Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 7, 2026
Your privacy matters. This policy explains in plain language what we collect, why, and how you stay in control.
Who we are
Tours Information ("we", "us", "our") publishes free travel guides and tips at toursinformation.com. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you use the site, how we use it and the choices you have.
Information we collect
We keep data collection to a minimum. Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:
- Information you give us: your name, email address and message when you use the contact form, and your email address and topic choices when you subscribe to our newsletter.
- Usage data: pages viewed, approximate location (country or city level), device and browser type, referring site and time spent, collected through analytics cookies if you accept them.
- Technical data: IP address and basic request details that our servers and security tools process to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
- Saved guides: if you tap the heart on a guide, the list is stored in your own browser (local storage). We do not receive it.
How we use your information
- To run, secure and improve the website and its content.
- To reply to messages you send us.
- To send the newsletter you asked for, tailored to the topics you chose.
- To understand which guides are useful, using aggregated analytics.
- To comply with legal obligations and to prevent spam and abuse.
We do not sell your personal information.
Legal bases (UK and EU visitors)
Where data protection law such as the GDPR applies, we rely on: your consent (newsletter and analytics cookies), our legitimate interests (securing the site and understanding how it is used), and legal obligation where required. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Newsletter
If you subscribe, we store your email address and chosen topics and send you emails with new guides and tips. Every email contains an unsubscribe link. Once you unsubscribe we stop emailing you and keep only the minimum record needed to honour your request.
Cookies and analytics
We use essential cookies to run the site and, only with your consent, analytics cookies (Google Analytics through Site Kit by Google) to measure traffic. You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer. Read our Cookies Policy for details.
Advertising and third parties
We may display advertising or work with advertising and affiliate partners in the future. If we do, we will update this policy and our cookie banner so you can manage your choices. Our pages may link to third-party websites that have their own privacy practices; we are not responsible for them.
Service providers that help us run the site, such as our hosting provider and email delivery services, process data on our behalf under appropriate safeguards.
How long we keep data
Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to respond and for a reasonable period afterwards. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is kept according to the retention settings of our analytics tool.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your local data protection authority. California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including to know, delete and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information; we do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact us through our contact page.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including HTTPS encryption. No online service can be completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
Our site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers
Our service providers may process data in countries outside your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
