At TopTenVacation.com (“TopTenVacation,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we respect your privacy and are
committed to being transparent about how we collect, use, and share information. This Privacy
Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, how we use that
information, and the choices you have.

By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and in our
Terms of Use. If you do not agree,
please do not use the site.

Information We Collect

We collect two main types of information:

Email and Contact Information You Provide

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as:

• Email address (for newsletters, travel tips, and marketing communications);
• Any other information you choose to include when you contact us by email or through a form.

We do not collect or store payment information, passport details, or booking
information as first-party data. If you book travel through a third-party provider linked from
our site, any information you provide to that provider is governed by their own privacy policy.

Cookies, Device, and Usage Information

Like most websites, we and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies to collect
certain information automatically when you visit or interact with our site, such as:

• IP address and approximate location;
• Browser type and settings;
• Pages you view and links you click;
• Referring and exit pages;
• Date and time of your visits and general usage patterns.

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Help the site function properly;
• Analyze how visitors use the site;
• Support marketing and retargeting campaigns;
• Track affiliate referrals so our travel partners know that visitors came from our site.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for purposes such as:

• Sending newsletters and promotional emails, when you subscribe;
• Providing travel content, rankings, and recommendations;
• Operating, maintaining, and improving our website and user experience;
• Measuring and understanding the performance of our marketing and affiliate links;
• Protecting the security and integrity of the website and our systems;
• Responding to your questions, requests, or feedback;
• Complying with legal obligations and enforcing our Terms of Use.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your email address to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
However, we may share information in the following limited ways:

Service Providers

We may share information with trusted service providers who perform services on our behalf, such
as:

• Email delivery and newsletter management;
• Analytics and performance measurement;
• Advertising and retargeting platforms;
• Website hosting and security.

These service providers are permitted to use your information only to provide services to us and
are not authorized to use it for their own independent purposes.

Advertising and Affiliate Partners

We earn revenue when users click certain links and complete bookings through our affiliate
partners (for example, travel booking platforms, hotels, or tour providers). To track these
referrals and attribute bookings correctly, we may:

• Use cookies, pixels, and tracking links supplied by affiliate networks and ad platforms;
• Share pseudonymous identifiers or other technical data (for example, a cookie ID) with
  advertising, analytics, or affiliate partners.

Depending on your jurisdiction, this type of data sharing may be considered a “sale” or
“sharing” of personal information or the use of information for “targeted advertising.” Where
required by law, we will honor applicable opt-out or preference signals.

Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes;
• Respond to lawful requests from public or governmental authorities;
• Protect the rights, privacy, safety, or property of TopTenVacation.com, our users, or others;
• Enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements.

Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or a
portion of our business, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, in
which case we will take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient continues to respect your
privacy consistent with this Policy.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help websites remember information about
your visit. We and our partners use cookies and similar tools to:

• Recognize your browser or device;
• Remember your preferences where applicable;
• Understand how visitors use our site;
• Deliver and measure ads, including retargeted ads;
• Track affiliate link performance.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. If you disable some or
all cookies, certain features of the site may not function correctly.

We may also use third-party analytics and advertising tools (for example, tools similar to
Google Analytics or ad networks) that set their own cookies and collect information about your
use of the site over time and across different websites and devices.

Email Marketing and Your Choices

If you provide your email address to subscribe to our newsletter or other communications, we may
send you:

• Travel tips and inspiration;
• Announcements and updates about TopTenVacation.com;
• Promotional messages and special offers from us or our partners.

You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any email
you receive from us or by contacting us at
cs@toptenvacation.com. Even if you opt out of
marketing emails, we may still send you non-promotional messages (for example, responses to your
inquiries).

Third-Party Websites

Our website contains links to third-party travel sites and services. When you click a link and
leave our site, any information you provide is governed by that third party’s privacy policy and
terms, not this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of
those third-party sites, and we encourage you to review their policies carefully.

Children and Minors

Our website is intended for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to use this site. We do
not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we learn that we have
collected information from a child under 18, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. If you
believe we may have collected such information, please contact us at
cs@toptenvacation.com.

Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights under applicable privacy laws, such as
the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we maintain about you;
• Request that we correct or update your information;
• Request that we delete certain information, subject to legal exceptions;
• Opt out of certain types of data sharing or targeted advertising, where applicable.

We will respond to requests in accordance with applicable law. To exercise these rights or make
a privacy-related request, please contact us at
cs@toptenvacation.com. We may take steps to verify
your identity before fulfilling your request.

Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your
information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no Internet transmission or
storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Provide our services and operate the website;
• Maintain business records for legitimate purposes;
• Comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes;
• Enforce our agreements.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last
Updated” date at the bottom of this page. In some cases, we may provide additional notice (such
as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you an email). Your continued use of the site
after any changes become effective means you accept the updated Policy.
