Privacy

Information we collect

If you contact Elated Soul by form or email, we receive the details you choose to send, such as your name, email address, and message.

The site may also collect broad analytics information, such as pages viewed, approximate location, device or browser type, referring page, and general usage patterns.

How we use information

We use information to reply to messages, keep the site working, understand what readers find useful, improve the writing and structure of the site, support security and performance, and keep basic records where needed.

Lawful basis

Where we process personal information, we rely on lawful bases such as legitimate interests, consent where required, and legal obligations. For example, we may use legitimate interests to keep the site secure, respond to reader messages, understand broad site performance, maintain useful travel content, and keep basic operational records.

Analytics

Analytics help us understand broad patterns, such as which pages are read and how people arrive at the site. We use this to make practical editorial and performance decisions, not to build a detailed profile of individual readers.

Elated Soul is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, and may use Cloudflare services for hosting, security, image delivery, performance, and analytics.

Affiliate links

Some pages may include affiliate links. If you click one and make a booking or purchase, Elated Soul may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate networks or merchants may process basic referral or click information so links can work and commissions can be attributed. Elated Soul may also use simple redirect links for some affiliate destinations.

Cookies and similar technologies

Elated Soul does not intentionally use non-essential analytics cookies at the time of writing. Some services that help run, protect, or deliver the site may use cookies or similar technologies where needed for security or performance. Affiliate networks, merchants, and third-party websites you visit through external or affiliate links may use their own cookies and privacy practices.

If we add tools that use non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies on Elated Soul, we will update this page and provide any required choices.

Sharing with service providers

We may use service providers to host the site, process contact messages, deliver images, measure analytics, manage affiliate links, improve performance, and keep the site secure. They only receive the information needed to provide those services.

Retention

We keep information only for as long as it is useful for the reasons described here, unless we need to keep it longer for security, operational, accounting, or legal reasons.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to some uses of your personal information, or ask for data portability where it applies.

We will respond in line with applicable data protection law and may need to verify your request.

If you are in the UK and have concerns about how your personal information is handled, please contact us first so we can try to help. You also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner's Office.
