Privacy & Cookie Policy

This policy describes information associated with use of Explorney, why it may be processed and the choices available to visitors.

Scope

This policy applies to Explorney website pages and browser-based features. Third-party websites, maps, advertisements, affiliate merchants and other external services apply their own privacy terms.

Information processed automatically

Hosting, security and delivery systems may process technical records such as IP address, request date and time, requested URL, referrer, browser or device information, response status and security events. These records support website delivery, abuse prevention, troubleshooting and security.

Browser-based features

Saved Destinations and Trip Planner information is designed to be stored in the visitor’s browser. It is not an account service. Clearing browser storage, using private browsing or changing devices may remove or make that information unavailable.

Maps and external resources

When a map or external resource is loaded, the relevant provider may receive technical information including the visitor’s IP address and requested resource. OpenStreetMap-related infrastructure and any linked map provider operate under their own policies.

Cookies and similar technologies

The website may use strictly necessary cookies or local storage for security, preferences and browser-based features. Analytics, advertising or affiliate measurement technologies will be described and, where required, controlled before they are enabled. Browser settings may block or clear these technologies, but some functions may then work differently.

Information sent voluntarily

Information voluntarily submitted through a configured contact-form service will be used to review and respond to that communication, protect the website, keep necessary records and comply with law. The form provider may process the submission according to its disclosed privacy terms.

Purpose, disclosure and retention

Information is processed only for relevant operational, security, communication, compliance and service-improvement purposes. It may be handled by hosting, security, delivery or professional service providers where reasonably necessary, and may be disclosed when required by law. Records are retained only as reasonably needed for their purpose, legal obligations, security or dispute handling.

Security

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information under the website’s control. No internet transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure, and visitors should not send passwords, payment details or sensitive identity documents.

Children’s privacy

Explorney is a general travel-information website and is not directed at children for the collection of personal data. A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information may use the published privacy contact channel when available.

Privacy choices and requests

Visitors can clear browser-stored Saved Destinations and Trip Planner data through relevant controls or browser settings. A role-based privacy contact channel will be published before direct enquiry collection is enabled. Requests are handled subject to identity verification, applicable law and lawful exceptions.

Policy changes

This policy may be updated when website functions, service providers or legal requirements change. The version displayed on this page applies from its stated effective date.

Effective date: 31 July 2026
