  • Any form of user interaction with our platform.

This policy does not apply to third-party websites or services that TravelTicker does not own or control.

We may collect the following when you create an account or interact with us:

  • Name and email address
  • Username and password

When you visit our site, we may collect:

  • IP address and browser type
  • Device information and operating system
  • Cookies and usage data
  • Pages visited, timestamps, and interactions

We use this information in aggregate form to improve website functionality, analyze traffic trends, and prevent abuse. This data is not used to personally identify you.

We do not store analytics data on our own servers, and all data is anonymized. You can opt out using Google’s opt-out tool.

We may send you service-related or account-related emails. If you open or interact with these emails, we may receive a confirmation for internal use (e.g., improving communication relevance).

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in each message.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies for:

  • Session management
  • Authentication and login persistence
  • Analyzing website usage
  • Improving your user experience

Cookies do not collect personally identifiable information. You can disable cookies via your browser settings, but some features may be limited as a result. See our Cookies Policy for details.

Your personal information may be used to:

  • Provide and improve our services

We do not sell or rent your data to third parties.

7. When We Share Data

We share personal data only in these circumstances:

  • With your consent: when explicitly authorized by you
  • Legal compliance: to comply with laws, regulations, or enforce our Terms of Service
  • Protection of rights: to prevent fraud, protect our users, or defend legal claims

User profile information (e.g., username or display name) may be visible to other users in areas of the site where interaction is part of the core functionality (e.g., discussion threads or group pages).

8. Security of Your Data

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal data using:

  • Secure account passwords (you should use a strong, unique password)
  • Encrypted connections (HTTPS)
  • Limited access to sensitive data
  • Secure data storage practices

However, no system is 100% secure. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials safe.

You may access, update, or delete your personal data by logging into your account or contacting us. You may also:

  • Request deletion of your account via email
  • Opt out of marketing communications at any time
  • Set browser controls to reject cookies
  • Review and change preferences in your account settings

Some residual data may remain in our backups for a limited time after deletion, for legal or security reasons.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review the privacy policies of those websites separately.

11. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes may be announced on our website or via email.

Continued use of our services after changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
