This Privacy Policy explains what information PlanYourSpainTrip.com ("we," "our," or "us") collects when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. We've tried to keep this straightforward — no dense legalese.
Who we are
PlanYourSpainTrip.com is an independent travel content site and AI trip-planning tool focused on Spain. You can reach us at our contact page or by email at hello@planyourspaintrip.com.
What information we collect
Information you provide
If you use our AI trip planner, contact form, or newsletter, we may collect information you voluntarily give us, such as your email address, the destinations you're interested in, and your travel preferences. We only use this information to provide the service you requested.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our site, our hosting provider and analytics tools may automatically collect:
- Your IP address and approximate location (country/region)
- Browser type and device information
- Pages you visit and how long you stay
- The referring website that brought you here
Cookies and tracking technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how our site is used and to enable certain features. The main categories are:
- Essential cookies — required for the site to function.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand which content is useful (e.g. Google Analytics or similar).
- Affiliate tracking cookies — when you click a partner link (such as Booking.com, GetYourGuide, DiscoverCars, or a TravelPayouts-powered link), the partner may set a cookie to attribute any resulting booking to our site.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Doing so may limit some functionality.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This does not influence our recommendations — we only link to providers we believe are useful for readers planning a trip to Spain. See our full Affiliate Disclosure for details.
How we use information
- To deliver and improve the content and tools on our site
- To respond to questions or feedback you send us
- To understand which guides and topics are useful to readers
- To attribute affiliate-driven bookings (we see aggregate conversion data only, not your personal payment details)
- To comply with legal obligations
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We share limited data only with:
- Service providers we use to run the site (hosting, analytics, email delivery)
- Affiliate partners when you click their links — your interaction is then governed by their privacy policies
- Authorities if legally required
Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under the EU/UK GDPR and the California CCPA), you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Opt out of marketing communications at any time
To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@planyourspaintrip.com.
Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as needed to serve the purpose it was collected for, or as required by law. Analytics data is typically retained in aggregated form.
Children's privacy
Our site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Third-party links
Our site links to external websites (travel partners, official tourism sites, booking platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the current version. Significant changes will be announced on the site.
