Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy applies to swaggertravels.com, operated by Swagger Travels LLC (“Swagger Travels,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Our business contact details are 409 3rd St SW, Washington, DC 20024, USA; email: info@swaggertravels.com; telephone: +1 202 646 0334.

2. Scope and information practices

This website is an editorial and informational travel publication. The current website does not offer user accounts, process bookings or payments, or transmit its contact form entries to a Swagger Travels application server. The information described below reflects the website functionality currently deployed. If we add accounts, bookings, payments, newsletters, analytics, advertising, or other services, we will update this Policy and any required notices before or when those features are introduced.

3. Information you choose to provide

If you email us, call us, or otherwise contact us, we receive the information you choose to share. This may include your name, email address, telephone number, the content of your message, and any attachments. We use it to respond, handle requests or corrections, maintain business correspondence, and protect or exercise legal rights where appropriate.

The website contact form currently prepares a message in your device’s email application using a mailto: link. It does not itself submit the form to our server. Your email provider will process the message if you choose to send it, and its own privacy terms will apply.

4. Information collected automatically

When you request a page, our website hosting provider and related infrastructure may automatically receive technical information needed to deliver, secure, and troubleshoot the website. Depending on the host’s configuration, this may include your IP address, date and time of the request, requested URL, referring page, browser and device information, and server error or security logs. We do not control the host’s precise log fields or retention periods; those are governed by the provider’s configuration and policies.

5. Cookies and local browser storage

The current site uses browser localStorage to remember your cookie preference, including whether you accepted or rejected optional categories. This is not, technically, a browser cookie, and the preference is stored locally on your device by the site’s JavaScript. The current build does not load an analytics provider, advertising network, social-media tracking pixel, or behavioural advertising technology. See our Cookie Policy for more detail.

6. Purposes and legal grounds

We use information to operate and secure the website, respond to communications, maintain records, and comply with legal obligations. Where applicable law requires a legal basis, the basis may include your request or consent, our legitimate business interests in operating the publication and responding to enquiries, or compliance with a legal obligation. We do not use contact messages for unrelated marketing unless you separately ask to receive it or we otherwise have a lawful basis.

7. How information may be shared

We do not sell personal information for money. We may disclose information to service providers that support website hosting, email, communications, security, or technical maintenance, but only as reasonably necessary for their services. We may also disclose information where required by law, in response to valid legal process, to protect people or property, or in connection with a business reorganisation, subject to applicable law. The current static website does not integrate third-party analytics or advertising services.

8. Retention and security

We retain correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal requirements. Technical logs are retained according to the hosting provider’s settings and applicable requirements. We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the nature of the information, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Your privacy rights

Privacy rights depend on where you live and whether a particular law applies to our business and the information involved. Depending on applicable law, you may be entitled to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information; obtain a portable copy; opt out of certain processing such as targeted advertising, sale, or certain profiling; or appeal a decision on a privacy request. Some state laws also provide rights to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information. We do not currently sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.

These rights may arise under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, and privacy laws in other states, including Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, and other jurisdictions where applicable. The existence and scope of a right depend on statutory thresholds, exemptions, and the facts of the request; this list is not a representation that every state law applies to Swagger Travels LLC.

To submit a request, email info@swaggertravels.com with the subject “Privacy Request.” Please identify the right you wish to exercise and provide enough information for us to understand and verify the request. We may ask for reasonable additional information to verify your identity or authority, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law. You may use an authorised agent where the relevant law permits, subject to verification requirements. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

10. California notices

For California residents, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, may provide rights to know, access, correct, and delete certain personal information, and to opt out of sale or sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising, subject to statutory definitions and exceptions. We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration and the current site does not use cross-context behavioural advertising. We do not knowingly collect or process sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about individuals. California residents may submit a request using the contact details below.

11. Children’s privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to review and delete it where required by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and other applicable law.

12. External websites and international visitors

Our articles may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy or security practices; review their policies before providing information. Our business is based in the United States. If you access the site from another country, information may be processed in the United States or other locations used by our service providers, subject to applicable law.

13. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes to the website, our practices, or applicable law. The effective date at the top indicates when this version was published. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
