About this website and this notice
China Travel Journey publishes travel information about China. This notice explains how information may be processed when you visit the website, search it, contact us or follow third-party links.
For a privacy question, email [email protected]. You may also contact us on WhatsApp at +86 132 8111 5157. Please do not send passport copies, payment-card information or other sensitive information that is not needed for your enquiry.
Information involved in delivering the website
Your browser sends technical information when requesting a web page or file. Hosting and network providers may process information such as IP addresses, request times, requested URLs, browser information and error records to deliver and protect the service. The records kept and their retention depend on the hosting and network providers’ settings. Contact us if you need information about a particular request or record.
Searching the website
Search matches your query in your browser against a downloadable index of public website content. It does not send the query to a third-party search service. The query appears in the page URL and may therefore be included in hosting or network logs when you open or submit a search. It may also remain in your browser history.
Email and WhatsApp enquiries
If you email or message us, we receive the contact details, message and attachments you choose to provide. We use those details to respond and follow up on your enquiry. Email and WhatsApp are third-party services and process information under their own terms and privacy notices.
We do not treat an enquiry as permission to publish your message, contact information or a testimonial. Correspondence is handled through the email and messaging services used for the enquiry. Contact us to ask about information you have sent or to request deletion, subject to any applicable obligations.
Advertising and cookies
This website may display advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies, identifiers or similar technologies to deliver, measure or personalise advertising, depending on your settings and applicable requirements.
Google explains its processing at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and Advertising — Privacy & Terms. Browser settings can manage cookies; Google also offers advertising controls. These controls do not necessarily disable every form of advertising or data processing.
Our advertising integration is set to skip loading when your browser signals Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. This setting does not control data processing by external services that you open or interact with. Where an advertising provider presents privacy or consent choices, use those controls to manage your preferences.
Google Maps and other external services
The Chengdu page embeds a Google map. Loading an embedded service causes your browser to connect to that provider, which may receive technical information and use cookies or similar technologies under its own policies. Interacting with the map is also subject to Google's terms and privacy information.
Affiliate links, booking and payment websites
Some links include affiliate identifiers so a provider can attribute a visit or purchase to this website and potentially pay us a commission. When you follow a link to a booking provider, insurer, payment service or another external website, that provider controls the information you submit there. Review its privacy notice before sharing information or paying.
This static website does not contain a travel booking checkout or payment-card form. A voluntary tip or a third-party booking is handled on the relevant provider’s website.
Analytics
Google Analytics visitor analytics is not currently enabled on this website. This does not mean hosting logs, embedded services or advertising providers process no information. If visitor analytics is introduced, we will update this notice to explain the change.
Accounts, comments, uploads and RSS
The static site does not provide visitor accounts, login, a comment-submission form or a media-upload service.
RSS delivers public article updates. The website does not require an email address to read its RSS feed. A request for a feed is still a web request and may be recorded by the hosting provider in the same way as a page request.
Retention, location and your choices
Retention depends on the information, its purpose, the service provider and any applicable obligations. We do not specify a single fixed retention period for all correspondence or technical logs. Email, messaging, advertising and hosting providers may process information in different locations under their own policies. Contact us for information about a particular record or service.
Depending on where you live and the applicable rules, you may have rights concerning information held about you. Contact us using the email above to explain your request. We will consider it according to the applicable rules and may need information to verify the request. Requests about a third-party booking, payment or account should also be directed to the relevant provider.
Updates
We may update this notice when the website or its services change. The date above identifies the latest version. For a question about this notice, contact [email protected].
