PRIVACY POLICY

Introduction

The website TrippVibes/its Owner/s and all of its corporate subsidiaries (if applicable) and affiliates (if applicable) (collectively referred to as “TrippVibes”, “we” or “us” within this policy document) recognises the importance of protecting user privacy and safeguarding all personal data voluntarily provided by visitors (referred to as “you” or “the user”) accessing our website at the URL trippvibes.com (referred to as the “Website”). Trippvibes is the trading name of Trippvibes Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 15802286, 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom.

As a demonstration of our commitment to honouring web user privacy rights, this official Privacy Policy document (referred to as the “Policy”) discloses what specific types of personal information will be actively collected, automatically gathered or passively received from users during their visits to the Website, along with precisely how all data types will be utilised, processed, secured and potentially shared under various use case scenarios.

We reserve the unilateral right to update, amend or revise the Policy at any time in order to reflect changes in data collection, usage or sharing practices. We will indicate the latest effective date at the bottom of the Policy to inform users of recent revisions. By voluntarily accessing, browsing, registering accounts with, making purchases from or otherwise utilising any pages, features or services on the Website, you legally consent to be fully bound by the most current version of the Policy in effect at that time as well as the Website Terms of Use.

If you do not agree to have your personal information used in accordance with the Policy, you are prohibited from accessing, registering with or using the Website in any manner. Discontinuing all Website access and usage is the sole method for indicating revocation of consent to the Policy terms after previously agreeing to be bound by the Policy in order to use Website pages or services.

Protecting Children’s Privacy

 We will never knowingly collect, store or use personal data provided directly by child visitors definitively determined to be under the age of 18 without first acquiring verifiable parental consent. We do not structure, format or promote any Website Content specifically to attract underage visitors. If We inadvertently gathers personal data from a visitor under 18 without parental verification, we guarantee prompt deletion upon discovery.

If any Website visitor suspects that We may possess collected identifiable information belonging to a child under 18 that was submitted without parental approval, they should contact Us immediately by email for investigation and swift remedy of the situation if applicable.

Types of Information Potentially Collected

 We only actively collects or passively receives personal user data that is voluntarily furnished by Website visitors through activities like posting public comments, registering accounts, subscribing to mailing lists or making purchases. The specific categories of personal data that may be submitted directly or indirectly by users include but are not limited to:

  • Full legal names, mailing addresses, email addresses and phone numbers
  • Financial information like payment account details and billing addresses
  • Geolocation information such as detecting user country for compliance purposes
  • IP addresses, browser/device info and usage analytics for functionality and security monitoring

Additional types of personal user data may automatically be gathered by the Website server logs or backend analytics software for statistical analysis of traffic patterns rather than individual tracking. We do not supplement or cross-reference any passive traffic analytics data with users’ voluntarily submitted personal identification or account info.

Affiliate advertisers integrated on the Website may deploy their own webpage performance monitoring technology subject to their independent privacy policies. We cannot control or access third party affiliate/advertiser data collection processes.

Utilisation of Information Collected

We leverage different categories of user data collected through both voluntary submissions and passive analytics tracking to facilitate, improve and customise various Website capabilities, services and features including:

  • Basic Website operation, troubleshooting and security monitoring
  • Enhancing overall user experience including faster load times and streamlined navigation
  • Personalising displayed content and site functionality to match individual visitors’ preferences, interests and locations
  • Directly responding to comments, questions and requests submitted by users
  • Processing payments, orders, refunds, returns and account issues
  • Providing customised technical support when issues arise
  • Confirming, tracking and fulfilling purchase orders and information requests
  • Distributing update notices, alerts, newsletters and promotional offers
  • Compiling anonymised usage statistics for trend analysis and traffic pattern identification

We will never actively share, sell, trade, rent or intentionally expose any personal user data with external third parties except affiliate advertisers and publicly posted Website comments which are viewable by all visitors. We do not cross-reference or supplement voluntary user submissions with additional info from data brokers or public databases without permission.

Cookie Usage Notice

Like most major commercial websites, the TrippVibes Website relies on standard internet browser cookie technology to collect aggregate usage statistics and personalised site preferences that enhance functionality. Cookies are small text files that websites send to visitors’ devices to uniquely identify repeat users.

With user permission, the Website’s cookies link only to anonymous IDs rather than names or other personal info. Session-based cookies expire once Website browsers are closed while persistent cookies remain active across multiple sessions for saved preferences and site analytics. Users may adjust their browser settings to reject non-essential cookies although doing so will disable multiple Website capabilities.

While our first party cookies only link to internal user IDs, third party affiliate cookies may correlate data across multiple external sites subject to disparate privacy policies. We cannot access or control any cookie data from advertisers and external websites linked to from the Website. Users should carefully review all third party privacy policies before consenting to affiliate site cookies.

Safeguarding Information

We recognise our ethical responsibility to safeguard all types of personal user data utilising contemporary industry standard encryption, firewalls, antivirus programmes and secure data storage mechanisms. We exclusively share information with reputable technology vendors subject to rigorous data protection contracts. Email communications are unencrypted and inherently insecure, so users must not transmit personally identifiable information through email channels.

We retain personal user data only as long as commercially necessary to facilitate Website transactions or until you request information deletion subject to legal considerations. We comply fully with Right to be Forgotten requirements. Users may contact Us at any time to update preferences, request data exports or deletions subject to identity verification. The privacy regulations of England & Wales govern the Policy.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

To provide our services and improve the TrippVibes Website, we may store, process, and transfer the information we collect internationally. This includes potential transfers to countries outside of the United Kingdom where we or our service providers operate. By using our website and services, you explicitly consent to these cross-border data transfers in accordance with this privacy policy.

Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically revise this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or to better serve your needs. Any updates will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this page regularly to stay informed of any changes that may affect you.
