Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Visit Thailand Today ("we", "our", or "the site") is a travel directory for Thailand. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website.

2. Data we collect

• Place submissions. When you suggest a place (name, category, region, address, website, Google Maps link, description), we store this so we can review and potentially add it to the directory. If you provide your name and email, we use them only to follow up about your submission (e.g. if we have questions). Providing name and email is optional.
• Itinerary data. If you use the Itinerary Builder and save your trip, we store your itinerary (title, days, places) so you can view or share it. If you sign in (e.g. via Supabase), we associate the itinerary with your account; otherwise it is stored with a share link only.
• Technical data. Our hosting and analytics (e.g. Google Analytics 4) may collect IP address, browser type, device information, and similar technical data. We use this to understand how the site is used and to improve it. We do not sell this data.

3. How we use your data

We use submission data to review and publish places in the directory and to contact you about your submission if needed. We use itinerary data to provide the planning and sharing features. We use technical data to operate and improve the site and to prevent abuse.

Lawful basis (EU/UK): For submissions, we process place details and optional contact details on the basis of your consent (by submitting the form). For necessary technical processing (e.g. security, logs), we rely on legitimate interests.

4. Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with service providers who help us run the site (e.g. hosting, database). If you click affiliate links (e.g. to booking sites), those third parties have their own privacy policies.

5. Retention

We keep submission data for as long as needed to review and maintain the directory; we may retain anonymised or aggregated information longer. Itinerary data is kept until you delete it or we remove inactive data per our internal policy. Server logs are typically retained for a limited period.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your data, or to object to or restrict processing. To exercise these rights, contact us (see below). You can also withdraw consent for optional contact details by asking us to remove your name/email from a submission.

7. Cookies

We use cookies that are strictly necessary to operate the site (e.g. session or authentication). We use Google Analytics 4, which may set cookies and similar technologies to measure traffic and usage. We do not use advertising cookies. You can opt out of Google Analytics via browser add-ons (e.g. Google Analytics Opt-out) or your browser settings. If we introduce additional analytics or preference cookies in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent.

8. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your data (e.g. HTTPS, access controls). No system is completely secure; we encourage you to avoid sending sensitive data through the submission form beyond what is needed.

9. Changes and contact

We may update this policy from time to time; the "Last updated" date at the top will change. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy. For questions or to exercise your rights, contact us via the details on our homepage or in our Terms of Use.
