Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 6, 2026

Welcome to Eat & Travel, Ling! (accessible via https://eatntravelling.com). Your privacy is incredibly important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit our blog, how we use it, and how we keep it safe in accordance with global data protection laws, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

If you use a contact form on our website to reach out to us, we collect your name, email address, and any message content you provide. This information is used strictly to reply to your inquiry and is sent directly to our secure email server hosted by IONOS. We do not use this information for marketing purposes unless you explicitly request it.

If you choose to subscribe to our blog updates using our subscription box (powered by Jetpack/WordPress), we collect your email address. This is used solely to automatically notify you when a new blog post is published. You can opt-out or unsubscribe at any absolute moment by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email we send.

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

We use MonsterInsights and Google Analytics to track aggregate visitor behavior on our blog. This helps us see which travel and food guides our readers enjoy the most. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous data, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, geographic location, and which pages you visit. This data is entirely anonymized and cannot be used to identify you personally.

We participate in affiliate marketing programs, including JRPass.com. If you click on an affiliate link on our site and make a purchase, a tracking cookie will be placed on your browser to ensure we receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

In the future, we may display advertisements (such as Google AdSense). These third-party ad networks may use cookies and web beacons to serve personalized ads based on your prior visits to our website or other sites on the internet.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We only share data with trusted third-party service providers necessary to run our blog, including:

• IONOS (Our secure website and email host)
• Google Analytics (For anonymized traffic reports)
• Automattic/Jetpack (For handling subscriptions and comment spam protection)

We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law or to protect our legal rights.

• If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
• For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time.
• Subscription email addresses are kept as long as you choose to remain subscribed to our blog notifications.

No matter where you live in the world, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• The Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• The Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You can request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
