Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Bangladesh Travel Guide (www.bangladeshtravelguide.com, "we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit the website. Bangladesh Travel Guide is an independent blog run by an individual publisher. It is not connected to any government body or official tourism organisation, although many of our guides cite official websites as their main sources of information.

By using this website, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please stop using the site or adjust your browser settings as described in section 8.

1. Information We Collect Directly

We do not offer user accounts, paid services, or comment sections, and we do not ask you to submit personal information in order to read our content. We do not set cookies of our own to store your preferences or personal details.

If you contact us by email or through the Contact page, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your name, email address, and message. We use it only to read and reply to your message, and we do not sell it or add you to marketing lists.

2. Server Logs

Like most websites, the servers and hosting services that deliver this site may automatically record standard technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring and exit pages, requested URLs, and the date and time of the request. This data is used for security, troubleshooting, and keeping the site running reliably. We do not use it to identify you personally.

3. Third-Party Services Used on This Site

Our own site stores no personal data, but we use the following third-party services, which may collect information through cookies and similar technologies. These providers act under their own privacy policies.

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website, for example which pages are read, how visitors arrive, and which countries and device types they use. Google Analytics may set cookies or use similar identifiers and receives data such as your approximate location, browser and device information, and pages viewed. We use this information in aggregated form to improve our guides.

Google processes this data under its own policies. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

5. Google Search Console

We use Google Search Console to monitor how our pages appear in Google Search, including search queries, impressions, clicks, and indexing or technical issues. Search Console reports data about searches and pages in aggregate. It does not give us the identity of individual visitors.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

A cookie is a small file stored on your device by your browser. The cookies and similar identifiers that may be set when you use this website come from the third-party services described above, mainly for analytics, advertising, and affiliate tracking. They are not set by us to store personal information, and we do not control them.

7. Your Choices and Controls

• Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and tell you when a cookie is set. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site or its ads work.
• Google Analytics: Use the opt-out browser add-on.
• Google ad personalisation: Manage your preferences in your Google Ad Center.
• Browser privacy tools: Content blockers, private browsing, and tracking-protection features can limit analytics and advertising technologies.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, including in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and some US states, you may have rights over your personal data, such as the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to its use, and to withdraw consent where processing relies on it. We do not hold a database of visitor profiles, so most of this data is held by the third parties above, and requests about it should go to them. If you have contacted us and want your message deleted, email us at the address in section 14, and we will respond within a reasonable time.

9. International Data Transfers

Our analytics, advertising, and affiliate partners operate globally. Information collected through their services may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States, under their own safeguards and policies.

10. Data Retention and Security

We keep emails you send us only for as long as needed to respond and to maintain a record of corrections or enquiries. Retention of analytics, advertising, and affiliate data is controlled by the relevant third-party provider. The website is served over HTTPS, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13, or under 16 where local law sets a higher age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

12. Links to Other Websites

Our guides link to third-party websites, including government portals, transport operators, and booking platforms. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.

13. Changes to This Policy and Contact

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices or the services we use change. We may join affiliate or advertisement networks in future. In that case, we will update our relevant legal pages. To know about how our affiliate relationship may affect the website, visit our Affiliate Disclosue page. The date at the top shows when it was last revised, and continued use of the site means you accept the updated version.
