This privacy policy explains how Cinematic Travel Guide (cinematictravelguide.com) collects and uses personal data.
Who is responsible
The site is run by Tobias, who can be contacted at cinematictravelguide@gmail.com.
What data is collected
- Contact: if you email me, I receive your name, email address and the content of your message.
- Newsletter: if you sign up, I store your email address to send you updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- Comments: if you leave a comment, your name, email address, IP address and browser information are stored to help detect spam. An anonymised string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to see if you use it and to show your profile picture next to your comment.
- Cookies and analytics: the site uses cookies to function and, with your consent, to measure visits. You can change your cookie choices at any time via the cookie banner.
- Embedded content: articles may include embedded videos or posts from sites such as YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. Embedded content behaves as if you visited that site directly, and those sites may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interaction with the content.
- Affiliate links: when you click an affiliate link, the partner site may set cookies to register that you came from this site. Their own privacy policies apply.
Why data is used, and the legal basis
- Answering your messages: legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
- Sending the newsletter: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time.
- Analytics and non-essential cookies: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)).
- Running, securing and improving the site, handling comments and preventing spam: legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
- Tracking affiliate referrals: your consent to the related cookies (Art. 6(1)(a)).
Sharing
Personal data is never sold. It may be processed by services that help run the site, such as the web host (Hostinger), email services (Google/Gmail), newsletter tools and comment spam protection.
Transfers outside the EU
Some of these services, and some affiliate partners, may process data outside the EU/EEA, for example in the United States. Where this happens, the transfer is based on safeguards such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
How long data is kept
- Emails: as long as needed to handle your request.
- Newsletter: until you unsubscribe.
- Comments: kept indefinitely so they stay visible, unless you ask for them to be deleted.
- Cookies: for the period shown in the cookie banner.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to receive a copy of it (data portability), to object to or restrict its use, and to withdraw consent at any time. Contact cinematictravelguide@gmail.com to use these rights. You can also complain to the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet).
