Privacy Policy

Indie Travel Guides is a public travel directory that organizes links to independent hotel guides, travel blogs, guide sites, and YouTube channels by destination. This policy explains what information may be processed when you use the site.

You can browse Indie Travel Guides without creating an account. If you contact us through the Contact page, we may process the information you choose to provide so we can review and respond to your request.

The site is hosted on Vercel. Like most web hosting providers, hosting infrastructure may process technical request information, such as IP address, device and browser details, requested URLs, timestamps, diagnostics, and security signals. This information is used to deliver the site, troubleshoot issues, protect the service, and understand aggregate site performance.

Indie Travel Guides does not currently require visitor accounts and does not intentionally use first-party advertising cookies. If analytics, advertising, affiliate tracking, or similar tools are added later, this policy should be updated before those tools are enabled.

Destination pages may embed YouTube videos using YouTube's privacy-enhanced embed domain. Embedded videos are still provided by YouTube and Google, and those services may process information about your interaction with embedded videos under their own policies.

The site links to third-party websites, blogs, hotel guide sites, and video platforms. We do not control those websites, and their own privacy policies apply when you visit them.

Information processed in connection with the site may be used to operate and secure the website, respond to contact requests, review corrections or source suggestions, improve directory quality, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not sell visitor personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that help host, deliver, secure, or maintain the site. We may also disclose information if required to comply with law, protect rights, investigate abuse, or maintain site security.

We keep information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose it was processed, including site operation, security, correspondence, recordkeeping, and legal compliance.

You can avoid submitting information through the Contact page. You can also use browser settings to manage cookies, storage, and third-party embeds, although some site features may not work the same way if browser protections block embedded content.

Indie Travel Guides is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

The site may be accessed from different countries, and hosting or service providers may process information in multiple locations. Local privacy rights may vary depending on where you live.

We may update this Privacy Policy as the site, data practices, or legal requirements change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.

Privacy questions and requests should be sent through the Contact page.
