Overview

TripByMood ("we", "us") provides mood-based city travel guides at tripbymood.com. This policy explains what data we process when you visit the site and how we use it.

Information we collect

• Usage data: pages viewed, referring URL, browser type, device type, and approximate location derived from IP address (via hosting and analytics providers).
• Contact data: if you email us or subscribe to a newsletter, we store the address you provide.
• Cookies: essential cookies for site functionality; optional analytics cookies if enabled.

We do not require an account to read guides. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16.

How we use information

• Operate, secure, and improve the website and guides.
• Measure traffic and understand which content is useful.
• Respond to support or partnership requests.

Third-party services

We rely on infrastructure and content partners, including hosting (Vercel), DNS (Cloudflare), database and image storage (Supabase), map tiles, and affiliate platforms such as Booking.com and GetYourGuide. When you follow an affiliate link, their privacy policy applies on their site.

Legal bases (EEA / UK)

Where GDPR applies, we process data on the basis of legitimate interests (site operation and improvement), consent (newsletter and non-essential cookies), and legal obligations where required.

Retention and security

We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above. We use HTTPS, access controls on production systems, and do not sell your personal information.
