.

Affiliate Links: Our content includes links to external third-party websites (e.g., booking platforms, airlines, hotel sites).
Tracking Mechanism: When you click an affiliate link, a tracking mechanism (usually a cookie or pixel) is placed on your browser solely to attribute the referral to Travaloca, allowing us to earn a commission.
Data Responsibility Transfer: When you click an affiliate link and leave the Travaloca website, you are subject to the third party’s own privacy policy and terms. The Affiliate Partner (e.g., the booking company) is the party responsible for the collection, storage, and processing of your Personal Data (e.g., Name, payment details, itinerary) that you provide on their site.
Disclaimer: We strongly encourage you to review the Privacy Policy of any third-party website before submitting personal information. Travaloca bears no responsibility for the data practices of these external sites.

Travaloca does not sell, trade, rent, or share any personal data with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.

We may disclose non-personal, aggregated usage data only when required by law, court order, or governmental authority.
