If you have any questions about this Policy, contact us at [email protected]
1. Who We Are
The Site is owned and operated by Ted in Thailand, a travel-information website about Thailand. For the purposes of applicable data-protection law, we are the "data controller" of information collected through the Site.
Contact: [email protected]
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
a. Information You Provide Directly
If you contact us (for example, by email or through a contact form), we collect the information you choose to give us, such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
b. Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically, including:
Your IP address and approximate location (country/region)
Browser type and version, device type, and operating system
The pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the time spent on pages
The website or source that referred you to the Site
This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 4) and through our hosting and security provider.
c. Analytics and Site Measurement
We use third-party analytics and site-measurement services such as Google Analytics, and may use privacy-focused analytics or session-measurement and heatmap tools (for example, Plausible, Fathom, Hotjar, or Microsoft Clarity), to understand how visitors use the Site. These services collect information such as the pages you view and how you interact with the Site, and they may use cookies to do so. Analytics data is aggregated and used to improve the Site.
d. Hosting and Security (Cloudflare and Webflow)
The Site is hosted on Webflow and uses Cloudflare for content delivery, security, and redirect management. These providers process technical data (such as your IP address and request information) as necessary to deliver and secure the Site. Cloudflare may also process redirect requests when you click certain outbound links on the Site.
e. Email Subscriptions and Newsletter
If you subscribe to our email list or newsletter, we collect the email address you provide and, optionally, your name. We use a third-party email service provider to deliver emails. Your subscription data may be processed by that provider on our behalf and is subject to their privacy practices. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time.
f. Comments and User-Submitted Content
If commenting or other user-submission features are enabled on the Site, we collect the name, email address, and content you submit, along with your IP address for spam prevention and moderation. Any content you post in a public comment area may be visible to other visitors. Do not submit information you do not want to be publicly available.
g. Interactive and Question Features
If you use interactive tools on the Site, such as a chat feature or a question-and-answer function, we collect the questions and information you submit in order to respond to you and to improve those features.
h. Push Notifications
If you opt in to browser push notifications, we collect the technical token required to deliver them. You can revoke this permission at any time through your browser settings.

Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content
Respond to your inquiries and communicate with you
Send you newsletters, updates, travel tips, and occasional promotional content you have subscribed to

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to:
Enable core Site functionality and security
Measure and analyze traffic (analytics cookies)
Support affiliate-link tracking (see Section 5)
Deliver and measure advertising, where applicable (see Section 5)
We may also use tracking pixels or tags from advertising and social-media platforms (for example, a Meta/Facebook Pixel, Pinterest Tag, or TikTok Pixel) to measure engagement and deliver relevant content or advertising.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings and, where applicable, through the cookie-consent tool presented on the Site. Disabling cookies may affect how the Site functions.
5. Affiliate Links and Advertising
Affiliate Links
The Site contains affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase or booking, the merchant may place a cookie on your device and share limited transaction information with us or with the affiliate network so that we can be credited with a commission. This does not increase the price you pay. For more detail, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
Affiliate partners and networks we may work with include, among others, Stay22, Travelpayouts and its partner brands, Amazon Associates, and various travel-service providers. These third parties have their own privacy policies governing their use of your information.
Advertising
We may display advertising served by third-party advertising networks (for example, Google AdSense, Mediavine, or Raptive). These networks may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to serve advertising, including personalized advertising where permitted. These networks operate under their own privacy policies. Where required by law, personalized advertising will only be served with your consent, which you can manage through the Site's cookie-consent tool.
6. How We Share Information
We share information only in the following circumstances:
Service providers: with vendors who help us operate the Site (hosting, security, analytics, email delivery, and similar), who may process data only on our behalf.
Affiliate networks and merchants: as described in Section 5, when you interact with affiliate links.
Advertising networks: as described in Section 5, where advertising is displayed.
Legal reasons: where required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Site, our users, or others.
Business transfers: in connection with a merger, sale, or transfer of assets, in which case this Policy will continue to apply to your information.
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
7. Third-Party Websites
The Site links to third-party websites, including affiliate merchants. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit through a link on the Site.
8. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your information, and the right to object to certain processing.
For visitors in the UK / European Economic Area (UK GDPR / GDPR)
You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. Where we rely on consent (for example, for non-essential cookies, personalized advertising, or email marketing), you may withdraw it at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. Our lawful bases for processing are consent, our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Site, and compliance with legal obligations.
For visitors in California (CCPA/CPRA)
You have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell your personal information. You will not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by law. Analytics and log data are typically retained for a limited period and then deleted or anonymized. Email-subscription data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Correspondence and submitted content are retained for as long as needed to address your inquiry, provide the feature, and keep reasonable records.
10. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
11. International Visitors
The Site is operated with infrastructure that may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States and others. By using the Site, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in those locations, which may have different data-protection laws than your country of residence.
12. Data Security
We take reasonable measures, including the security features provided by our hosting and CDN providers, to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
