Privacy

This policy explains how The Conscious Guide uses personal information when you browse, create an account, save an experience or get in touch. For questions or requests about your information, write to hello@conscious-guide.com.

When you create an account or sign in, we use your email address and sign-in information to give you access to your account. If you choose Google sign-in, Google also processes information as part of that service.

Without an account, saved listings stay in your browser. When you sign in, they are linked to your account so you can find them on your other signed-in devices. We also use browser storage to remember your language and keep you signed in.

When you contact us, we use your name, email address and message to reply. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we keep your email address, any city or interests you choose, your preferred language, where you signed up and when you gave consent. You can unsubscribe at any time.

When you submit an experience, we use your account or contact email, the details, links and images you provide, and our review records to assess and manage your submission. Details and images included in an approved listing are published on the guide. Please only share personal information and images you have permission to make public.

If you choose nearby search, your approximate location is used in your browser to filter experiences by distance. We do not save those coordinates to your account or database.

Our hosting service provides statistics about visits, pages viewed, visit duration, referral sources and device types, with country estimates based on the browser’s time zone. We use these to understand how people use the guide.

We also measure page speed, visual stability and responsiveness. These measurements are grouped by page type and broad screen size, then kept as daily totals and ranges for 35 days. They contain no account details, IP addresses, individual page URLs or persistent visitor identifiers, use no cookies and are not sent to advertising services. This performance measurement respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control.

We work with service providers to host and secure the website, manage accounts, store information and deliver email. These providers process the information needed to perform those services, including recipient addresses and message content for email delivery.

Our service providers may process information in countries outside Switzerland. Hosting and security providers may process request logs and use cookies to protect the website from misuse.

When you follow a BookRetreats partner link, we record the listing, destination website and time of the click. This record contains no account details, email address, IP address or browser identifier.

Bookings take place on the organiser’s or booking provider’s website. Those websites, and any social platforms we link to, have their own privacy policies. Check them before sharing information.

We do not sell your personal information, use third-party advertising trackers or use Google Analytics.

We keep account details while your account exists, messages for as long as needed to handle your enquiry, and submission and review records for as long as needed to manage the guide and protect it from misuse.

Unsubscribing stops our newsletters. We retain your subscription record, including your email address and consent and unsubscribe dates, to remember your choice. You can ask us to delete it.

Listings saved in your browser remain until you remove them or clear browser storage. To remove listings saved to your account, do so while signed in; clearing your browser does not remove account saves.

You can ask to see, correct or delete your personal information by writing to hello@conscious-guide.com. We will respond within a reasonable time, taking account of your request and any legal obligations. You can unsubscribe from newsletters at any time.

We may update this policy as the guide develops. The date above shows when it was last revised.
