Effective Date: March 1, 2026
eTravel Blackboard Asia LLC (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website etravelblackboardasia.com (the “Site”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling any personal information we collect in a responsible and transparent manner. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, with whom we may share it, and the choices you have regarding your data.
This Policy applies solely to information collected through our Site. It does not cover information collected offline or through other channels.
Information We Collect
We collect very limited personal information because our Site is primarily a content platform that provides travel strategy articles and planning advice without requiring user accounts, logins, or subscriptions.
The types of information we may receive include:
- Automatically collected technical data such as your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device information, pages visited, time and date of access, time spent on pages, and referring/exit pages. This data is gathered through standard server logs and cookies or similar tracking technologies.
- Information you voluntarily provide when you contact us directly (for example, when you send an email to our contact address). This may include your name, email address, phone number (if provided), and the content of your message.
We do not collect sensitive personal information (such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, or biometric data). We also do not intentionally collect data from children under the age of 16.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect only for the following limited purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and improve the functionality and security of the Site
- To understand how visitors interact with our content so we can make the Site more useful and relevant
- To respond to inquiries, comments, or requests you send to us via email
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or potential misuse of the Site
- To comply with applicable legal obligations, protect our rights, or respond to lawful requests from public authorities
We do not use your information for marketing purposes, behavioral advertising, profiling, automated decision-making, or selling personal data to third parties.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our Site uses minimal cookies and similar technologies, primarily for essential functions such as remembering language preferences (if applicable) and collecting basic analytics data through privacy-friendly tools.
We do not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or trackers designed for cross-site behavioral advertising. Any analytics services we use are configured to anonymize IP addresses and limit data retention wherever possible.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may limit some non-essential features of the Site, but core content will remain fully accessible.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
We may share information only in these narrow circumstances:
- With service providers who assist us in operating the Site (such as hosting providers, basic analytics tools, or email service providers). These parties are contractually obligated to use the data only for the purposes we specify and to protect it with appropriate safeguards.
- To comply with legal obligations, court orders, or valid requests from government authorities.
- To protect the rights, property, or safety of eTravel Blackboard Asia LLC, our users, or the public, as required or permitted by law.
Data Storage and International Transfers
Our company is based in the United States, and the Site is hosted on servers located in the US. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that any international transfers comply with applicable data protection laws, including appropriate safeguards where required.
Data Retention
We retain automatically collected technical data (such as server logs) for no longer than 26 months.
Information you provide in direct communications (such as emails) is kept only for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and resolve any related issues, usually no more than 12 months unless a longer period is required for legal reasons.
Your Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data (subject to certain exceptions)
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent (though we do not rely on consent as our primary basis)
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within the time frame required by applicable law.
We do not discriminate against users who exercise their privacy rights.
Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
