Your privacy
Privacy Policy
This policy explains, in plain language, what information this website handles and why. We aim to collect as little as possible.
Last updated: October 2026
Information we collect
- Reading the site: you can read every guide without an account. We don't ask for your name, address or payment details.
- Email sign-up box: our newsletter is not open yet. Email addresses typed into the sign-up box are not saved or sent anywhere.
- Emails you send us: if you email us, we receive your email address and message and use them only to reply.
- Site administrators: a small number of staff sign in to edit content; their email address and sign-in details are stored securely by our hosting provider. Visitors don't need accounts.
Information stored on your device
- Read-aloud preferences: if you use "Listen to this article", your chosen voice and speed are saved in your browser so they're remembered next time. This stays on your device and isn't sent to us.
- Affiliate and partner tools: we use Travelpayouts, and our booking partners (such as Expedia and Booking.com via CJ Affiliate) may set cookies or similar technologies when you click a booking link, so they can credit us for bookings. These are controlled by those companies under their own privacy policies.
Third-party services
This site is hosted by our website platform provider, which may process technical information such as IP addresses and browser type to deliver and secure the site. When you click a booking link you leave our site, and the partner's privacy policy applies to anything you do there, including any booking.
How we use information
To run and improve the site, reply to messages, and receive commissions on bookings as described in our Affiliate Disclosure. We do not sell personal information.

You can block or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. To ask about any information we hold about you, or to request that it be deleted, email support@toptentraveldestinations.com.
Changes
We'll update this page if the way we handle information changes — for example, if we open the newsletter or add analytics — and change the date above.
