Privacy Policy
What we collect, what we don't, and how cookies work on Whyfarer.
Overview
Whyfarer ("we", "us") publishes editorial articles about cultural customs around the world at whyfarer.world. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site, and how it's used.
Information we collect
We don't require account registration, and we don't collect personal information through forms — the site doesn't have any. If you email us, we receive whatever information you choose to include in that message.
Our hosting provider (Vercel) automatically logs standard technical data for every visit — such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested — for security and performance purposes. We don't access this data individually; it's part of standard web infrastructure.
Cookies and advertising
This site may display advertising served by Google AdSense and use analytics tools such as Google Analytics. These services can use cookies or similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site and, where advertising is enabled, to show ads based on your visits here and to other sites.
You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time through Google's Ads Settings. For more detail on how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Third-party links
Articles on Whyfarer link to external sources, including Creative Commons license pages and the original pages of the photographers we credit. We aren't responsible for the content or privacy practices of those third-party sites.
Children's privacy
Whyfarer isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you (for example, an email you sent us). To exercise these rights, contact us at whyfarerworld@gmail.com.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
