Listen, your privacy is a big deal. We get it. You’re here to scope out epic adventures, not hand over your secrets to some sketchy corner of the internet. So here’s the lowdown on what we do (and more importantly, don’t do) with your info.
- What Info We Grab
There’s two basic types:
a. Stuff you hand over:
When you…
- Sign up for our newsletter (who doesn’t love a good travel story?)
- Drop us a message through a form
- Leave a spicy comment on a blog post
…you might share your:
- Name
- Whatever wild thoughts or feedback you type in
Don’t worry—we’re not selling, trading, or using your info for anything shady or off-topic. Pinky swear.
b. Stuff that just happens:
Our system’s got a mind of its own and scoops up things like:
- Your IP address
- Browser type (Chrome, Firefox, Netscape… okay, probably not Netscape)
- How long you hang out on a page
- What device you’re on
- Rough location (like, “Oh, you’re in Chicago,” not “you’re in that coffee shop on Main Street”)
Honestly, this just helps us make the site less glitchy and more fun to use.
- How We Actually Use Your Info
We’re not interested in world domination, just making the site better for you. So we use your info to:
- Send you emails and newsletters (only if you ask for ‘em)
- Respond when you reach out
- Make the site easier to navigate based on what people actually do here
- Block spam and bots (because nobody likes spam… unless it’s fried and on a Hawaiian bun)
No creepy profiling, no robot overlords, just good old-fashioned customer support.
- Cookies & Tracking (yeah, those cookies)
Yep, we use cookies. Not the chocolate chip kind, sadly. These help:
- Remember your settings
- Make the site load faster
- See what pages are hot (thanks Google Analytics)
If you’re not into that, you can turn cookies off in your browser. Just know, things might get a little wonky.

- Sharing? Not Really
We’re not in the business of selling your details. Sometimes we gotta share non-personal, totally anonymous stuff with:
- Hosting companies (so the site doesn’t crash)
- Analytics tools (to see what’s working)
- Email services, if we’re sending you newsletters
If the law comes knocking, we gotta comply, but otherwise your info stays put.
- Your Rights – Take Control
You can:
- Ask for a copy of your info
- Tell us to delete it
- Change your mind about giving consent
- File a complaint if you think we’ve messed up
Just shoot us an email at privacy@travelfreak.online or hit the Contact Page.
- About Those External Links
We link out to other sites. We have zero control over what they do with your info, so please check their policies before sharing anything. Usual suspects: TripAdvisor, Skyscanner, Lonely Planet, you know the drill. - Internal Links & Navigation
Want the full scoop? Check out:
- Terms & Conditions
- Disclaimer
These work together with this policy so you know exactly where you stand.
- Kids Under 13 – Not Welcome (Sorry!)
We’re not collecting info from kids under 13. If your kid snuck in here and dropped their details, let us know and we’ll delete it faster than you can say “parental control.” - Policy Changes
Sometimes rules change, or we add cool new features. If we update the privacy policy, we’ll slap the new version right here with the date. - Hit Us Up

Thanks for trusting us with your travel dreams (and your data). We’ll keep both safe—promise. Now, go find your next adventure!
