Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 10, 2026

The short version: TravelShifu collects almost nothing. No accounts, no trackers beyond anonymized analytics, no sale of data — ever. If you subscribe, we hold your email until you unsubscribe.

What information does TravelShifu collect?

TravelShifu is designed to work without accounts. We collect: (1) information you give us voluntarily — your email address if you subscribe to our newsletter; (2) standard technical data such as anonymized analytics events (pages viewed, approximate region, device type); and (3) affiliate attribution cookies set by partners when you click outbound links. We never see or store your payment details — bookings happen on partner sites.

How is my information used?

Email addresses are used solely to send the newsletter you requested — one email per week, with one-click unsubscribe. Analytics data is used in aggregate to improve content and site performance. Affiliate cookies exist only so partners can attribute referrals; they are governed by each partner's own privacy policy.

Do you sell or share my data?

No. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information. Data is shared only with service providers strictly necessary to operate the site (email service provider, analytics processor), each bound by data-processing agreements, and where required by law.

What cookies does this site use?

TravelShifu itself uses only functional storage (for example, remembering your language and currency preferences) and privacy-respecting analytics. Third-party affiliate partners may set attribution cookies when you click their links; you can block these via your browser settings without affecting site functionality.

What are my rights (GDPR / CCPA)?

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, and to opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" of data (which we do not do in any case). To exercise any right, email [email protected] — we respond within 30 days. EEA/UK residents may also lodge a complaint with their supervisory authority.

How long is data retained?

Newsletter emails are kept until you unsubscribe, then deleted within 30 days. Analytics events are anonymized or deleted after 14 months. Local browser storage (such as the newsletter stub) remains on your device until you clear it and never reaches our servers.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be announced on this page with a revised "last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
