Privacy Policy

At Travel With Barny, your privacy is not just a checkbox — it’s a promise. We value the trust you place in us and are committed to protecting your personal data with transparency, respect, and care.

1. Information We Collect

When you explore or make a purchase on our site, we may collect the following types of information:

• Personal information such as your name, email address, and billing details during checkout.
• Non-personal information such as device data, browser type, and pages visited — used to improve your experience.
• Email addresses provided when you subscribe to our newsletter or join “The Journey Club.”

We collect this data only when it’s necessary to deliver your order, improve our website, or communicate updates you’ve asked for.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Process purchases, payments, and send digital downloads or confirmation emails.
• Provide customer support and handle refund or access inquiries.
• Send newsletters, travel stories, and product updates — only if you’ve opted in.
• Improve our content, design, and user experience through anonymous analytics data.

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we rely on the following legal bases to process your data:

• Contractual necessity – to process your purchase or deliver your digital guide.
• Legitimate interest – to maintain and improve our website and customer experience.
• Consent – for newsletter subscriptions and marketing emails (you can unsubscribe anytime).

4. Data Storage & Security

Your information is securely stored through trusted third-party services such as Shopify, which complies with PCI-DSS standards, and Klaviyo, our GDPR-compliant email partner. We regularly review our security practices to ensure your data remains safe from unauthorized access or misuse.

5. Cookies & Tracking

Cookies are small files stored on your device to enhance your browsing experience. We use them to remember preferences, analyze traffic, and improve our content. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not function properly.

We also use analytics tools like Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our pages and improve our storytelling.

6. Email & Communication

If you choose to receive our emails, we’ll occasionally send travel inspiration, new product launches, or updates. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking “Unsubscribe” at the bottom of any email — no hard feelings.

You have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data.
• Ask for corrections or deletions of your information.
• Withdraw your consent at any time.
• Complain to your local data protection authority if you believe your rights are violated.

8. Third-Party Links

Occasionally, our site or blog may include affiliate links to trusted travel partners (e.g., Booking.com, TravelPayouts). Clicking on these may earn us a small commission — at no extra cost to you. We only recommend services we personally trust and use.
