PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: October 27, 2025
Hey there! This is the privacy policy for Viyak (Visit It Your Way). We know it’s not the most exciting thing to read, but it’s important. We’ll try to keep it clear and human, without too much legal mumbo-jumbo.
1. Who we are

Our goal is simple - to help people explore the world their way, with real stories, travel tips, and guides that feel personal, not corporate.

2. What data we collect and why
We only collect what’s necessary to make the site work, improve your experience, and offer travel inspiration that fits you.
Here’s what we might collect:
a) Info you give us directly
When you contact us by email or through a form
When you sign up for updates or newsletters
When you submit your story, comment, or travel tip
That might include your name, email address, and any message you write.
b) Info collected automatically
Technical data like your IP address, browser type, device info
Pages you visit, time spent, clicks, and interactions
General location (like city or country), based on your device
We use this to understand how people use our site, fix problems, and make content better.
c) Cookies
Cookies help us remember your preferences (like language or region), and track anonymous analytics so we can see what’s working.
You can turn off cookies in your browser if you prefer, but some things might not work right (like saved searches or filters).
3. How we use your info
We use the info we collect to:
run and improve the website
personalize the travel content you see
send updates or newsletters (if you opted in)
answer your messages or feedback
make sure the site runs safely and smoothly
We don’t sell or rent your data. Ever.
We only share it with trusted services that help us operate (like analytics or hosting platforms).
4. Third-party tools and services
We use a few third-party tools to help run Viyak smoothly. Here’s the rundown:
Google Analytics - helps us understand how people use the site (page visits, time on site, etc.)
Ticket search partner - the search widget on our main page is powered by a travel provider. If you search or book tickets through it, you’ll be redirected to their site, and their privacy policy will apply.
Email service - if you subscribe to our newsletter, your email is stored in our email platform so we can send updates.
These tools may use cookies or tracking scripts, but they only collect data necessary to provide their services. We don’t control how they store or process it, so check their own privacy policies if you want details.
5. Data storage and security
All info we collect is stored on secure servers and protected with standard security measures.
We try hard to keep your data safe from loss, theft, or unauthorized access.
That said, the internet isn’t 100% secure. No system is. So please be careful about what you share online, even here.
6. Data retention
We only keep your info as long as we need it to provide our services, or as required by law.
If you unsubscribe from our emails or ask us to delete your data, we’ll remove it as soon as possible.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. You can:
ask to see what data we have about you
request correction or deletion of your data
object to certain processing (like marketing emails)
withdraw consent if you’ve given it before
To do any of that, just email us at [email protected].
We’ll handle your request within a reasonable time, usually within 30 days.
8. Children’s privacy
Our website is meant for general audiences. We don’t knowingly collect personal info from kids under 16.
If you think a child has shared info with us, please contact us and we’ll delete it.
9. International visitors
Our site is hosted in the United States. If you’re visiting from another country, be aware that your data may be transferred to or stored on US servers.
By using our site, you agree to that transfer.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy once in a while to reflect new features, laws, or tools we use.
When we do, we’ll update the “last updated” date at the top of this page.
If the changes are big, we’ll post a notice on the homepage or send you an email (if you’re subscribed).
11. Contact us
Got questions about privacy, cookies, or data use?
We usually reply fast, unless we’re out exploring somewhere.
