🧡Our Mission

SheBuysTravel’s mission is to bring families together through travel. We believe the best travel guide is another woman, and we share honest, firsthand experiences to help women travel better.

If you ever have a different experience than what we’ve described, please reach out — we want to know.

✨Disclosure Policy

We believe in transparency. When compensation or partnerships influence our content, we tell you.

• Sponsored Posts: Occasionally, we publish posts that include paid links. We only accept partnerships that provide real value to our readers.
• Hosted Stays: Some destinations or hotels may host our writers at reduced or no cost.
• Product Reviews: If we receive a product for free or at a discount, the review will say so.
• Social Media: Sponsored or hosted content on our social channels will be labeled clearly (e.g., #ad).
• Affiliate Links: Some posts contain affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
• Travel Bookings & Deals: We sometimes feature a SheBuysTravel-branded travel deals section or booking tools that let you search and book travel through third-party partners.
  When you make a booking, you are entering into a direct relationship with that third-party provider. SheBuysTravel may receive a commission or fee, but your booking is governed by the provider’s own terms and privacy policy.

🪄 What this means for you:

We only recommend things we use and love — and we’ll always disclose when a link or booking might earn us a commission.

SHEMedia Programmatic Advertising

We work with SHEMedia to manage third-party, interest-based advertising on the Website.

For specific information about SHEMedia, the data they collect and their data collection and privacy policies, please visit the SHEMedia Ad Services Privacy Policy.

• Preferences: Communication choices and travel preferences.

• Device/Usage Information: IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, time spent, and referring website or search engine.
• Geolocation Data (Approximate): Derived from your IP address to understand our overall audience and deliver location-relevant content.
• Inferred Data: Data derived from your activity (such as the content you view), used to understand your likely interests for personalized advertising.

🪄 What this means for you:

We only collect what’s needed to make your experience smooth — and we keep it secure.

🕹️ Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and tracking technologies to:

• Keep the site running efficiently.
• Understand how visitors interact with content.
• Deliver relevant advertising.

We also allow authorized third parties — including analytics and travel booking partners — to use cookies for analytics, conversion tracking, and fraud prevention.

Opt-Out for Targeted Advertising (Consent): For non-essential cookies (like those used for personalized advertising and analytics), we rely on your consent. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, or by using our Cookie Consent Banner to adjust your preferences at any time. Disabling them may affect some features.

🪄 What this means for you:

Cookies help us remember your preferences and improve your experience. You can manage or clear them anytime using your browser or our consent tool.

⚙️ How We Use Information and Legal Basis

We may use your information for the following purposes, based on the corresponding legal basis (required by GDPR):

🤝 Information We Share

We share your data only when necessary to run our services or complete your booking.

• With Service Providers & Agents: We work with trusted companies who help operate our site, process payments, send newsletters, or provide analytics. They’re only authorized to use your data for those specific services.
• With Travel & Booking Partners: When you search for or book travel through SheBuysTravel, your information is shared with third-party booking platforms and travel suppliers (e.g., hotels, car rentals). This is necessary to process and manage your booking.
  Note: Each partner handles your data under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review those policies before completing a booking.
• For Legal or Safety Reasons: We may share information if required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, or property.
• With Your Consent: We’ll always ask before sharing your personal data for any other purpose.
• In a Business Transfer: If SheBuysTravel merges or sells assets, user data may be included as part of that transaction, consistent with this policy.

🪄 What this means for you:

We share your data only when needed — to book your trip, run our site, or comply with the law.

🧒A Special Notice about Children

Children (under the age of 16) are not eligible to use the Website, and we ask that children do not submit any personal information to us. If you are under the age of 18, you may only use this Website in conjunction with, and under the supervision of, your parents or guardians.

✉️Email Communications

We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. We use this confirmation to improve our customer service.

🔒 Data Retention and Security

We keep personal data only as long as needed to provide services, fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or meet legal requirements.

• Examples: We retain marketing subscription information until you unsubscribe and transaction data for seven (7) years for tax purposes.
• We use industry-standard safeguards to protect information against loss, misuse, or unauthorized access.

🪄 What this means for you:

Your information is stored securely, and we don’t keep it longer than necessary.

🌍 Third-Party Links and Booking Partners

Our Website includes links, widgets, and booking tools that connect to third-party travel services.

When you click or book through these tools:

• The third-party collects your data under its own privacy policy.
• SheBuysTravel does not control their data handling practices.

We encourage you to read each provider’s terms and privacy statement before completing a reservation.

The Website may also contain links to other websites. These links and plug-ins are for your convenience. Websites linked to and from the Website are not necessarily under the control of SheBuysTravel and we shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the content or privacy practices of any linked websites, or any link or linking program at any time.

SheBuysTravel hereby disclaims any rights to trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, copyrights, patents, domain names, or other intellectual property interests of third parties.

🪄 What this means for you:

When you use a booking tool or travel link, your data is handled directly by that provider — not by SheBuysTravel.

🧭 Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your data. You can:

• Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time.
• Request access, correction, or deletion of your data.
• Opt out of data sharing for marketing purposes.
• Withdraw consent where applicable (your prior consent remains lawful until withdrawn).

🌐 International, GDPR & California Rights

GDPR (EU/UK)

You have rights to access, correct, erase, or restrict your personal data and to data portability. SheBuysTravel acts as a data controller for data collected on this site; our booking partners act as independent controllers for bookings.

California (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents can request details about personal data collected and shared, or ask for deletion. Because we utilize third-party advertising partners, the sharing of certain data (like cookie IDs) may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CPRA.

Right to Opt-Out of Sharing: To exercise your right to opt-out, please click the “Consent Preferences” link above or enable an Opt-Out Preference Signal (Global Privacy Control) on your browser.

🔄 Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect new features, partnerships, or legal requirements.

When we make changes, we’ll update the “Effective Date” above.

Your continued use of the Website after an update means you accept the revised policy.
