Information We May Collect

Depending on how you use the website, information may include:

information you voluntarily provide when contacting or communicating with joywanderings;
technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, and similar data;
information about interactions with the website, such as pages viewed and website activity; and
information collected through cookies or similar technologies.

You are not required to provide personal information simply to view publicly available content, except for technical information processed as necessary to deliver, operate, and secure the website.

How and Why Information Is Used

Personal information may be processed for the following purposes and legal bases:

Operating, maintaining, and securing the website
Information may be processed where necessary for the legitimate interests of operating, protecting, troubleshooting, and improving the website.

Responding to communications
If you contact joywanderings, information you provide may be processed as necessary to respond to your communication or request. Depending on the circumstances, this may be based on legitimate interests or steps taken at your request.

Analytics, preferences, and optional website features
Where required by law, personal information collected through non-essential cookies or similar technologies is processed on the basis of your consent.

Legal obligations
Information may be processed when necessary to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

Where processing relies on legitimate interests, those interests are considered against the rights and interests of affected individuals.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate and may be used without consent where permitted by law.

Other cookies or technologies, including those used for analytics, advertising, personalization, or similar purposes, will be used only with consent where consent is legally required.

The website's consent-management tools allow visitors to accept, reject, or manage applicable cookie preferences. Consent may be changed or withdrawn through those tools.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

Website Platform and Service Providers

This website is created and hosted using Wix.

Wix and other service providers used to operate or support the website may process personal information in connection with services such as hosting, security, consent management, analytics, communications, embedded content, advertising, or other website functionality.

Personal information is shared only where reasonably necessary to provide these services, where required by law, or where another lawful basis permits the disclosure.

Third-party providers are subject to their own legal obligations and applicable privacy terms.

External Links and Third-Party Services

This website may contain links to or content from third-party websites, platforms, services, partners, advertisers, affiliates, or other external resources.

Following an external link or interacting with a third-party service may allow that third party to collect or process information independently.

joywanderings does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties. Visitors should review the privacy information provided by those services where appropriate.

Advertising, Affiliates, Partnerships, and Similar Services

joywanderings may currently or in the future use advertising, affiliate relationships, sponsorships, partnerships, or similar services.

If these activities involve personal information or non-essential tracking technologies, information will be processed in accordance with applicable privacy requirements, including consent requirements where applicable.

Relevant commercial relationships will be disclosed where required.

International Data Transfers

Because joywanderings, Wix, and other service providers may operate in different countries, personal information may be processed outside the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or the country in which a visitor resides.

Where applicable data-protection law restricts international transfers, transfers will be made using a legally recognized transfer mechanism or safeguard, such as an adequacy decision, approved contractual safeguards, or another mechanism permitted by applicable law.

Information about applicable transfer safeguards may be requested using the contact information in this policy.

How Long Information Is Kept

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for any additional period required or permitted by law.

The appropriate retention period depends on the nature of the information, why it was collected, applicable legal requirements, and whether it is reasonably necessary for security, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, or similar legitimate purposes.

Information is deleted or anonymized when it is no longer reasonably necessary, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, where applicable, these may include the right to:

access personal information;
correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
request deletion of personal information;
request restriction of processing;
object to certain processing;
receive certain information in a portable format where applicable; and
withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing lawfully carried out before consent was withdrawn.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data-protection supervisory authority responsible for your location or otherwise competent under applicable law.

Other privacy rights may apply depending on where you live.

Requests regarding personal information may be submitted to joywanderings@protonmail.com.

Automated Decision-Making

joywanderings does not use personal information collected through this website to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on visitors.

Security

Reasonable measures are used to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time as the website, services, technologies, or applicable requirements change.
