Privacy
The only thing I ask you for is an email address, and only if you join the newsletter. A few outside services load on the site as well, and they see more than I do. This page says which ones, what they see, and how to get your email address removed.
If you join the Postcard Club, I store your email address with Resend, the service that sends the emails. I use it for the welcome email and the monthly postcard, and for nothing else. I don't sell it or hand it to anyone.
Every email has an unsubscribe link. When you use it, your address stays on file marked as unsubscribed, so you don't get added back by accident. If you'd rather I delete it completely, email me and I will.
I don't set any cookies myself. If you use the light and dark toggle, your choice is saved in your browser's local storage as "nm-theme" so the next page opens in the right mode. That stays in your browser. The fonts are served from this site, so loading them doesn't involve a third party.
Netlify hosts the site. To serve a page it sees your IP address, your browser and device details, and which page you asked for, and it keeps standard server logs. That is how any web host works. Netlify's own privacy policy covers what it does with them.
Travelpayouts is the biggest one. Its script loads on every page so it can tell which outbound links are affiliate links and credit clicks to me. While it runs, it sends the address of the page you're on, the page you came from, and basic browser details to Travelpayouts. It sets a cookie called "am_user_session" and an entry in local storage on this domain. It loads more scripts from Travelpayouts and affiliate network domains, and it requests a font stylesheet from Google Fonts, which means Google sees your IP address too.
When you click through to a merchant, that merchant and the affiliate network can set their own cookies, and their privacy policies apply from there. I don't control what those scripts do beyond choosing whether to load them. The guides are text and images, so they read the same if you block the script.
I don't run an analytics tool on this site, so I can't see who reads what.
You can ask me what I have about you, ask me to fix it, or ask me to delete it. Emailmedia@nomadminh.comand I'll answer within a month. The law gives people in the EU, the UK, and California specific rights here, and I'll honor them for anyone, wherever you live. I send the newsletter because you asked for it, and you can withdraw that at any time.
For data held by the outside services above, you'll need to go to them. I can't see or delete what Travelpayouts, Instagram, or Unsplash keep.
This site is written for adults planning trips. I don't knowingly collect anything from children under 13.
If something here changes, I update this page and the date at the bottom. The money side of the site, meaning affiliate links and sponsored work, is on thedisclosure page.
