Privacy Policy

Alright, let’s get real for a sec. At thepoortraveler.store, we’re all about helping you see the world without blowing all your hard-earned cash. Your privacy? Super important to us. This page is just here to let you know what info we collect, why we need it, and how we handle it (spoiler: we’re not into selling your secrets).

By poking around our site, you’re cool with this policy and how we work.

  1. What Info We Grab
    Whenever you swing by thepoortraveler.store, we might collect two kinds of info:

a) Personal Stuff (Only If You Hand It Over)
Think:

– Your name
– Email address
– Where to ship your stuff
– Payment info (don’t worry, all that goes through secure payment folks—we never see your card numbers)

We only see this if you:
– Sign up for newsletters
– Actually buy something
– Shoot us a message

b) Not-So-Personal Stuff
Automatically scooped up by cookies or tracking tools – just nerdy data to help us figure out what’s working. Stuff like:

– What browser you’re using
– How long you hang out on each page
– Which pages you peek at
– What device you’re on

  1. Why We Want Your Info
    Here’s the deal:

    – To make sure your orders don’t disappear into the void
    – To send you travel tips, deals, or updates (only if you said “yes please”)
    – To make the website less of a hot mess
    – To reply if you have questions or need help

And no, we don’t rent or sell your personal info. Like, ever. Not our vibe.

  1. Cookies & Tracking
    We drop cookies (the digital kind, sadly) to remember your cart or show you stuff you looked at before. Not your thing? You can mess with cookie settings in your browser.

We also use a few tried-and-true tools, like:
Google Analytics (helps us see what’s popular)
Mailchimp (for email stuff)
Shopify (powers the shop & handles orders)

These guys might log some anonymous stats, but they play by GDPR and CCPA rules.

  1. Sharing—Or Not Sharing—Your Info
    We only share your info when we have to, like:

    – With folks who help us run the shop (think: payment, shipping)
    – If the law comes knocking
    – To stop fraud or protect our site

But selling your info to random advertisers? Nah. Not happening.

  1. How We Keep Your Info Safe
    We use SSL, secure payment processors, and try not to hoard info we don’t need. Still, nothing online is 100% bulletproof, so just be smart about what you share.
  2. Your Rights (Because You’re the Boss)
    Depending on where you live, you can:

    – See what info we’ve got on you
    – Ask us to fix it or delete it
    – Unsubscribe from emails anytime
    – File a complaint if you’re not happy

Want us to zap your data? Just drop an email: 📧 support@thepoortraveler.store

  1. Links to Other Sites
    Sometimes we’ll point you to other cool travel sites, like:

    🌐 Skyscanner (cheap flights)
    🧳 Budget Your Trip (cost comparisons)
    🚍 Rome2Rio (transport planning)

They’ve got their own privacy rules, so peek at those before you hand over any details.

  1. Updates to This Policy
    If we tweak anything, we’ll update the “Effective Date” up top. Still using the site? That means you’re cool with the changes.
