WHO WE ARE

Our website address is: https://smarttravel.family. There is indeed no “.com” or “.org” at the end, just “.family”. We got ourselves one of those new fancy domains!

COMMENTS

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH

Any data provided in this website is not shared by us with any third party. Period. We hate email spam just as much as you do.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

WHAT RIGHTS YOU HAVE OVER YOUR DATA

If you have left comments, you can request that we erase these comments. Any such requests cannot include any data we are obliged to keep for legal purposes.

WHERE YOUR DATA IS SENT

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We use Akismet as the industry standard.
