Hey there—welcome to MySpecialVacation.com. We’re genuinely glad you found us. Whether you’re dreaming of your next getaway, diving into travel tips, or drooling over our food guides, we want you to feel safe while you’re here. And that includes being crystal clear about your privacy.
So, this isn’t one of those unreadable, overly legal documents. This is just us, talking to you—explaining how we treat your information with the care it deserves.
When you visit our site, we gather a few simple things—nothing creepy, nothing overly personal. Just what helps us give you a smoother, more personalized experience.
If you sign up for our newsletter or message us through the site, you’ll share things like your name and email address. That’s it. We don’t ask for your home address, credit card details, or anything too intimate.
Then there’s the stuff your browser naturally sends our way—things like your IP address, browser type, or what kind of device you're using. We also see how long you hang out on a page or what content you’re clicking on. It helps us understand what’s working—and what’s not—so we can make the site better for everyone.
One thing we absolutely do not collect? Sensitive information. No passwords, no bank details, no weird tracking that follows you across the internet. That’s not who we are.
Honestly? We just want to make your time here more useful. That’s really it.
We use your info to:
Send you updates only if you asked for them
See which guides or articles are most helpful
Respond to questions, messages, or feedback
Make sure the site loads properly no matter what device you're on
That’s the whole story. We’re not selling your data. We’re not passing it along to advertisers. No fine print. No bait and switch.
Like almost every website out there, we use cookies. Not the gooey chocolate chip kind (we wish), but the small data files your browser stores to help you have a faster, smoother experience next time you visit.
Cookies help us remember what you liked, what you clicked on, and how fast the site loaded for you. We also use tools like Google Analytics—not to spy on you, but to get a clearer picture of what people enjoy reading here.
If cookies weird you out, no hard feelings. You can always turn them off in your browser settings. Some things on the site might load a little slower, but it’ll still work.
Short answer: We don’t hand out your data like flyers at an airport.
Longer answer: We do use a few trusted services (like email platforms or analytics tools) to help us manage the site. They only get the info they need to do their job—and they’re required to keep it private. No one’s reading your messages. No one’s selling your email.
The only time we’d ever share personal info beyond that? If there’s a legal reason we absolutely have to—like a court order. But outside of that? Your info stays with us.
We’re not cybersecurity experts, but we do use standard protections like encrypted connections, security updates, and password-protected tools to keep things secure.
That said, no website can promise total immunity from data breaches. If something ever did go wrong, we’d be upfront about it and let you know right away.
Sometimes we point you to travel tools, local blogs, booking platforms, or cultural resources we trust. But once you click through to another site, their privacy policy applies—not ours. If you’re unsure, take a peek at their terms before you share anything there.
This part’s important—you’re always in control.
If you signed up for emails but changed your mind, there’s an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email we send. One click and you’re out. No guilt. No drama.
Want to know what information we’ve got saved? Want it deleted? Just shoot us an email at contact@myspecialvacation.com and we’ll take care of it. Simple as that.
Our content is made for adults (and maybe older teens). We don’t knowingly collect info from kids under 13. If we ever find out we’ve accidentally stored a child’s personal info, we’ll delete it immediately—promise.
Travel evolves, and so do we. Occasionally, we might update this policy to reflect new tools, services, or privacy standards. If we do, we’ll tweak the date at the top and leave the new version right here. If it’s a major change, we’ll make it super obvious.
We recommend checking back every now and then—but we’ll never try to slip in something shady behind your back.
We don’t believe in ghosting. If you’re confused about something, worried about your data, or just curious about how we operate, drop us a line at contact@myspecialvacation.com
We’ll get back to you as soon as we can—usually within a day or two, depending on whether we’re on the road or buried in draft posts.
Thanks for being here. Thanks for trusting us. And thanks for making My Special Vacation a part of your journey.
