Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 1st, 2025

At Travel Lifestyle Club (“we”, “us”, “our”), we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website: https://travellifestyleclub.com.

1. Who We Are

Travel Lifestyle Club is a UK-based website that shares travel tools, tips, and affiliate offers. We may earn commissions when you click on some of our affiliate links.

For all data matters, you can contact us at:
📧 hello@travellifestyleclub.com

2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, plus the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
If you use Gravatar, an anonymised hash of your email may be sent to their service. See their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/

Media

If you upload images, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other users may download and extract this data.

Contact Forms

If you fill in a contact form, we collect the personal data you submit (e.g. name, email, message) for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. We do not use this data for marketing unless you give us explicit consent.

Cookies

Our site uses cookies to:

  • Remember your preferences

  • Monitor site performance (via analytics)

  • Track affiliate referrals
    You can manage or disable cookies via your browser settings. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

Embedded Content

Articles may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, Instagram posts). These sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction — just as if you visited their site directly.

Analytics

We use tools like Google Analytics to track website usage (e.g. pages visited, time spent on site) in a way that does not personally identify you. This helps us improve our content and user experience.

Affiliate Tracking

We use affiliate links which may use cookies or unique referral codes to track when you visit a partner site via our links. This allows the partner to attribute the referral to us and may involve the use of tracking tools provided by the partner.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We collect and process your data based on one or more of the following lawful bases:

  • Consent – e.g. when you opt into our mailing list or accept cookies

  • Legitimate Interest – e.g. to maintain site security, analyse traffic, and provide relevant affiliate content

  • Contract – where processing is necessary to fulfil your request (e.g. contact form response)

  • Legal Obligation – to comply with the law

4. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments and their metadata: retained indefinitely

  • User profiles (if applicable): stored until account deletion

  • Contact form submissions: stored securely for up to 12 months unless a longer period is necessary

5. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you

  • Request correction or deletion of your data

  • Withdraw consent (e.g. unsubscribe from emails)

  • Object to or restrict certain types of data processing

  • Lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)

To exercise any of these rights, please email us at hello@travellifestyleclub.com

6. Where Your Data Is Sent or Shared

  • Spam detection services (e.g. Akismet) may check comments for spam

  • Third-party analytics and affiliate platforms may process data for performance tracking

  • We do not sell your data or share it for marketing without your consent

7. International Data Transfers

Some third-party tools we use (like Google, Facebook, or email marketing platforms) may transfer data outside the UK. These providers are required to follow UK data protection laws, and where applicable, data is transferred under UK-approved safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses).

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site means you accept the changes.
