Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Dave’s Travel World, we have a few fundamental principles:

• We are thoughtful about the personal information we ask you to provide and the personal information that we collect about you through the operation of our web blog.

• We store personal information for only as long as we have a reason to keep it.

• We aim for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share your personal information.

Below is our Privacy Policy, which incorporates and clarifies these principles.

What Does This Policy Cover

This Privacy Policy applies to information that we collect about you when you use our website (DavesTravelWorld.com)

Throughout this Privacy Policy we’ll refer to our website as “Services.”

Below we explain how we collect, use, and share information about you, along with the choices that you have with respect to that information.

Information We Collect

We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so.

The information we collect is limited to the collection of your email address.

How and Why We Use Information

We use information about you solely for the purpose of communicating with you to inform you that new information has been added to our website. This information may be in the form of new website pages, new posts or newsletters.

All information circulated in such communications will relate solely to travel related issues discussed within the website or, in rare instances, to provide you with an updated version of this Privacy Policy.

Legal Bases for Collecting and Using Information

A note here for those in the European Union about our legal grounds for collecting information about you under EU data protection laws, which is that our use of your information is based on the grounds that:

• We have a legitimate interest in using your information to communicate with you.

Sharing Information

No data collected as part of the provision of our Services will be passed on to any third party organisation for the purpose of either commercial or non-commercial usage.

How Long We Keep Information

We will discard information about you when it’s no longer needed for the purposes for which we collect and use it, as described in the section above on How and Why We Use Information

Security

While no online service is 100% secure, we work hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so.

Your Rights

If you are located in certain parts of the world, including some US states and countries that fall under the scope of the European General Data Protection Regulation (aka the “GDPR”), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, like the right to request access to or deletion of your data.

European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are located in a country that falls under the scope of the GDPR, data protection laws give you certain rights with respect to your personal data, subject to any exemptions provided by the law, including the rights to:

• Object to our use and retention of your personal data; and

• Request that we limit our use of your personal data

You also have the right to make a complaint to a government supervisory authority.

US Privacy Laws

Laws in some US states require us to provide residents with additional information about the categories of personal information we collect and share, where we get that personal information, and how and why we use it. You’ll find that information in this section (if you are a California resident, please note that this is the Notice at Collection we are required to provide you under California law).

In the last 12 months we collected the following categories of personal information:

• Identifiers (contact information);

You can find more information about what we collect in the Information We Collect section above.

When you contact us about one of your rights under this section, we’ll need to verify that you are the right person before we disclose or delete anything.

You can also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf by giving us written authorization.
