Privacy Policy

Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy explains how BaggageBase collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit baggagebase.com, use our contact forms, subscribe to communications, or interact with advertising and analytics services.

Information we collect

Information you provide

We may collect your name, email address, message content, URLs you submit, communication preferences, and other information you voluntarily provide through contact forms or correspondence. Do not send passport numbers, payment card details, account passwords, or other sensitive travel credentials.

Information collected automatically

Our website and service providers may collect IP address, browser and device information, approximate location, referring pages, pages viewed, timestamps, interactions, cookie identifiers, and diagnostic or security data.

How we use information

• Operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website.
• Respond to questions, corrections, privacy requests, and business inquiries.
• Measure readership, site performance, and content usefulness.
• Detect spam, fraud, abuse, technical failures, and security threats.
• Display, measure, and manage advertising where enabled.
• Comply with applicable law and enforce our site terms.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

BaggageBase and third-party providers may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, IP addresses, local storage, and similar technologies for essential site functions, analytics, fraud prevention, advertising, and preference management.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s advertising cookies may enable Google and its partners to provide personalized or non-personalized advertising, depending on user choices, regional requirements, and our settings.

Users can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings and may also use industry opt-out tools where available. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some website features may not work as intended.

How information may be shared

We may share information with:

• Hosting, security, analytics, email, form-processing, advertising, and technical service providers.
• Professional advisers or authorities when reasonably necessary to comply with law or protect rights and safety.
• A successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or transfer of website assets.

We do not sell personal information for money. Certain advertising disclosures may be treated as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws.

Data retention and security

We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, legal obligations, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, and site security. No transmission or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection; to withdraw consent; or to opt out of certain targeted advertising or data sharing. We may need to verify your request and may retain information where permitted or required by law.

Submit a request to contact@baggagebase.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.”

Children’s privacy

BaggageBase is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information through the site.

International visitors and policy changes

Information may be processed in countries where our service providers operate and where privacy protections may differ. We may update this policy to reflect changes in law, technology, vendors, or website practices. The effective date above identifies the current version.
