This Privacy Policy explains what information Slow Travel S.Korea (https://iamsittingat.com) collects when you visit, how it is used, and what choices you have. The site is a personal travel blog written by JK. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information I Collect
I do not ask visitors to create an account. The information collected falls into two groups:
- Information you send me. If you email me or use the contact page, I receive your name, email address, and whatever you write in your message. I use it only to reply to you.
- Information collected automatically. Like most websites, this site and its service providers may collect your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring page, and the date and time of your visit.
2. Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored on your device. This site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand how readers use the site, and show advertising. I use Google Analytics, set up through the Site Kit by Google plugin, to see which pages are read and where visitors come from. This data is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may work less smoothly if you do.
3. Advertising (Google AdSense)
This site may display ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also visit www.aboutads.info to opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising.
- To learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
I do not control the cookies set by advertisers, and I do not have access to the information they collect.
4. Affiliate Links
Some posts contain affiliate links to travel booking and other partner services. If you click one of these links, the partner may place a cookie on your device so that a purchase can be credited to this site. I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. The partner’s own privacy policy applies once you leave this site. See the Disclosure page for details.
5. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content
Posts may link to other websites or embed content such as maps, images, or videos. These third parties may collect data about you according to their own policies. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites.
6. How Information Is Used
- To run, maintain, and improve the site and its content
- To understand which topics readers find useful
- To reply to messages sent to me
- To show relevant advertising and track affiliate referrals
- To keep the site secure and prevent spam or abuse
I do not sell your personal information.
7. Data Retention and Security
Messages sent to me are kept only as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record keeping. Analytics and advertising data are retained according to the settings and policies of Google and the other providers. The site is hosted on a managed hosting service and uses security tools to protect against abuse, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
8. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information held about you, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, email me at the address below. California residents may also opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information; this site does not sell personal information, but advertising cookies described above may count as sharing under some laws, which you can control through the opt-out links in Section 3.
9. Children
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent me information, please contact me and I will delete it.
10. Changes to This Policy
I may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it last changed. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
