Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 26, 2026

Hospitality Traveler ("we," "us," or "our") publishes travel, hospitality, and lifestyle content at https://www.hospitalitytraveler.com (the "Site"). This policy explains how information may be collected, used, and shared when you visit the Site or contact us.

Information we collect

Information you provide. If you use our contact or partnership inquiry form, email us, or otherwise communicate with us, we may receive your name, email address, organization, and the information you choose to send. If we offer an email subscription, we collect the address and preferences you provide when you sign up.

Information collected automatically. The Site and its service providers may receive your IP address, approximate location, browser and device details, referring pages, pages viewed, and the time and manner of your visit. Squarespace, which hosts the Site, uses cookies and similar technologies for site operation and analytics. Other tools we choose to enable may also use such technologies.

Affiliate links and outside sites. Some links to hotels, tours, travel services, or products may be affiliate links. An affiliate network or merchant may use cookies or other identifiers to record a click, attribute a booking or purchase, and calculate a commission. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy policies. We do not receive your payment card details when you buy from those sites.

How we use information

We use information to operate and secure the Site; respond to inquiries; discuss editorial or partnership opportunities; understand how visitors use our content; maintain records; and comply with applicable obligations. If you separately sign up for marketing emails, we may send them to you, and you can unsubscribe using the link in the message or by contacting us.

How information is shared

We may share information with providers that help us host and operate the Site, deliver forms or email, measure site traffic, and manage affiliate links. When you follow a link to another site, that site may collect information directly. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a transfer of the Site or its business. We do not sell contact-form submissions as mailing lists.

Cookies and your choices

Your browser may let you block or delete cookies. If a cookie banner or preferences control appears on the Site, use it to manage the categories it offers. Blocking some cookies may affect site features. You can also avoid affiliate tracking by not following affiliate links. Unsubscribing from marketing emails does not prevent a response to an inquiry you sent us.

Retention and security

We keep information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes above, including responding to inquiries and meeting legal or recordkeeping needs, then delete or de-identify it when appropriate. We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no online transmission or storage method is completely secure.

Your privacy requests

You may contact us to ask about, correct, or request deletion of personal information you have provided. We will respond as required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity. Rights and exceptions vary by location.

Changes

We may update this policy as the Site and our practices change. The updated date above will show when this page was last revised. Material changes may also be announced on the Site.
