Mailchimp may also collect information about interactions with emails, such as whether an email was opened or a link was clicked, depending on its settings and the technologies available.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails.
Unsubscribing from marketing emails does not necessarily require us or our service providers to immediately delete all records associated with your prior subscription where retention is necessary for legal, administrative, suppression-list, or compliance purposes.
Affiliate Links
Touristish participates in affiliate marketing programs.
Some links on the Site may contain tracking information that allows a third-party affiliate network, retailer, booking platform, or other provider to determine that a visitor was referred by Touristish.
If you click an affiliate link, the applicable third party may use cookies or similar technologies and may collect information in accordance with its own privacy practices.
Touristish may receive a commission if you make a qualifying booking or purchase through an affiliate link, at no additional cost to you.
For additional information, please see our Disclaimer.

Depending on your privacy choices and applicable law, advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure, or personalize advertisements.
Third-party advertising providers are responsible for their own privacy practices.

Touristish contains links to third-party websites and services, including hotels, vacation rentals, booking platforms, attractions, retailers, restaurants, tour operators, airlines, social media services, and other businesses.
When you follow a link to a third-party website, that company’s privacy policy and practices apply.
Touristish is not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of third-party websites or services.
Embedded Content
Some Touristish pages may contain content or functionality provided by third parties, such as videos, maps, social media content, or other embedded services.
Interacting with embedded content may allow the third-party provider to collect information about you, use cookies or similar technologies, or track your interaction with that content according to its own privacy practices and your applicable consent choices.

Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
Touristish does not sell personal information to data brokers for money.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing requested services, maintaining business and compliance records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and satisfying legal obligations.

Third-party service providers may maintain information according to their own retention policies.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information associated with Touristish.
However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.
