Information We Collect
As with any website, we collect various types of information when you access Outerlands Travel, including:

- Contact Information: name, email address, or other personal details that you provide when you contact us, leave a comment, or sign up for a newsletter.
- Comments: if you leave a comment on our site, you will be prompted to share your name and email address. Additionally, your IP address may be collected when you leave a comment.
Non-Personal Information
This is information that does not directly identify you, but is standard procedure to collect when using a website. For example:
- Cookies: We use cookies to collect information about your site usage, including what pages you visit, the time you spend on the site, clicks, and how you arrived at Outerlands Travel (e.g. did you run a Google search or click a link from a third-party website).
- Log Data: similar to cookies, our server automatically collects log data when you visit our site, including your IP address, operating system, which web browser you’re using, referring URLs, and the date and time you visited our site.
How We Use Collected Information
The information we collect is used for various purposes, most notably to enhance the user experience. For example:
Improving the Site
- Analyzing visitor behavior and tracking website performance: this provides insights into how we can improve your experience in the future (for example, are more visitors reading an article on their mobile than a laptop, and we need to better optimize the site for mobile use? Does a particular page take a long time to load, and we need to reduce its load time to enhance future visits?).
- Creating a more personalized experience: cookies help us remember your preferences, and improve your experience on a return visit (for example, loading pages faster or suggesting relevant content based on past interactions).
Communications
- Responding to your inquiry: if you have messaged us or left a comment on a post, we need to access your contact information in order to reply.
- Sending you newsletters or updates if you have previously opted in to receiving these communications from us.
Security and Legal Compliance
- Security: certain data helps protect the security of the site and our community of users against nefarious actors like hackers.
- Legal Compliance: data collection is necessary to comply with current laws (such as saving your cookie preferences in accordance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR) or otherwise enforce agreements, resolve disputes or legal obligations.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent your information to third parties in any way. However, we may share your information with a trusted third-party only in the following circumstances:

Third-Party Affiliates
We also partner with third-party ad networks like Google AdSense, Viator, and TravelPayouts, in order to support the website and keep our content free, by earning commission at no additional cost to you.
