Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are & Data Controller

This Privacy Policy governs the processing of personal data collected through the digital publication and travel advisory website operated by 111111 ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"), reachable at the domain dikkstra.site. We take digital privacy seriously and observe United States federal and state data privacy principles, including relevant standards under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (California Privacy Protection Agency - CPPA oversight).

For any questions regarding data handling, contact our designated privacy desk via email at [email protected].

2. Scope of Policy

This policy applies exclusively to information collected through dikkstra.site, electronic communications initiated via our consultation forms, newsletter subscriber registrations, and technical telemetry collected through standard web logging.

3. Categories of Data Collected

We collect information across the following categories:

• Information Submitted Voluntarily: Full name, email address, telephone number, destination preferences, and any personal travel notes provided through our inquiry forms.
• Automatically Collected Telemetry: IP addresses, browser identification, device fingerprints, operating systems, time zones, referral URLs, and interactions with editorial pages.
• Cookie and Analytics Identifiers: Anonymous measurement identifiers deployed subject to your consent status.

4. Purposes and Legal Basis of Processing

5. Cookies, Analytics & Google Consent Mode v2

Our website implements Google Consent Mode v2. By default, before any explicit choice is made by the user, consent signals for advertising (ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) and analytics (analytics_storage) are preset to 'denied'. Only strictly necessary technical session tokens are initialized. Users maintain the autonomy to alter their consent choices anytime using our persistent "Cookie Settings" button in the footer.

6. Data Disclosure & Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information. We only disclose necessary data to verified technical processors who assist in operating our infrastructure (such as secure cloud hosting providers and transactional email carriers), or whenever legally obligated by valid subpoena, court order, or applicable federal or state statutes.

7. International Transfers

Servers powering dikkstra.site are primarily situated in the United States. If accessing our website from abroad, your data will be transferred and processed in accordance with robust industry-standard safeguards and contractual protections.

8. Retention Period

We retain inquiry records for up to twenty-four (24) months after the conclusion of customer dialogue, or until such time as you request deletion. Technical server log entries are systematically flushed within ninety (90) days.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as California under the CCPA/CPRA, Virginia under VCDPA, or other state frameworks), you are entitled to:

• The right to know what personal data is being held and request a copy;
• The right to request the correction of inaccurate personal details;
• The right to request deletion of your data without discrimination;
• The right to opt-out of cross-context behavioral advertising;
• The right to lodge complaints with regulatory oversight authorities (such as the California Privacy Protection Agency - CPPA or Federal Trade Commission - FTC).

To exercise any of these privileges, contact us directly at [email protected].

10. Child Privacy

Our publications and curatorial offerings are not directed at minors under the age of 13 in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Policy Modifications

We may update this policy periodically to reflect evolving legal precedents or technological improvements. Revisions become effective immediately upon public posting on this page.
