1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how THE WORLD AGENCY OFFICIAL LLC, trading as The World Agency Official, handles personal information collected through this website and any related services. It applies to visitors, newsletter subscribers and anyone who contacts us directly.
By using this site you accept the practices described here. If you do not agree with them, please do not continue to use the site or submit information to us.
2. Information we collect
We collect information in a small number of ways: information you provide directly, information collected automatically as you browse, and information received from third parties such as analytics or advertising partners.
- Contact details, such as name and email address, when you subscribe to a newsletter or send an enquiry
- Technical information, such as browser type, device type, approximate location and pages viewed
- Usage information, such as time spent on pages, links clicked and referring sites
- Correspondence you send us, including any attachments
3. Purposes and lawful bases
We use personal information to operate the site, respond to enquiries, send requested newsletters, understand how content is used, prevent misuse and comply with legal obligations. Where applicable data protection law requires a lawful basis, we rely on consent, legitimate interests, or the performance of a request you have made, depending on the context.
- Consent, for optional communications such as newsletters
- Legitimate interests, for site analytics and security
- Contractual necessity, when responding to a specific request
- Legal obligation, where retention or disclosure is required by law
4. Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, after which it is deleted or anonymised. Correspondence is generally retained for a limited period to allow for follow-up, and analytics data is generally retained in aggregated or pseudonymised form.
5. Sharing with third parties
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with service providers who help us run the site, such as hosting, email delivery and analytics providers, under arrangements that require them to protect it appropriately. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our rights or the safety of others.
6. International transfers
Because our service providers may operate in different countries, personal information may be transferred outside the country in which you are located. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure the information continues to be protected consistently with this policy.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of it, the right to object to certain processing, and the right to data portability. Residents of certain jurisdictions, including the European Economic Area and the state of California, may have additional statutory rights of a similar nature, including the right to know what information is held and the right to opt out of certain sharing.
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct or delete inaccurate or unnecessary information
- Object to, or ask us to restrict, certain processing
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent
8. Children
This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that it can be removed.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Material changes will be reflected by updating the review date shown below.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically, since travel content and the tools we use to deliver it can change over time, which may in turn affect how information is collected or used.
Where we use analytics tools, they typically report information in aggregate form, helping us understand which destinations and guides are most useful to readers, rather than tracking individuals by name.
If you choose to subscribe to a newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in each message, or by contacting us directly. Unsubscribing stops future messages but does not remove records needed to demonstrate that consent was withdrawn.
We do not use personal information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.
If you contact us with a request relating to your rights, we may need to verify your identity before acting on it, to ensure information is not disclosed to the wrong person.
